AB  'NER  ( light-maker) .  Cousin  of  Saul  and  com- 
mander-in-chief of  his  army.  After  Saul's  death 
he  made  Ishbosheth,  Saul's  son,  Idng,  but  betrayed 
him  to  David,  and  was  killed  by  the  friend.s  of 


60  when  his  father's  family  left  Ur  and  w^ent  to 
Haran  (where  Terah  died,  aged  215),  and  75  when 
the  promise  was  first  made,  when,  as  directed,  he 
entered  Canaan,  and  fixed  his  camp  under  a  sacred 
oak  near  Shechem,  where  he  built  an  altar  and 
worshiped  God,  receiving  a  promise  of  the  in- 
heritance of  the  land  by  his  descendants. 

Abraham  is  the  first  recorded  worshiper  of  the 
one  true  God.  The  promise  made  to  him  was 
two-fold — temporal  and  spiritual :  that  his  descend- 
ants should  be  many  and  prosperous,  and  that  by 
him  all  the  families  of  the  earth  should  be  blessed. 
The  promise  has  been  fulfilled  in  both  ways :  his 
descendants,  both  Jews  and  Arabs,  have  been  and 
are  now  countless,  and  the  spiritual  blessings,  by 
the  rapid  distribution  of  the  Bible  through  the 
world,  are  reaching  all  the  "famiUes." 

Besides  Sarah  he  had  a  wife  named  Kettjrah, 
wlio  bore  him  several  sons;  and  also  a  handmaid, 
Hagar,  whose  son,  Ishmael,  was  the  head  of  a 
great  family  (see  Ishmael). 

Before  Isaac  was  born.  Lot,  his  nephew,  was  re- 
garded as  his  heir,  and  lived  with  liim.    He  built  an 


ABRAHAM 


ABSALOM 


altar  between  Bethel  and  Hal.  From  here  he  went 
south  ' '  going  and  pulling  up ' '  his  tent-pins,  towards 
Beersheoa,  whence  a  famine  drove  him  into  Egypt. 

Pharaoh  hearing  of  the  beauty  of  Sarai,  accord- 
ing to  the  kingly  privilege,  took  her  into  his  family, 
but  soon  returned  her  to  Abraham  with  presents— 
"a  blessing"  of  cattle  and  servants,  so  that  when 
Abram  returned  into  Canaan  he  was  much 
richer  in  cattle,  silver  and  gold.  Lot  had  been 
with  him,  and  again  they  camped  near  Bethel. 

Their  cattle  having  increased  to  a  great  number, 
and  contentions  among  their  servants  arising, 
Abram  and  Lot  separated,  one  choosing  the  plains 
of  Jericho  and  the  other  the  hills  of  Judea.  After 
this  time  the  promise  was  again  repeated;  and 
Abram  pitched  his  tent  in  the  oak  grove  near 
Mamre,  where  he  built  another  altar. 

He  is  first  called  The  Hebrew  on  the  rescue  of 
his  nephew  Lot  from  Chedorlaomer;  but  his  lan- 
guage is  supposed  to  have  been  Chaldaic,  rather 
than  the  Hebrew  of  the  Old  Testament. 


and  the  destruction  of  the  cities  of  the  plain  an- 
nounced, Abraham  discovered  that  he  "had  enter- 
tained angels  unawares."  He  begged  to  save  his 
nephew  Lot  and  his  family,  and  the  next  morning, 
when  offering  the  daily  sacrifice,  as  he  saw  the  as- 
cending smoke  from  the  plain,  he  probably  felt 
sure  of  Lot's  safety. 

During  the  next  few  months  he  practiced  the 
same  deception  on  the  Abimelech  of  Gerar  that  he 
had  23  years  before  on  the  Pharoah  of  Egypt. 
The  king  was  warned  of  his  danger  in  a  dream, 
and  dismissed  Sarah  with  presents. 

Isaac  was  born  B.  C.  1896,  and  Ishmael  (with 
his  mother)  was  dismissed  at  the  time  Isaac  was 
weaned  (at  3  years),  because  Ishmael  mocked  at 
the  child  (probably  offered  pretended  worship  to 
the  child  of  the  promise). 

Isaac  was  25  when  he  was  laid  on  the  altar,  and 
saved  from  burning  by  the  angel's  voice,  Abra- 
ham's faith  having  proved  true.  His  mother  died 
at  Hebron  12  years  after,  at  the  age  of  127,  and  was 


At  this  time  he  could  arm  318  of  his  trained 
servants,  showing  that  his  family  must  have  been 
very  large.  The  Bedawins  of  Syria  are  now  exact 
representatives  of  the  ancient  patriarch,  in  their 
manner  of  living  in  tents,  by  keeping  flocks,  in 
habits  and  religion,  and  in  being  ready  on  the 
shortest  notice  to  make  a  raid  for  defence  or  repri- 
sal. At  Mamre  his  faith  was  made  stronger  by 
having  the  promise  once  more  repeated,  and  by  the 
prophesy  of  the  bondage  in  Egypt,  vrtth  the  deli- 
verance. 

Ishmael  was  born  of  Hagar  when  Abram  was 
85  years  old,  and  Sarah  75,  and  was  to  have  been 
considered  a  son  of  Sarai,  but  the  childless  woman 
could  not  resti'ain  her  envy  and  jealously  of  the  fa- 
vored mother  Hagar.  When  Abram  was  99  the 
promise  was  renewed,  a  distinction  being  made— 
of  temporal  blessings  for  Ishmael  and  spiritual  for 
Isaac  who  was  promised  to  Sarai.  Abram's  name 
was  changed  to  Abraham  and  his  wife's  to  Sarah, 
and  the  covenant  of  circumcision  was  renewed  to 
all  the  family  and  servants. 

A  few  days  after  he  entertained  "three  men," 
who  appeared  at  his  tent  door  in  the  dress  and 
manner  of  the  natives.  This  is  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  instances  on  record  of  ancient  customs. 
The  patriarch  and  his  wife,  with  their  own  hands, 
prepared  refreshments,  and  stood  by  while  their 
guests  ate.  Travelers  in  Syria  meet  with  such  at- 
tentions now  among  Abraham's  descendants. 
When  the  promise  of  a  son  to  Sarah  was  renewed, 


buried  in  Machpelah,  which  Abraham  bought  of  the 
sons  of  Heth.  This  legal  conveyance  of  land  is  the 
oldest  on  record. 

Abraham  sent  Eliezer  to  renew  family  ties  with 
his  family  in  Haran,  and  get  a  wife  for  Isaac,  when 
that  beautiful  and  touching  incident  of  "Rebekah 
at  the  Well"  occurred.  This  brilliant  picture  in- 
cludes all  the  requisites  of  a  perfect  marriage — 
the  sanction  of  parents,  favor  of  God,  domestic 
habits  of  the  wife,  her  beauty,  modest  consent, 
kindness,  and  her  successful  hold  on  her  husband's 
love  even  while  living  in  the  same  tent  with  her 
mother-in-law. 

Abraham's  descendants  occupy  the  land  from 
Egypt  to  the  Euphrates,  besides  those  that  are 
"scattered  and  peeled  "  all  over  the  world. 

He  died  aged  175,  and  was  buried  in  the  cave 
of  Machpelah  by  his  sons  Isaac  and  Ishmael.  To 
this  day  he  is  called  the  "friend  of  God,"  and  is 
reverenced  alike,  as  the  Father  of  the  Faithful  by 
Jew,  Mohammedan  and  Christian.

mai,  king  of  Geshur,  born  at  Hebron.  He  is  de- 
scribed as  a  very  handsome  man,  liaving  a  very 
lieavy  liead  of  hair.  Absalom  killed  nis  half- 
brother,  Auinon,  for  an  outrage  on  his  sister  Tamar, 
and  fled  for  security  to  his  grandfather,  king  Tal- 
mai,  where  he  stayed  3  years.  Joab,  by  the  help 
of  a  talented  woman  of  Tekoah,  induced  David  to 
pardon  Absalom  and  recall  him,  but  kept  him  two 
years  longer  out  of  his  presence.  By  the  death 
of  Amnon,  and  it  may  be  of  Chilead  also,  Absa- 
lom was  the  oldest  son  of  the  king  living,  and 
he  was  ambitious  for  the  throne,  plotted  for  the

John  D'Acre.  Seaport  8  miles  north  of  Carmel, 
by  the  bay  of  Acre.  The  ancient  port  is  filling 
with  sand,  and  large  ships  must  land  at  Hepha, 
near  Carmel.  The  plain  of  Acre  is  6  miles  wide, 
to  the  hills  of  GaUlee,  and  is  one  of  the  most  fertile 
in  Palestine.  It  was  given  to  Asher  by  Joshua, 
but  never  conquered  (Judg.  i.).  Paul  stayed  here 
one  day.  Very  few  antiquities  are  to  be  found  in 
the  modern  town,  except  such  as  have  been  used  in 
rebuilding  the  walls  and  houses.  Napoleon  failed 
to  capture  Acre  in  1799.  During  the  crusades  it 
was  an  important  city,  next  to  Jerusalem.    It  has

plwce  of  power,  "stole  the  hearts  of  tlie  people" 
by  flatteries  and  promises,  and  proclaimed  himself 
king  at  Hebron.  His  father,  David,  was  obliged  to 
fly  to  Mahanaim,  and  Absalom  took  possession 
of  Jerusalem.  The  crafty  Hushai,  whom  David 
sent  to  advise  and  assist  Ahithophel  in  counseling 
Absalom,  gained  time  for  the  true  king,  and  the 
forces  of  Absalom  were  defeated  in  the  wood  of 
Ephraim,  and  Absalom  himself,  having  entangled 
his  hair  in  a  tree,  was  killed  by  Joab,  David's  gen- 
eral, and  buried  under  a  heap  of  loose  stones  as  a 
mark  of  contempt.  David  waited  in  the  gate  of 
Mahanaim  for  the  news  of  the  battle,  and  mourned 
bitterly  when  he  knew  his  son  was  dead. 

Absalom  raised  a  pillar  "in  his  lifetime,"  in  the 
king's  dale,  but  the  pillar  and  its  place  have  disap- 
peared, leaving  no  trace.  The  monument  called 
Absalom's  tomb,  in  the  Kidron  valley,  is  a  modern 
structure,  nearly  all  cut  from  the  solid  rock,  and 
on  a  side  hill,  not  in  a  dale.

ACTS  OF  THE  APOSTLES.  The  similarity  of 
words  and  forms  of  sentences  between  the  Acts 
and  Luke  leads  to  the  belief  that  Luke  wrote  both. 
The  book  repeats  a  part  of  Christ's  history,  espe- 
cially the  ascension  and  what  attended  that  event, 
and  the  advent  of  the  Holy  Spirit  at  the  Pentecost, 
with  the  wonderful  success  of  their  preaching. 
The  Church  in  Jerusalem  is  then  noticed ;  its  per- 
secutions, and  the  conversion  of  one  of  its  most 
violent  enemies  (Paul)  ;  and  then  the  narrative 
includes  the  efforts  made  to  spread  the  Gospel  by

Peter  and  by  Paul.  The  chief  interest  in  the  book, 
after  the  introduction,  is  the  activity,  success,  suf- 
ferings and  teachings  of  the  great  apostle.  The 
book"  seems  unfinished.  The  author  was  a  com- 
panion of  Paul,  and  a  witness  of  most  of  the  acts 
he  records.  His  design  was  to  show  the  co-opera- 
tion of  God  in  spreading  Christianity,  and  to  prove 
the  perfect  equality  of  right  and  privilege  in  the 
new  Church  of  Gentile  and  Jew,  and  to  give  illus- 
trations of  the  power  and  working  of  the  religion 
of  Jesus.  Written  after  A.  D.  63.    The  place  is  not

AD'AM  {the  man;  or  reddish  tint). 
The  peculiar  work  of  the  6th  day  of  the 
creation,  the  crown  of  the  whole  fabric, 
was  man,  made  in  the  divine  image, 
he  alone  of  all  animals  having  a  spirit- 
ual life.  Adam  was  made  male  and 
female,  and  the  two  were  placed  in 
the  garden  Eden  (Eden),  where  pro- 
per food  abounded.  Some  believe  that 
a  pair  of  each  race  were  made,  black, 
brown,  red,  yellow,  white,  and  many 
others,  because  there  are  such  great 
differences  in  complexion  and  figure  among  man- 
kind. 

The  original  state  of  man  was  one  of  activity  and 
enjoyment.  God  assumed  form  and  speech,  and 
instructed  His  children  how  to  dress  and  keep  the 
garden,  and  exercised  their  faculties  in  naming  the 
animals  that  He  had  made;  and  taught  them  some- 
thing of  the  qualities  and  relations  of  vegetables, 
earths,  the  heavens,  and  external  objects  to  which 
they  were  related. 

The  forming  of  the  woman  from  a  rib  of  Adam 
has  been  declared  a  poetic  myth;  but  the  lesson  is 
just  as  surely  tavight,  whether  it  is  a  fact  or  a  fa- 
ble, that  woman  stands  in  a  peculiarly  close  rela- 
tion to  man.  The  ' '  tree  of  the  knowledge  of  good 
and  evil,"  and  the  "tree  of  hfe,"  were  tests  of 
obedience,  and  as  such  might  have  been  of  any 
kind.  The  serpent  is  described  as  if  it  had  been  a 
special  agent — perhaps  one  of  those  spirits  that  are 
believed  to  be  superior  to  man,  invisible  to  his 
eyes,  good  and  bad,  powerful,  and  always  contend- 
ing for  his  soul  (2  Cor.  ii.  11). 

Woman  was  sentenced  to  endure  the  pains  of 
child-bearing,  and  the  humiliating  dependance  on 
a  husband;  and  man  to  labor,  with  or  without  re- 
ward, and  both  to  be  subject  to  death  (spiritual?). 
The  sentence  of  the  serpent  is  hard  to  interpret. 
The  serpent  is  not  cursed  literally,  but  rather 
blessed  in  having  an  extra  means  of  protection  in 
the  dread  of  all  other  animals;  he  does  not  suffer 
by  crawling  on  his  belly  because  he  is  especially 
made  to  go  in  that  way;  and  he  does  not  eat  dust. 
The  denunciation  of  the  serpent  was  symbolical, 
and  is  by  some  said  to  be  the  first  gospel  promise. 
"I  will  put  enmity  between  thee  and  the  woman, 
and  between  thy  seed  and  her  seed;  he  will  attack 
thee  on  the  head,  and  thou  wilt  attack  him  at 
the  heel."  The  serpent  was  the  spirit  of  lying 
and  cruelty,  as  opposed  to  God,  holy,  good  and  wise. 
It  is  probable  that  the  first  garments  were  made 
of  the  skins  of  animals,  offered  in  sacrifice. 

Cain  was  born  the  year  after  the  expulsion;  Abel 
a  few  years  later,  and  Seth  at  least  130  years  after 
Cain.  Other  sons  and  daughters  were  born  to 
them  of  whose  history  nothing  is  recorded.

ADUMMIM 


ADO'NAI  {Lord,  Master).  Hebrew  word  for 
Lord,  God,  and  Lord  of  Hosts. 

The  Hebrews  did  not  pronounce  the  sacred  name 
J.  A.  H.  which  we  now  call  Jehovah,  and  its  true 
pronounciation  is  supposed  to  be  lost ;  instead  of 
doing  so,  they  said  ADOJSTAI  when  j.  a.  h.  oc- 
curred in  the  text. 

Ado  NI-BE'-ZEK  {lord  of  Bezek) .  Canaanite  king 
of  Bezek,  17  miles  E.  of  Shechem.  He  was  head 
of  the  Canaanite  and  Perizzite  bands,  and  was

Jerusalem,  B.C.  1449  (Judg.  i.). 

ADONi'JAH  (my  lord  is  Jehovah).  Fourth  son  of 
David,  born  of  Haggith  at  Hebron  (2  Sam.  ill.). 
After  the  death  of  Amnon  and  Absalom  he  made 

Sretensions  to  the  throne  of  David,  supported  by 
oab  and  Abiathar,the  high  priest;  but  David  caused 
Solomon  to  be  proclaimed  and  crowned,  and  in- 
vested with  authority.  Adonijah  was  pardoned  ; 
but  after  David's  death  he  renewed  his  attempt  on 
the  throne  and  was  executed  by  Solomon's  order 
(1  K.). 

ADONI'KAM  (lord,  high).  Adoram.  Chief  of 
the  tribute  receivers  in  the  reigns  of  David,  Solo- 
mon and  Rehoboam.  He  became  hateful  to  the 
people  and  was  stoned  to  death  (IK.), 

ADONIZE'DEK  (lord  of  justice).  King  of  Jeru- 
salem when  Joshua  entered  Canaan.  He  joined 
with  four  Amorite  kings  to  punish  the  Gibeonites 
for  their  league  with  Joshua.  Being  beaten  by 
Joshua,  they  fled  to  a  cave  in  Makkedah,  where 
they  were  taken;  had  their  necks  trod  upon  as  a 
sign  of  subjection,  and  were  killed  and  buried  in 
the  cave  (Josh.  x.). 

ADOP'TION.  Placing  as  a  son  one  who  is  not  so 
by  birth.  Never  done  by  the  Hebrews.  Paul  al- 
luded to  the  Roman  custom  (Gal.  iv.),  where  the 
law  gave  the  adopted  son  equal  rights  with  a  real 
son.  Abraham  did  not  adopt  Hagar's  son,  nor 
Jacob  the  sons  of  the  maids  of  Leah  and  Rachel, 
nor  the  sons  of  Joseph;  Moses  was  not  adojited  by 
Pharaoh's  daughter  according  to  law,  but  as  an 
exception. 

ADORA'-IM.  Shepela.  Built  by  Rehoboam  (2 
Chr.  xi.).  Dura,  a  large  village  6  ms.  S.  W.  of 
Hebron,  marks  the  site. 

ADORA'TION.  The  acts  and  postures  in  worship 
are  similar  in  all  Oriental  nations,  and  have  come 
down  to  the  present  from  remote  antiquity  un- 
^  changed.    It  is  believed 

tliat  the  Hebrews  in  all 
I  their  prayers  used  all  the 
I  forms  of  posture  and 
prostration  that  the  mo- 
dern Arabs  have  grouped 
into  one  prayer,  which 
are  nine  positions.  All 
of  these  are  found  on 
the  monuments  of  Egypt 
and  Assyria.  Prayer  is 
made  standing,  with  the 
hands  lifted  or  crossed 
or  folded;  this  is  the  pos- 
ture before  kings  or  great 
men.  The  hands  are 
also  stretched  forth  as 
in  supplication;  one 
hand  only  is  lifted  in 
taking  an  oath  (Gen. 
_^  xiv. ) .  Kneeling  is  a  com- 
PB„.s,i,  mon  mode  (IK.  vii. ; Ezra 

ix. ;  Dan.  vi. ;  Luke  xxii. ) ; 
prostration  of  the  body,  resting  on  the  knees  and 
arms,  the  forehead  touching  the  ground,  and  the 
whole  body  lying  along,  the  face  being  down.  The 
monuments  show  figures  kneeling  on  one  knee  and 
smiting  the  breast;  sitting  on  the  heels,  the  hands 
being  folded,  is  a  very  respectful  attitude  (1  Chr. 
xvii.  16;    1  K.  xviii.  42).    Among   the  Romans 


prostration  was  the  peculiar  act  of  adoration  and 
worship  (Acts  x.  26),  but  Orientals  do  so  in  respect 
or  reverence  only.    Kissing  the  head  (1  Sam.  x.),

the  hand,  the  hem  of  the  garment,  or  the  earth 
near  tlie  object  of  respect,  and  kissing  one's  own 
hand  (Job  xxxi.  27;  Hosea  xiii.  2),  to  persons  or 
idols.  Holding  the  hand  on  the  moutli  as  in  kiss- 
ing it  is  the  highest  act  of  respect  and  adoration. 

A-DRAM'-M£-LECH  (fire  king).  An  idol  wor- 
shiped by  the  colonists  from  Assyria  in  Samaria 
(2  Kings  xvii.  31),  by  sacrificing  children  by  fire. 
The  idol  represented  the  male  power  of  the  sun- 
god,  Anammelech,  the  female. 

AD-RA-MYT'-TIUM  (named  after  Adramys,  bro- 
ther of  Croesus,  king  of  Lydia).  Seaport  in  Asia 
Minor,  where  the  ship  belonged  in  which  Paul  was 
wrecked.  The  gulf  of  the  same  name  was  opposite 
the  islandof  Lesbos.  Pop.  1500,with  some  commerce. 

A'-DRlA.  A'DRIAS.  Sea  named  from  Adria  on 
the  Po,  Italy.  At  first  the  name  was  given  to  the 
upper  end  of  the  Gulf  of  Venice;  afterwards  to  the 
whole  gulf;  and  in  Paul's  time  to  the  Mediterra- 
nean as  bounded  by  Sicily,  Italy,  Greece  and  Africa 
(Acts  xxvii.  27). 

AD'-Rt-EL  (Ood's  flock).  Son  of  Barzillai,  to 
whom  Saul  gave  his  daughter  Merab,  who  had  been 
promised  to  David  (1  Sam.  xvii.  19). 

A-DTJL'-LAM  (people's  justice).  Judah,  in  the 
Shefela  (Josh.  xvi.  35).  A  place  of  great  antiquity. 
Fortified  by  Rehoboam. 

The  Cave  op  Adullam  is  located  6  miles  N.  of 
Beit  Jibrin,  and  now  called  Deir  Dubban.  There 
are  many  caves  in  this  region.  Some  think  the 
cave  must  have  been  nearer  the  Dead  Sea,  among 
the  mountains,  6  miles  S.  W.  of  Bethlehem,  in 
Wady  KMireitun. 

A-DPL'-TERY.  Crime  of  a  married  woman  with 
a  man  not  her  husband.  Or  of  either  man  or  wo- 
man who  is  bound,  with  any  other  person  not  their 
mate.  Orientals  do  not  include  the  man  in  the 
condemnation.  Adultery  in  the  O.  T.  means 
symbolically  idolatry  and  apostasy  from  the  He- 
brew church.  In  the  N.  T.  "an  adulterous  gene- 
ration" (Matt.  xii. 
39),  means  a  faith- 
less and  impious 
generation  —  wh  o 
did  not  worship  the 
true  God,  but  did 
worship  false  gods. 

ADUM'MIM  (red 
pass).  Ben  J. — 
(Josh.  XV.  7).  On 
the  road  from  Jeri- 
cho to  Jerusalem, 
in  Wady  Kelt.  It 
was  always  noted  for  robbers,  and  was  therefore 
selected  for  the  locality  of  the  parable  of  the  Good 
Samaritan.  (Luke  x.)"  Eight  miles  E.  of  Jerusalem 
there  are  ruins  of  a  convent  and  a  khan,  on  oppo- 
site sides  of  the  road.

ADVENT 

Ad '-VENT,  THE  SECOND.  The  second  coming 
of  Jesus  Christ,  often  foretold  by  Jesus,  and  fre- 
quently mentioned  by  the  apostles.  This  event 
has  been  looked  for  and  expected  in  every  age  and 
every  year  since  the  ascension>  Some  liold  that 
Christ  reigns  now,  at  the  right  hand  of  the  Father, 
and  must  reign  until  all  enemies  are  put  under  his 
feet.  They  hold  that  the  judgment  is  now  going 
on;  the  wicked  are  passing  away;  and  that  men 
become  consciously  the  subjects  of  this  judgment 
as  they  pass  into  the  invisible  world. 

AD'VOCATE  (&ret*  Paraclete).  The  name  given 
to  the  Holv  Spirit  by  Jesus  (John  xiv.  16) ;  and  to 
Jesus  by  John  (1  John  ii.). 

iE'NEAS.  A  paralytic  healed  by  Peter  (Acts  ix. 
33),  at  Lydda. 

.ZE'NOn.  Enon.  (Springs).  Near  Salim,  where 
John  baptized  (John  iii.  22).  Six  miles  S.  of 
Bethshan,  at  Tell  Redgah.  A  tomb  near  is  called 
Shekh  Salim.  The  brook  in  Wndy  Chmneh  runs 
near,  and  many  rivulets  wind  about  in  all  direc- 
tions.    Here  is  "much  water." 

AG'ABUS  (^(JCttsO-  One  of  the  70  disciples.  Two 
prophesies  of  his  are  recorded,  and  their  fulfilment 
(Acts  xi.  27-30;  xxi.  10).  The  famine  through 
"all  the  world"  was  only  through  the  world  in 
Palestine— the  Jews'  world.  It  is  mentioned  by 
Josephus  (xx.  2,  5),  about  A.  D.  42,  14  years  after 
Agabus  met  Paul  at  Cjesarea,  and  warned  him 
of  his  sufferings  at  Jerusalem  if  he  went  up  there.

every  one  is  required  to  sing  something  in  the 
praise  of  God,  either  from  the  Scriptures  or  from 
his  own  thoughts.  By  this  means,  if  any  one  has 
indulged  in  excess,  he  is  dete(!ted.  The  feast  is 
closed  with  prayer."  Pliny  mentions  this  custom 
of  the  Christians,  and  says  they  eat  common  food 
(not  such  as  was  used  for  idol  worship).  Paul 
speaks  of  the  abuse  of  this  custom  in  1  Cor.  xi.  21: 
and,  perhaps  to  avoid  such  abuse,  the  Eucharist 
was  celebrated  apart  from  any  meal  from  about 
the  year  A.  D.  150.

A'GAG  (burn).  A  title  of  the  king  of  the  Amale- 
kites,  like  Pharaoh  of  the  Egyptians,  Caesar  of  the 
Romans,  and  Abimelech  of  the  Philistines  (Num. 
xxi  v.  7;  1  Sam.  xv.  8).  Agagite  for  Amalekite 
in  Esther  iii.  1,  10;  viii.  3,  5. 

AG'A-PE  (Gr.  agapce,  to  love).  The  Church  per- 
petuated the  commemoration  of  the  death  of  .Jesus 
by  certain  symbols  at  meals;  a  custom  most  beauti- 
ful and  most  beneficial;  for  it  w^as  a  supporter  of 
love,  a  solace  of  poverty,  a  moderator  of  wealth, 
and  a  discipline  of  humility.  Tertullian,  speaking 
of  the  Agape  does  not  mention  the  Eucharist  as 
distinct  from  the  meal.  "  The  nature  of  our  sup- 
per may  be  gathered  from  its  name,  the  Greek 
term  for  love.  However  much  it  may  cost  us,  it  is 
real  gain  to  incur  such  expense  in  the  cause  of 
piety;  for  we  aid  the  poor  by  this  refreshment;  we 
do  not  sit  down  to  it  till  we  have  first  tasted  of 
prayer  to  God;  we  eat  to  satisfy  our  hunger;  we 
drink  no  more  than  benefits  the  temperate;  we 
feast  as  those  who  recollect  they  are  to  spend  the 
night  in  devotion;  we  converse  as  those  who  know 
that  the  Lord  is  an  ear-witness.  After  water  for 
washing  hands,  and  lights  have  been  brought  in.

AGE.  Old  age.  Peculiar  respect  to  old  age  is  a 
general  custom  in  the  Orient,  and  has  been  from 
most  remote  times.  The  Scriptures  record  many 
instances  of  such  respect  and  honor.  The  young 
rose  and  stood  up  in  their  presence  (Lev.  xix.  32) ; 
and  even  old  men  before  one  especially  honored 
(Job  xxix.  8).  They  were  privileged  to  give  the 
first  words  of  counsel  (Job  xxxii.;  Eccl.  xxxii.); 
and  old  men,  eldeps,  became  a  class,  such  as  the 
FATHERS,  and  SENATORS  in  Rome,  and  were  re- 
garded as  the  depositaries  of  knowledge  and  expe- 
rience (Job  XV.).  The  attainment  of  old  age  was 
set  forth  as  a  blessing  (Gen.  xv.;  Job  v.),  in  pro- 
longing the  enjoyment  of  life,  and  a  sign  of  peace- 
ful times  (Zech.  viii.;  Is.  Ixv.);  a  reward  for  piety, 
and  a  token  of  God's  favor.  Of  all  marks  of  re- 
spect, that  to  age  is  most  willingly  paid;  because 
we  may  ourselves  become  aged,  and  receive  such 
homage.

dry  and  sterile — although  the  rains  of  Canaan  dis- 
tinguished the  country  from  the  rainless  Nile  val-

climate.  Perpetual  snow  on  Mt.  Hermon  and  Mt. 
Lebanon;  at  Jericho,  60  or  80  miles  distant,  tliere  is 
tropical  heat,  and  snow  is  never  seen.  The  hiUs  of 
Bashan,  Gilead,  Galilee,  Samaria,  and  Judea  are 
the  homes  of  forests,  vines,  fig-trees,  and  all  kinds 
of  fruit  trees  and  vegetables;  the  plains  produce 
bananas,  oranges,  lemons,  besides  aU  these,  and 
frost  is  almost  uukno\\Ti.  Palms  formerly  grew  aU 
over  the  country,  as  far  north  as  Beirut  and  Baal- 
bek. The  greatest  heat  at  Jerusalem  is  90°  (Fah. ) , 
and  the  cold  30°.  Damascus  is  in  a  cooler  lati- 
tude, and  the  record  is  88°  and  29°,  The  sky  is

by  trees  or  piles  of  stones  (Job  xxiv.;  Deut.  xix.

watching  and  defense. 

The  monuments  bear  the  sculptured  figures  of 
many  implements,  and  pictures  of  the  modes  of 
using  them  in  field  and  garden  work.  The  plow 
is  a  kind  of  heavy  hoe,  used  in  the  hand  or  drawn 
by  animals  or  men  (Job  i.  14).  It  was  made  of  a 
crooked  root,  shod  with  iron  and  fitted  with  one  or 
two  handles.  The  yoke  was  a  straight  or  bent  stick 
with  rope  or  bent  bows.  The  ox-goad  was  a  pole 
six  or  eight  feet,  sharp  at  one  end,  and  fitted  with 
a  spade  at  the  other  for  clearing  the  plow,  or  for 
breaking  clods  (Is.  xxviii.  24;  Hosea  x.  11;  Job. 
xxxix.  10,  where  "harrow  the  A^alleys"  should  be 
"break  the  clods,"  as  in  the  Hebrew).  Seed  was

frozen  in  winter,  snow  lying  during  the  niglit

is  ever  seen,  but  there  is  on  the  hiUs  around  a

mode  of  sowing  during  the  inundation,  or  by  irri- 
gation, in  Egypt  by  using  the  foot  (to  open  or  stop 
the  little  rills  of  water).  Reaping  was  of  several 
modes:  pulling  up  by  the  roots  (as  barley  and 
doora  are  now  in  Egypt) ;  and  as  wheat  and  barley 
do  not  grow  very  high  (20  to  30  inches),  it  is  pulled

of  the  ark  in  the  latter  day  of  Saul's  reign.  Saul's 
rash  curse,  Jonathan's  danger,  the  failure  to  get 
an  answer  from  the  oracle,  the  peoples'  rescue  of 
Jonathan,  led  to  coolness  between  the  king  and 
the  high  priest,  which  ended  in  a  terrible  revenge, 
after  Ahimelech's  favor  to  David.  Ahimelech

substance— wood,  glass,  stone,  metal— were  also 
called  alabasters  (Matt.  xxvi.  7;  Mark  xiv.  3;  Luke 
vii.  ;57). 

ALEXAN'DEB  (men  helper).  King  of  Macedon. 
Called  the  Groat.  Born  at  IVlla  B.  C.  356,  son  of 
Philip  and  Olynipias.  Educated  by  the  famous 
philosopher  Aristotle,  Alluded  to  in  Daniel's  pro- 
phesy. He  destroyed  the  Persian  empire  and 
placed  Greeks  in  power  there;  conquered  Asia, 


332,  by  the  help  of  the  same  architect  who  rebuilt 
the  Temple  of  Diana,  at  Ephesus.  For  centuries 
this  was  the  largest  city  in  the  world.  Pop.  000,000 
(Diodorus).  liie  lighthouse  of  its  spacious  port 
was  famous  in  the  world  of  commerce  as  the 
Phakos,  one  of  the  7  wonders.  The  great  library 
is  said  to  have  had  700,000  volumes  (Strabo),  even 
after  losing  400,000  by  fire  (B.C.  47),  and  was 
finally  destroyed   by  the   Saracens,  A.   D.    642. 


ALEXANDRIA. 


Egj'pt,  Syria,  and  founded  the  city  of  Alexan- 
dria (B.C.  332),  which  may  be  said  to  have  been 
built  on  the  ruins  of  Sidon  and  Tyre,  for  it  grew 
rich  and  powerful  on  the  Oriental  trade  which  for- 
merly fed  those  cities,  and  was  then  diverted  from 
the  Euphrates  to  the  Red  Sea  route.  Alexander's 
toleration  of  Oriental  customs  and  religions,  guar- 
anteeing to  all  people  (and  especially  the  Jews, 
who  were  exempted  from  tax  on  the  7tn  year, )  the 
free  observance  of  their  hereditary  laws,  showing 
the  same  respect  to  their  gods  as  to  the  gods  of 
Greece,  thus  combining  and  equalizing  the  West 
and  the  East,  weakened  all  the  nationalities  of  his 
empire,  and  tended  to  dissolve  the  old  religions. 
The  Greek  and  Hebrew  learning  of  Alexandria 
greatly  influenced  the  planting  of  Christianity 
there,  as  well  as  in  Asia.  He  married  Roxana  and 
Parysatis,  Eastern  princesses,  an  example  followed 
by  80  generals  and  10,000  soldiers  of  his  army,  who 
married  Oriental  wives.     Josephus  gives  an  ac-

'"ount  of  a  visit  of  Alexander  to  Jerusalem,  and  his 
veception  by  the  high  priest,  which  has  been  called 
I'abulous  (Ant.  xi.  8).  He  died  at  Babylon  B.  C. 
323,  only  32  years  old,  of  intemperance. 

ALEXAN'DER  BALAs.  a  pretended  son  of  An- 
tiochus  EjMphanes.  He  reigned  four  years  over 
Syria  (1  Mace.  x.  11;  Jos.  Ant.  xiii.  2). 

AlEXAN'DER  JANN.EUS.  The  first  prince  of 
the  Maccabees,  who  called  himself  king. 

ALEXAN'DER.  Four  persons  so  named  in  the 
Gospels.— 1.  Son  of  Simon  the  CjTenean,  who  bore 
the  cross  part  of  the  way  (Mark  xv.).— 2.  A  pow- 
erful opponent  of  the  apostles,  related  to  the  high 
priest  (Acts  iv.  6).— 3.  Son  of  Herod  the  Great 
and  Marianne.— 4.  A  Jew  of  Ephesus,  who  took 

fart  in  the  uproar  in  the  temple  of  Diana,  against 
aul.— 5.  A  coppersmith,  excommunicated  by  Paul 
for  errors. 

ALEXAN'DEIA  Greek,  Roman,  and  Christian 
capital  of  Egypt,  founded  by  Alexander,  B.  C. 


Among  the  learned  men  were  Philo,  a  Jew  (author 
of  works  which  contain  the  best  array  of  Hebrew 
Platonism— almost  an  imitation  of  Christian  ethics) , 
and  Origen  and  Clement,  Christians,  whose  writ- 
ings have  influenced  and  directed  religious  men  in 
all  Christian  nations  to  the  present.  Ptolemy  Pliil- 
adeljihus  favored  the  translation  from  Hebrew 
into  Greek  of  the  Holy  Scriptures  (Old  Testament), 
and  the  work  was  called  the  Septxjagint,  finished 
about  B.  C.  280.  It  is  now  the  oldest  known  ver- 
sion, and  is  called  the  Codex  Alexandrinus  (Jos. 
c;  Apion  ii.  4).    See  Writing. 

The  Museum  wa,s  the  means  of  spreading  a 
knowledge  of  Aristotle  through  the  civilized  world, 
and  at  one  time  it  gathered  14,000  students  from  all 
the  world.  Modern  astronomy  arose  there,  under 
the  direction  of  Eratosthenes,  who  taught  the  globe 
shape  of  the  earth,  its  poles,  axis,  equator,  arctic  cir- 
cles, equinoctial  points,  solstices,  horizon,  eclipses, 
and  the  distance  of  the  sun.  Callimachus  (poet) 
wrote  a  treatise  on  birds;  Apollonius  one  on 
mathematics  and  geometry,  and  invented  a 
clock.  Hipparchus  w^as  the  great  astronomer 
of  the  age,  and  discovered  the' precession  of  the 
equinoxes,  gave  methods  of  solving  all  trian- 
gles, and  constructed  tables  of  chords,  tables  of 
latitude  and  longitude,  and  a  map  of  more 
than  1000  stars.  "The  Almagest  of  Ptolemy 
(A.  D.  138),  was  for  1500  years  the  highest 
authority  on  the  phenomena  and  mechanism 
of  the  universe.  The  same  author  described 
the  world  from  the  Canaries  to  China. 

These  systems  were  supplanted  by  the  dis- 
coveries of  Newton  of  the  law  of  gravitation, 
and  of  Columbus  of  the  New  World.  There 
was  a  veiT  extensive  botanical  and  zoological 
garden,  and  a  school  for  the  study  of  Anatomy 
and  dissection.  The  temples  of  Isis  and  Sarepis 
were  among  the  finest  ever  built,  and  were  partly

AMATHEIS 


AL'LON  {oak?).  Elon.  Naplitali  (Josh.  xix. 
33).  Zaananim,  loading  tents,  near  Kedesh  (Judg. 
iv.  11).— 2.  Allon-bac'huth  {oak  of  weejmu/), 
under  which  Kebekah's  nurse,  Deborah,  was  buried 
(Gen.  XXXV.  8).  Pahu  tree  of  Deborah  in  Judg. 
iv.  5,  between  Kamah  and  Bethel. 

AL'MOND.  Nut  tree,  larger  than  a  peach  tree; 
thrives  from  China  to  Spain,  and  on  both  sides  of 
the  Mediterranean,  and  nowhere  better  than  in 
Syria.  It  is  tlie  earliest  to  blossom  in  spring  (Feb- 
ruary), the  pink- white  blossoms  appearing  some 
weeks  before  the  leaves. 


ALMOND  TREE   AND   BLOSSOMS. 


ALMS.  The  Hebrews  had  no  word  for  a  free 
gift  to  the  poor,  such  as  alms,  but  used  righteous- 
ness for  such  acts,  as  in  Job  xxix.  10-16;  Prov.  x.  2; 
Dent.  xiv.  29;  xxiii.  24,  25;  xxiv.  19;  xxvi.  12;  Lev. 
xix.  9,  10;  xxiii.  22;  xxv.  5.  The  laws  of  Moses 
made  ample  provision  against  poverty,  and  if  they 
had  been  strictly  kept,  in  letter  and  spirit,  there 
could  not  have  been  any  destitution.  The  gospel 
recognizes  the  duty  of  alms-giving  and  enforces  it, 
and  this  virtue  was  a  peculiar  mark  of  a  Christian 
in  the  early  age.  This  was  not  made  a  definite 
rule,  but  was  left  to  the  constraint  of  inward  prin- 
ciple and  feeling,  "to  prove  the  sincerity  of  their 
love."  Encouragement  of  idle  vagrancy  was  de- 
nounced as  wrong,  and  such  idlers  were  scorned 
(2  Thess.  iii.  10-12).  The  Jews,  since  the  destruc- 
tion of  Jerusalem,  have  regarded  their  poor  as  the 
people  of  God,  and  those  who  give  to  them  are 
credited  with  as  much  virtue  as  if  they  kept  all  the 
commandments,  and  they  teach  that  alms-giving 
atones  for  their  sins.  As  Jesus  sought  the  needy 
and  the  sick,  and  kindly  ministered  help  and  con- 
solation, so  it  is  his  will  that  his  Church  shall  show 
the  same  spirit  toward^  the  poor  and  afflicted. 

AL'MTJG.  Algum.  Fragrant  sandal- wood,  white 
and  yellow,  found  in  the  mountains  of  Malabar. 
The  trees  are  9  to  12  inches  through,  25  to  30  feet 
high.  Its  uses  were  for  perfume,  incense,  beads, 
rosaries,  fans,  elegant  boxes,  and  cabinets,  and  for 
musical  instruments.  Solomon  used  it  for  pillars 
in  the  houses  he  built,  and  for  musical  instruments 
(IK.  x.  12;2Chr.  ix.  10). 

AL'NATHAN.  Elnathan  (1  Esd.  viii.  44;  Ezr. 
Viii.  16).

AL'TAE.  The  centr.il  point  of  reiIj:';ious  worship, 
as  a  mount,  table  or  structure  of  turf,  wood,  stone 
or  metal,  on  which  sacrifice  wa^'  made  to  some 


j  deity.  The  first  one  mentioned  in  the  Bible  is  that 
I  built  by  Noah.  Moses  restricted  the  building  of 
'  altars  to  those  for  the  temple  service  only;  but  the 
law  was  often  broken  (Lev.  xvii.;  Deut.  xii.;  Judg. 
vi.;  1  Sam.  vii.;  2  Sam.  xxiv.;  1  K.  iii.).  Moses 
directed  two  kinds  to  be  made :  1.  Altae  op 
Burnt-offering,  the  table  of  the  Lord  (Ex.  xxvii. 
8),  having  horns  to  which  the  animal  to  be  sacri- 
ficed might  be  bound  (Ps.  cviii.  27);  and  a  ledge 
half  way  up,  on  which  the  priests  could  stand, 
wliich  was  fenced  below  with  a  net  work  of  metal ; 
— 2.  Altar  of  Incense,  the  golden  altar,  Ex. 
xxxix.  .38,  (the  other  being  the  brazen)  (Ex.  xxxviii. 
30).  This  was  not  strictly  an  altar,  as  no  sacrifice 
was  offered  on  it.  Both  had  rings  for  carrying  by 
poles.

AmAL'EEITES.  An  ancient  nomadic  race,  found 
from  Petrfea  to  the  Persian  Gulf,  and  may  have 
been  descendants  of  the  grandson  of  Esau.  The 
mention  of  this  country  in  Gen.  xiv.  7,  does  not 
imply  that  they  were  a  people  at  that  early  time,' 
but  that  they  were  a  people  in  that  country  when 
the  history  was  written.  They  were  doomed  to 
extinction  because  they  opposed  the  Hebrews;  and 
they  were  fewer  and  weaker  from  age  to  age  up 
to  the  last  mention  in  David's  time  (1  Sam.  xxvii.; 
xxx.  17),  who  destoyed  their  remnant.

9),  yet  they  were  hated  and  warred  with  always. 
They  worsliipped  Moloch,  also  called  Milcom,  and 
Malcham.  Saul  was  made  king  (the  second  time) 
on  account  of  his  relief  of  Jabesh  from  the  Amale- 
kites  (1  Sam.  xi.).  Women  of  this  people  were  in

A'MON  {multitude) . 
Egyptian  deity.  The 
name  is  translated  gen- 
erally in  the  O.  T.,  which 
confuses  the  meaning. 
In  Jer.  xlvi.  25  "multi- 
tude of  No"  should  be 
"Amon  of  No."  And 
in  Nahum  iii.  8  "popu- 
lous No"  means  No- 
Am  on.  The  Greeks 
called  this  god  Jupiter 
Amnion.  On  the  monu- 
ments the  name  is  Amun- 
re — Amon  the  son.  He

and  Hosea.  Native  of  Tekoa,  and  was  a  dresser  ol 
sycamore  (fig)  trees.  He  prophesied  at  Bethel.

life.  B.  C.  780.  See  History.

xxi.  5).  It  was  also  the  religious  curse  of  the  He- 
brews. It  means  also  devoted— awv  person  or  thing 
devoted  to  God.  Paul  means  devoted  where  he 
says  accursed,  in  Rom.  ix.  3.  Those  Jews  devoted 
themselves  to  the  work  of  killing  Paul  (Acts  xxiii. 
12).  Anathcmia  maranatha  (the  Lord  comes), 
means  that  the  curse  (as  well  as  a  blessing)  has  its 
operation  in  Christ's  kingdom,  and  rises  to  its 
highest  power  at  his  comfng,  and  he  will  surely 
come  to  bless  as  well  as  to  curse  (1  Cor.  xvi.  22). 
It  was  used  as  the  church  censure,  or  final  excom-

JEWISH   illCill   I'ltlKST. 


ANDREW  (stro7ig  man).  Brother  of  Peter,  and 
native  of  Bethsaida  in  Galilee  (John  i.  44).  He 
was  first  a  disciple  of  John  the  Baptist,  but  fol- 
lowed Jesus  on  John's  testimony,and  informed  his 
brother  Peter  of  what  he  had  found— that  Jesus  was 
the  Christ  (verses  35,  36,  41).  He  did  not  leave 
his  business  of  fishing  until  some  time  after  (Mark 
i.  14).  He  was  present  at  the  feeding  of  the  5000 
at  Jerusalem,  when  the  Greek  Jews  wished  to  see 
Jesus  (John  vi.  8);  and,  with  others,  on  Olivet, 
asked  privately  of  Jesus  what  he  meant  by  his 
strange  words  about  destroying  and  rebuilding  the 
temple.  Of  his  after-life  and  cleath  nothing  is  re- 
corded. Tradition  saj^s  he  preached  in  Scythia,  or 
Achaia,  and  was  crucified  on  a  cross,  now  called 
St.  Andrew's,  which  is  of  a  peculiar  shape,  and 
still  bears  his  name.  The  early  writers  mention 
the  "Acts  of  Andrew,"  and  the  "Gospel  of  St.  An- 
drew," but  they  were  rejected,  and  are  lost.

Lord's  an^el  (i.  13),  as  was  John  the  Baptist  by 
Malachi  (iii.  1) .  Israel  was  God's  angel,  sent  to  en- 
lighten the  world  (Is.  xlii.  19),  as  well  as  the  priests 
(Mai.  ii.  7),  meaning  the  priests  as  a  body.  Jesus 
spoke  of  angels  of  God,  who  were  neither  married 
nor  given  in  marriage,  but  were  spirits,  not  in  the 
flesh,  but  above,  more  free,  more  powerful,  more 
wise  (Matt.  xxii.  30;  xxvi.  53;  Gen.  xvi.  7;  Heb. 
xii.  22).  There  are  angels  of  hght  (of  heaven), 
and  angels  of  darkness,  "that  kept  not  their  first 
estate."  Isaiah  speaks  of  the  angel  of  the  presence 
(Ixiii.  9),  and  Moses  of  the  angei  that  went  before 
Israel  (Ex.  xxiii.  21),  who  has  the  whole  world 
as  his  heritage  (Rev.  viii.  3),  and  who  is  believed 
to  be  the  Lord  Jesus,  whom  the  Father  sent  to  re- 
veal Him  to  men. 

ANK'LET.  Ornament  of  gold,  silver,  brass  iron 
or  glass,  for  the  ankles,  worn  in  ancient  and  mod- 
ern days  in  the  East  by  women.  Isaiah  (iii.  16) 
says  they  made  a  tinkling  with  the  feet;  that  is,  the 
women  tinkled  them  together  when  they  walked 
in  a  mincing  way.  A  string  of  httle  bells  is  worn 
by  some  Arab  girls. 

AN'NA  Prophetess  of  the  tribe  of  Asher, 
daughter  of  Phanuel.  She  was  84  when  in  the 
temple,  as  mentioned  by  Luke  (ii.  36),  she  recog- 
nized the  Messiah. 

AN'NAS.    High  priest  for  15  years  (appointed 


the  same  office,  and  then  his  son-in-law;  and  in  all 
these  changes  he  had  exercised  the  highest  judicial 
authority.  He  might  have  been  a  member  of  the 
Sanhedrm,  and  possibly  was  its  president  or  vice- 
president. 

ANNTJN'CIATION.  This  word  means  the  an- 
nouncement of  the  selection  of  the  Virgin  Mary 
as  the  favored  mother  of  Jesus.  About  the  year 
800  the  church  decreed  (council  of  Trullo)  a  day 
for  celebrating  the  event. 

ANNtJ'TJS.  Error  in  1  Esd.  viii.  48;  "with  him" 
in  A.  V.  Ezra  viii.  19. 

ANOINT.  Anointing.  Use  of  oil  on  the  head  or 
any  olijcct  to  be  honored.  Jacob  poured  oil  on  his 
stone  pillow  at  Bethel,  consecrating  it  to  God. 


ANOINTING. 


Guests  were  honored  by  having  their  hair  oiled. 
The  monuments  have  pictures  of  the  act.  It  was 
a  common  custom  among  the  Hebrews,  and  is  often 
referred  to  in  the  O.  T.  (Ps.  xxiii.  5;  xlv.  7;  Prov. 
xxi.   7;   xxvii.  9).    To  omit  the  use  of  this  per-

fumed  oil  was  a  sign  of  grief  and  mourning 
(Dan.  X.  3;  Is.  Ixi.  3).  It  was  also  used  as  a  medi- 
cine (Is.  i.  6;  Mark  vi.  13;  James  v.  14).  Kings 
were  called  "the  anointed  of  the  gods,"  and  both 
kings  and  priests  were  confirmed  m  their  office  by 
the  anointing  of  oil,  both  in  Egypt  and  Palestine. 
Anointing  the  eyes  denoted  a  spiritual  recovery  of 
sight— knowledge  of  divine  truth.  The  Holy  Spirit

The  bodies  of  the  dead  were  also  anointed,  or 
embalmed,  with  spiced  oil.    See  Perfumes. 

A'NOS.    Son  of  Bani  (1  Esd^  ix.  34).     Vaniah. 

Ant.  The  Hebrew  word  for  this  insect  was 
namal,  cut  off  (Gen.  xvii.  11).  The  males  and  fe- 
males have  four  wings,  which  soon  fall  off.  The 
workers  are  wingless.  They  feed  on  vegetables, 
animals  and  insects.  They  will  rob  a  granary  in  a 
few  days,  or  even  hours.  Solomon  alluded  to  the 
ant  as  an  instance  of  the  iise  of  proper  seasons  for 
collecting  provisions  (Prov.  vi.  6). 

ANTI'AM  {sighing  of  the  people).  Son  of  Shemi- 
dah,  Manasseh  (1  Chr.  vii.  19). 

AN'TI-CKRIST  {against  Christ).  Unbelievers, 
heretics,  and  persecutors  (1  John  ii.  18,  22).  Some 
understand  this  term  to  mean  all  men  (or  an  or- 
ganized body),  who  oppose  Christ,  and  whom  he 
will  overcome  or  destroy  (Eev.  xi.  13,  17). 

AN'TIOCH  in  Syria.  On  the  Orontes,  30  miles 
from  the  sea,  300  from  Jerusalem.  Founded  by 
Seleucus  Nicator  (conqueror),  B.  C.  300,  and  named 
in  honor  of  his  father,  Antiochus.  It  was  the  capi- 
tal of  the  Greek  and  Roman  governors  of  Syria 
for  nearly  1000  years.  Its  suburb  Daphne  was  fa- 
mous for  its  sanctuary  to  Apollo  and  Diana  (2  Mace. 
iv.  33) ;  the  sacred  grove  extending  its  cool  shades 
and  brooks  of  water  for  ten  miles  around.  It  was 
a  sensual  paradise,  where  pleasure,  iinder  the  dis- 
guise of  religion,  dissolved  the  firmness  of  manly 
virtue.  The  first  Gentile  church  was  founded 
here  by  Paul,  and  the  disciples  were  here  first 
called  Christians  in  derision  by  the  pagans  (Acts 
xi.  21-26).  Ignatius  who  suffered  martyrdom  un- 
der Trajan,  at  Rome,  was  bishop  of  Antioch  40 
years.  In  the  time  of  Chrysostom  (born  here  A. 
D.  344),  the  pop.  was  200,000,  one  half  being 
Christians.  The  city  had  a  street  colonnade  from 
end  to  end,  built  by  Antiochus  Epiphanes,  and 
paved  with  granite  by  Antoninus  Pius;  most  sump- 
tuous marble  baths,  built  by  Caligula,  Trajan  and 
Hadrian;  a  marble  palace  of  Diocletian,  and  was 
the  finest  and  largest  city  in  Western  Asia.  It 
lost  greatly  in  wealth  and  population  in  several 
eartliquakes:  one  in  A.  D.  526,  destroying  250,000 
people,  at  the  time  of  the  festival  of  the  Ascension, 


when  many  strangers  were  gathered;  and  in  1822 
one-fourth  of  the  city  and  people,  about  5000.  It 
was  of  great  importance  during  the  Crusades,  and 
is  often  mentioned  for  its  sieges,  battles,  and  the 
brilliant  exploits  of  both  Christian  and  Moslem  in 
and  about  its  walls.  Am.  Prot.  missionaries  began 
to  preach  there  in  1856.  Pop.  now  about  20,000. 
Ar.  name  Antakia.  Ruins  of  aqueducts,  marble 
pavements,  columns,  and  other  evidences  of  its 
ancient  splendor  are  often 
found  buried  under  rubbish. 
AN'TIOCH  in  Pisidia. 
Founded  by  the  same  king 
(who  built  10  or  15  others  oi' 
the  same  name),  and  peopled 
them  by  hired  immigrants 
from  Magnesia  on  the  Mee- 
ander.  On  the  S.  side  of  Mt. 
Paroreia,  on  the  boundary 
between  Pisidia  and  Phrygia, 
overlooking  a  broad  plain. 
Recent  discoveries  of  ancient 
inscriptions  prove  the  site  cor- 
rect. There  are  ruins  of  sev- 
eral churches,  temples,  a  thea- 
tre, and  an  aqueduct  of  which 
21  arches  are  now  entire.  The 
ancient  city  was  often  visited 
by  Paul  (Acts),  with  Barna- 
bas, Silas,  and  Tim.othy  who 
was  a  native  of  this  district. 

ANTIOCHIA  (2   Mace.   iv. 
33),  for  Antioch. 
ANTIO'CHIANS.    Partizans  of  A.  Epiphanes,  or 
Jason  (2  Mace.  iv.  9).     "Sinful  men"  in  Doway. 
ANTI'OCHIS.    In  the  family  of  A.  Epiphanes  (2 
Mace.  iv.  30). 

ANTI'OCHUS  {who  lasts  out).  There  are  several 
of  this  family  name.  1.'  Antiochus  II.  Theos 
{the  god) .  Son  of  A.  Soter  {savior. )  He  succeeded 
his  father  B.C.  261.  He  was  the  "king  of  the 
north"  of  Dafliel  (xi.),  who  joined  "the  king  of 
the  south"  (Ptolemy)  by  marrying  his  daughter 
Berenice. — 2.  Antiochus  III,»  the  Great,  suc- 
ceeded his  brother  Seleucus  Keraunus  {thunderer, 
who  was  poisoned  after  ruling  3  years),  and  was 
the  first  really  strong  man  snice  Seleucus,  who 
founded  the  family  and  empri-e  in  Syria.  He  was 
only  15  when  he  began  to  rule,  and  his  great  rival, 
Ptolemy  IV,  Philopator  {father  loving) ,  of  Egypt, 
was  crowned  only  two  years  later.  Ptolemy  began 
his  reign  by  murdering  nearly  all  of  his  relations, 
including  llis  mother  and  father.  Antiochus  did 
no  violence  to  his  friends,  but  planned  how  to  in-

crease  the  wealth  and  power  of  his  people,  and 
passed  his  whole  life  in  war.  One  part  of  his  po- 
licy was  to  put  a  great  trust  in  the  Jews  as  a  peo- 
ple, and  especially  as  soldiers  (Ant.  xii.  3,  4).  At 
one  time  he  moveVl  2000  families  of  Jews  from  Me- 
sopotamia to  Lydia  and  Phrygia  for  garrison  ser- 
vice. He  increased  the  honors  and  privileges  of 
the  Jews  in  Palestine,  when  he  became  master 
there,  and  they  were  very  near  to  the  actual  enjoy- 
ment of  social  and  religious  liberty.  He  is  also 
mentioned  by  Daniel  (xi.  41),  as  one  who  should 
stand  "in  the  glorious  land  which  by  his  hand  was

to  be  consumed."  His  own  danj^jhter,  Cleopatra, 
whom  he  gave  to  Ptolemy  Epiphaues  as  a  wife,  op- 
posed him  in  favor  of  her  husband.  Hannibal  in- 
lluenced  him  to  war  against  Rome,  and  he  was 
beaten  finally  at  Magnesia  in  Lydia,  B.  C.  190. 
He  lost  his  life  B.  C.  187,  in  an  attempt  to  plunder 
the  temple  of  Belus  in  Elymais.— 3.  Antiochtjs 
IV  Epiphanes  (ilhistrmis) ,  youngest  son  of  A. 
the  Great,  succeeded  to  his  brother  Seleucus  Philo- 
pator,  who  reigned  10  years,  chiefly  as  "a raiser  of 
taxes"  (Dan.  xi.  20).  Epiphanes  gained  the  king- 
dom l)y  llattcrm  (s.  21),  that  is,  by  a  system  of  la- 
vish bribery.  These  and  other  acts  caused  the 
Greeks  to  call  him  Epimaues  {crazy),  a  very  sharp 
and  sarcastic  pun  on  his  title.    He  wished  to  pluu-

der  the  Jewish  temple,  because  he  needed  money, 
and  to  do  this  it  was  his  policy  to  make  the  Jews 
hatefid,  and  destroy  their  nationality.  But  he 
raised  up  the  Maccabees  who,  after  many  years  of 
war  and  suffering,  delivered  their  people  (B.  C. 
143),  as  is  recorded  on  the  coins  of  that  period 
(money).  He  was  a  type  of  Antichrist,  so  made 
by  his  want  of  respect  to  God  and  religion,  and  the 
disregard  of  every  higher  feeling  among  men.  He 
worsliiped  the  Roman  wai"-^od,  whose  forts  were 
his  temples. — 4.  Antiochtjs  V  Eupator  {of  noble 
d-escsnt) ,  succeeded  his  father  A.  IV,  B.C.  164, 
while  a  child,  and  was  under  the  guardian  Lysias, 
and  they  were  killed  by  Demetrius' Soter,  when  the 
rule  fell  to  Antiochus  "VI,  son  of  Alexander  Balas 
and  Cleopatra,  who  while  a  child  was  under  the 
care  of  Tryphon,  B.  C.  145,  who  contended  for  the 
throne  against  Demetrius  Nicator.  Tryphon,  by 
treacherj'  and  success  in  war,  gained  supreme 
power,  killed  Antiochus,  and  assumed  the  throne. 
The  coins  bear  his  head  as  Antiochus  and  Trypho, 
and  on  some  the  title  of  Theos  is  added.  The 
books  of  Daniel  and  the  Maccabees  give  a  large 
space  to  the  life  and  deeds  and  bad  character 
of  this  king.— 5.  Antiochus  VII  Sidetes  {from 
Side  in  Pamphylia) .  Called  also  Eusebes  (  pious) . 
This  was  the  last  king  of  the  Seleucid  family,  who 
ruled  B.  C.  141-128.  There  were  some  who  as- 
sumed the  name  Antioch  as  a  title  untU  the 
Romans  made  Syria,  a  province,  B.  C.  63. 

ANTOTHI'JAH  (Jah's  answers).  Son  of  Sha- 
shak  (1  Chr.  viii.  24). 

ANTIPAT'EIS  (against  father).  Built  by  Herod 
the  Great,  on  the  edge  of  Sharon,  now  Refer  Saba, 
12  ms.  N.  E.  of  Joppa.  Capharsaba  in  .Josephus. 
Dr.  Eli  Smith  found  and  identified  the  place  while 
on  a  journey  expressly  to  follow  Paul's  night  march 
from  Jerusalem  to  Csesarea  (Acts  xxiii.  31).  There 
are  remains  of  the  Roman  road,  which  led  by 
Gophna.

Ape.  Brought  by  Solomon's  ships  (1  K.  x.  22) 
from  India  or  Malabar,  where  they  are  now  found, 
called  Kapi  (lleb.  Koph).  They  were  prized  as 
curiosities  then  as  now. 

APEL'LES  (Apollo's  gift).  A  disciple  saluted  by 
Paul  (Rom.  xvi.  10).  Tradition  says  he  was 
bishop  of  Smyrna. 

APHAESACH'ITES.

(Josh.  xix.  30;  Judg.  i.  31).    Aphik.     (Josh.  xiii. 
4).    W.  of  Baalbek  15  ms.,  on  the  E.  slope  of 
Lebanon.    Afka.    A  temple  to  Venus  made  this 
city  famous.— 3.  Where  the  Philistines  en- 
camped before  the  battle  in  which  the  sons 
of  Eli  were  killed  and  the  Ark  was  taken  (1 
Sam.  ix.  1).    In  the  mountains   N.  W.  of 
Jerusalem.— 4.  The  site  of  another  battle, 
where  Saul  was  killed  (1  Sam.  xxix.  1),  near 
Slumem,  or  Jezreel.— 5.  Aphik,  now  called 
Fik,  E.  of  the  sea  of  Galilee  6  ms. ;  the  site 
of  several  battles  with  the  Syrians  (IK.  xx. 
26;  2  K.  xiii.  17).    Ben  Hadad  was  defeated 
here;  and  Joadi  at  the  word  of  Ehsha  drew 
a  bow  at  a  venture,  and  afterwards  gained 
several  battles  over  the  Syrians.    The  houses 
occupy  a  crescent-shaped  cliff,  at  the  base  of 
which  are  three  fine  fountains,  which  send  a 
stream  into  the  lake  below  the  hill  on  which 
Gamala  stood. 
APOCH  RYPHA  (hidden).    The  name  of  a  cer- 
tain  class  of  books,  offered  as  genuine,  but  not  re- 
ceived as  of  divine  origin,  and  of  equal  authority 
with  the  other  books  of  the  Bible.    These  are,  as 
they  stand  in  the  A.  V. : 

1.  Esdras,  1  and  2. 

2.  Tobit. 

3.  Judith. 

4.  Addition  to  Esther. 
6.  Wisdom  of  Solomon. 

6.  Wisdom  of  Jesus,  Son  of  Sirach. 

7.  Baruch,  and  Jeremiah's  Epistle. 

8.  The  Song  of  the  Three  Holy  Children.  - 

9.  The  History  of  Susanna. 

10.  Bel  and  the  Dragon. 

11.  Prayer  of  Manasseh. 

12.  Maccabees,  1  and  2,  and   the  Book  of 

Enoch,  accepted  in  Abyssinia. 


Besides  these  there  are  a  number  that  never  were 
admitted  to  a  position  among  the  Sacred  wTitings, 
such  as,  The  Assumption  of  Moses,  Testament  of 
the  Twelve  Patriarchs,  and  many  others  attributed 
to  Abraham,  Eldad,  Modad,  etc. 

The  original  meaning  of  apochrypha  was  hidden, 
but  it  is  now  used  to  mean  spuriaus. 

The  real  value  of  these  books  is  in  their  being 
specimens  of  Jewish  literature,  and  books  of  their 
hi.story,  throwing  light  on  their  religion  and  theo- 
logical opinions,  although  more  or  less  colored  by 
fancy  or  fable.  They  are  assigned  to  a  period 
dating  since  300  B.C.,  the  latest,  Esdras,  dating 
about  30  B.C.,  or  even  later.  The  books  them- 
selves do  not  assert  the  use  of  the  prophetic  gift,

but  do  say  that  this  gift  had  departed  from  Israel 
(1  Mace.  ix.  27),  but  it  was  hoped  that  prophets 
wovild  again  appear  (iv.  46;  xiv.  41).  The  style 
and  power  of  the  writing  is  inferior,  and  especially 
so  is  the  poetry,  excepting  only  the  Song  of  the 
Three  Children,  which  may  be  the  reproduction  of 
some  ancient  sacred  service.  There  are  many 
blunders  and  anachronisms  in  their  historical  allu- 


sions. The  books  of  the  New  Testament  era  that 
have  been  regarded  as  doubtful  are,  2d  Ep.  of  St. 
Peter;  Ep.  of  St.  James;  Ep.  of  St.  Jude;  2d  and 
3d  Eps.  of  St.  John;  the  Apocalypse,  and  the  Ep. 
to  the  Hebrews.  Those  condemned  as  spurious: 
Acts  of  Paul;  Shepherd  of  Hermas;  Revelation  of 
Peter-  Ep.  of  Barnabas,  and  Instructions  of  the 
Apostles.  Those  denounced  as  impious  are,  Gos- 
pels of  Peter,  Thomas,  Matthias,  and  the  Acts  of 
Andrew,  John,  and  the  other  apostles. 

Some  of  these  books  were  read  in  the  churches 
for  instruction,  but  not  for  a  rule  and  guide.  The 
Westminster  Confession  says,  "The  books  called 
Apochrypha,  not  being  of  divine  inspiration,  are 
no  part  of  the  canon  of  Scripture,  and  therefore 
are  of  no  authority  in  the  Church  of  God,  nor  to 
be  any  otherwise  approved,  or  made  use  of,  than 
other  human  writings."  See  History  of  the 
Books. 

AFOLLO'NIA  {from  Apollo).  Macedonia.  Vis- 
ited by  Paul  and  Silas  (Acts  xvii.  1;  Pliny  iv. 
10,_17). 

APOL'LOS  (ApoUonius),  Jew  from  Alexandria, 
who  had  some  errors  corrected  by  Aquila  and  Pris- 
cilla  at  Ephesus,  and  afterwards  preached  in 
Achaia  and  in  Corinth  (Acts  xviii.  27),  seconding 
the  work  of  Paul,  whom  he  very  much  resembled 
in  his  teaching,  character  and  attainments.  He 
is  mentioned  as  bishop  of  Corinth. 


APOS'TLE  {sentfoHh) .  The  Jews  so  called  those 
who  carried  about  letters  from  their  rulers. 
There  were  but  few  who  had  this  honor,  and  to 
whom  Jesus  entrusted  the  organization  of  his 
Church.  There  were  twelve  originally  whom  he 
ordained,  that  they  should  be  with  him;  and  he 
gave  them  power  over  unclean  spirits,  and  to  heal 
aU  manner  of  diseases;  commissioning  them  to 
preach  the  kingdom  of  God  (Mark  iii. ;  Matt,  x.; 
Luke  vi.),  saying,  "As  the  Father  hath  sent  me, 
so  send  I  you. "  It  seems  to  have  been  essential  to 
this  high  office,  1.  That  they  should  have  seen  the 
Lord,  and  have  been  eye  and  ear  vntnesses  of  what 
they  testified  to  the  world  (John.  xv.  27;  Actsi.  21). 
Paul  claims  equal  authority  from  having  seen  Jesus 
in  a  vision  (1  Cor.  ix.  1;  xv.  8). — 2.  Called  and 
chosen  by  the  Lord  himself  (Acts  i.  24).— 3.  In- 
fallible inspiration  (John  xvi.  13;  1  Cor.  ii.  10), 
because  it  was  their  office  to  explain  the  O.  T.,  and 
to  set  forth  the  New  (Luke  xxiv.  27). — 4.  The 
power  of  working  miracles  (Mark  xvi.  20;  Acts  ii. 
43). -^5.  To  these  were  added  the  power  to  settle 
points  of  faith,  and  determine  all  controversies. 
Jesus  is  once  called  "the  apostle  of  our  profession  " 
(Heb.  iii.  1).  The  Apostle's  creed  is  not  of 
their  own  making,  but  contains  their  doctrine  as 
set  forth  by  Christian  men  in  later  times.  The 
Apostolic  age  dates  from  the  day  of  Pentecost, 
and  is  usually  divided  into  two  periods,  before  and 
after  the  destruction  of  Jerusalem  A.  D.  70,  the 
latter  period  ending  at  the  death  of  John  A.  D.  99. 
There  was  not  a  revelation  of  the  Lord's  commands 
and  the  duties  they  involved  complete  as  final  at 
one  time,  but  rather  a  progressive  illumination — a 
peculiar  succession  and  combination  of  events — 
fi'om  the  first  caU  to  be  apostles,  the  day  of  pente- 
cost,  the  visions  at  Cgesarea  and  Joppa,  the  con- 
version and  caU  of  Paul — by  which  the  five  heralds 
of  the  Gospel  were  instructed,  and  enabled  to  teach 
its  free  and  comprehensive  spirit.  The  first  Chris- 
tian church  was  composed  of  Jews  only,  and  they 
observed  the  Mosaic  ritual  strictly,  and  were  con- 
tinually in  the  temple  (Luke  xxiv.  63;  Acts  ii.  46; 
iii.  1);  and  the  Jews  spoke  of  them  as  the  sect  of 
the  Nazarenes,  as  the  Pharisees  and  Sadducees  and 
Essenes  were  sects  within  the  Jewish  church  (Acts 
xxiv.  6;  xxvui.  22;  xv.  6;  xxvi.  5;  v.  17).  A  com- 
munity of  goods  was  required  at  first,  but  was  soon 
abandoned.  The  Greeks  (and  other  Gentiles) 
were  admitted  and  elevated  the  tone  of  the  society, 
and  increased  its  power  for  diffusion,  for  the  Gen- 
tiles so  outnumbered  the  Jews  at  Antioch  as  to  re- 
quire a  new  name — which  was  given  by  their 
scorners — Christian.  Shortly  before  the  destruc- 
tion of  Jerusalem  the  members  of  the  church 
found  a  refuge  in  Pella,  east  of  Jordan,  away  from 
the  power  of  the  Sanhedrin,  which  held  its  sessions 
at  Jamnia  on  the  Great  Sea,  and  this  ended  the 
connection  of  the  new  church  with  the  old — Moses 
was  to  be  thereafter  second  to  Jesus  in  authority, 
and  from  that  time  an  enmity  grew  up  between

them  which  has  not  yet  been  healed— and  can  never 
be  (2  Cor.  iii).  The  second  period  is  almost  a 
blank,  since  there  is  no  account  of  any  of  the  apos- 
tles except  John,  and  with  his  death  tlie  age  closes. 
Since  then  the  church  has  been  left  to  the  guidance 
of  man  only,  assisted  by  the  invisible  spirit,  to- 
wards its  spiritual  maturity.

AQ'UXLA  (eagle).  Jew  at  Corinth,  tent  maker 
and  I'rieud  of  Paid  (Acts  xviii.  2).  He  and  his 
wife  Priseilla  had  been  banished  from  Rome  with 
all  Jews,  by  Claudius.  They  became  zealous  pro- 
moters of  the  cause,  as  Paul  says  "helpers  in 
Christ  Jesus,"  "who  have  for  my  life  laid  down 
their  own  necks"  (Rom.  xvi.  3,  4).  The  Greek 
church  honor  Aquila  as  a  bish- 
op, on  July  12.  The  Romans 
call  him  bishop  of  Ileraclea, 
and  the  festival  of  Aqiula  and 
Priseilla  is  on  Jidy  8. 

AR.  Capital  of  Moab,  on  the

AB'ABAH  (waste— sterile). 
The  valley  of  depression  from 
Mt.  Hermon  to  the  Red  Sea  at 
EzionCieber  (Akabah).  (Deu. 
i.  1;  Job  xxiv.  5;  Is.  xxxiii.  9). 
Now  restricted  to  the  valley 
from  the  Sea  of  Galilee  to  the  S.  end  of  the  Dead  Sea, 
and  called  El  Ghor.  It  is  150  miles  long  by  1  to  10  or 
12  miles  wide.  Arboth,  the  plural  of  Arabah  was 
the  name  given  to  the  plain  of  Jericho  (Josh.  v. 
10;  Num.  xxii.  1;  2  Sam.  xv.  28).  The  region  is 
called  KiKKAR  in  Gen.  xiii.  10.  From  the  Dead 
Sea  to  Akabah  the  Arabs  name  the  valley  Wady  el 
Arabah.  The  desert  of  Tih  bounds  the  A.  on  the 
west,  by  long  walls  of  Mmestone,  1500  to  1800  feet 
above  its  floor.  The  mts.  of  Edom  form  the  E. 
wall,  and  are  of  granite,  basalt,  and  porphjrry, 
2,000  to  2,300  ft.  in  elevation,  and  covered  with  ve- 
getation. Mt.  Hor,  the  highest  peak,  is  5,000  ft. 
above  the  sea.  A  line  of  chalk  clififs,  150  ft.  high, 
6  ms.  S.  of  the  Dead  Sea,  running  E.  and  W.,  di- 
vides the  A.  from  El  Ghor.  W.  el  Jeib  is  the 
Principal  water-course— flowing  only  in  vsinter. 
'he  A.  is  a  desert  of  sand,  gravel,  low  hills,  and 
cut  by  numberless  water-courses.  The  sirocco 
blows  almost  constantly.  There  are  a  very  few 
shrubs  and  plants,  as  rushes,  tamarinds,  oleanders, 
anemones,  lUies,  and  palms.  The  water-shed  is  40 
ms.  N.  of  Akabah,  from  which  the  water  flows 
both  N.  and  S.  The  pass  up  out  of  the  A.  near 
Akabah,  upon  the  plateau  of  Tih,  is  now  used  by 
pilgrims  on  the  route  from  Suez  to  Mecca,  and  is 
called  NuKB,  the  pass.  From  this  plateau  to  1000 
ft.  above  it  is  another  pass,  on  the  route  from  Mt. 
Hor  to  Hebron,  called  es  Sufah,  where  Israel  was  re- 
pulsed by  Canaan  (Deut.  i.  44;  Num.  xiv.  43-45). 
On  the  E.  side  Wady  Ithm  leads  through  the  mts. 


near  Akabah,  where  there  are  remains  of  a  Roman 
road,  leading  to  the  country  E.  of  the  Dead  Sea, 
over  th(!  same  route  traversed  by  the  Exodus,  when 
Edom  was  compassed  (Num.  xxi.  4). 

ARA'BIA  (eastamtdry).  E.  of  Palestine,  inclu- 
ding all  tlie  descendants  from  Ishmael  and  Keturah 
(Gen.  x.  30;  xxix.  1;  Judg.  vi.  3.)  Sons  of  the  East 
(Num.  xxiii.  7;  2  Chr.  ix.  14).  Sons  of  Kedem 
(s.  xxi.  13).  "Forest  in  A."  (Ex.  xii.  38;  Neh. 
xiii.  3;  1  K.  x.  15),  "Mixed  nudtitude"  are  Arabi- 
ans. Now  called  by  the  Arabs  Bilad  el  Arab — 
country  of  the  Arba.  Bedawin  are  people  of  the 
open  country,  not  Uving  in  towns.  Extends  from 
the  Euplirates  and  the  Persian  Gulf  to  Egypt 
and  the  Red  Sea;  and  from  the  Indian  Ocean  to 
the  Mediterranean,  or  Great  Sea.  The  ancients 
divided  it  into  Arabia  Felix,  A.  Deserta,  and  A. 
Petr^a.  The  modern  divisions  are  the  Peninsula 
of  Sinai,  Arabia,  and  North  A.  (See  Sinai,  Edom, 
Petra,  Mt.  llor,  Arabah,  Syria,  Aram.)  The  ori- 
ginal settlers  were  the  sons  of  Shem  and  Ham 


MT.  ARARAT,  ARMENIA. 

(Gen.  x.  21, 15).  There  are  many  ruins  in  Arabia 
of  a  more  ancient  people  than  any  known  to  his- 
toiy— (Marib,  Sana,  Reydan,  Riam,  Inen,  Rien). 

There  are  many  allusions  in  the  Bible  to  the 
Arabs;  and  the  manners  and  customs  of  the  mo- 
dern people  are  a  help  to  the  interpretation  of  those 
texts  that  refer  to  the  ancients,  and  especially  in 
Job.  The  Bedawin  constantly  remind  us  of  the 
accounts  of  the  patriarchs,  or  later  Israehtes.  Re- 
spect to  age  (Lev.  xix.  32) ;  deference  to  superiors 
(2  K.  V.  13);  engravings  on  signets  of  sentences 
having  the  name  of  God  (Ex.  xxxix.  30;  John  iii. 
33).  As  a  pledge,  the  ring  is  given  (Gen.  xli.  42); 
they  wear  an  inkhom  in  the  girdle  (Ezek.  ix.  2,  3, 
11).  Many  of  the  most  obscure  passages  are  ex- 
plained by  a  knowledge  of  the  present  customs. 

The  people  have  in  all  ages  been  active,  enter- 
prising, restless;  ambitious  in  commerce,  conquest, 
and  religion. 

The^  country  of  A.  was  never  conquered.

retired  wallis  ana  cooling  fountains,  altars  and 
statues  and  temples,  near  which  was  the  house  of 
Plato,  the  groat  teacher. 

The  Acropolis  had  clustered  on  its  summit 
memorials  and  monuments  of  religion  and  art, 
such  as  were  never  seen  on  an  equal  space.  Peri- 
cles had  adorned  it  with  a  flight  of  steps  and  a 
Propyliea,  with  five  entrances  and  two  flanking 
temples  of  Pentelican  marble,  where  were  placed

gustus and  Agrippa,  the  temple  of  the  Wingless 
Victorv;  a  picture-gallery;  and  there  still  stands  the

Promachus,  by  Phidias,  stood  near,  the  plume  of 
whose  lofty  helmet  was  visible  from  the  sea  be- 
tween Sunmm  and  Athens. 

Pausanias  gives  an  account  of  a  great  number  of 
statues  on  the  Acropolis,  so  that  we  wonder  how 
there  could  be  any  space  left  for  the  people. 

It  is  no  wonder,  however,  that  Paul,  with  his 
natural  genius  and  vast  experience,  should  have 
been  inspired  by  the  surroundings.  (See  Life  of 
Paul.) 

AREOP'AGITE.  A  member  of  the  council  at 
Athens  (Acts  xvii.  34).    Diontsitjs. 

AR'ETAS  {graver).  Title  of  the  kings  of  Arabia,

Mace.  v.  8). — 2.  Father-in-law  of  Herod  Antipas, 
whose  Ethnarch  ruled  in  Damascus  when  Paul  es-

AR'GOB  {stony).  Manasseh,  east  of  Jordan,  in 
Bashan.  Had  sixty  fortified  cities  (Deut.  iii.  4,  13, 
14;  1  K.  iv.  13),  called  Trachojiitis,  a  ti-anslation  of 
the  Hebrew  name.  The  Samaritans  called  it  Mgo- 
baah=stony.  The  Arabs  named  it  Mujeb=sto]iy, 
and  it  is  now  El  Lejah.  It  Ues  fifteen  miles  south 
of  Damascus,  is  triangular,  twenty-two  miles  from 
north  to  south,  and  fourteen  from  east  to  west. 
The  region  is  elevated  above  the  surrounding  coun- 
try, and  is  very  rocky,  Uke  an  ocean  of  basaltic 
rocks  and  boulders;  thickly  studded  with  deserted 
cities  and  villages,  in  all  of  which  the  houses  are 
solidly  built  and  of  remote  antiquity.  A  Roman 
road  runs  through  the  district,  probably  leading 
from  Damascus  to  Bosra.  Kenath  and  Edrei  axe 
on  the  border,  to  the  southwest.  The  Hauran  pre- 
sents the  utmost  contrast  to  the  Lejah,  in  being 
a  country  of  the  richest  agricultural  soil,  in  rolling 
downs,  from  the  Sea  of  Galilee  to  the  desert,  far 
beyond  the  Lejah.

lion-like  men"— and  might  be  "  two  sonsof  Ariel." 
2.  Isaiah  (xxix.  1)  so  names  Jerusalem.— Lion  of 
God,  or  hearth  of  God;  the  same  word  in  Ezekiel 
xliii.  15)  translated  altar,  means  hearth  of  God. 


ARIMATHE'A.  a  city  of  Judea  (Luke  xxiii.  51). 
King  Demetrius  writes  (l  Mace.  xi.  34) :  "We  have 
ratifaed  unto  them  tlie  borders  of  Judea,  with  the 
three  governments  of  Aphereum,  Lydda,  and  Ra- 
mathann,  that  are  added  unto  Judea  from  the 
country  of  Samaria."  Joseph  of  Ariniathea  (Matt, 
xxvii.  67;  Mark  xv.  43;  John  xix.  38).  The  place 
has  been  identified  as  the  village  of  Renthieh,  ten 
miles  east  of  Joppa,  on  the  road  from  Lydda  to 
Antipatris,  but  this  is  doubted  on  the  authority  of 
Josephus.    See  Ramleh.

Tradition  uiakes  him  bishop  of  Apamea. 

ARISTOBU'LTJS  {best  advised).  1.  Jewish  priest 
in  Egypt  in  the  reign  of  Ptolemy  VI,  B.  C.  165. 
Judas  Maccabeus  addressed  him  as  a  counsellor  of 
the  king  (2  Mace.  i.  10).  He  wrote  and  dedicated 
to  Ptolemy  an  allegorical  exposition  of  the  Penta- 
teuch. Eusebius  and  Clement  of  Alexandria  pre- 
serve fragments  of  his  works. — 2.  A  resident  at 
Rome,  whose  household  is  the  subject  of  a  saluta- 
tion in  Rom.  xvi.  10.— 3.  Son  and  successor  of  John

— 5.  Grandson  of  No.  3,  and  the  last  of  the  Macca- 
bseans;  murdered  by  the  designs  of  Herod,  B.  C. 
34. — 6.  Son  of  Herod  the  Great  by  Mariamne. 

ARITH'METIC  {raimbering) .  The  Hebrews  were 
not  a  scientific,  but  a  religious  and  practical  people; 
but  it  must  be  in  fen-ed  from  what  they  did,  in 
certain  trades  and  arts,  that  they  had  the  needed 
skill,  and  reckoning  by  numbers  was  not  an  excep- 
tion. For  figures,  after  the  captivity,  they  used 
their  letters,  as  is  seen  on  the  Samaritan  coins; 
and  this  may  have  been  their  earliest  custom  also. 


ECYPTIAN   ARK. 


Are.  a  word  adopted  from  the  Egyptian.  A 
chest.  The  word  for  Noah's  ark  is  tebah,  the 
same  as  used  for  that  of  Moses  (Gen.  vi. ;  viii. ;  Ex. 
ii).  Ark  of  the  Covenant.  An  oblong  chest 
of  acacia  wood,  gilded,  45  inches  long,  27  wide, 
and  27  deep  (Ex.  xv.  10;  Num.  vii.  9.)  It  was  to 
contain  (or  by  its  side),  the  book  of  the  law,  the 
covenant,  and  perhaps  also  the  pot  of  manna,  and 
Aaron's  rod  (Heb.  ix.  4).  When  Solomon's  tem- 
ple was  dedicated  the  ark  contained  only  the  "two 
tables"  of  stone  (1  K.  viu.  9).  It  was  to  be  kept 
in  the  most  holy  place,  excluding  all  idols,  and  it- 
self be  the  centre  of  regard,  as  denoting  the  pres- 
ence of  God,  on  the  Mercy  Seat,  which  was  on  the 
lid,  overshadowed  by  two  images  with  wings.  Je- 
remiah predicted  (iii.  16),  that  it  should  be  finally 
abandoned  as  a  sacred  object.  It  "rested"  at  Shi- 
loh  until  the  superstitious  warriors  took  it  into  bat- 
tle and  lost  it  to  the  Philistines.  Not  long  after  its 
recovery  it  was  placed  in  the  temi>le.  It  is  believed 
to  have  been  burnt  when  the  Babylonians  destroyed 
Solomon's  temple.

AKNAN 


NOA'ITS  ARK.  The  form  and  size  cannot  be 
learned  from  the  text.  The  figures  are  given  as 
300  cubits  long,  50  wide,  and  30  high.  The  cubit 
was  of  several  Kinds,  18, 19,  and  21  inches  in  length. 
The  present  opinion  (among  some),  is  that  the 
Deluge  was  a  local  inundation,  extending  only 
far  enough  to  destroy  the  human  race,  which  is 
supposed  to  have  dwelt  in  the  valley  of  the  Eu- 
phrates and  Tigris.  The  form  of  the  ark  may  be 
seen  in  that  of  the  great  rafts  on  those  rivers,  which 
have  a  flat-roofed  cabin  on  them,  like  a  rude  house. 
The  Apameans  had  a  tradition  that  the  ark  rested 
near  their  city,  in  Phrygia,  of  which  the  coin  here 
shown,  dating  from  A.  D.  150,  is  a  memorial,  now 
in  Paris. 


BRACELETS  AND  ARMLETS. 

AB'KITE.  Canaanite  people  living  at  Arka,  un- 
der Mt.  Lebanon  on  the  sea  (G-en.  x.  17).  Alex- 
ander Severus  was  born  there,  and  it  was  then 
named  Csesarea  Lebani.  The  ruins  are  on  a  hill 
looking  over  a  fine  plain,  the  sea,  and  mts. 

ARMAGED'DON.  A  name  for  the  plain  of  Jez- 
reel.  Esdraelon.  Mount  Megiddo  (Rev.  xvi.  16). 
There  is  a  symbolical  meaning  attached  to  this 
name  and  place  which  it  is  impossible  to  explain  in 
this  limited  space.  It  may  be  interesting  to  re- 
count the  several  great  battles  fought  on  the  plain, 
which  have  given  it  a  solemn  importance  in  history. 
The  great  victory  of  Barak  over  the  Canaanites 
( Judg.  iv.,  v.),  and  of  Gideon  over  the  Midianites 
( Judg.  vii) ;  and  two  great  disasters — the  death  of 
Saul  (1  Sam.  xxi.  8)  in  the  invasion  of  the  Philis- 
tines, and  the  death  of  Josiah  in  the  invasion  of 
the  Egyptians  (2  K.  xxiii.  29).    See  Jezreel. 

ARME'NIA.  Ararat.  Christianity  was  estab- 
lished here  in  the  4th  century.  The  whole  number 
of  the  Armenians  is  about  two  millions.  They 
have  a  rich  convent  on  Zion  (See  Jerusalem).  The 
Armenian  version  of  the  Bible  was  made  in  A. 
D.  410  by  (the  patriarch  Isaac  and)  Miesrob,  aided 
by  his  pupils  Joannes  Ecelensis  and  Josephus  Pal- 
nensis,  from  the  Syriac.  It  was  afterwards  cor- 
rected from  the  Greek,  and  was  finished  in  the  year 
431. 

ARM'LETS.  Ornaments  worn  by  men,  as  brace- 
lets are  by  women. 

ARMS.  ARMOR.  Offensive.  1.  Club,  mace,  bar,

of  wood,  then  of  metal.— 2.  Throw-stick  {maphietz) 
figured  on  the  monuments,  and  called  by  Arabs 
lissan.  The  Australian  boomerang  is  an  instance. 
— 3.  Dirk  or  sword,  of  flint,  a  deer's  horn  {chereb, 
now  used  in  the  East),  of  wood  as  now  in  Nubia, 
or  of  metal.  The  sword  is  carried  in  a  belt  or 
'  slung  (girded,  1  Sam.  xvii.  .39).— 4.  Spear  {romacK), 
a  short  blade  of  a  deer's  horn  straightened,  or  of 
metal,  on  a  pole  of  wood.  The  horn  of  the  oryx  is 
about  40  inches  lon,g.  Some  were  very  heavy 
(chanith,  1  Sam.  xvii.  7).— 5.  Javelin  (cidon),  a 
light  spear  for  throwing;  a  dart  (shelach,  1  Sam. 
xiii.  22).    Shebet,  baton,  or  sceptre,  with  which 


Joab  killed  Absalom,  (2  Sam.  xviii.  14).— 6.  Bow 
(kesheth),  and  arrow  {hitz),  of  a  reed,  branch,  rib 
of  palm,  wood  and  horn,  ivory,  iron  or  brass. 
There  were  cases  for  the  bow  and  for  the  arrows. 
— 7.  Sling  {kela),  for  throwing  stones;  of  plaited 
thongs.  Stones  were  cast  400  feet  and  lead  bullets 
600.  Balista  were  strong  bows  or  springs  rigged  to 
throw  stones  (1  Chr.  xii.  2). — 8.  Ram  (^car),  a 
loaded  car  with  a  heavy  pole  shod  with  iron,  some- 
times shaped  like  a  ram's  head.  Some  were  large 
towers  on  wheels,  holding  soldiers.  Defensive. 
1.  Shield  (tsinnah),  buckler,  {magen)  roundel, 
(^parma)  target,  (shelet),  made  of  wood,  or  wicker- 
work,  covered  with  hide,  bordered  with  metal; 
kings  and  chiefs  had  them  made  of  gold,  silver  or 
brass. — 2.  Helmet  (koba) ;  of  rushes,  osiers,  skins, 
wood,  cloth  {turban),  and  metal.— 3.  Armor  for 
the  body;  of  leather,  iron,  brass.  Shown  on  the 
monuments,  covering  the  breast,  or  breast  and 
back,  or  the  whole  body,  with  separate  pieces  for 
the  arms  and  legs  (Goliath  wore  them).  Armor 
was  also  placed  on  the  horse. 

AR'MY.  The  Hebrews  began,  continued,  and 
ended  their  national  life  in  war.  The  law  of  Moses 
enrolled  in  the  army  eveiy  male  from  20  to  50 
years  (Num.  i.  3;  2  Chr.  xxv.  5;  Ant.  iii.  12,  14), 
except  the  Levites.  The  divisions  were  10,  60, 100, 
1000,  with  proper  officers  (1  Mace.  iii.  50;  Num. 
xxxi.  14;  1  Sam.  viii.  12).  Messengers  with  trum- 
pets summoned  to  the  camp  (.Judg.  iii.  27).  The 
head  of  the  nation  was  leader,  as  Moses,  until  the 
time  of  David,  when  the  office  of  "captain  of  the 
host' '  was  made  distinct  from  that  of  king.  Foot 
soldiers  were  the  only  kind  at  first  used  (Num.  xi. 
21),  even  while  the  Canaanites  had  chariots  of 
iron  (Judg.  i.  19).  David  introduced  horses  and 
chariots  contrary  to  the  divine  direction  (Deut.  xvii. 
16) ,  and  was  followed  by  his  successors.  The  sol- 
diers had  to  provide  their  own  arms  and  food  (1 
Sam.  xvii.  17),  until  a  standing  army  was  made 
by  the  kings  (1  Sam.  viii.  11, 12;  xiii.  2-  1  Mace.  xiv. 
32).  David  had  600  chosen  men  (2  Sain.  xv.  18), 
"mighty  men,"  perhaps  his  body  guard  (1  K.  xiv. 
28).  A  division  served  in  each  month,  changing 
through*  the  year.  Foreigners  were  admitted  to 
the  service,  and  even  advanced  to  high  places  (1 
Sam.  XV.  19;  Ant.  xiii.  13,  5).

Zilpah,  Leah's  handmaid  (Gen.  xxx.  13).  The 
names  of  one  of  the  12  tribes.  The  boundaries  are 
extremely  difficult  to  trace,  but  were  N.  of  Carmel, 
on  the  Great  Sea  (Josh.  xix.  24^31).  It  contained 
some  of  the  richest  soil  in  Palestine,  and  minerals.

granates, vines,  and  for  henna,  which  grew  best 
here  of  any  place,  except  only  Canopus,  and  also 
for  the  peculiar  onions  called  shallot.  Richard  I 
of  England,  during  the  Crusades,  fortified  and  held 
his  court  at  A.  The  Muslim  called  it  the  Bride  of 
Syria.  The  ancient  city  was  enclosed  in  a  natural 
wall  of  hills  forming  an  amphitheatre  on  the  shore 
of  the  sea,  and  on  the  top  of  this  ridge  was  the 
wall,  which  was  very  high,  thick,  and  built  of  small 
stones  and  old  columns  of  granite  and  marble.  The 
modern  village  Askulan,  is  very  beautiful  in  its 

groves,  orchards,   and  shade-trees  (Gen.  xx.   2). 
rerar  is  supposed  to  be  A.  by  the  Samaritans.

one  time  occupied  by  a  village  or  buildings.  A  fine 
spring  issues  near  some  ruins  at  the  base.  Follow- 
ing the  Samaritan  Pentateuch,  which  reads  Afinit 
Karnaim,  instead  of  Ashtaroth  Kainaini,  the  site 
of  the  temple  and  city  of  Astarte,  is  looked  for  on

doctrine  of  the  unity  of  God,  and  opposed  Grecian 
manners  and  idolatries  (1  Mace.  vii.  13).  The  name 
afterwards  denoted  a  life  of  austerity  and  religious 
exercises,  in  the  hope  of  hastening  the  coming  of 
the  Messiah,  and  of  making  an  atonement  for  their 
own  and  others'  sins.  (There 
is  a  sect  of  the  name  of  As-

religious  oflfice  in  Asia  (Minor),  under  the  Romans, 
annual,  and  subject  to  the  proconsul.  There  are 
coins  of  several  cities  which  show  by  their  inscrip- 
tions that  this  office  was  a  great  honor.  Their 
duties  were  the  control  of  the  public  games  and 
SPECTACLES  in  the  theatres  (which  were  at  their 
own  expense?).  Philip  was  the  Asiarch  when 
Polycarp  was  killed  at  Smyrna.  Only  wealthy 
men  could  have  it.  Each  city  sent  one  person  an- 
nually to  the  council,  ten  were  chosen  from  the 
whole  number,  one  was  made  president,  or  Asi- 
arch.   Others  think  the  ten  were  all  Asiarchs.

AS'SOS.  Seaport  in  Mysia, 
on  a  peninsula  in  the  ^gean 
Sea  (Acts  xx.  13).  The  ruins 
are  very  extensive,  and  give 
a  more  perfect  idea  of  an  en- 
tire ancient  Greek  city  than 
any  other  knovm  site.    Paul 
met  Luke  and  others  here 
after  walking  from  Troas. 
ASSYR'IA.    Country  on  the  Tims  (Gen.  ii.  14), 
the  capital  of  which  was  Nineveh  (x.  11):  named 
from  Asshur,  the  Son  of  Shem,  who 
was  deified  and  worshiped  as  their 
chief  god  by  the  Assyrians:  500  ms. 
N.  E.  to  S.  W.  and  350  to  100  ms. 
wide.    Divided  from  Armenia  by  a 
high  range  of  mountains.    Its  north- 
ern partis  mountainous,  the  middle 
hilly,   with  fertile  plains,   and  the 
southern  is  the  great  plain  of  Meso- 
potamia (midst  of  rivers) — the  dis- 
trict now  called  El  Jezira.     This 
plain  is  250  miles  long,  divided  by 
the  rocky  ridge,  Sinjar — a  limestone 
range,  sparsely  wooded,  and  of  a 
golden  color,  with  purple  lines  of 
shade  at  a  distance.     80  ms.  N.  of 
the  Sinjar  the  plain  extends  to  the 
hilly  region,  and  was  once  densely 
populated,  but  is  now  a  wilderness,  ^isgym^j,  ^^^^^ 
The  mounds  are  the  only  relics  of 
antiquity,  and  these  contain  (in  those  of  Nineveh, 
and  others  recently  partly  explored  by  Layard), 
proofs  of  their  greatness,   in  sculptures,  inscrip- 
tions, and  remnants  of  architecture.   The  first  king 
of  A.  who  oppressed  Israel  was  Chushan-Rishath- 
aim,  B.  C.  1400  (Judg.  iii.  8).    Art  and  architecture, 
civil  and  religious  institutions,  were  in  a  very  ad- 
vanced state.    They  used  the  arch,  tunnels,  drains, 
the  level,  and  roller;  engraved  on  gems;  enamelled, 
inlaid,  and  plated  with  metals;  made  glass,  optical 
instruments,  ivory,  bronze,   and  precious   metal 
ornaments.    The  prophesies  against  A.  are  those 
of  Nahum,  B.  C.  645;  Zephaniah  ii.,  B.  C.  608;  and 
Ezekiel  xxxi.  B.  C.  584.

knowledge  was  needed  for  the  temple  service. 
Worship  of  the  stars  was  denounced  with  other 
idolatries  (Jobxxxviii.  32;  K.  xxiii.  5.  Mazzakoth. 
2.  Signs  of  the  Zodiac.  Mazzaloth— planets).  Tlie 
Chaldeans  and  Egyptians  were  more  cultivated  in 
this  and  other  sciences,  and  used  them  in  their  re- 
ligious systems. 


ASSYRIAN  KINO  PITTTINO  OUT  THE  EYES  OF  HIS  CAPTIVES. 

ASY'LTJM  (inviolable  refuge).  The  earliest  re- 
corded was  the  temple  of  pity  at  Athens,  or  perhaps 
one  made  by  Cadmus  at  Tliebes,  Greece.  Chris- 
tians adopted  the  pagan  custom  and  made  their 
churches  asylums,  and  this  is  stiU  the  case  in  Italy. 
Moses  set  apart  6  cities  of  refuge  in  the  Holy  Land. 
(Cities  OF  Eefuge).  He  also  made  the  "horns  of 
the  altar"  an  asylum;  which  privilege  afterwards 
attached  to  the  temple  and  its  courts  (i  Mace.  x.  4.3) . 

ASYN'CEITUS.  Disciple  at  Eome  (Rom.  xvi.  14). 

A'TAD  (thorn).  Threshing-floor  on  the  W.  of

ATHENO'BIUS.  Envoy  by  Antiochus  Sidetes  to 
Simon  (1  Mace.  xv.  28). 

ATH'ENS.  Canital  of  Greece,  founded  by  Cecrops, 

B.  C.  1556.  Visited  by  Paul  (Acts  xvii. ;  1  Thess. 
iii.).  He  founded  a  church.  The  people  were 
lovers  of  music,  painting,  sculpture,  architecture, 
and  oratory,  and  took  part  in  politics.  The  fine 
arts,  history,  and  pliilosophy  were  a  part  of  the 
education  of  all  freemen.  The  plan  shows  the  po- 
sition of  the  Agora  (market-place),  between  the 
four  hills.  Pausanius  says  the  Athenians  surpassed 
all  others  in  attention  to  the  gods;  and  their  city 
was  crowded  with  temples,  altars,  statues,  and 
other  sacred  works.  Paul  said  they  were  "too 
religious."    See  Areopagus. 

ATH'LAI.    Athaliah.    Error  in  Ezr.  x.  28. 
ATIPHA  (1  Esd.  v.  32).     Hatipha? 


ATONE'MENT  (at-one-ment) .  Satisfaction  for  sin 
by  which  forgiveness  is  had.  When  Jacob  sent  a 
present  to  his  brother  Esau,  he  said,  ' '  I  will  cover 
his  face,  so  that  he  shall  forgive  my  offence,  I  will 
make  atonement  before  him,  I  will  placate  him" 
(Gen.  xxxii.  21).  In  Ps.  xvi.  14,  "a  wise  man  will 
pacify  it"  (the  wrath  of  the  king).  Only  once  in 
the  N.  T.,  in  Rom.  v.  11,  where  it  means  reconciling. 
The  Day  op  Atonement  was  a  great  feast  of  the 
Jews,  on  the  10th  of  Tisri,  and  was  held  as  a  day 
of  rest,  a  kind  of  Sabbath  of  Sabbaths,  the  only  day 
in  the  year  when  the  whole  people  fastod.  The 
service  was  peculiar.  The  high-priest,  clothed  in 
wliite  linen,  without  ornaments,  took  a  young  bull 
and  a  ram  for  himself  and  his  house,  and  two 
goats  as  a  sin-offeriiig,  and  a  ram  as  a  burnt  offer- 
ing for  the  people.  The  goats  were  selected  by  lot, 
one  for  Jehovah  and  one  for  Azazel  in  the  wilder- 
ness (that  is  to  be  seiit  away  surely).  The  blood  of 
the  victims  was  taken  into  the  most  holy  place  and 
sprinkled  upon  and  before  the  mercy-seat.  The 
scape-goat,  to  be  sent  away,  was  brought  foi'th  and 
the  high-priest  confessed  over  his  head  his  sins  and 
those  of  the  people,  and  he  was  sent  into  the 
wilderness  by  a  trusty  man.  The  bullock  and  the 
goat  were  not  eaten,  but  entirely  burnt.  This  was 
a  symbol  of  the  great  truths  of  the  redemptory  sys- 
tem by  means  of  propitiation,  and  it  is  understood 
as  a  lype  of  the  vicarious  intercession  of  Jesus

BA'ALBEK  {city  of  the  sun).  Baal  Gad  (Josh, 
xi.  17;  xii.  7),  in  Coe'le-Syria,  the  valley  of  Lebanon, 
under  Mt.  Hermon.  The  ruins  are  the  most  impor- 
tant and  remarkable  in  the  whole  country  ;  the  site 
pleasantly  located  on  the  lowest  slopes  of  Anti- 
Lebanon,  at  the  opening  of  a  small  valley  into  the 
plain  El  Bukaa.  A  small  stream,  divided  into  many 
rills  for  irrigation,  waters  the  fertile  soil. 

The  city  was  not  regular  in  plan,  and  heaps  of 
ruins  scattered  over  a  space  of  two  miles  indicate 
its  size.  The  chief  attractions  are  the  three  tem- 
ples. 1.  The  Great  Temple,  whose  ruins  are  very 
grand  and  picturesque,  but  seems  to  have  been 
left  unfinished.  The  Great  Gate  is  ornamented 
with  every  device  that  could  be  used  in  the 
most  florid  Corinthian  style.  Ears  of  grain,  vine- 
leaves  and  grapes,  with  little  figures  of  genii,  or 
elves  half-hid  among  them,  and  many  choice 
touches  of  scroll-work,  attract  the  eye  and  gratify 
the  taste.  Only  6  columns  of  the  peristyle  of  this 
temple  are  now  standing  (75  ft.  high,  7  ft.  thick, 
the  pediment  120  ft.  above  the  ground),  besides  two 
courts  and  a  portico.  These  are  on  an  artificial 
platform,  which  is  elevated  .30  feet,  and  has  vaults 
underneath.  The  tliree  great  stones  forming  a  part

Ionic  and  Corinthian  in  style,  circular  inside  and 
outside,  liaving  niches  which  are  seen  each  between 
two  columns.  Carved  wreaths  oinameut  the  space 
above  each.  This  has  been  used  as  a  Christian 
church,  but  is  now  ruinous.  3.  The  Temple  of  the 
Sun,  also  Corinthian,  is  the  most  beautiful  work 
there.  The  great  work  of  Wood  and  Dawkins 
contains  drawings  and  plans  of  every  object  of 
interest  at  Baalbek,  and  also  at  Palmyra. 

BA'ASHA  {lays  waste).    Son  of  Ahijah,  3d  king 
of  Israel,  for  24  years.    B.  C.  953  to  930. 

BA'BEL,  BABYLON  (gate  of  God).  Capital  of 
the  Plain  of  Shinar  (Gen.  x.  10).  Built  B.  C.  2600 
(vei*.  25),  on  both  sides  of  the  river  Euphrates  :  a 
vast  square,  56  miles  in  circuit.  About  5  miles 
above  Hillah,  on  the  E.  bank  of  the  river,  are  a 
great  many  artificial  mounds  of  enormous  size,  in 
tliree  groups:  1.  Babil,  or  Mujellibe  (overturned), 
a  high  pile  of  unbaked  bricks;  2.  The  palace  or 
Kasr;  and  3.  The  mound  on  which  the  modern  tomb 
of  Amram  ibn  Ali  stands.  In  a  line  with  the  Am- 
ram  mound,  on  both  sides  of  the  river,  are  the  ruins 
of  a  great  palace,  the  bricks  of  which  bear  the  name 
of  Nergal-Sharezer  (Neriglissar),  who  was  the  chief 
magician  (Rab-mag)  and  officer  of  Nebuchadnez- 
zar ( Jer.  xxxix.  3) .  Similar  mounds,  but  smaller, 
are  scattered  over  the  country  on  both  sides  of  the 
river,  one  of  which,  6  miles  S.  W.  of  Hillah  is  called 
Birs  JS'imrud,  which  some  say  is  the  tower  of  Babel. 
Inscriptions  found  here,  of  the  date  of  Nebuchad- 
nezzar, mark  the  site  of  Borsippa,  outside  of  Baby- 
lon. A  broad  and  deep  moat,  kept  full  of  water, 
surrounded  one  wall  of  the  ancient  city,  outside  of 
which  was  another  wall  200  royal  cubits  liigh  and 
50  thick.  (Pliny  says 
200,  Strabo  75,  and  lia,w- 
linson  60  to  70  feet). 
Scarcely  a  trace  of  these 
walls  can  be  found  now, 
except  it  may  be  a  few 
mounds  which  are  sup- 
posed to  mark  the  sites 
of  some  of  the  gates. 
Ctesias  says  there  were 
2.50  towers  on  the  walls. 
The  houses  were  gener- 
ally built  of  bricks  made 
of  the  river  mud,  sun- 
dried,  or  burnt  in  kilns, 
cemented  with  bitumen, 
and  were  three  and  four 
stories  high. 

The  streets  were 
straight,  and  crossed  each 
other  atriglit  angles,  the 
cross  streets  having  gate-. 
of  bronze  at  the  fiver. 
Ctesias  mentions  a  bridge 
of  stone  3,000  feet  long 
and  30  feet  wide,  connect- 
ing two  palaces  on  oppo- 
site sides  of  the  river.  There  were  3  walls  around 
the  royal  palace  on  tiie  Eastern  side,  the  second  or 
middle  wall  being  300  ft.  high  and  the  towers  420 
ft.,  and  4J^  miles  in  circuit,  made  of  colored 
brick,  representing  hunting  scenes,  with  figures 
of  Ninus  and  Serairamis.  A  tunnel  under  the 
river  also  connected  the  two  palaces  (Jer.  11. 
58,  53;  1.  15).  There  were  a  hundred  gates  of 
bronze  with  posts  and  lintels  of  the  same.  The 
banks  of  the  river  had  quays,  whose  ruins  still  exist, 
and  on  the  bricks  was  written  in  arrow-head  char- 
acters tlie  name  of  the  last  king.  The  most  impos- 
ing ruin  examined  by  Layard  is  called  Birs  Nimrud, 
and  was  found  to  be  in  seven  stories,  witli  a  cham- 
b(^r  on  the  top,  each  story  smaller,  forming  an 


oblique  pyramid  with  a  square  base.  It  was  called 
the  Temple  of  t/ie  Seven  Spheres,  and  is  not  tlie 
Tower  of  Babel  of  the  Scriptures,  which  is  not  yet 
identified.  Tlie  stories  were  colored,  and  were, 
beginning  at  tlie  lower — 1st,  272  ft.  square,  26  ft. 
high,  colored  black  ;  2d,  230  sq.  26  h.,  orange ;  3d, 
188  sq.  26  h.,  red  ;  4th,  146  sq. 
15  h.,  golden  color;  5th,  104  sq 
15  h.,  yellow  ;  6th,  62  sq.  15  h., 
blue;  7th,  20  sq.  15  h.,  silver

and  is  feet  high,  color  not  given: 
making,  in  all,  153  feet  above  the 
platform,  which  was  three  feet 
above  the  plain.  The  empire 
lasted  1300  yrs.  (Jer.  xxv.  12, 
14) .  It  is  now  a  desolation,  the 
great  city  has  become  heaps  (li. 
37),  the  land  a  wilderness  for  i 
wild  beasts,  and  even  the  Arabs 
refuse  to  pitch  the  tent,  and  the ' 
shepherd  to  fold  sheep  there  (Is. 
xlii.  19-22).

was  the  god  of  wine,  and  of  general  festivitj'  and 
jollity,  and  his  rites  sanctioned  the  most  frantic

BAHAEU'MITE,  THE.    Bahurim. 

BAHU'RIM  {yotmg  men's  milage) .  Near  the  Je- 
rusalem-Jericho road  ;  where  in  the  Wctdy  liuwahy, 
there  are  some  ruins. 

BALA' AM  {stranger).  Son  of  Beor,  and  a  pro- 
phet (Num.  xxii.  5).  This  strange  man  wor- 
shiped Jehovah,  and  at  the  same  time  knew  and 
practiced  the  forbidden  arts  of  divination.  His 
propliesies  are  distinguished  for  dignity,  compres- 
sion, vividness,  and  fulness  of  imagery :  there  is 
scarcely  any  work  equal  to  them  in  the  later  pro- 
phets (Rev.  ii.  14). 

BA'LAC  (Rev.  ii.  14).    Balak. 

BAL'ADAN.  Merodach— Baladan.

BAL'AMO.    Baal.     (Judith,  viii.  3). 

BALAS'AMUS  (1  Esd.  ix.  43). 

BALDNESS,  is  natural  and  artificial.  The  artifi- 
cial is  caused  by  shaving  the  head,  in  token  of 
mourning  for  the  dead  (Jer.  xvi.  6),  which  Moses 
forbade  to  the  Jews  because  it  was  a  heathen  cus- 
tom. Baldness  was  ridiculed  (2  K.  ii.  23),  perhaps 
on  suspicion  of  leprosy.  A  bald  man  was  declared 
unfit  for  the  priestly  office  (Lev.  xxi.  20).

BAN'QTJET.    Entertainment  furnished  at  the  ex- 
pense of  one  man  ;  usually  towards  the  close  of  the 
day,  between  5  and  6,   and  called  supper.    On 
grand  occasions  the  invitations  were  given  out  some 
days  before,  and  on  the  day  appointed  a  servant 
was  sent  to  announce  that  "the  time  had  arrived, 
and  the  guest  was  expected  (Matt.  xxii.  8;  Luke 
xiv.  17).    After  accepting  the  invitation,  to  neglect 
to  attend  was  no  less  than  an  insult.    When  all 
who  had  been  invited  had  arrived  the  master  of  the 


house  shut  the  door  (Luke  xiii.  24).  The  first  act 
of  welcome  was  washing  the  feet  and  anointing  the 
hair  with  perfumed  oil ;  and  among  the  wealthy, 
on  great  days,  a  handsome  cloak  was  furnished  to 
each  guest,  to  be  worn  during  the  festivity  (Ecc. 
ix.  8  ;  Rev.  ill.  4). 

BAN'UAS.  Returned  from  captivity  (1  Esd.  v.  26) . 

BAP'TISM.  Washing  before  prayer  or  sacrifice 
was  a  custom  among  all  ancient  nations,  as  a  sign 
of  spiritual  purity  in  the  physical  cleanness,  and 
baptism  was  instituted  as  an  initiatory  rite  of  his 
religion  by  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  To  be  baptized 
for  Moses  (1  Cor.  x.  2)  means  to  become  subject  to 
the  law  of  Moses  ;  to  be  baptized  for  Christ,  shows 
an  intention  to  become  a  true  follower  of  Christ. 
John  baptized  with  water  unto  repentance — not 
causing  repentance  but  as  a  sign  of  it.  Perhaps 
only  a  sign  of  their  willingness  to  enrol  themselves 
among  John's  followers.  Jesus  himself  did  not 
baptize  with  water,  but  with  the  Spirit,  and  Chris- 
tian baptism  was  only  instituted  after  the  resurrec- 
tion, when  the  Lord  gave  the  commission  to  his 
apostles  "to  go  into  all  the  world  and  preach  the 
gospel  to  every  creature."  There  are  different 
views  of  Baptism.  1.  That  it  is  a  direct  instrument 
of  grace,  when  applied  by  a  properly  qualified  per- 
son ;  infusing  into  the  soul  positive  moral  good- 
ness ;  or,  as  some  believe,  giving  only  the  capacity

to  receive  goodness,  which  if  rightly  used  will  lead 


to  salvation  ;  while  others  again  see  that  the  good 
will  only  be  enjoyed  by  those  who  are  predestined 
to  salvation.— 2.  "It  is  a  seal  of  grace,  divine  bless- 
ings being  thereby  confirmed  to  the  soul.— 3.  Some 
hold  that  it  is  only  a  sign  of  initiation  into  Church 
membership.— 4.  Or  a  token  of  regeneration,  to  be 
received  only  by  those  who  give  evidence  of  being 
really  regenerated.— 5.  A  symbol  of  purification. 
The  mode  of  baptism  differs ;  and  there  is  practiced 
immersion  and  affusion  or  sprinkling.  The  Mar- 
cionites,  and  the  Gnostics  baptized  the  dead  (1  Cor. 
XV.  29),  by  proxy,  some  one  answering  for  the 
dead,  while  the  water  was  applied  to  the  dead 
body ;  and  parents  were  baptized  for  their  children, 
from  a  mistaken  reading  of  the  words  of  Paul. 
He  meant  "  If  the  dead  rise  not  at  all,  what  benefit 
do  they  expect  who  baptize  vicariously  for  the 
dead?"

BARBARIAN.  Anv  nation  but  the  Greek,  was

what  Gentile  did  to  the  Jews— any  people  but  Jews. 
The  Egyptians  had  a  similar  term  ;  and  the  orien- 
tal nations  all  had,  and  have  now  some  term  for 
distinction  hi 'tween  their  own  and  other  people.

BAR  LEY.  Used,  by  the  poor 
only,  for  bread,  mixing  it  with 
wheat,  beans,  lentils,  millet,  etc., 
and  as  fodder  for  horses  (Judg. 
vii.  13 ;  2  K.  iv.  42 ;  Ezr.  iv.  9 ;  1 
K.  iv.  28).  The  barley  harvest  is 
in  March  and  April,  earlier  than 
the  wheat  harvest  by  three  weeks. 

Barley  bread  is  a  sign  of  poverty, 
and  is  little  esteemed  (Ezr.   xiii.  __ 

19).    Its  value  was  one-third  that 
of  wheat  (Rev.  vi.  6). 

BARN.  Ten  different  Hebrew  and  Greek  words 
are  translated  barn.  Barns,  as  we  know  them,  for 
storing  hay,  grain,  etc.,  are  unknown  in  the  East. 
Rooms,  or  pits  (granaries)  are  often  made  under- 
ground or  cut  into  the  solid  rock.  It  is  the  custom 
to  keep  animals,  produce,  grain,  and  all  kinds  of 
goods,  in  the  lower  story  of  the  dwelling.  Poor 
people  often  sleep  in  the  same  room  with  their 
cattle. 

BAR'NABAS  (exTwrter) .  Joses,  a  Levite  of  Cy- 
prus, an  early  disciple  and  companion  of  Paul,  was 
called  Barnaoas — son  of  eloquence — because  of  his 
ready  oratory  (Acts.  iv.  36).  He  was  the  first  to 
recognize  Paul's  sincerity,  and  introduce  him  to  the 
church  in  Jerusalem  (ix.  27).  Being  honored  with 
the  mission  to  Antioch,  he  sought  for  Saul  (Paul) 
in  Tarsus  as  a  helper,  and  they  worked  together  a 
year.  Barnabas'  sister's  son,  Mark,  was  the  Evan- 
gelist. He  is  not  counted  as  an  apostle  (see  Apos- 
tle), although  Luke  so  speaks  of  him  in  Acts  xiv. 
14  ;  and  they  were  equally  honored  by  the  church 
until  after  the  quarrel  and  separation  of  Barnabas 
from  Saul.  After  that  Barnabas  is  lost  sight  of 
The  Epistle  called  by  his  name  is  believed  to  be 
spurious,  because  it  has  in  it  errors  in  the  Jewish 
history  and  worship,  and  very  feeble  grasp  of  divine 
truth,  unworthy  of  a  Levite  and  a  disciple.  It  is 
assigned  to  the  2d  century  A.  D.  by  Alford. 

BARO'DIS.  Servant  of  Solomon,  returned  with 
Zerubbabel  (1  Esd.  v.  34).

BARTHOL'OMEW  (son  of  Talmai).  One  of  the

had  some  difficulty  in  bringing  him  to  regard  Jesus 
as  the  Christ.  He  was  one  of  the  7  to  whom  Jesus 
appeared  after  the  resurrection  at  the  lake  of  Ti- 
berias, and  a  witness  of  the  ascension.  Tradition 
only  gives  any  account  of  him  after  that  time, 
when  he  is  supposed  to  have  gone  as  a  preacher 


into  "the  East"  (India).  A  spurious  gospel  bears 
his  name.

border  of  Gilead  to  Hermon,  and  from  the  Jordan 
to  Salcah  (Josh.  xii.  4,  5;  Deut.  iii.  10-14).  At 
Edrei,  Og,  king  of  B.,  was  defeated,  and  the  land 

given  to  the  half-tribe  of  Manasseh,  with  half  of 
rilead.  It  was  famous  for  its  oaks  (Is.  ii.  13; 
Zech.  xi.  12),  and  cattle  ;  and  now  the  granary  of 
Damascus.  Modern  travelers  speak  of  its  delight-

fields.     Argob,  with  its  60  cities,  was  in  Bashan.

lationship, as  two  of  the  same  family ;  or  a  Jew 
and  a  gentile. 

BAT.  Among  the  animals  forbidden  to  be  eaten 
(Lev.  xi.  20).  The  pecuMar  habitation  of  bats,  in 
the  dark  recesses  of  rocky  caves,  and  their  noctur- 
nal habits,  give  great  force  to  the  prophesy  that 
the  idols  shall  be  cast  to  the  bats  and  the  moles. 
Baruch  shows  (among  other  images)  that  the 
idols  are  no  gods  because  bats  sit  on  their  heads, 
with  birds  and  cats. 

BATHING.  Baptism.  In  Palestine,  Syria  and 
Egypt,  bathmg  is  a  luxury  as  well  as  a  necessity, 
and  is  now  a  religious  ceremony,  as  in  ancient 
times. 

BATH-RABBIM.  Gate  of  the  ancient 
city  of  Heshbou.  The  two  pools  were 
near  this  gate  ;  were  likened  to  the  eyes 
of  Shelomith's  beloved  (Cant.  vii.  4). 

BATHSHE'BA  (promised^swor7i).  A 
daughter  of  Eliam,  wife  of  Uriah,  and

BDELLIUM.  The  gum  of  a  tree  that 
grew  in  the  land  of  India  and  Arabia- 
used  in  sacrifice  and  as  a  perfume  and 
flavor  for  wine.  The  word  may  mean 
pearls  (Gen.  ii.  12;  Num.  xi.  7). 

BEALI'AH,  A  Benjamite  who  went 
over  to  David  at  Ziklag  (1  Chr.  xii.  5).

BEANS.  A  native  of  Palestine,  Syria  and  Asia 
Minor.  (2  Sam.  xvii.  28).  Blossoms  from  Janu- 
ary to  March.  Planted  in  November;  gathered 
in  February.  Both  the  green  pod  and  ripe  beans, 
boiled  with  oil  and  garlic,  are  commonly  used  by 
persons  of  all  classes.  There  are  several  kinds, 
some  of  which  are  fed  to  horses. 


and  naturalists  have  shown  that  it  is  a  species  pecu- 
liar to  Syria. 

BEARD.  The  beard  in  the  East  is  a  badge  of 
manhood  and  a  mark  of  freedom.  The  Egyptians 
shaved  it  off  and  wore  a  false  beard  of  plaited  hair, 
m  style  and  length  to  suit  their  rank.  The  Hebrews 
were  distinct  from  both  their  Egyptian  and  Assyr- 
ian neighbors,  as  may  be  shown  on  the  monu- 
ments, where  captives  are  drawn  in  their  proper 
costume  and  feature.  It  was  a  shame  to  lose  the 
hair  or  beard  (Is.  1.  6),  and  also  a  sign  of  mourn- 
ing. It  was  carefully  dressed  and  oiled  (Ps.  cxxx. 
m),  and  a  fuU,  long  beard  was,  and  is,  a  highly 
coveted  ornament. 

BE'BAI.  1,623  sons  of  Bebai  returned  with  Zer- 
ubbabel (Ezr.  ii.  11)  ;  28  more  with  Ezra ;  4  took

bag,  or  sheep-skin.  The  bed  was  laid  on  the  divan 
(platform  6  to  8  feet  wide,  and  8  to  15  inches  high,

times,  nor  are  they  in  use  now.  Small  hand  bells 
were  used  by  the  Greeks,  Romans  and  Jews.  The 
high  priest  wore  round  the  hem  of  his  dress  seventy- 
two  gold  bells,  which  were  placed  alternately  with 
pomegranates.  The  little  girls  of  Cairo  wear  strings 
of  them  round  their  feet.  They  were  sometimes 
attached  to  the  harness  of  horses  and  camels.

miles  nortli  of  Jerusalem,  to  the 
right  of  the  Shechem  road,  where 
Jacob  saw  the  ladder  in  his  dream 
(Gen.  xxviii.  19).  The  name  of 
the  city  was  originally  Luz.  Another 
account  is,  that  Jacob  set  up  a  stone 
to  mark  the  spot  where  God  spake 
with  him  (Gen.  xxxv.  14, 15 ;  Rosea 
xii.  4,  5).  In  Abram's  time  it  was 
called  Bethel  (xii.  8).  Jeroboam, 
the  king,  set  up  a  golden  calf  at 
Bethel  (1  K.  xiii).  Jehu  continued 
the  worship  of  the  calf.  It  was  near 
Bethel  that  the  event  of  the  bears  and  Elisha  and 
the  forty-two  children  took  place.  It  was  a  royal 
residence  (Amos  vii.  13).  There  were  winter- 
houses  and  summer-houses  and  houses  of  ivory  at 
B.  (iii.  14, 15;  2  K.  xxvii.  28).  Josiah  destroyed  it. 
The  worship  of  God  and  of  idols  went  on  side  by 
side  for  many  years  (Amos  v.  14,  22) .  Was  a  strong

who  resorted  there  for  relief  (John 
V.  2).    Supposed  to  be  the  great  ex- 
cavation  near  St.   Stephen's  gate, 
now  called  Bethesda.    The  porches 
and  water  are  gone,  and  all  around 
it  are  ruins,  but  it  is  very  large,  ce-

of  the  Jews  occurred  here — Joshua  over  the  five 
Amorite  kings,  when  the  sun  and  moon  stood  still 
at  his  command  (Josh,  x.),  and  that  of  Judas  Mac- 
cabseus  over  the  forces  of  Syria,  under  Seron 
(1  Mace.  iii.  13-24).  The  Eoman  army,  under  Ces- 
tius  Gallus,  was  defeated  here  in  the  reign  of  Nero, 
with  a  loss  of  5,680  men  (Jos.  Wars,  ii.  §  8). 

BETH-JESH'IMOTH  {house  of  the  wastes).  East 
of  Jordan,  in  the  deserts  of  Moab  (Num.  xxxiii.

of  the  covmtry"  (Ez.  xxv.  9).  Beth  Jisimuth  is 
now  half  a  mile  east  of  the  Jordan,  and  a  mile 
north  of  the  Dead  Sea. 

BETH-LEB'AOTH  {house  of  lionesses).  Simeon 
(Josh.  xix.  6;  1  Chr.  iv.  31).    Bethbirei. 

BETH'LEHfiM  {house  of  bread) .  Four  and  a  half 
miles  south  of  Jerusalem.  One  of  the  most  ancient 
cities  in  Palestine.  "Called  Ephrath  {fruitful) 
(Gen.  xxxv.  16  ;  xlviii  7).  The  residence  of  Boaz 
and  Ruth,  the  birthplace  of  David,  and  the  resi- 
dence of  Saul.  Kehoboam  fortified  it  (2  Chr.  xi. 
16).  The  Inn  op  Chimham  was  a  halting  place 
for  those  who  would  "go  to  enter  into  Egypt" 
(Jer.  xii.  17)  ;  which  was  probably  the  same  liin  in 
which  Jesus  was  born  (Matt.  ii.  1,  5 ;  Luke  ii.  4, 
5).  Called  also  B.  Judah  and  City  op  David. 
Justin  Martyr  (A.  D.  150)  speaks  of  our  Lord's 
birth  as  having  taken  place  "  in  a  certain  cave  very 
close  to  the  village"  The  village  is  not  again 
mentioned  after  the  birth  of  Jesus,  in  the  Scripture. 
The  Emperor  Hadrian  planted  a  grove  of  Adonis 
over  the  cave,  which  stood  180  years  (A.  D.  135- 
315).  The  Empress  Helena,  after  clearing  away 
this  grove,  built  a  church  on  the  spot,  which  has 
been  continued,  with  additions,  making  it  "a  half 
church  and  half  fort,"  until  the  present  day. 

The  modern  town  is  built  on  the  low  hill  behind 
the  convent  (or  church),  facing  the  east.  The  hill 
is  an  off.shoot  of  the  main  ridge,  and  ends  In  a  lit- 
tle valley  or  narrow  plain.  'The  village  is  walled 
in,  and  is  triangular.  The  plain  east  of  the  ridge 
is  that  on  which  tradition  says  the  angels  appeared 
to  the  shepherds,  and  it  is  called  the  Shepherds' 
Field  (Arabic,  Beit  SaMir — house  of  Sahur).  As 
the  plains  were  always,  anciently,  cultivated,  it  is 
probable  that  the  shepherds  would  have  been  found 
on  the  hill,  where  they  now  may  be  found,  with 
their  flocks. 

A  church  containing  the  monuments  of  the  three 
shepherds  is  mentioned  by  an  early  writer  (Arcul-

is  now  pointed  out,  next  to  the  great  church,  where 
he  wrote  most  of  his  coninientaries,  and  compiled 
the  Latin  Vulgate,  the  best  ancient  version  of  the 
Scriptures,  A.  D.  385-420.  The  present  town  has

spect was  (and  is)  paid  to  him  as  the  expected 
successor  of  his  father  as  head  of  the  family.  He

BlSH'OP  (overseer).  An  old  title  of  the  Romans 
adopted  in  the  early  church  for  its  officers  who  were 
charged  with  its  superintendance.  Originally  the 
same  as  elder.  Both  deacons  and  elders  were 
preachers  as  well  as  overseers.  In  Paul's  time  the 
two  titles  had  already  become  descriptive  of  differ- 
ent duties  required  of  the  different  officers.  The 
church  elected  them,  and  the  apostles  confirmed 
them  by  laving  on  their  hands  (sometimes  also  the 
hands  of  the  presbytery— elders),  (2  Tim.  i.  6; 
1  Tim.  iv.  14).  They  were  to  lead  blameless  Uves, 
be  the  husband  of  one  wife  ;  have  a  spiritual  care 
over  the  flocks  (1  Peter  v.  2);  teach  in  private  and 
public;  visit  the  sick  (James  v.  14),  receive  and

ceeded to  the  authority  of  the  apostles.

BITHYN'IA.  Province  in  Asia  Minor, 
on  the  Black  Sea  (Acts  xvi.  7).  Paul  was

preached  there  (1  Peter  i.  1).  The  coun- 
try is  mountainous  and  well  watered. 

BIT'TER.  Bitter  Herbs.  A5i«erday 
^Amos  viii.  10).  A  bitter  and  hasty  nation 
(Acts  viii.  23).  Simon  at  Samaria  being

was  oaten  with  bitter  herbs  (Ex.  xii.  8). 

BIT  TERN  (Heb.  ^^ppod),  The  Hebrew 
word  is  translated  botli  hedgehog  and  bit- 
tern. The  Arabic  name  of  hedgehog  is 
kunfod.  Is.  xxxiv.  7,  &c.,  corrected  would 
read,  "The  pelican  and  hedgehog"  in- 
stead of  "cormorant  and  bittern."  (See 
Wood's  Bible  Animals).  Others  refer  to 
porcupine  as  offering  aU  the  required

9,  10).    In  Deut.  xxviii.  27,  35,  called  the  botch  of 
EgJTt. 

BLAS'PHEMY  (speaking  emt  of  God).  This  crime 
was  punished  with  death  (by  stoning)  by  the  Jews, 
and  both  Jesus  and  Stephen  were  condemned  on  a 
charge  of  breaking  the  law.  The  Blasphemy 
against  the  Holy  GTwst  (Matt.  xii.  31)  has  never 
been  determined,  unless  it  was  the  saying  that  the 
miracles  of  Jesus  were  the  work  of  Satan. 

BLAST'ING  A  scorching  of  grain  by  the  E. 
wind  (Deut.  xxviii.  22;  Gen.  xii.  6,  ff.). 

BLAS'TUS  (a  b^id,  sprout).  The  chamberlain  of 
TIerod  Agrippa  I.  An  officer  of  great  influence

BLEM'ISH.    All  priests  and  animals  for  sacrifice 
were  required  to  be  without  blemish  or  bodily  de- 
fect (Lev.  xxi.  17,  86).  Jesus  Christ  is  compared  to 
"a  lamb  without  blemish"  (1  Pet.  ii.  13). 
BLESSING.    Favors  or  benefits  specially  given  by 


God.  Men  bless  God  by  thankfully  acknowledging 
his  goodness  and  excellence.  The  same  acts  and 
returns  among  men  have  the  same  name. 

BLINDING.    Punishments. 

BLIND 'NESS.  Is  very  common  in  the  East  from 
many  causes  (Matt.  ix.  27,  ff,  xi.  5,  xii.  22,  xx.  30 
IT).  "  Opening  the  eyes  of  the  blind  "  is  mentioned 
as  a  peculiar  attribute  of  the  Messiah  (Is.  xxix. 
18).  Blindness  was  wilfully  inflicted  as  a  punish- 
ment (Judg.  xvi.  21).    See  cut  on  p.  16. 

BLOOD.  Among  the  Hebrews  called  the  Hfe 
(Lev.  xvii.  11-14).  In  sacrifices  the  blood  was 
caught  and  disi)osed  of  in  a  prescribed  manner 
(Lev.  iv.).  Murder  was  held  to  curse  the  place 
where  it  was  done  (a  superstition  stiU  strong  in 
nearly  every  country  (Gen  iv.  10). 

The  Jewish  people  from  the  time  of  Noah 
were  forbidden  to  eat  blood  (Gen.  ix.  4),  when  at 
the  same  time  animal  food  was  permitted,  because 
the  blood  was  specially  offered  to  God  in  sacrifice 
(Lev.  xvii.  11).    Since  animal  sacrifices  have  been 


abolished  by  the  one  great  sacrifice  of  Jesus,  blood 
is  eaten  by  Christians.  The  Avenger  op  I5lood 
is  the  nearest  relative  (to  the  fifth  degree)  to  any 
person  who  has  been  murdered,  whose  duty  it  is  to 
avenge  the  death  (Gen.  ix.  5).  A  money  payment 
is  often  accepted  for  a  life  in  the  East.  The  6  Cities 
of  Refuge  were  appointed  as  a  refuge  for  any  who 
accidentally  killed  another  [not  for  murderers,  for 
whom  there  was  no  refuge  or  pardon].  The 
"blood-revenge"  has,  more  than  any  other  custom 
or  power,  preVented  the  tribes  of  Arabia  from  ex- 
terminating each  other. 

BLOT.  Blame,  or  blameworthiness  (Job  xxxi.  7; 
Prov.  ix.  7). 

BLUE.    Colors.

xxvii.  6.  "  Box  is  still  used  for  combs,  and  by  the

BRICK-MAKINO   IN   EGYPT.

BREAD  (Hebrew  leliem,  or  lecMm).  First  men- 
tioned in  Gen.  xviii.  6.  Bread  was  a  term  for  the 
whole  meal ;  as  meal  (ground  grain)  is  for  all  that 
is  eaten  at  any  time.  Tne  best  was  made  of  wheat, 
ground  and  sifted,  leavened  and  baked.  Poorer 
kinds  were. made  of  barley,  rye,  beans,  and  len- 
tiles.  The  bread  was  kneaded  with  the  hands  or 
with  the  feet  (as  shown  on  the  monuments),  in  a 
trough,  and  if  unleavened  baked  thin  and  quickly, 
as  now  by  the  Bedavdns.  There  were  private  and 
public  ovens  (Jer.  xxxvii.  21;  Neh.  iii.  11).  Hot, 
smooth  stones  are  used  for  baking  now.  The  ob- 
jectionable passage  in  Ez.  iv.  12  is  explained  when 
we  know  that  dried  dung  of  all  kinds,  in  the  East 
where  there  is  no  wood,  is  used  for  burning. 
Ephraim  is  a  cake  not  turned  (Hosea  vii.  8).  The 
baking-pan  was  used  (Lev.  ii.  6;  2  Sam.  xiii.  9), 
and  the  frying-pan.

asked  for  a  king  (1  Sam.  viii.). 

BRICK.  Made  of  clay,  clay  and  sand,  mud  with 
stiaw,  burnt  in  kilns,  or  dried  in  the  sun.  They 
were  sometimes  colored  or  painted  in  patterns. 
Houses  of  sundried  bricks  had  layers  of  reeds  or 
straw  at  intervals.  David  made  the  prisoners  work 
in  brick-kilns  (2  Sam.  xii.  31).  Bitiimen,  mud,  and 
and  a  very  hard  cement,  were  used  to  join  the 
bricks. 

BRIDE  and  BRIDEGROOM.    Marriage.

chief  (x.  15). — 3.  Ancestor  of  Shemaiah  (xi.  15). 

BUR'IAL.  The  custom  was  to  bury  in  tombs  or 
graves,  and  there  were  no  exceptions,  not  even 
criminals  (Deut.  xxi.  23).  The  tombs  cut  in  the 
rocks  of  Palestine  and  Egypt  have  been  found  to 
be  depositories  of  much  valuable  information  on 
the  manners  and  customs  of  antitjuity.  Sepulchres 
for  families  were  cut  near  the  residence,  in  a  gar- 


furl,  rrde,  push;  c,  i,  o,  silent;  5  ass;  ;hassh;<!,«h  as  k;  g  as  j;  g  asin  get;  sasz;  x  asgz;  n  as  in  linger,  link;  th  as  in  tfaine.

den,  or  by  the  road,  long  before  they  were  expected 
to  be  needed.  Only  kings  and  prophets  were  buried 
in  towns  (1  K.  ii.  10;  2  K.  x.  35;  1  Sam.  xxv.  1). 
Rachel's  tomb  was  a  monument  erected  on  the  spot 
where  she  died.  It  was  a  misfortune  and  a  dis- 
honor to  fail  of  burial  in  the  family  tomb  (IK.  xih. 
22) ;  and  an  honor  to  a  person  or  family  to  wish  to 
be  buried  with  them  (Ruth  i.  17);  or  to  give  one  a 

?ilace  in  a  sepulchre  (Gen.  xxiii.  6;  .Luke  xxiii.  50). 
t  was  the  custom  to  wash  them  with  lime 
("white"),  each  year  (Matt  xxiii.  27).  Spices 
were  used  to  prepare  the  body  for  the  grave  (2 
Chr.  xvi.  14;  John  xix.  40),  which  were  omitted  as  a 
mark  of  popular  dishonor  (2  Chr.  xxi.  19).  Burn- 
ing was  verv  rare,  and  only  recorded  of  Saul  and 
Ills  sons.  The  next  of  kin  presided  over  the 
whole  offices,  but  there  were  public  buriers  (Ez. 
xxxix.  12;  Actsv.  vi.  10).  The  body  was  wrapped 
xn  its  usual  dress,  and  with  bandages.  Coffins 
were  rarely  used.  A  stone  sarcophagus  was 
used  for  a  great  person— king,  etc.  The  dead  were 
carried  on  a  bier,  by  the  relatives  or  hired  persons, 
-or  by  any  who  wished  to  honor  the  dead  or  the  rel- 
atives. The  desire  was  to  be  buried  in  the  native 
place,  as  Jacob  and  Joseph  wished  to  be  carried  to 
Canaan,  because  of  a  superstition  that  only  those 
buried  in  the  Promised  Land  would  rise  in  the  res- 
urrection. 


BTJ'ZI.    Buzite,  father  of  Ezekiel  (Ez.  i.). 

BUZ'ITE.    Descendant  of  Buzi  (Job  xxxii.  2,^6). 

BY.    Sometimes  meaning  agaiiist  (1  Cor.  iv.  4). 

BYB'LUS.  Gebal.  The  Greeks  changed  the  name 
of  Gebal  to  Byblus,  and  the  Septuagint  uses  that 
name  in  1  K.  v.  18,  etc.  In  mythology  this  was  the 
birth-place  of  Adonis,  and  contained  the  principal 
temple  and  sanctuary  of  that  god.  Byblus  had  a 
fleet  of  war  vessels  in  the  time  of  Alexander.  For 
many  centuries  it  was  a  place  of  importance,  and 
in  Christian  times  had  a  bishop.

the  ancient  road  from  Tyre  to  Egypt  (Jos.  Wars, 
i.  21,  §  5).  The  political  capital  of  Palestine,  and 
a  very  important  city  in  the  time  of  the  apostles 
(Acts  viii.  40  ;  ix.  30 ;  x.  1.  24 ;  xi.  11 ;  xii.  19  ;  xviii. 
22;  xxi.  8,  16;  xxiii.  23,  33;  xxv.  1,  4,  6,  13).  In 
Strabo's  time  there  was  at  this  place  Strato's  Tower, 
and  a  landing-place ;  and  Herod  the  Great,  at  im- 
mense cost,  built  an  artificial  breakwater  and 
founded  a  city,  B.  C.  22.  The  sea-wall  was  built 
of  very  large  blocks  of  stone,  50  feet  long,  and  ex- 
tended into  water  of  120  feet  depth,  enclosing 
several  acres,  on  which  a  large  fleet  coixld  safely

gen's  labors  and  the  birthplace  of  Procopins.  Was 
noted  in  the  time  of  the  Crusades.  Is  now  utterly 
desolate. 

It  was  at  Cffisarea  that  Origen  (A.  D.  185-201), 
a  man  of  great  natural  ability,  collated  the  text  of 
the  Septuagint,  Hebrew  and  other  (.Ireek  versions, 
making  a  page  of  six  coluuins,  each  version  in  its 
proper  column,  thus  forming  what  was  called  the 
He-xapla — SLr-ply  version  of  the  Scriptures,  which 
is  the  most  important  contribution  to  biblical  litera- 
ture in  ancient  times.  Of  some  books  he  gave  eight 
versions. 

CESARE'A  PHILIP 'PI.  Paneas  (Prtw).  At  the 
S.  W.  foot  of  Mt.  Ilermou,  on  a  broad  terrace  over- 
looking the  Iluleh  plain;  behind  the  mountain 
range  rises  in  rugged  bold  peaks,  wooded  and 
capped  with  snow.  Groves  of  evergreens,  oaks 
and  olives,  hawthorns,  myrtles,  oleanders,  and 
beautifully  carpeted  with  grass.  One  of  the  chief 
sources  of  the  Jordan  is  in  a  cave  near  the  castle, 
and  pours  out  an  abundance  of  water,  spreading 
fertility  in  its  course.  Named  by  Philip  in  honor 
of  Tiberius  Cfesar  and  himself.  Agrippa  II  named 
it  Neronias,  after  Nero.  Titus  exhibited  gladiators 
there  (Jos.  Wars  vii.  2,  §  1).  On  the  coins  it  is 
C.  Paneas.  Its  most  ancient  name  is  now  only 
known  at  the  spot.  The  castle  (Subeibeh)  is  of 
Phoenician  work,  and  one  of  the  largest  in  the  land. 
Supposed  to  be  Baal  Gad  (Josh.  xi.  17).  The 
charge  to  Peter  was  given  here  by  Jesus  (Matt, 
xvi.  18),  and  near  it  was  probably  tue  scene  of  the 
Transfiguration  (xvii.  1,  2). 

€AIA'PHAS  {rock,  or  depression).  Joseph  Caia- 
phas,  high-priest  of  the  Jews,  under  Tiberius  at  the 
crucifixion— appointed  by  Valerius Gratus,  A.  D.  25, 
holding  it  till  removed  by  Marcellus,  A.  D.  37. 
His  long  term  indicates  unusual  power  and  fitness. 
Son-in-law  of  Annas.  He  pronounced  judgment 
that  Jesus  was  guilty  of  blasphemy  (Matt.  xxvi. 
57-66),  and  uttered  a  prophesy  of  Jesus  without 
being  conscious  of  it. 

CAIN  {acquisition).  The  first-born  of  the  Adamic 
race.  Son  of  Adam  and  Eve  (Gen.  iv.  1).  Eve 
said,  "  I  have  got  a  man,  by  the  help  of  Jehovah." 
It  is  supposed  that  he  worked  in  the  field,  and  that 
his  brother  Abel  kept  the  flocks.  After  the  murder 
of  Abel  (through  envy  and  jealousy)  he  went  into 
the  land  of  Nod  {wandering  land) ;  saw  a  sign  from 
heaven,  and  was  assured  that  no  attempt  would  be 
permitted  against  his  life ;  he  married  Save,  and 
built  the  city  of  Enoch.  Society  was  thoroughly 
organized  in  his  time,  and  we  find  such  names  as 
Zillah  {shadow),  Naamah  {j^leasant),  and  Adah 
{ornamental);  and  Jabal  living  in  tents;  Juoal 
making  musical  instruments;  Tubal  Cain  in  the 
shop  of  the  smith ;  Lamech  composing  poetry ; 
while  history  and  genealogy  were  carefully  pre- 
served.— 2.  Cain.  A  place  in  Judah,  in  the  mts., 
near  Zanoah  and  Gibeah  (Josh.  xv.  57). 

€AI'NAN  {possessor).  Son  of  Enos.  Great- 
grandson  of  Adam.  Father  of  Mahalaleel.  Died 
aged  910  (Gen.  v.  9;  Luke  iii.  37).— 2.  Son  of  Ar- 
phax'ad  and  father  of  Sala.  The  name  is  supposed 
to  have  been  addi'd  to  the  genealogy  for  some  rea- 
son by  the  scribes  or  some  compiler. 

CA'IiAH  {old  age).  One  of  the  most  ancient  cities 
of  Assyria,  built  by  Asshur  (Gen.  x.  11).  Halah 
(2  K.  xvii.  6).  Shalmaneser  carried  Israel  captive 
to  this  city.  The  Nimrud  ruin,  which  has  yielded 
vast  quantities  of  Assyrian  remains,  is  believed  to 
be  the  ancient  Calah,  once  capital  of  the  empire. 

CAL'COL  (sustenance).  Son  or  descendant  of  Ze- 
rah  (1  Chr.  li.  6). 

CALDRON.    A  pot  or  kettle  (2  Chr.  xxxv.  13). 

CA'LEB  {doq).  The  only  one  besides  Joshua,  of 
all  those  who  left  Egypt,  who  was  permitted  to  en- 
ter Canaan.  Son  of  .Jephunneh,  the  Kenczite  (Josh, 
xiv.  14),  not  a  Hebrew,  but  so  adopted,  and  the 
city  of  Hebron  was  given  to  him  as  his  portion. — 


2.  Son  of  Hezron — Pharez— Judah— and  father  of 
Hur  ;  his  wives  were  Azubah,  Jerioth  and  Epluath, 
Ephah  and  Maachah.— 3.  Son  of  Hur.— 4.  Caleb 
Ephhata.    Uethlehem. 

CALF.  Image  for  worship  made  at  Sinai  in  imi- 
tation of  the  Apis  (Mnevis?)  of  Egypt,  from  the 
jewelry  borrowed  of  the  Egyptians  (Ex.  xxxii.  2). 
Not  solid  gold,  but  of  wood,  gilded  or  plated  with 
gold  (as  the  emblem  of  Osiris— Apis— was  made). 
Aloses  burnt  the  image  as  an  allegorical  act  (Job 
XV.  16;  IIos.  viii.  56-  x.  6).  Another  was  set  up  at 
Bethel,  and  one  at  Dan. 

CAL'NE  {fort  of  Ann),  Calno,  Calnah,  Canneh, 
Assyria,  on  the  E.  bank  of  the  Tigris,  opimsite  Se- 
leucia  (Gen.  x.  10),  Ctesiphon,  200  ms.  below  Nine- 
veh, 20  below  Bagdad,  6  N.  of  Babel.  Tank  Ke»ra 
is  its  present  name,  and  the  ruins  are  very  interest- 
ing. 

CALIS'THENES.  J3urnt  by  the  Jews  (2  Mace, 
viii.  33). 

CAL'PHI    Father  of  Judas  (1  Mace.  xi.  70). 

CALVAHY  {a  bare  skull).  Golgotha.  Place  of 
the  crucifixion  of  Jesus.  Wm.  C.  Prime  this  year 
found  a  wall  in  Jerusalem  which  he  thinks  is  the 
long-lost  second  wall  of  Josephus,  running  south  of 
tlie  so-called  Church  of  the  Holy  Sepulchre,  and  so 
far  proves  the  claim  that  the  true  site  of  calvary,  and 
the  sepulchre  are  known  and  in  that  church  (;Matt. 
xxvii.  33;  Mark  xv.  22;  Luke  xxiii.  33;  John  xix. 
17).

OEOUP  OF  CAMELS. 


CAM'EL  (Heb.  gamal).  Mentioned  in  Gen.  xii. 
16;  Ex.  ix.  3,  as  abundant  (2  Chr.  xiv.  15).  Used  as 
a  means  of  traveling,  especially  across  the  desert 
(1  K.  X.  2),  both  for  riding  and  for  burdens;  and 
also  used  in  war.  The  coarse  hair  (shed  in  the 
spring)  was  made  into  tent-cloth,  and  heavy  cloaks 
for  rough  weather,  and  used  in  the  desert  or  open 
country  (Matt.  iii.  4)  ;  and  the  fine  hair  into  the 
delicate  "  camel's  hair  shawls. "  Its  meat  was  for- 
bidden as  food  or  sacrifice,  because  it  does  not 
divide  the  hoof.  Many  trinkets  and  ornaments  are 
hung  on  the  neck  and  sides  of  favorite  camels 
(Judg.  viii.  21,  26).  Its  foot  is  provided  with  pads 
under  the  two  toes  which  do  not  easily  sink  in  the 
sand;  its  nostrils  can  be  closed  against  the  dust  or 
fine  sand,  or  hot  wind;  its  sharp,  long  teeth  are 
exactly  adapted  to  cut  off  the  prickly  shrubs  of  the 
desert;  its  hump  is  almost  pure  fat,  which  can  be 
absorbed  on  a  long  journey,  where  food  is  scanty; 
and  its  stomach  has  several  extra  water-bags,  hold- 
ing many  days  supply.  The  desert  would  be  unin- 
habitable without  the  camel  (and  the  palm-tree). 
Camel's  milk  is  a  luxury  much  esteemed  in  the 
East.  The  swiftness  of  the  dromedary  {awift-camel) 
is  proverbial,  900  miles  in  8  days  havmg  been  done. 

CA'MON  (full  of  grain).  Gilead?  (Ant.  5,  7, 
6).  "Wliere  Jair  was  buried  (Judg.  x.  5).  Lost.

Lawsonia  inermis,  a  privet,  with  clusters  of  deli- 
cate little  lilac  blossoms,  and  exquisite  in  perfume. 
The  ladies  wear  them  in  tlieir  bosoms  as  a  boquet. 
The  dried  leaves  are  mixed  with  citron  juice  and 
used  to  stain  the  nails  and  palms  with  a  yellowish 
brown  (rust- color),  very  much  liked  (and  is  com- 
pelled by  fashion) ,  in  the  East.  In  Persia  men  also 
dye  the  nails.  The  hair  is  colored  also,  by  adding 
indigo,  black.  Dent.  xxi.  12,  should  read  "adorn 
her  nails"  instead  of  "pare  her  nails." 

€A'NA  (the  nest).  Galilee  (John  ii.  1).  7  ms. 
N.  of  Nazareth.  Scene  of  the  first  miracle  of 
Christ,  turning  water  into  wine;  and  another,  heal- 
ing the  son  of  a  nobleman  (iv.  46-54:).  The  native 
place  of  Nathanael,  Bartholomew.  Now  called 
Kana  el  Jelil,  and  in  ruins,  occupying  a  beautiful 
side-hill  overlooking  the  plain  of  Buttauf.  (Rob- 
inson ii.  346-9,  iii.  108).  Howard  Crosby,  D.D 
{Life  of  Jesus),  decides  in  favOr  of  Kefr  Kenna.  4 
ms.  N.  E.  of  Nazareth.  The  text  is  equally  ex- 
plained by  either  place. 

CA'NAAN  (bowed  down).  4th  son  of  Ham  (Gen. 
X.  6),  progenitor  of  the  Phoenicians.  The  word  is 
also  translated  "traffickers"  (Is.  xxiii.  8),  "mer- 
chant" (11),  "the  land  of  traffic"  (Ezr.  xvii.  4), 
"merchant  people"  (Zeph.  i.  11),  and  in  scorn  by 
Hosea  (xii.  7),  "he  is  a  merchant;  the  balances  of 
deceit  are  in  his  hand,"  speaking  of  degenerate 
Israel.  Ham,  the  younger  son  of  Noah,  behaved 
with  indecent  levity  towards  his  father,  becoming 
a  shame  and  reproach  to  him  in  his  old  age,  and  so 
Ham  was  punished  in  his  youngest  son,  for  inde- 
cent levity,  shameless  profligacy,  and  insufferable 
abominations,  have  poisoned  the  whole  line,  taking 
the  shape  and  plea  of  religion,  the  most  hateful 
being  worshiped  as  the  most  holy.  Mt.  Lebanon 
is  now  the  harbor  of  tlie  most  revolting  types  of 
idolatry,  the  relics  of  antiquity. 

CA'NAAN  (lower  country) .  That  is,  lower  than 
Gilead.  The  ancient  name  of  the  country  between 
the  Jordan  and  the  Great  Sea,  extending  from 
Hamath  on  the  N.  to  the  desert  below  Beersheba 
on  the  S.  (Gen.  xii.  6;  xiii.  12;  Zeph.  ii.  5;  Is.  xix.  18; 
Judg.  iii.  1;  Ex.  xv.  15).  In  Matt.  xv.  22,  the  name 
is  applied  to  Philistia  and  Phoenicia,  the  lowlands.

as  lower  than  Gilead.  And  again,  dwellers  in  the 
lower  lands  of  the  plains  by  the  sea;  and  in  the

Any  people  in  the  land  not  Hebrew  (Gen.  xii.  6 ; 
Num.  xxi.  .3). 

CAN^'DACE  (Greek,  kandake).  Title  of  the  queens 


of  Meroe,  whose  capital  was  Napata.  A  prime 
minister  from  this  court  was  converted  by  Philip, 
on  his  way  back  from  Jerusalem  to  Ethiopia  (Acts 
viii.  27).  Queens  of  this  country  were  sculptured 
on  the  ancient  monuments,  mentioned  by  Herodo- 
tus (Nitocris,  ii.  100),  Pliny  (vi.  35),  Strabo  (xvii. 
820),  Dio  Cassius  (liv.  5),  and  Eusebius. 

CAN'DLE.    Lamp. 

CANDLESTICK.  Lampstand.  The  only  light 
of  the  tabernacle,  and  afterwards  of  the  temple, 
was  tliat  of  the  7  lamps  on  the  golden  stand;  or  ten, 
according  to  1  K.  vii.  49,  and  one  in  1  Mace.  i.  23; 
iv.  49;  Wars  vii.  5.  The  only  ancient  figure  we  have 
of  this  is  the  sculpture  on  the  Arch  of  Titus  at 
Rome. 

€ANE  (reed,  grass).  A  sweet-scented  vernal 
grass,  much  valued  for  its  perfume  (Is.  xliii.  24; 
calamus  (reed)  in  Cant.  iv.  14.  There  is  no  notice 
of  tlie  sugar-cane.

CA'NON  (rule).  The  authoritative  standard  of 
religion  and  morals,  composed  only  of  divinely  in- 
spired writings,  which  have  been  added  from  the 
time  of  Moses  to  that  of  John.  In  making  the  se- 
lection of  the  books,  the  four  conditions  were  kept 
in  view:  1.  Divine  authority;  2.  Entire  and  incor- 
rupt work  as  made  by  the  writer;  3.  The  whole 
complete  as  a  rule,  and  guide;  and  4.  Therefore 
needing  no  further  addition.  The  Holy  Bible  is 
then  the  only  and  supreme  standard  of  religious 
truth  and  duty.  The  evidences  are  :  The  decision 
of  the  Church'  in  council ;  the  concurrent  testimony 
of  ancient  Jewish  and  Christian  writers;  and  the 
internal  evidence  of  the  books  themselves.  Inquir- 
ing, we  wish  to  know — 1.  "Were  the  books  written 
by  their  reputed  authors  ?  2.  Were  the  writers  be- 
lieved to  be  divinely  inspired  by  their  cotempora- 
ries?  and  3.  Have  the  books  been  kept  as  they 
were  written,  unchanged?  In  Exodus  and  the 
earlier  books  of  the  Old  Testament,  the  term  used 
for  the  Sacred  Writings  is  The  Law,  or  the  Book  of 
the  Covenant  (Ex.  xxiv.  7).  After  the  return  from 
the  captivity  (about  400  B.  C.)  they  are  called  reci- 
tations, or  the  words  read  or  recited  (Neh.  viii.  8). 
They  were  also  called  The  Books  in  Ecclesiasticus. 
Josephus,  Philo,  and  the  writers  of  the  New  Testa- 
ment call  them  Sacred  Writings,  Sacred  Letters,  and 
Scriptures  (Matt.  xxi.  42,  xxii.  29;  John  v.  39; 
Acts  viii.  32,  35;  Rom.  xvi.  26;  2  Pet.  i.  20),  and 
Paul,  twice.  Holy  Scriptures  (Rom.  i.  2;  2  Tim.  iii. 
15).  After  the  New  Testament  was  written,  Jerome 
(A.  D.  400)  called  them  the  Sacred  Books  (follow- 
ing 2  Mace.  ii.   13),    the  name  Bible  being  first

applied  by  Chrysostom  A.  D.  400,  adding  the  title 
JJivine,  or,  as  we  uow  write  it.  Holy  Bible.  The 
word  Bible  is  Greek,  aud  means  book.  The  sacred 
book  of  Mohammed  is  called  Korawn — the  lx>ok  (1. 
e.,  the  thing  to  be  read).  The  word  Scriptures  is 
Latin,  and  nieans  writings.  The  Bible  is  divided 
into  the  Old  aud  New  Testaments  (2  Cor.  iii.  14'), 
and  according  to  the  Canon  (Kaiton,  Gr.,  ru(e, 
meaning  The  Catalof/iie  of  the  Sncred  Books),  con- 
sisting of  39  books  in  the  Old  and  27  in  the  New 
Testament.  The  Roman  church  adds  10  other  books 
(or  parts).  The  Old  Testament  collection  was 
completed  by  Ezra,  having  been  begun  by  the  an- 
cient patriarchs,  continued  by  Moses  (Deut.  xxxi. 
9),  by  Joshua  (xxiv.  20),  by  Samuel  (1  Sam.  x. 
25),  by  David,  Solomon,  and  others;  and  his  ar- 
rangeihent  has  been  preserved  up  to  the  present 
time.  It  was  divided  into  three  classes  of  writings: 
the  Law  (Thorah),  the  Prophets  (^Nebiim),  and  the 
Psalms  {Chithnbim^,  (Ijuke  xxiv.  4).  Josephus 
names  the  same  divisions  (c.  Apion  i.  8).  The 
first  canon  on  record  is  that  of  Laodicea  in  Phrygia, 


A.  D.  SGJ),  which  fixed  the  names  and  order  and 
number  of  the  books  very  much  as  we  find  them 
now.  The  C^ouncil  of  Hippo  in  393,  of  Carthage  in 
419,  in  which  Augustine  (Bishop  of  Hippo),  had 
great  inlluence,  held  (A.  U.  397)  that  the  entire 
canon  of  Scrijiture  is  comprised  in  these  books — 
Genesis,  Exodus,  Leviticus,  Numbers,  Deuterono- 
my, Joshua,  Judges,  1  small  book  of  Ruth,  *  *  the 
4  books  of  the  Kingdoms,  and  2  of  the  Remains, 
These  are  the  historical  books :  Job,  Tobit,  Esther, 
Judith,  2  books  of  Maccabees,  and  2  books  of  Ezra. 
Next  are  the  prophets ;  1  book  of  the  Psalms  of 
David,  3  of  Solomon— viz..  Proverbs,  Canticles,  and 
Ecclesiastes.  The  2  books  Wisdom  and  Ecclesias- 
ticus  are  called  Solomon's  only  because  they  resem- 
ble his  writings,  and  they  were  written  by  Jesus, 
the  son  of  Sirach,  which  are  to  be  reckoned  among 
the  prophetical  books.  The  rest  are  the  prophets, 
12  of  them  being  reckoned  together  as  one  book ; 
and  after  these  the  four  ])roph(>ts  of  large  volumes — 
Isaiah,  Jeremiah,  Daniel  and  Ezekiel.  The  New 
Testament  was  the  same  as  now  received.

REMARKS. 


These  five  are  called 
Pentateuch,  Greek  for 
five  books. 


Written  long  after  the 
events  narrated. 


Written  by  David  73 ; 
Asaph  12  ;  Korah  11 ; 
Heman  1  (78th) ;  Ethan 
(89th)  ;  Solomon  (72d, 
127th)  ;  Moses  (90th); 
and  others. 

Dr.  Stanley  urges  that 
there  were  two  prophets 
named  Isaiah  and  two 
Zechariah. 

The  age  of  prophesy 
is  chiefly  included  be- 
tween 800  and  400,  B.  C. 

Several  prophets,  as 
Shemaiah,  Ahijah,  Eli- 
jah and  Elislia,  left  no 
writings.

APOCRTPAL  BOOKS  OF  THE  NEW  TESTA- 
MENT AGE. 

EusEBrus,  in  his  list  of  the  sacred  books,  makes 
a  distinction  against  certain  ones  which  were 
doubtful  or  heretical,  and  which  were:  1.  The 
doubtful— Acts  of  St.  Paul,  Shepherd  of  Hernias, 
Apocalypse  of  Peter,  Epistle  of  Barnabas,  Doctrine 
of  the  Apostles,  Gospel  to  the  Hebrews.    2.  The 


heretical — Gospels  of  Peter,  Thomas,  Matthias,  and 
others;  the  acts  of  Andrew,  John,  Epistle  of  Clem- 
ent, and  others.  The  oldest  version  in  any  lan- 
guage of  which  there  is  a  record,  is  the  Septuagint, 
written  in  Greek,  at  Alexandria,  Egypt,  B.  C. 
286-280.  The  oldest  known  copy  of  this  version  is 
written  on  thin  vellum,  contains  the  whole  Bible, 
and  is  dated  in  the  5th  century:  now  in  the  British 
Museum,  and  is  called  the  Codex  Alexandrinus.

This  specimen  is  from  a  copy  in  the  library  of  Trinity  Col-

It  is  dated  A.  D.  200  (about),  and  shows  a  very  neat  and 
clear  text,  as  well  as  all  the  others.  The  oldest  Hebrew 
MS.  known  is  dated  A.  D.  489;  is  a  roll,  and  was  found  in 
the  Karaite  Synagogue  in  the  Crimea.  The  specimen  given 
here  is  from  a  Pentateucli  written  on  a  roll  of  leather,  pre- 
served in  Odessa,  originally  brought  from  Derbeud,  in 
Daghestan.  It  was  "corrected"  in  580,  and  therefore  pro- 
bably written  some  time  before.

other  coins  down  to  A.  D.  130,  given  in  the  chap- 
ter on  Coiiis.  We  have  records  of  Origen's  work, 
in  which  he  placed  side-by-side  six  different  ver- 
sions of  each  book  of  the  Bible,  thus  forming 
the  most  valuable  contribution  to  the  critical 
study  of  the  Scriptures  known  to  scholars;  but 
no  specimen  of  his  MS.  is  extant.  The  oldest 
known  MSS.  in  our  own,  or  the  Anglo-Saxon 
language,  is  the  Durham  Bible,  dated  A.  D.  688. 
The  oldest  printed  Hebrew  Bible  (Old  Testa- 
ment) was  issued  at  Soncino,  Italy,  A.  D.  148

mile  long  by  a  quarter  wide.  The  home  of  J<^sus 
after  leaving  Nazareth  on  being  rejected  (Maii.  ii. 
1).  Here  Matthew  was  chosen  (ix.  10).  Simon, 
Peter  and  Andrew  belonged  here  (i.  29).  (For  the 
miracles  wrought  here,  see  Life  op  Christ).  The 
son  of  the  nobleman  was  healed  here  by  words 
spoken  at  Cana.  The  woes  denounced  against 
this  city  and  others  near  it  have  been  so  literally 
fulfilled  that  even  their  sites  cannot  be  determined 
{Stanly,  S.  &  P.,  ch.  x.;  Rob.  ii.  403-4,  iii.  344- 
358).  Mentioned  by  Josephus  (Wars,  iii.  10  §  8).

the  true  site.  (The  Recovery  of  Jerusalem,  p.

posed to  be  an  ancient  name  of  a  part  of  Egypt.

CAPPADO'CIA.  Asia  Minor  (Acts  ii.  9;  1  Peter 
i.  1;  Jos.  Ant.  xii.  3,  §  4).  The  road  from  Pales- 
tine passed  through  the  famous  Cilician  Gates, 
which  led  through  Mt.  Taurus.  It  is  an  elevated 
table-land  divided  by  chains  of 
mountains,  well  watered  but  scanti- 
ly wooded.  Mazaca,  afterward  called 
Csesarea,  was  the  Eoman  capital, 
and  at  the  base  of  Mt.  Argseus,  the 
highest  in  Asia  Minor.  Tlie  people 
were  mixed,  Scythian  and  Persian. 

CAP'TAIN.  Some  times  a  civil 
and  at  others  a  military  chief  is 
meant.  The  Lord  is  called  the  captain  of  his  peo- 
ple's salvation  (Heb.  ii.  10). 

CAPTIVITY.  The  Hebrews  reckon  four  captiv- 
ities: Babylonian,  Median,  Grecian  and  Roman. 
The  expatriation  of  the  people  belongs  to  two 
periods  only — the  first  and  second  captivity.  In 
the  first — the  Babylonish — the  best  of  the  nation 
were  carried  to  Assyria.  They  were  not  slaves, 
but  were  free  under  their  own  civil  laws  (they 
would  not  obey  the  divine  law  of  ceremonies  away 
from  the  temple,  and  it  is  thought  that  the  custom 
of  building  synagogues  in  every  city  arose  during 
the  captivity),  and  were  ruled  by  their  own  elders 
(Ez.  xiv.  1;  XX.  1),  and  held  slaves  themselves 
(Tobit  viii.  18);  while  some  filled  high  offices  at 
the  court,  as  Mordecai  and  Daniel.  This  event 
occupied,  from  beginning  to  end,  150  years,  ending 
B.  C.  588.  Judah  was  carried  away  captive  by 
Nebuchadnezzar  about  a  hundred  years  after  the 
first  deportation  of  Israel  (Jer.  Iii).  The  decree 
of  Cyrus  granting  the  return  of  the  Jews,  was 
dated  B.  C.  636.  A  part  of  the  people,  under 
Zerubbabel,  returned  B.  C.  535;  and  more  under 
Ezra  B.  C.  458;  and  of  others,  under  Nehemiah, 
B.  C.  445.  The  return  thus  extending  over  a  period 
of  145  years.  (See  Nehemiah,  Ezra,  Haggai  and 
Zechariah).  The  number  of  those  who  remained 
in  Assyria  was  about  six  times  those  who  returned 
to  Jerusalem,  and  they  were  known  in  the  time  of 
Christ  as  the  Dispersed  (John  vii.  35;  James  i.'l). 
Besides  those  who  remained  in  Assyria,  there  were 
many  Jews  who  fled  into  Egypt  (Zecli.  x.  6-10),  and 
into  Arabia,  settling  in  Yenien  (Sheba) .  After  this 
time  the  Ten  Tribes  were  lost  to  history.  It  is 
supposed  that  they  intermarried  with  each  other 
and  with  the  people  among  whom  they  lived,  and 
so  became  lost  as  distinct  tribes,  or  even  as  a 
people.  During  and  after  the  captivity  the  Jews 
laid  aside  their  prejudices,  forgot  their  peculiar 
tribal  pride,  and  became  one  nation  (Is.  xi.  13; 
Ez.  xxxvii.  22);  and  since  that  time  no  one  of 
them  is  able  to  trace  his  lineage  to  any  particular 
tribe,  but  may  reasonably  claim  to  have  the  blood 
of  the  whole  twelve  mingled  in  his  veins.  So  Paul 
seems  to  have  felt  (Acts  xxvi.  7)  when  pleading 
before  Agrippa.

X.  9).     By  Euphrates  (Jer.  xlvi.  2;  2  Chr.  xxv.  20). 
Assyrian  inscriptions  discovered  in  modern  times 
show  it  to  have  been  a  chief  city  of  the  Hittites, 
from  B.  C.  1100  to  B.  C.  850,  who  were  masters  of 
Syria.    Taken  by  Pharaoh  Necho,  B.  C.  608,  and  3 
yrs.  after  by  Nebuchadnezzar.

Acre  from  Sharon  (Josh.  xii.  22,  xix.  26;  Jer.  xlvi. 
18).  Tlie  i)hiin  of  Esdnv.lou  lit'-s  east,  and  the  river 
Kishon  washes  its  nortli  sitk'.  No  part  t)f  Palestine 
equals  it  in  pieturesciue  beauty  ami  variety  of  sce- 
nery, the  luxuriance  of  its  herbage,  and  the  bril- 
liance and  variety  and  abundance  of  its  llowers  (Is. 
XXXV.  2;  Cant.  vli.  5).  There  are  many  deep  rav- 
ines, which  abound  in  partridges,  quails,  woodcock, 
hares,  jackals,  wolves,  hyenas,  and  wdd-boars;  anil 
it  is  said,  anciently  also  lions  and  bears.  There  are 
many  caves  in  the  vicinity  of  the  convent,  which 
were  once  occupied  by  hermits;  and  one  of  these  is 
said  to  be  the  one  ret'erred  to  in  1  K.  xviii.  4;  and 
also  see  Amos  ix.  :?.  The  chief  incident  in  its  his- 
tory is  Elijah's  sacrifice,  tlie  site  of  which  is  now 
located  at  el  Mukrakah  (th:'  />iin<iiif/— the  sacrifice), 
on  a  rock  terrace,  Tell  el  Kusis  (Mil  of  the  pneds), 
at  the  east  end;  from  which  was  seen  the  whole  of 
the  plain  of  Esdrajlon,  the  river  Kishon,  tiilboah 
with  Jezreel  at  its  base,  Jezebi'l's  temple  and 
Ahab's  palace  in  full  view,  the  sea  being  liid  by 
tht!  hill  to  the  west,  up  which  the  servant  could 
climb  in  a  few  minutes  and  see  the  sea  in  its  entire 
expanse  (1  K.  xviii.  30;  2  K.  iv.  23).  Pj-thagoras 
visited  it,  and  Vespasian,  the  emperor,  came  to  con- 
sult the  ora<fle  of  Carmel.  Elijah  was  sitting  on  the 
mountain  when  the  "fifties "  were  sent  by  Ahaziah 
to  take  him  prisoner  for  stopping  his  messengers  to 
Baal  at  Ekron,  and  two  bands  were  consumed  by 
fire  from  heaven  (2  K.  i.  9-15).  After  the  ascent 
of  Elijah,  Elisha  went  to  reside  on  Carmel  for  a 
time  (2  K.  ii.  25),  and  was  here  when  the  woman 
from  Shunem  found  him,  and  told  him  of  her  son's 
death  (iv.  25).  Called  now  Jebel  Mar  Elias.  The 
convent  was  built  A.  D.  1830,  over  ancient  ruins, 
and  is  famous  for  having  been  founded  by  St. 
Louis  of  France,  and  its  name  given  to  the  Barefoot 
Carmelite  Friars. — 2.  Judah,  6  miles  southeast  of 
Hebron.  City  of  Nabal  (1  Sam.  xxv.  2),  and  of 
Abigail,  David's  favorite  wife  (xxvii.  3),  where 
Saul  set  up  a  "place "  after  his  victory  over  Ama- 
lek  (xxv.  12),  and  Uzziah  had  vineyards  (2  Chr. 
xxvi.  10).  It  is  mentioned  by  Jerome  and  Euseljius 
as  having  a  Roman  garrison;  and  in  the  history  of 
the  Crusades,  A.  D.  1172.  The  heaps  of  ruins  liow 
called  Knrmid,  lie  around  the  sloping  sides  of  an 
oval  valley,  the  head  of  which  is  shut  in  by  rocky 
ridges.  The  castle  {Kmr  el  Birkeh)  had  walls  10 
feet  thick  of  beveled  stones,  60  feet  long,  40  wide, 
and  30  high.  Near  it  was  a  round  tower,  and  there 
are  the  remains  of  several  churches,  one  of  which 
■was  150  by  50  feet.  There  is  a  fine  reservoir  of 
Bweet  water  supplied  from  springs  near  (  Van  de 
Vekk).

CARTTIS.  a  disciple  at  Troas  with  whom  Paul 
left  his  cloak  (2  Tim.  iv.  13),  books  and  parch- 
nu'nts.  lie  is  nu-ntioned  as  bishop  of  Berytus  in 
Thrace  by  llippolytus. 

CARRIAGE.  This  word  means  baggage  in  the

CARPENTER,  Since  wood  was  always  too  scarce 
and  precious  in  Palestine  for  any  use  besides  for 
doors,  windows,  etc.,  and  for  decorations,  the  car- 
penter was  probably  a  carver  of  such  finishing  as 
IS  now  seen  in  the  best  rooms  of  the  East 


€ART.  Wagon.  Were  open  or  covered  (Num. 
vii.  3),  and  used  to  carry  persons  and  burdens 
(Gen.  xlv.  19;  1  Sam.  vi.  7),  or  produce  (Amos  ii. 
13).  There  were  no  roads,  and  the  only  ones  now 
in  use  have  been  lately  made,  from  Joppa  to  Jeru- 
salem, and  from  Beirut  to  Damascus. 

CAR'"VING.  Carving  and  engraving  have  always 
been  much  used  for  the  decoration  of  houses,  fur- 
niture, arms,  jewelry,  etc.  The  occupation  of  Jo- 
seph was  that  of  a  carver  and  not  a  carpenter,  as 
wood  has  always  been  too  scarce  and  expensive  to 
use  in  the  framework  of  houses. 

CASIPH'IA.  Place  between  Babylon  and  Jeru- 
salem (Ezr.  viii.  17). 

CAS'LEU  (1  Mace.  i.  54).

position of  the  "oil  of  holy  ointment"  (Ezr.  xxx. 
24) ;  a  choice  perfume.  Also,  an  article  among  the 
precious  merchandise  of  Tyre  (Ezr.  xxxvii.  19). 

CASTOR  and  POL'LTJX  (w«s  of  Jupiter),  (Acts 
xxviii.  11).  Name  of  the  vessel  in  which  Paul 
sailed  from  ISIalta  to  Rome  ;  derived  from  the  name 
of  the  two  stars  called  "the  twins,"  the  fabled  sons 
of  Jupiter  and  Leda. 

CATS  (Bar.  vi.  22).  The  cat  was  a  favorite  of  the 
Egyptians,  and  is  found  embalmed  among  their 
mummies. 

CAT'-ER-PIL-LAR.    See  Locust. 

CATHUA.    GiDDEL  (1  Esd.  v.  30).

long,  like  a  scarf  ;  worn  by  women  for  ornament. 

CATJSE'-WAY.    Raised  path  (1  Chr.  xxvi.  16, 18). 

GAVE.  Mentioned  in  the  early  history  as  often 
useful  to  men.  There  are  a  great  number  in  the 
limestone  region  of  Palestine  and  Syria,  many  of 
which  have  been  cut  out  larger  for  shelter  or 
defence.  Several  Hebrew  words  are  used  to  denote 
caves,  holes  and  fissures,  and  many  places  were 
named  from  noted  caves,  and  some  people,  as  the 
llorites  (caveites),  were  so  named  from  their 
dwellings.  The  great  cave  near  Aleppo  will  hold 
3000  horse-soldiers.  INIaundrell  described  a  large 
system  of  caves,  containing  200  rooms,  near  Sidon. 
tot  is  the  first  who  is  recorded  as  living  in  a  cave. 
The  cave  of  Machpelah  is  the  first  mentioned  as  a

bmlal-place.  Other  noted  caves  were  Makkedah 
(five  kings  taken  in  by  Joshua);  Adullam  (where 
David  cut  Saul's  skirt  off ) ;  and  in  Josephus,  the 
famous  robber-caves  of  Arbela,  near  Gennesaret. 

CEDAR  (Heb.  erez;  Ar.  arz,  the  larch).  There 
are  eleven  groves  of  cedars  on  the  Lebanon  moun- 
tains, which  have  been  visited  by  travelers  re- 
cently. One,  near  the  highest  peak,  6000  feet 
above  the  sea,  N.  E.  of  Beirut,  and  long  famous 
for  its  400  ancient  trees  o;E  immense  size,  standing 
near  the  summits,  which  are  covered  with  per- 
petual snow;  the  second,  near  Deir  El  Kamr.  The 
six  largest  of  this  northern  group  measured,  in 
1868,  48,  40,  38,  33>^,  30,  29^  feet;  and  a  third, 
near  Ain  Zehalteh,  on  the  Beirut-Damascus  stage 
road,  lately  found.  Dr.  Robert  Morris  recently 
brought  several  camel  loads  of  cones  from  these 
trees  for  distribution  among  Sunday-School  schol- 
ars. The  references  to  cedar- wood  in  the  Scripture 
do  not  always  mean  the  cedar  of  Lebanon— as,  for 
instance,  when  at  Sinai  (Lev.  xii.  6).  The  word 
EREZ  means  also  pine,  Cyprus,  fir  and  juniper.  Pwev. 
Henry  H.  Jessup,  an  American  missionary  in 
Syria,  thinks  the  whole  range  of  Lebanon,  from 
3000  to  7000  feet  altitude,  was  at  one  time  covered 
with  cedar  groves. 

CE'DRON.  Near  Jamnia  and  Azotus;  fortified 
by  Antiochus  Sidetes.— 2.  Kidron,  the  torrent  E. 
of  Jerusalem,  which  see. 

CEI'LAN  (1  Esd.  V.  15).     AzETAS. 

CEILING.  The  ceilings  of  the  principal  apart- 
ments in  Eastern  houses  are  the  parts  on  which  the 
chief  care  is  expended  in  adorning.  The  Jews 
bestowed  much  care  on  these  parts  in  their  houses 
(Jer.  xxii.  14;  Hag.  i.  4). 

CEN'CHEEa;.  Harbor  of  Corinth,  on  the  Saron- 
ic  Gulf,  east,  whence  Paul  sailed  for  Ephesus 
(Acts  xviii.  18).  There  was  a  church  here,  of 
which  Phcebe  was  a  member  (Rom.  xvi.  1),  and 
Lucius  its  first  bishop,  appointed  by  Paul.  Tliere 
was  a  temple  at  the  end  of  each  mole,  and  a  statue 
of  Neptune  on  a  rock  between,  as  may  be  seen  on 
an  ancient  coin  of  Corinth. 

CENDEBE'TJS,  correctly  Cendeb^'us.  One  of 
Antiochus'  generals  in  Palestine  (1  Mace.  xv. 
38,  ff). 


OOAT   OF   SrN'AI

mentioned. 


CE'EAS  (1  Esd.  V.  29).    Keros. 
CE'TAB  (1  Esd.  V.  30). 

CHA'BRIS.  Son  of  Gothoniel  (Judith  vi.  15-  viii 
10;  X.  6).__  ' 

CHA'DIAS  (1  Esd.  v.  20).    Ammidoi. 

CHAFF  (Is.  v.  24;  xxxiii.  11).  The  carrying 
away  of  chaff  by  the  wind  in  Scripture  is  used  as 
a  symbol  of  the  destruction  of  the  wicked  (Is 
xvii.  13). 

CHAIN.  Chains  were  in  use  by  the  ancients; 
they  were  made  of  precious  metal  for  ornaments, 
and  were  worn  alike  by  men  and  women— of  iron 
for  other  purposes.  The  gold  chain  given  to 
Joseph  (Gen.  xii.  42),  and  the  one  promised  to 
Daniel  (Dan.  v.  7),  were  the  first  mentioned. 

CHAL'CE-DO-NY.    Precious  Stones. 

CHAL'COL  (1  K.  iv.  31). 

CHALK  (Is.  xxvu.  9).    Limestone. 

CHAL'D.ffiA,  Chaldea,  Casdim  (Khaldi  in  Ar- 
menian, the  moon).  Babylonia— the  whole,  or 
sometimes  the  southern  part  (Dan.  v.  30,  ix.  1; 
Gen.  xi.  28).  Haran  died  in  Ur  of  Casdim  (Ezek. 
i.  3).  The  whole  of  Mesopotamia  occupied  by 
Chaldeans.  The  Chaldeans  were  one  out  of  many 
Cushite  tribes  peopling  Babylonia.  Hence  came 
Sabseans  to  afflict  Job  (i.  15-17).  Recently  discov- 
ered inscriptions  on  ancient  works  show  that  there 
were  two  languages  in  use:  one  a  Semitic,  for  civil 
purposes,  and  another  a  Cushite,  for  learned  and 
religious  purposes  (Dan.  i.  4;  v.  11).  The  Chal- 
deans were  priests,  magicians  or  astronomers — the 
depositaries  of  learning  and  science.  The  plains 
were  formerly  irrigated  by  canals  led  from  the 
river,  spread  over  the  country  like  a  network. 
Groves  of  palm-trees,  pleasant  gardens,  fields  of 
grain  and  vineyards,  proved  the  richness  of  the 
soil,  and  supported  a  dense  population.  It  is  now 
a  waste  of  drifting  dust  and  sand,  with  heaps  of 
bricks  and  rubbish  (Is.  xiv.  23;  Jer.  1.  38).  The 
chief  cities  were  Accad,  Babel,  Borsippa,  Calneh, 
Cutha,  Erech,  Sippara  and  Teredon.  Herodotus 
mentions  a  vast  number  of  cities,  and  the  moimds 
over  all  the  country  prove  his  statements  true. 

CHAMBERS  OF  IMAGERY.  Used  by  Ezekiel 
(viii.  12)  in  denouncing  the  idolatrous  corruptions 
of  the  kingdom  of  Judah,  or  that  part  which  imi- 
tated the  Egyptians  in  painting  on  the  walls  of  a 
chamber  pictures  of  idols,  &c.,  for  worship.  (See 
WUki7ison's  Manners  and  Customs  of  the  Ancient 
Egyptians).  Everjr  man  has  a  chamber  in  his  own 
mind  filled  with  his  idols — his  deare^  objects  of 
regard. 

CHAM  BER-lNG  (Rom.xiii.  13). 

CHAMBER-LAIN.  Erastus,  "the  chamberlain." 
An  officer  who  had  charge  of  a  king's  lodgings  and

CHAME'LEON  (Heb.  KO-Acn,  strength) .  There 
are  two  lizards,  each  of  which  has  been  proposed 
as  the  animal  meant.  Lizards  are  very  plentiful  in 
Palestine  and  Egypt.  1.  The  chameleon  is  noted 
for  its  strong  grasp,  by  which  it  sustains  its  position 
for  a  long  time  on  twigs  and  branches.  The  nor- 
mal color  is  black  or  slaty,  but  can  be  changed  in 
an  instant  to  many  other  tones,  as  green,  yellow, 
spotted,  which  changes  seem  to  be  independent  of 
the  will  of  the  animal.— 2.  The  Nile  Monitor  is 
sometimes  called  the  land  crocodile,  being  about  6 
feet  in  length.  It  eats  the  eggs  and  young  of  the 
crocodile. 

CHAM'OIS.  A  specie  of  wild  goat  found  in  Ara- 
bia (Dent.  xiv.  5). 

CHAM-PAIGN  {a plain)  (Deut.  xi.  30).

CHAN'GEES  (Judg.  ii.  15).     MONEYCHANGERS. 

CHANGEBS  OF  MONEY.  A  class  who  made  a 
business,  in  accomiuodatiug  the  temple  worshipers 
at  the  annual  feasts  of  the  Jews,  by  exchanging 
the  money  of  those  who  came  from  foreign  coun- 
tries for  the  half-shekel  which  was  the  lawful  trib- 
ute to  the  treasury.  They  probably  crept  gradu- 
ally nearer  the  temple  until  they  occupied  the  cor- 
ners and  passages  of  the  sacred  courts.  From 
these  Jesus  drove  them,  because  no  trading  was 
lawful  there,  and  certainly  not  dishonest,  sharp 
practices,  which  had  made  God's  house  a  "deu  of 
thieves. ' '

(Num.  vii.  13). — 3.  Pinax,  a  tray,  or  server,  of 
wood  inlaid,  or  of  metal  (such  as  is  now  used  for 
the  common  table),  (Matt.  xiv.  8). 

CHARIOT.  Heb.  merkabah,  and  rekeb,  and  agaloth 
for  war-chariots,  or  wagons  or  carts.  The  Egyptian 
monuments  present  paintings  of  several  kinds  of 
chariots,  all  of  two  wheels  only,  differing  chiefly  in 
the  ornaments.  The  king's  was  different  only  in 
being  more  richly  ornamented,  and  as  having  the 
king  alone— as  a  sign  that  to  him  belonged  the  en- 
tire glory  of  the  victory.  In  the  AssvTian  sculp- 
tures are  some  4- wheeled  carriages.  Three  persons 
usually  ride  in  them — the  king,  his  umbrella-bearer, 
and  the  charioteer.  The  Persian  chariots  were 
heavier  than  those  of  Egypt  or  Assyria.

was  the  largest  artificial  canal  of  Babylonia,  and 
was  cut  by  the  Jewish  captives. 

CHE'DORLA'OMEB  (Gen.  14).  King  of  Elam, 
perhaps  a  part  of  Persia  and  Media.  His  maraud-

brought  to  an  abrupt  and  disastrous  end  by  Abra- 
harri; 

CHEESE.  There  is  no  Hebrew  word  for  cheese. 
The  three  words  translated  cheese  are:  1.  gebinah, 
curdled  milk  (Job  x.  10) ;  2.  charitse  hechalab,  slices 
of  curds  (1  Sam.  x\ii.  18);  3.  sh'photh  bakar,  curd 
rubbed  fine — of  kine  (2  Sam.  xvii.  29).  Cheese

ship (llos.  X.  5). 

CHE'MOSH  {subduer).  The  national  god  of  the 
Moabites  (1  K.  xi.  7;  Jer.  xlviii.  7),  who  were  called 
the  people  of  Chemosh  (Num.  xxi.  29).  Also  of 
the  Ammonites,  though  Moloch  was  afterwards 
their  god  (Jer.  xlix).  Moloch  and  Chemosli  may 
mean  the  same  god,  who  might  have  been  also 
called  Baal  Peor.  Traces  of  the  same  worship  are 
found  at  Babylon,  Tyre,  and  it  was  introduced 
among  the  Hebrews  by  Solomon,  who  built  a  high 
place  on  the  Mt.  of  Offense,  so  named  for  that  act. 
The  Arabs  worshiped  a  black  stone  as  his  emblem 
— as  a  black  stone  in  the  Kaaba  at  Mecca  is  an  em- 
blem now  worshiped  by  all  Mohammedans.  This 
idol  represented  some  of  the  planets:  perhaps  Sat- 
urn.

CHEPH 'IRAH  ( the  village) .  Benjamin  (Josh.  ix. 
17).  East  of  Yalo,  two  miles.  Kefir  (Rob.,  iii. 
146).  The  Gibeonites  of  this  place  (and  also  Kir- 
jath  Jearim  and  Beeroth)  played  the  trick  on 
Joshua  mentioned  in  Josh.  ix.  3,  which  led  him  to 
make  a  treaty  with  them.

but  they  liad  runners.  Their  captain  was  Beuaiali

called  lioing  creatures  (Ezekiel  and  John),  and  so 
full  of  eyes,  the  peculiar  sign  of  life.  The  cheru- 
bim were  designed  as  symbols  of  faith  and  hope  to 


ENTRANCE  OP  PALACE  AT  KONYUNJIK. 


Joab.  The  names  are  of  Philistine  origin,  and 
the  men  may  have  been  partly  of  Philistine  and 
partly  of  Hebrew  (refugee)  origin,  attached  to  Da- 
vid in  his  adversity,  and  rewarded  by  him  in  his 
prosperity. 

CHE'RITH.  The  brook  Cherith,  in  a  valley  now 
called  Kelt,  running  by  Jericho  to  the  Jordan  (1 
K.  xvii.  3,  5;  Jos.  Ant.  viii.  13,  §  2).  Some  have 
supposed  that  it  must  be  looked  for  on  the  east  of 
Jordan. 

CHER'TJB  {mystic  figure  on  tJie  arJc).  Cherubim, 
plural.  A  keeper,  warder  or  guard  of  the  Deity. 
Josephus  said  no  one  in  his  day  could  even  conjec- 
ture the  shape  of  the  cherubim  that  Solomon  made 
for  the  Holv  of  Holies  (Ant.  viii.  3,  3).  They  were 
of  wood,  gilded,  and  15  feet  high  (1  K.  vi.  23). 
Ezekiel  describes  them  as  having  each  four  faces 
and  four  wings;  but  he  gives  only  two  faces  (or  it 
may  be  but  one)  to  those  in  the  temple  on  the 
wails.  The  cherubim  of  Rev.  iv.  7,  8,  are  living 
creatures,  with  one  body,  four  faces  full  of  eyes, 
and  six  wings.  The  fourfold  combination  was  of 
man,  lion,  ox,  and  eagle.  Monstrous  combinations 
of  this  kind  are  figured  and  sculptiired  both  in 
Assyria  and  Egypt.  These  coml>ined  forms  are 
symbolical  of  united  powers;  the  lion  of  strength, 
royal  majesty;  the  ox  of  patient  industry;  wings  of 
svviftness,  quickness,  and  the  human  head  the  in- 
telligence to  guide  all  these  for  one  purpose;  and 


thus  showing  that  the  divine  government  is  sus- 
tained by  intplligence,  power,  patience,  and  speed. 
They  were  servants  of  God,  and  they  were  minis- 
ters'of  vengeance  (Ez.  x.  7;  Rev.  xv.  7),  and  at- 
tendants of  the  heavenly  king,  praising  and  extoll- 
ing the  wonders  of  his  grace  (Rev.  v.  11),  and  thus 
always  nearest  to  God,  "in  the  midst  of  the  throne" 
(Rev.  iv.  4-6),  while  others  as  angels  and  elders.

10  ms^  S.  W.  of  Beit  Jibrin. 

CHI'DOIT  {javelin).  Near  Kirjath  Jearim  (1 
Chr.  xiii.  9;  2  Sam.  vi.).  An  accident  happened 
here  to  the  ark  while  on  its  way  to  Jerusalem. 

CHICKENS  (2  Esd.  i.  30;  Matt,  xxiii.  37).    Hen. 

CHILD.  Children.  Were  regarded  as  God's 
gifts.  Parents  were  bound  to  teach  them  their  own 
faith  and  fit  them  to  occupy  the  place  of  true  mem- 
bers of  the  covenant  (Gen.  xviii.  19;  Dent.  vi.  7; 
xi.  19),  and  required  of  children  a  kind  of  sacred 
revei'ence,  sanctioned  in  the  Decalogue;  the  parent 
standing  to  his  children  as  God  does  to  the  parent. 
At  five  the  child  was  placed  under  the  father's 
special  care,  and  at  twelve  the  son  was  called  the 
son  of  the  law.  Very  severe  laws  regulated  the 
conduct  of  the  child  and  punished  misconduct  (Lev. 
xix.  3  ;  Ex.  xxi.  15,  17  ;  Dent,  xxvii.  16),  in  the 
father  as  well  as  the  son  (Dent.  xxi.  21).  Property 
descended  to  the  sons  in  equal  shares,  the  oldest 
having  a  double  portion,  no  wills  being  necessary. 
The  child  might  be  sold  for  a  debt  of  the  parent 
(2  K.  iv.  1;  is.  i.  1;  Neh.  v.  5),  until  the  year  of 
jubilee.  The  word  child  also  means  a  person  noted 
for  certain  qualities,  as  "children  of  the  world" — 
selfish;  "children  of  light"  having  religion;  "child 
of  song,"  a  good  singer.

CHRONOLOGY.  The  chronology  of  the  Bible  is 
that  of  the  Jews  and  their  ancestoi's,  from  the 
earliest  records  to  the  end  of  the  writing  of  the 
New  Testament.  Since  the  Bible  is  not  a  complete 
history  of  the  whole  time  it  represents,  nor  of  the 
whole  world,  it  must  not  be  exiieetcd  to  have  a  con- 
tinuous chronology.  Designed  alterations  by  bad 
men  and  careles.s  copying  have  changed  many 
points,  and  have  made  it  necessary  to  exercise  the 
greatest  care  in  determining  and  correcting  tlie 
errors.  The  Jews  were  not  a  mathematical  pe()])le, 
or  scientific  in  any  respect,  and  computed  the  year 
by  observation  only.  The  Egyptians  and  Chaldees 
were  far  in  advance  of  the  Hebrews  in  science,  and 
attained  to  a  high  standard  of  mathematical  knowl- 
edge and  chronological  computation.  The  obser- 
vation of  the  moon  was  the  basis  of  the  year's 
reckoning.  Messengers  were  stationed  on  the 
heights  around  Jerusalem,  on  the  30th  day  of  the 
month,  to  announce  the  appearance  of  the  new 
moon,  who  reported  to  the  Sanhedrin.  This  cus- 
tom, among  the  Jews,  was  older  than  Moses,  as 
appears  in  the  reguh^tion  of  it  in  Num.  xxviii.  11. 
The  year  was  made  of  twelve  moons;  and  every 
fourth  or  fifth  year  a  month  was  added  at  the  end 
of  the  year,  after  the  month  Adar,  called  Veadar, 
Second  Adar.  The  sacred  year  began  with  the 
month  Nisan,  in  which  Moses  brought  Israel  out 
of  Egypt  (Ex.  xii.  2;  Esth.  iii.  7).  The  civil  year 
began  as  now,  with  tlie  month  Tisliri,  which  was 
supposed  to  be  the  month  of  the  creation.

The  year  was  also  dated  from  the  king's  reign,  as 
in  Esther,  Chronicles,  Kings,  etc. ;  from  the  build- 
ing of  King  Solomon's  temple;  and  ffom  the  be- 
ginning of  the  Babylonish  captivity.  The  week 
was  of  seven  days,  ending  with  the  Sabbath.  The 
Egyptians  and  Greeks  divided  the  month  into 
periods  of  ten  days,  called  decades.  The  day  was 
divided  into  nighl  and  day:  thus,  in  Gen.  i.  5,  "the 
evening  and  the  morning  were  the  first  day."  The 
evening  began  at  sunsex,  the  morning  at  sunrise. 
There  were  four  divisions  of  the  day  in  common 
use — evening,  morning,  double  light  (noon),  and 
half  night  (midnight).    The  night  was  divided 


into  watches,  the  first  and  the  second.  A  middle 
watch  is  mentioned  once  in  Judg.  vii.  19;  and  the 
morning  watch  in  Ex.  xiv.  24,  and  1  Sam.  xi.  11. 
Four  night-watches  were  adopted  from  the  Romans 
in  later  times  (Mark  viii.  35).  The  day  and  the 
night  were  divided  into  12  hours  each  (Dan.  iv. 
19,  33).  The  Egyptians  divided  the  day  and  night 
into  hours  from  about  1200  B.  C.  The  division  into 
24  hoiu-s  was  unknown  before  the  fourth  century 
B.  C.  The  most  common  usage  was  to  divide  the 
day  by  the  position  of  the  sun,  as  the  Arabs  do 
now.  The  length  of  the  day  was  longer  in  sum- 
mer than  in  winter,  and  the  hour  longer  in  propor-

tion.  There  were  many  contrivances  for  measur- 
ing time,  such  as  dials,  gnomons  and  clepsydrse, 
wnicli  liad  long  been  known  by  other  nations. 
The  day  was  divided  into  four  parts  only  for  the 
Temple  service  (Acts  ii.  15;  iii.  1;  x.  9).  The  Sab- 
bath (a  day  of  rest),  at  the  end  of  the  week,  "was 
kept  up  by  the  patriarchs,  and  continued  by  the 
law  of  Moses,'  as  a  memorial  of  the  deUverance 
from  Egypt  (Deut.  v.),  and  was  a  day  of  joy  and 
rejoicing.  The  morning  and  evening  sacrfice  in 
the  Temple  were  doubled,  the  sliew-bread  changed 
for  fresh,  the  law  was  publicly  read  and  ex- 
pounded; and  this  custom,  simple  at  first,  finally 
developed  into  the  grand  ceremonials  of  the  Syna- 
gogue, especially  under  Ezra,  after  the  retmii  n'om 
Babylon.  The  resui-rection  of  our  Lord  Jesus,  the 
Christ,  occurred  on  the  first  day  of  the  week 
(John  XX.),  and  several  of  his  appearances  to  his 
friends  and  disciples  happening  on  that  day  also, 
the  day  of  Pentecost  in  that  year  fell  on  that  day, 
when  the  miraculous  gift  of  tongues  prepared  the 
apostles  for  their  peculiar  work  among  all  nations; 
therefore  it  was  adopted  as  the  day  for  stated 
meetings  of  the  believers,  and  called  the  Lord's 
day.  The  seventh  day,  the  seventh  month,  the 
seventh  year,  and  the  Year  of  Jubilee  (the  49th 
or  50th),  were  sacred,  and  had  their  festivals  and 
privileges.  The  seventh  month  contained  the 
Feast  op  Trumpets,  the  Day  of  Atonement 
and  the  Feast  op  Tabernacles  (which  was  the 
most  joyful  of  all  the  Hebrew  festivals),  and  the 
opening  of  the  New  Year.  On  the  seventh  year 
the  land  was  to  rest  (Ex.  xxiii.  10),  in  whicli  no 
field  was  to  be  tilled  nor  vineyard  dressed,  nor 
even  grain  gathered  that  had  sowed  itself,  nor 
grapes  plucked.  All  debts  were  released.  The 
Sabbatical  year  completed  the  Sabbatical  scale. 
It  began  on  the  seventh  month,  and  was  marked 
by  high  and  lioly  occupation,  connected  with  sacred 
reflection,  and  was  completed  m  the  Year  op  Ju- 
bilee. It  is  quite  certain  that  the  year  of  jubi- 
lee was  the  49th.  It  was  to  begin  on  the  tenth 
day  of  the  seventh  month,  at  the  sound  of  a  horn 
(trumpet)  all  through  the  land  (Lev.  xxv). 
The  laws  respecting  this  year  were:  1.  Rest  for 
the  soil;  2.  Restoration  of  land  to  its  original 
owner;  3.  Freedom  to  all  slaves,  whether  by  pov- 
erty or  other  causes.  A  notable  instance  of  the 
release  from  debt  is  recorded  in  Nehemiah  v.,  after 
the  captivity,  when  the  people  were  rebuilding  the 
walls.  There  were  several  eras  used  in  reckoning, 
by  vsTiters,  and  as  national  customs.  1.  The  Ex- 
odus (1  K.  vi.  1;  Num.  xxxiii.  38),  counting  from 
the  first  starting  out  of  Egypt. — 2.  The  foundation 
of  King  Solomon's  Temple. — 3.  The  captivity  of 
Jehoiachin  (Ezek.  i.  2;  xxix.  1;  2  K.  xxv.  27;  Jer. 
Iii.  31). — 4.  The  return  from  the  captivity  of  Baby- 
lon (Ez.  iii.  1,  8). — 5.  The  era  of  the  Seleucidse. — 
6.  The  year  of  liberatjpn  under  Simon  ISIaccabseus, 
marked  by  coins  (1  Mace.  xiii.  41).  And  the  years 
of  the  rei^n  of  each  king  in  his  own  time,  reckoned 
from  the  heginning  of  the  new  year  next  after  his 
accession.  The  original  recoi'ds  are  so  few,  and  so 
indefinite,  that  it  is  difficult  to  fix  on  the  precise 
date  of  any  event,  either  in  the  Old  or  tlie  New 
Testament.  The  Bible  does  not  give  a  connected 
chronology  from  Adam  down,  nor  from  Noali,  nor 
even  from  Abraham;  nor  is  there  any  apparent 
purpose  or  system  of  dates  that  we  can  find.  At 
one  time  it  was  expected  that  a  better  acquaintance 
with  the  originals  would  disclose  a  perfect  system 
of  chronology,  giving  periods,  years,  months,  and 
even  days;  but  such  close  study  has  unexpectedly 
shown  us  that  the  Bible  treats  "of  men  and  charac- 
ter, and  God's  dealing  with  man,  and  of  certain 
distinct  and  separate  periods  of  time  only  as  were 
occupied  in  the  passing  events  recorded.  The 
people  of  the  East,  and  the  Aralis  of  the  desert  in 
particular,  have  never  been  mathematical,  found- 
ing their  chronology  on  astronomy;  but  have  from 


the  first  regulated  their  calendar  by  observation 
only.  Since  they  did  not  have  the  exact  machinery 
of  our  modern  clocks  for  determining  the  precise 
times  of  the  sun's,  moon's  or  stars'  rising  and  set- 
ting, eclipses,  &c.  (which  are  the  foundation  of 
our  most  exact  calculations),  they  never  could 
have  had  more  than  a  moderate  degree  of  accuracy 
in  their  observations.  The  new  moon  would  be 
expected  on  a  certain  day,  and  the  precise  moment 
of  its  appearance  woiUd  depend  on  the  place  of 
observation,  on  a  hill  or  in  a  valley,  and  the  care- 
ful watch  and  good  eyesight  of  the  sentinel.  The 
true  figiu-es  of  the  original  Hebrew  chronology  are 
very  oljscure  in  many  instances,  because  there  are 
three  different  versions — the  Hebrew,  the  Samari- 
tan and  the  Septuagint — each  of  which  gives  a  dif- 
ferent series  of  figures  for  the  ages  of  the  patri- 
archs, as  shown  in  the  following

1.  Here  is  a  continuous  chronology  from  Adam 
to  Joseph,  subject  to  only  three  questions :  1.  Are 
the  numbers  given  in  either  version  of  the  text  gen- 
uine? If  so,  which  is  correct?  2.  What  was  Te- 
rah's  age  at  the  birth  of  Abraham?  3.  When  did 
the  430  years  (of  the  period  from  the  Promise  to 
the  Exodus)  begin?  A  synopsis  of  the  debates  on 
these  points  may  be  found  in  Smith  and  Ivitto. 
The  accuracy  of  the  original  Hebrew  is  not  doubted; 
but  the  alterations  cannot  be  pointed  out,  so  as  to 
harmonize  the  three  records  in  the  Hebrew,  the 
Septuagint,  and  the  Samaritan.  The  Hebrew  text, 
as  interpreted  by  Ussher,  is  adopted  here  for  con- 
venience.

CHKONOLOGT 


From  tho  number  572  we  may  take  the  average 
years  of  each  before  the  birth  of  the  next,  making 
a  sum  of  142,  and  tliis  will  leave  430.  To  the  366 
we  may  add  the  years  of  oppression  (Ex.  i.  8-22) 
after  Joseph  died,  say  04,  and  this  gives  the  num- 
ber required.  Joshua's  ancestry,  Irom  Ephraim, 
is  given  in  1  Chr.  vii.  23-27;  and  if  their  ages  were 
equal  to  their  brethren  of  the  other  tribes  men- 
tioned, 430  years  is  not  tt)o  long  a  period. 

The  specimen  of  ancient  Egyptian  papyrus  pre- 
served in  the  Bibliotheque  at  I'aris,  and  published 
\\\  fitc-iiimile  (pi.  V.  in  the  Astor  Library),  gives 
iuiiependent  and  disinterest^'d  evidence  on  the 
question  of  the  long  hfe  of  Jacob  and  others  of 


this  age.  At  the  close  of  the  essay  (on  morals) 
the  writer  says:  "  1  have  become  an  eider  on  the 
earth;  1  have  traversed  110  years  of  life  by  the  gift 
of  the  king  and  the  approval  of  the  elders,  fuTfil- 
ing  my  duty  toward  the  king  in  the  place  of  favor." 
The  inscriptions  at  Memphis  corroborate  this  ac- 
count, and  show  that  tlie  writer  Fiah-hotp,  was 
eldest  son  of  Axaa,  5th  king  of  the  16th  dynasty 
(B.  (J.  1900-1800),  whose  father's  age  must  liave 
been  at  least  130.  Manetho  also  verifies  the  same 
point.  The  increase  of  the  Jews  in  Egypt  was  from 
seventy  families  to  about  three  millions. 

From  Exodus  to  the  Foundation  of  King  Solo- 
mon's Temple,  480  years  (1  K.  vi.  1).

off  of  the  foreskin  of  man,  first  ])ractised  by  Abra- 
ham by  divine  command,  as  a  token  of  a  covenant 
between  God  and  man.  It  was  a  very  ancient  cus- 
tom founded  on  (supposed)  sanitary  laws,  by  the 
Egyptians  and  Ethiopians,  and  the  practise  is 
widespread  in  modern  days ;  the  Abyssinian  Chris- 
tians holding  to  the  rite' strictly.  The  Egyptian 
priests  were  required  to  observe  this  rite,  and  it 
was  only  strictly  binding  on  those  who  entered  the

priesthood.  So  it  became  the  badge  of  a  religion 
that  made  undue  account  of  outward  distinctions, 
and  merely  natural  virtues.  The  Hebrews  were  to 
practice  it  because  they  were  to  be  a  natioii  of 
priests  (Ex.  xix.  G),  and  it  was  to  signify  spiritual 
purity,  being  so  considered  by  the  leading  men, 
nuplying  a  call  to  a  holy  life  and  purity  of 
heart.  The  time  was  the  8th  day  after  birth; 
among  other  people  at  full  age — 20  years.  For- 
eigners on  adoption  into  the  Ilebrcw  nation  were 
recjuired  to  submit  to  it. 

€IS.    KiSH  (Acts  xiii.  21). 

€ISAI  (Esth.  xi.  2).    KiSH. 

CIS  TEKN.  A  dug  place,  for  the  water  of  a 
spring,  or  from  rain.  Some  were  built  up  of  stone 
and  cement,  and  the  best  were  cut  in  the  solid 
rock.  The  largest  are  called  pools,  such  as  Solo- 
mon's, the  Royal  Cistern,  Bethesda,  etc.  (See  Jer- 
usalem. )  A  wheel  is  used  to  pan  the  rope  over 
for  drawing  up  the  water,  alluded  to  in  Eccl.  xii.  6. 
Keeping  to  one's  own  sources  of  pleasure,  and  not 
meddling  with  the  property  of  others,  is  taught  in 
the  Proverbs  (v.  15),  by  the  figure  of  the  cistern. 
Idolatry  is  compared  to'broken  cisterns  ( Jer.  ii.  3) . 

CITTIMS.     Chittim  (1  Mace.  viii.  6) . 

CITIZEIf.  Among  Romans,  etc..  a  member  of 
the  state,  or  of  a  city.  Among  the  Hebrews  a 
member  of  the  nation  at  large.  Paul  was  an  in- 
stance of  one  born  to  the  rights  of  a  Roman  citizen, 
which  protected  and  benefited  him  on  three  occa- 
sions (Acts  vi.  37;  xxii.  25;  xxv.  11).  The  Roman 
law  made  two  classes  of  citizens — the  first  enti- 
titled  to  hold  office  and  vote,  and  carry  on  public 
and  private  business — the  second  to  enjoy  only  the 
protection  of  the  laws  as  a  free  man.  The  sacred 
law  was  the  basis  of  the  civil  among  the  Jews,  and 
citizenship  was  acquired  by  complying  with  the 
terms  of  the  covenant,  and  lost  by  certain  trans- 
gressions. Christians  are  counted  as  citizens  of 
the  celestial  state. 

CIT'Y.    Any  inhabited  place,  large  or  small. 

€L AH  'D A.  An  island  S.  W.  of  Crete  (Acts  xxvil. 
16).    Now  Gozzo. 

€LATI'DIA.  A  British  maiden;  wife  of  Pudens, 
daughter  of  King  Cogidubnus,  an  ally  of  Rome 
and  a  disciple  (2  Tim.  iv.  21). 

€LAU'DruS.  5th  emperor  of  Rome,  A.  D.  41  to 
54.  Tiberius  Claudius  Nero  Germanicus.  He  suc- 
ceeded Caligula.  The  famine  mentioned  in  Acts 
xi.  28,  happened  in  liis  reign;  and  he  banished  all 
Jews  from  Rome  (xvii.  2).  His  head  is  on  the 
coin  of  Cyprus.  Agrippina,  his  fourth  wife,  poi- 
soned him'. 


CAMEL  AND  HODAJ. 

€LAY.  A  beautiful  symbol  of  the  divine  power 
over  tlie  destinies  of  man  was  derived  from  the 
potter's  use  of  clay,  as  he  produced  such  elegant 
and  usefid  forms  from  such  a  crude  materiar(Is. 
Ixiv.  8;  Rom.  ix.  21).  "It  is  turned  as  clay  to  the 
seal"  (Job  xxxviii.  14),  refers  to  the  use  of  clay  in 


stopping  up  doors  in  tombs  or  granaries,  and  the 
use  of  a  scul  engraved  with  a  private  design  on  the 
soft  surface,  leavmg  its  impression  as  a  protection 
against  intrusion.  Bricks  were  stamped  also  as 
may  be  seen  on  the  numberless  specimens  from 
the  ruins.  Locks  on  the  storehouses  in  the  East 
are  now  further  secured  by  the  clay,  stamped  with 
a  seal. 


EGYPTIAN  DRESS. 

€LEA1T  and  TTNCLEAN.  Terms  of  frequent  oc- 
currence in  the  Bible,  concerning  the  rites  and 
usages  of  the  Abrahamic  covenant,  having  both  a 
natural  and  a  symbolical  meaning.  It  is  mentioned 
as  in  use  at  the  sacrifice  made  by  Noah  and  it  is 
probable  that  it  was  then  an  ancient  distinction. 
Animals,  birds,  beasts  and  reptiles  were  pro- 
nounced good  for  food  without  distinction  (Gen. 
ix.  3).  It  then  has  no  foundation  in  the  laws  of 
diet  or  health.  The  line  was  fixed  by  man  between 
the  wild,  obnoxious,  poison-fanged  animals,  filthy 
in  habit  and  suggestive  of  evil,"  and  the  tame,  do- 
cile creatures,  more  cleanly  in  their  habits  and 
more  akin  to  the  better  instmcts  of  mankind.  The 
Eg>T3tians sacrificed  dogs,  cats,  crocodiles,  etc.,  and 
held  them  as  sacred.  Moses,  to  separate  his  peo- 
ple from  those  pagans,  confined  sacrifices  to  ani- 
mals from  the  flock  and  herd,  sheep,  goats  and 
cattle,  and  to  the  dove  species  among  birds;  while, 
for  food,  a  larger  limit  was  allowed,  but  in  the 
same  time,  the  animals  allowed  being  those  that 
chew  the  cud  and  divide  the  hoof,  among  wild 
animals  only  the  deer  species,  and  of  birds,  a  few 
were  prohibited  by  name,  and  the  rest  allowed;  of 
fishes  those  that  had  both  fins  and  scales;  and  of 
insects,  locusts  and  grasshoppers.  The  unclean 
were  called  abominahons,  and  were  to  work  a  spir- 
itual defilement  if  eaten.  The  clean  and  unclean 
animals  had  a  counterpart  in  the  soul,  and  the  re- 
strictions laid  on  the  appetite  became  a  bit  and 
bridle  to  the  soul.  This  law  was  abolished  by  the 
Lord  in  a  vision  to  Peter  at  Joppa.  There  were 
other  laws  relating  to  ceremonial  impurity,  touch- 
ing certain  animals,  dead  bodies,  diseased  persons, 


furl,  rjjde,  push;  e.  f,  0,  silent;  9  ass;  9ha8  8h;*,<ihask;  gas  j;  gasin  ^et;  s  asz;  xasgz;  n  asm  linger,  link;  th  as  in  ttiine.

with  much  esteem  and  honor^  as  his  fellow  la- 
borer at  Philippi,  whose  name  (with  the  others) 
was  in  the  book  of  life.  He  is  said  to  have  been 
bishop  of  Rome  (Pope  Clemens  Romanus,  the 
third  from  Peter),  and  wrote  a  letter  to  the  Co- 
rinthians very  much  esteemed  by  the  ancients  and 
read  publicly  in  the  churches.  It  is  in  the  Alex- 
andrian MS.  copy  of  the  Scriptures  as  Codex  A. 

CLEO'PAS.  One  of  the  two  disciples  that  saw  Je-

CLIMATE 


WOMAN  BrDINO. 

CLIMATE.  There  is  no  country  in  the  world 
which  has  such  a  variety  of  climate  and  temperature, 
within  the  same  limits,  as  Palestine.  On  Mts. 
Hermon  and  Lebanon  there  is  perpetual  snow; 
and  at  Jericho,  only  60  or  80  miles,  there  is  tropical 
heat.  The  hills  of  Bashan,  Gilead,  Galilee,  Sama- 
ria, and  Judaea,  are  the  home  of  forests,  vines,  fig- 
trees,  and  all  kinds  of  fruits  and  vegetables;  and 
the  plains  produce  bananas,  oranges,  etc.  From 
Jerusalem  to  Jericho,  in  a  direct  fine,  is  about  15 
miles.  At  one  place  snow  and  ice  sometimes  are 
seen  in  the  winter,  but  at  the  other  frost  is  never 
knovm.  Frost  is  also  unknown  in  the  plains  of 
Sharon  and  Philistia.  The  temperature  at  Engedi 
is  as  high  as  that  of  Thebes,  in  Egypt.     Palm? 

g'ow  as  far  north  as  Beirut,  and  bear  fruit  also  at 
amascus  in  sheltered  positions..  The  greatest 
heat  on  the  hills  of  Judsea,  Hebron,  and  Jerusa- 
lem, is  seldom  above  90'^  Fahrenheit,  and  the  cold 
only  once  so  low  as  28°  in  five  years  {Barclay.).

This  calendar  is  mainly  true  of  Jerusalem  and 
the  hill  country.  Souio  weeks  allowance  must  be 
made  for  the  "higher  temperature  of  the  Jordan 
valley,  and  the  plains  by  the  Mediterranean  sea. 

Rain.  The  average  rain-fall  at  Jerusalem  for 
the  year  is  56;  in  very  wet  seasons  it  has  gone 
higluT,  85,  44 — (56  average.  The  average  in  Lon- 
don is  only  25,  in  the  highlands  of  England  60,  in 
New  York,  62,  and  the  highest  in  the  lake  country 
65.  There  is  a  wet  and  a  dry  season.  In  the 
wet,  the  winter,  the  rains  fall  in  two  series  of 
showers,  called  the  early  (yoirh)  and  the  latter 
rain  (jmalkosh),  with  occasional  lighter  showers 
between,  and  many  clear  sunny  days.  The  loss 
of  rain  is  sure  to  affect  the  harvest,  and  a  total 
want  of  rain  would  destroy  all  crops  (Amos  iv. 
7).  From  April  to  November  there  is  scarcely 
ever  a  cloud.  The  dews  are  heavy  often  like  a 
small  shower.  Chilly  nights,  succeeding  hot  days 
have  always  been  a  constant  feature  in  the  East 
(Gen.  xxxi.  40).  The  different  climate  of  Jericho 
has  been  often  noticed.  Josephus  says,  and  it  is 
true  novF,  that  linen  clothing  can  be  worn  at  Jere- 
cho  when  there  is  snow  in  the  hills  around  Jerusa- 
lem. The  plains  along  the  sea  shore  are  but  little 
hotter  than  the  hills.  Beirut  is  much  hotter  the 
year  round  than  Jerusalem.  In  the  desert  are 
found  the  greatest  extremes  of  heat  and  cold. 
In  winter  the  heat  vnW  be  greater  than  our  sum- 
mer in  the  day,  and  the  night  colder  than  our  ave- 
rage wnter.  The  winds  are  very  regular  m  their 
season  and  effects.  West  or  S.  W .  wind  invariably 
brings  rain  in  winter  (Luke  xii.  54).  The  North 
wind  is  cool,  but  rare.  The  South  wind  is  always 
hot  (55;  Job  xxxvii.  17).  The  East  wind  is  very 
rare  in  the  winter,  and,  blowing  on  the  desert  in 
summer,  is  dry  and  hot  (Ez.  xvii.  10;  Hos.  xiii. 
15).  In  the  Jordan  valley  there  is  an  under  and 
an  upper  current.  The  under  current  blows  down 
the  valley  in  winter  and  up  in  summer.  There 
are  no  East  and  West  winds  in  the  Arabah. 

CLOUD.  See  Climate.  Pillar  of  a 
cloud.  The  peculiar  sign  and  symbol  of 
the  Lord's  presence  with  his  ancient 
people,  during  the  exodus  (Ex.  xiii.  21), 
as  of  a  cloud  by  day  and  of  fire  by  night. 
It  disappeared  (or  is  not  mentioned) 
from  the  passage  of  the  river  Jordan 
until  the  dedication  of  Solomon's  temple 
(2  Chr.  v.  13),  and  then  only  as  a  mo- 
mentary sign  for  that  occasion.  The 
figurative  use  of  the  cloud  has  reference 
to  the  peculiar  climate.  "A  cloud  of  the 
latter  rain"  (Prov.  xvi.  15)  means  the 
gladdening  influence  of  the  king's  coun- 
tenance wiien  well  favored  toward  his 
subjects.  The  commanding  the  clouds 
to  rain  not  was  a  sign  of  desolation  (Is. 
V.  6;  Deut.  xi.  17).  Dark  clouds  were 
emblems  of  gloom  and  sadness  (Joel  ii. 
2).  Swift  wind-driven  clouds,  with 
lightning,  were  an  emblem  of  Jehovah 
(Ps.  civ.  3).  Their  height  expressed  loftiness  (Ps. 
Ivii.  10). 

CLOUTED  (Josh.  ix.  5).    Mended.    Spotted. 

CLOUTS  (Jer.  xxxviii.  11,  12).  Cast-off  rags  or 
torn  clothes. 

QNI'DUS.  Caria,  S.  W.,  in  Asia  Minor  (Acts 
xxvii.  7).  Passed  by  Paul.  Celebrated  for  the 
worship  of  the  goddess  Venus  (Strabo  xiv.  965) . 


COACHES  (Is.  Ixvi.  20). 

GOAL  (vy.uhks— black,  and  gahheleth— &?mv4- 
ing).  Thei'e  are  veins  of  coal  in  Mt.  Lebanon,  a 
few  miles  from  Beirut,  and  it  is  probable  that  the 
Hebrews  and  Phoenicians  knew  and  used  it. 
But  charcoal  must  have  been  specially  meant  in 
Psalm  cxx.  4,  in  coals  of  juniper;  and  onl.\  char- 
coal was  used  in  the  censer  at  the  temple  service. 

COAST,    border,  bound  (Ex.  x.  4;  xiv.  19). 

COCK.  Domestic  poultry  are  not  mentioned  in 
the  O.  T.,  unless  in  Is.  xxh.  17,  18.  The  com- 
passion of  the  Lord  towards  Jerusalem  is  com- 
pared to  the  tender  care  of  a  hen  over  her  chickens 
(Matt.  xxii.  ."57;  Luke  xiii.  34).  The  cock-crowing  of 
Matt.  xiii.  35,  refers  to  a  certain  hour  of  the  night, 
just  before  dawn,  and  the  special  signal  given  at 
that  hour  to  Peter  (Matt.  xxvi.  34,  74).  They  are 
on  the  monuments  in  AssjTia  but  not  in  Egypt; 
also  on  the  Etruscan  pottery  of  great  antiquity 
(Mrs.  Gray's  Efniri(i),  and  on  the  coins  of  Greeks 
and  Romans.  The  aiuicnit  Britons  kept  them,  but 
did  not  think  it  right  to  eat  them  (Caesar's  Wars,  5). 

COFFER.  A  box  hanging  from  the  side  of  a  cart 
(1  Sam.  vi.  8,  11,  15;  Ezr.  vi.  2).     "  In  a  coffer." 

C0LH5ZEH  {all-seeing).  A  man  of  Judah  (Neh,

(Acts  xvi.  12).  A  body  of  citizens  sent  out  to 
found  a  new  state  for  themselves,  under  the  same 
laws  and  rights. 

COL'ORS.  There  are  about  twenty  different 
words,  meaning  color,  in  the  O.  T.;  but  only  white, 
black,  red,  yellow  or  green  are  distinctly  named. 
In  the  N.  T.  there  are  seven  words  meaning  color. 
1.  Leben,  white  (Lebanon,  white  mts).  Milk  is 
leben,  and  so  is  manna,  snow,  horses,  clothing,  the 
moon,  the  pale  face,  and  white  hair.  It  was  the 
symbol  of  joy,  of  innocence,  purity;  the  clothing 
of  angels,  saints,  and  of  Jesus. — 2.  Shahor,  black: 
as  hair,  complexion  of  the  sick,  horses,  mourners' 
robes,  clouded  sky,  night,  turbid  brook;  and  as  op- 
posed to  white,  the  symbol  of  evil.— 3.  Adorn,  red 


ASSTBIAN  QAiLBY. 

(Adam).  Blood,  pottage  of  lentiles,  a  horse,  wine, 
complexion,  leprous  spot,  a  grape-vine;  and  the 
symbol  of  bloodshed. — 4.  Argamaii,  purple.  Made 
at  Tyre,  from  a  shell-fish.  The  color  was  only  a 
drop  in  the  throat  of  each  animal.  It  was  purple, 
violet,  or  blue,  according  to  the  fixing.  Some  say 
the  violet  (or  blue)  was  had  from  a  different  shell- 
fish, and  called— 5.  Tekeleth,  blue.    The  deep  blue

of  the  sky,  violet,  and  sometimes  as  black;  the 
ribands  and  fringes  of  tlie  Hebrew  dress  (Num.  xv. 
38),  tapestries  of  Persia  (robes  of  perfection  in  Ez. 
xxiii.  12). — 6.  Shani,  shine  (as  scarlet);  tolaath, 
worm  scarlet  (our  word  vermilion  means  worrn 
color).  Lips,  in  Cant.  iv.  3,  fire;  scarlet  robes  were 
luxuries,  and  appropriate  for  a  warrior's  cloak 
(Na.  ii.  3).  The  vermillion  of  the  ancients  was

the  monuments,  where  it  has  preserved  its  tint  for 
many  ages. 


chief  word),  with  many  definitions,  in  alphabeti- 
cal order,  with  a  reference  to  the  place  where  each 
may  be  found.  They  are  useful  for  comparing 
passages  bearing  on  the  same  subject,  which  may 
explain  each  other,  and  for  finding  the  place  where 
any  particular  text  or  subject  is  located.  So,  in  a 
few  minutes,  all  the  texts  on  the  subject  of  the 
Lord's  Supper  may  be  found  and  read.  The  first 
work  of  the  kind  was  made  by  Antony  of  Padua 
(born  A.  D.  1195,  died  1231).  Cruden's  is  the  best 
now  in  use. 


€OLOS'SE,  Colossi.  On  the  Lycus,  a  branch  of 
the  Mgeander,  in  Phrygia,  near  Laodicea  (Col.  ii. 
1;  iv.  13) .  Phny  (Nat.  Illst.  v.  41)  describes  it  as 
a  celebrated  city  in  Paul's  time.  Paul  founded  a 
chui'ch  here,  on  his  third  tour.  The  ruins  of  the 
ancient  city  are  near  the  modern  village  of  Chonas. 

COM'FORTER.  A  name  given  to  the  Holy  Spirit 
(2  Sam.  X.  3). 

eOM'MERCE  (trade,  Heb.  kekeit,  traffic).  The 
first  record  of  bargain  and  sale  is  of  Abraham's 
purchase  of  the  burial-place  for  Sarah  of  Ephron, 
at  Hebron,  for  400  shekels  weight  (as  sovereigns 
are  weighed  at  the  Bank  of  England)  of  silver. 
Job  throws  much  light  on  the  commerce,  manufac- 
tures and  science  of  liis  age.  He  mentions  gold, 
iron,  brass  (copper  or  bronze),  lead,  crystal,  jewels, 
weaving,  merchants,  gold  from  Ophir,  "topazes  from 
Ethiopia,  building  of  swift  ships,  writing  in  books, 
engraving  on  plates  of  metal  and  stone,  and  fine 
seal  or  gem  engraving;  fishing  with  hooks,  nets, 
spears:  harp,  organ,  and  names  of  stars.  The  his- 
tory 01  Sidon  aiid  Tyre  is  a  record  of  commercial 
affairs;  and  that  of  the  building  of  King  Solomon's 
Temple  is  also.  Foreigners  were  the  principal 
traders  before  the  Captivity,  but  after  that,  and  es- 
pecially after  the  destruction  of  Jerusalem  by  Titus, 
the  Jews  have  been  an  entire  people  of  traffic. 

COM'PEL  (Mark  xv.  21).    To  press  into  service.

eO'NEY  (Heb.  shaphan,  rabbit).  The  Syrian 
Hyrax.  Its  habits  are  very  much  like  the  rabliit, 
only  it  is  a  little  larger .  Its  teeth  and  hoofs  (instead 
of  claws  on  each  toe),  are  like  those  of  the  rhino- 
ceros (Lev.  xi.  5;  Deut.  xiv.  7;  Ps.  civ.  18;  Prov. 
XXX.  26) 

CONFECTION  (a  compound) ,  (Ex.  xxx.  35). 

€ON-GRE-GA'-TION  (edah) .  The  Hebrew  people 
collected  as  a  holy  community,  held  by  religious 
bonds  (for  political  ends).  Circumcision  and  full 
age  (20),  were  the  requisites  for  membership, 
wliicn  might  be  forfeited  for  certain  faults  (Deut. 
xxiii.  1-8).  During  the  Exodus  the  whole  nation 
could  gather  from  their  tents,  but  when  they  occu- 
pied the  country  on  both  sides  of  Jordan,  it  became 
a  necessity  to  appoint  representatives,  who  are 
called,  in  Num.  i.  16,  persons  "  wont  to  be  called  to 
the  Congregation";  and,  in  xvi.  2,  they  are  styled 
"chiefs  of  the  Congregation,  who  are  called  to  the 
Convention";  and,  in  Ex.  xxxviii.  25,  their  name 
is,  "those  deputed  to  the  assembly"  (numbered  in 
A.  v.).  Besides  these,  the  heads  of  families  (pa-

met  at  tho  door  of  tlio  tabi'inaclo,  or  in  some  other 
iioti'd  places,  as  Sheeheiu  by  Joshua;  Mizpeh  by 
the  Levite  (.rudii.  xx.  i.);  ('ilgal  by  Samuel.  In 
tlie  Ex()(his  Ihi'sound  of  the  trumpet  ealled  the 
assembly  together  (Num.  x.  2-4),  but  in  Canaan 
messengers  were  used  of  necessity.  It  did  not 
have  legislative  powers,  for  the  law  of  Moses  was 
suprenus  but  bij-ldirs  eould  be  made.  They  could 
not  lay  taxes.  Tlu'  divine  law  was  submitted  to 
the  as.sembly  for  acceptance  or  rejection  (Ex.  xix. 
a-9,  xxiv.  :?).  Chiefs  were  conlirmed  in  their  office 
(or  rejected)  by  this  body  (Num.  xxvii.  19;  1  Sam. 
xi.  15,  2  Sam .  v.  etc. ) .  The  assembly  could  arrest  the 
execution  of  the  king's  sentence,  as  Jonathan  was 
"rescued"  (2  Sam.  xiv.  44,4.5),  by  the  action  of 
the  Mkih.  Peace  and  war  with  foreign  powers 
were  considered  in  it  (Josh.  ix.  15, 18)  It  was  the 
high  court  of  appeal,  and  had  control  of  death- 
pi'iialties.  After  Jeroboam's  usurpation,  it  was 
called  the  C.  of  Jerusalem  (2  Chr.  xxx.  2),  or  of 
Judali  (v.  25).  It  linally  was  reduced  to  the  72 
members  of  the  Sanhedrin.

dated  many  centuries  back.    See  Money. 

CORAL  {loftii).  Choral  is  mentioned  only  twice 
in  Scripture  (.lob  xxviii.  IS;  Ez.  xxvii.  16).  It  often 
occurs  in  ancient  Egyptian  jewelry.  The  coral 
which  is  described  as  being  brought  from  Syria  wa,s 
probably  that  of  the  Red  Sea  where  coral  abounds. 

CORBAN  (rt  scicred  gift).  A  present  devoted  to 
God  or  to  his  temple  (Matt,  xxiii.  IK).  The  Jews 
were  reproved  by  Christ  for  cruelty  to  their  parents 
in  making  a  corban  of  what  should  have  been  theirs 
(Mark  ii.  7). 

CORIANDER.  An  aromatic  plant  found  in  Egypt, 
Persia  and  India,  mentioned  twice  in  Scripture 
(Ex.  xvi.  31;  Num.  xi.  7) 

CORD.  The  word  cord  means  line,  band,  rope, 
thread,  string,  etc.  It  is  made  of  various  mate- 
rials according  to  its  uses.  Strips  of  camel  hide  are 
still  used  by  the  Bedawins.  The  finer  sorts  were 
made  of  llax  (Is.  xix.  9);  others  of  the  fibre  of  the 
date  palm,  and  of  reeds  and  rushes.    The  tent 


CONI'AH.    Jehoiachtn  (Jer.  xxii.  24).

Cnidus  (Acts  xxi.  1)  21  ms.  long,  N.  E.  to  S.  W., 
and  6  ms.  wide.  Was  an  important  island  in  Jew- 
ish history  from  early  times  (1  Mace.  xv.  23;  Jos. 
Ant.  xiv.  7  §  2).    Stanchio. 

COPPER.  (Heb.  nehosheth).  Copper  was  and 
is  now  used  more  extensively  in  the  East  than  any 
other  metal.  There  is  no  certain  mention  of  iron 
in  the  Scriptures,  and  all  kinds  of  instruments, 
weapons  and  tools  must  have  been  made  of  copper 
or  bronze,  which  is  a  mixture  of  copper  and  tin. 
Wherever  brass,  iron  and  steel  are  mentioned  cop- 
per was  the  metal  meant  in  the  original.    Copper 


being  an  image  of  the  human  'body,  the  cords 
whicli  held  it  represented  the  principle  of  life  (Job 
iv.  21).  For  Icadinti'  or  binding  annuals  (Ps.  xviii. 
27).  For  bow-strings  made  of  catgut  (Ps.  xi.  2). 
A  line  of  inheritance  (Josh.  xvii.  14;  xix.  9). 

CORINTH'.  On  the  isthmus  that  joins  Pelopon- 
nesus to  Greece.  The  rock,  Acrocorinthos,  south 
of  the  city,  stood  2,000  feet  above  the  sea,  on  the 
broad  top  of  which  there  was  once  a  town.  The 
Acropolis  of  Athens  can  be  seen  from  it,  45  miles 
(Liv.  xiv.  28).  It  has  two  harbors:  Cenchr^a 
(now  Kenkries),  on  the  Saronic  gulf,  ly^  ms.  dis- 
tant, east;  and  Lech^eum,  on  the  Gvilph  of  Le- 
panto,  \yi  ms.  west  (Strabo  viii.  6)-  Corinth  was 
the  natural  capital  of  Greece,  and  was  the  com- 
mercial centre.  Eminent  for  painting,  sculpture, 
and  works  in  metal  and  pottery.  Famous  for  a 
temple  to  Venus  of  great  wealth  and  sphmdor,  the 
most  ancient  in  Greece.  Was  the  military  centre 
during  the  Achaian  league.  Destroyed  by  the  Ro- 
mans, B.  c.  146,  and  after  100  years  of  desolation 
the  new  city  visited  by  Paul  was  built  by  Julius 
(!fesar,  and  peopled  with  freedmen  from  Rome 
(Pausanias— Strabo).  Paul  lived  here  eighteen 
months,  and  becauu^  acciuainted  with  Aquila  and 
Priscilla.  The  Posidonium,  the  sanctuary  of  Nep-

were  celebrated,  every  other  year,  and  gave  Paul 
some  of  Ills  most  striking  imagery.  It  was  N.  E. 
of  the  city,  near  the  harbor  of  Schoenas,  now  Kal- 
amald,  on  the  Saronic  gulf  (1  Cor.  ix.  24,  26). 
The  foot-races  were  run  in  the  stadium;  the  box-

€ORINTH'IANS.  The  people  of  Corinth.  For 
Paul's  epistles  to,  see  Paul. 

eOR'-MO-EANT.  The  cormorant  (Heb.  shalak, 
Lev.  xi.  17;  Deut.  xiv.  17);  and  Pehcan  (Heb. 
KAATH,  Ps.  cii.  6).  Common  in  Syria,  among  the 
rocks  on  the  coasts. 

CORN.  A  term  for  all  kinds  of  grain.  The 
grains  and  loaves  of  Indian  corn  (maize),  were 
found  under  the  head  of  an  Egyptian  mummy, 
and  it  is  supposed  to  be  mentioned  by  Homer  and 
Theophrastus.  The  offering  in  Lev.  ii.  14,  was  of 
green  corn,  roasted,  which  was  eaten  with  oil,  etc. 
(ver.  15).  The  "seven  ears  of  corn"  on  one  stalk 
is  possible,  and  has  been  noticed  (N.  Y.  Evening 
Post,  Aug.  26,  1863)  lately  in  this  country  and  is 
in  accord  with  the  proper  character  of  maize,  but 
not  of  wheat,  and  we  may  so  understand  the 
dream  interpreted  by  Joseph. 

eOR-NE'LIUS.  A  Roman  centurion,  commander 
of  100  (Acts  X.  1).  He  seems  to  have  worshiped 
the  true  God  before  his  conversion  (x.  2),  and  not 
the  pagan  deities.  He  was  the  first  Gentile  con- 
vert, and  was  received  by  Peter. 

CORNER.  The  Levitical  law  gave  a  portion  of 
the  field  called  a  "corner"  to  the  poor,  and  the 
right  to  carry  off  what  was  left,  also  the  gleanings 
of  the  trees  and  the  vines  (Lev.  xix.  9) .  See  also 
Ruth,  Gleaning. 

COR'NER  STONE.  A  stone  of  size  and  impor- 
tance in  the  corner  of  a  building,  uniting  two  walls. 
This  is  laid  with  ceremonies  in  large  buildings. 
Christ  is  the  corner  stone  of  our  salvation  (Eph. 
ii.  20;  1  Pet.  ii.  6;  Matt.  xxi.  42). 


CO'SAM  (a  diviner).  Son  of  Elmodam,  in  the  line 
of  Joseph  (Luke  iii.  28). 

COTES.    Enclosures  for  sheep  (2  Chr.  xxxii.  28) .

ing curtains  of  calico,  in 
stri])es,  and  padded,  are 
used,  in  India,  as  a  sub- 
stitute for  doors."  In 
the  king  of  Delhi's  pal- 
ace there  is  a  roof  sui> 
ported  by  beautiful  pil- 
lars,  between  which 
hangs  striped  and  pad- 
ded curtains,  easily  roll- 
ed up  or  removed.  Some 
of  the  passages  where 
fine  linen  is  said,  in  our 
version,  cotton  was  prob- 
ably the  article  meant 
in  the  original. 

COUL'TER  (1  Sam. 
xiii.  20,  21).  "Plow- 
share." 

COUN'CIL.  An  as- 
sembly of  people,  ru-

COVENANT  (Heb.  berith).  Contracts  between 
men,  and  between  God  and  men.  Various  rites 
were  used:  joining  hands  (Ez.  xvii.  18);  by  an 
oath  (Gen.  xxi.  31);  by  a  heap  of  stones;  (ib.  xxxi. 
46);  by  a  feast  (ib.  xxvi.  30);  by  sacrificmg  vic- 
tims, dividing  the  parts,  and  both  parties  to  the 
covenant  walking  between  the  parts  of  the  sacrifice 
(xv.  8-17);  and,  more  common  and  above  aU  oth- 
ers, eating  salt  (Num.  xviii.  19;  Lev.  ii.  13). 

The  covenants  between  God  and  men  were  also 
ratified  by  signs.  By  the  sacrifice,  when  a  symbol 
of  deity,  a  smoking  furnace  and  a  burning  lamp, 
passed  "between  the  parts  (Gen.  xv.l7);  by  the  12 
loaves  on  the  table  of  shew-bread  (Lev.  xxiv.  6-8);

CRE-A-TION.  The  origin  of  aU  things,  material 
and  living,  in  the  world,  and  this  heavens  around  it 
(Gen.  i;  Ps.  cxlviii.  5).  When  rightly  understood 
God's  works  and  His  Word  are  in  harmony.  The 
Mosaic  account  in  Genesis  opens  with  a  notice 
of  the  work  of  God  in  the  original  creation  of  the 
world  and  the  heavens,  in  the  vastly  remote  past,

and  passes  at  once  to  the  final  preparation  of  the 
earth  for  man's  occupation,  whicli  lias  extended 
through  six  (goolugioal)  periods  of  unknown  ex- 
tent, which  are  called  days.  It  is  supposed  by  the 
geologist  that  the  first  formations  were  rocks, 
either  in  water  by  deposit,  or  both  water  and  fire. 
There  are  traces  of  living  tilings  in  the  rocks,  called 
fosniU,  and  they  are  without  eyes;  perhaps  because 
there  was  no  light— for  hght  was  made  after  the 
heavier  materials.  Both  vegetables  and  animals 
appear  at  the  same  time,  lliese  oldest  rocks  are 
caUed  the  CAMBRIAN,  and  are  5  miles  thick. 

The  next  in  the  series  is  the  SILURIAN,  of  sedi- 
ment, whose  thickness  is  6  miles.  Fossils  are 
very  numerous,  and  of  low  types,  having  no  ani- 
mal with  vertebrae  (back-bone),  except  a  few  fishes 
on  the  very  top.  Vegetation  first  appears  in  tiiis 
place.  There  was  light,  and  there  were  eyfs  in  the 
living  things.  The  firmament  (expanse)  divided 
the  waters  above  (clouds)  from  the  waters  below 
(the  ocean) . 

The  third  in  the  series  is  the  OLD  RED  SAND- 
STONE, which  marks  the  time  when  the  great 
mountain  ranges  of  the  world  were  lifted  into 
their  present  position.  Sedimentary,  and  two  miles 
thick,  and  having  fossils  of  animals  found  in  the 
other  two,  and  of  vertebrates.  Dry  land  appeared, 
grass,  herbs  and  trees.    No  land  animals. 

The  fourth  was  the  CARBONIFEROUS  (coal 
bearing),  in  which  we  find  coal,  minerals,  lime- 
stone. Coal  is  made  of  wood,  and  the  fossil  wood 
found  in  the  coal  series  does  not  show  the  riiws 
which  we  now  find  in  all  wood  as  marks  of  the  yearly 
growth,  which  is  evidence  of  dense  fogs  and  very 
pale  light.  The  lifting  of  the  fogs  towards  the 
end  of  this  period,  letting  tlie  sunshine  on  the 
earth,  is  described  by  Moses  as  the  events  of  the 
fourth  day.  The  fossil  remains  in  these  rocks  are 
the  same  at  the  equator  and  ever>^vhere,  indicating 
a  uniform  heat  all  over  the  earth.  Animal  life  on 
land  is  first  seen:  insects,  such  as  beetles,  scor- 
pions, and  reptiles — such  as  frogs. 

The  fifth  .series  was  the  PERMIAN,  which  has 
remains  of  a  higher  order  of  vegetation  and  of  ani- 
mals, such  as  the  smcriam  (lizards),  and  bii'ds, 
whose  fossils  are  in  the  NEW  RED  SANDSTONE 
of  this  series. 

The  TRIAS  and  OOLITE  show  fossils  of  more 
advanced  orders,  both  vegetable  and  animal. 
Palm,  pine,  cypress,  insects,  and  three  kinds  of 
lizards,  called  by  Moses  "  the  moving  creature  that 
hath  life" — a  better  translation  of  the  original 
being  "the  reptile  that  hath  the  breath  of  life  " — 
and  also  great  sea  monsters  (called  whales  in  Gene- 
sis). The  fossils  of  these  animals  exist  in  such 
amazing  numbers  as  to  give  the  name  age  of  reptile's 
to  this  day,  ■which  was  the  fifth  in  the  account  of 
Moses. 


of  similar  races  living  on  the  earth  before  man  was 
placed  here. 

The  discovery  of  Hint  implements  (hatchets, 
spears,  arrow-heads  and  wedges)  in  the  gravel 
quarries  of  Abbeville  and  Amiens,  France,  does 
not  carry  back  the  history  of  man  into  the  age  of 
the  extinct  species  of  elephant,  whose  bones  were 
found  in  the  same  deposit,  because  no  liuman 
bones  were  found  there. 

The  trutli  of  the  Mosaic  account  is  thus  pecu- 
liarly shown  in  the  records  of  the  rocks. 

The  account  is  true  as  it  woiUd  appear  if  shown 
to  a  man  in  a  vision,  every  item  agreeing  with  th« 
oi^tical  appearance*. 


The  next  was  the  CHALK,  which  has  but  few 
remains,  while  the  Tertiary,  which  followed,  is 
full  of  mammals,  such  as  cattle,  beasts  and  creep- 
ing things,  which  mark  the  progress  of  the  sixth 
day,  which  ended  on  the  creation  of  man. 

There  are  no  fossil  remains  of  man  among  all 
the  va.st  number  of  living  things  in  all  the  series. 
And  there  are  no  animals  now  living  on  the  earth 
whose  origin  cannot  be  traced  in  the  fossil  remains 


It  may  be  that  there  was  a  race  of  men  living 
on  the  earth  before  the  birth  of  Adam  ;  and  if  so, 
the  passages  which  seem  to  imply  other  races  be- 
sides Adam's  would  have  an  explanation.  The 
several  species  of  men,  with  their  distinct  lan- 
'  guages,  indicate  moi-e  than  one  origin. 

The  most  skeptical  scientist  of  tlie  present  day 
admits  that  the  ])reath  of  life  w^as  breathed  into  at 
least  one  original  form— if  not  three  or  four— and 
that  is  the  whole  question.    God  did  create  a  living 
being,  or  several ;  and  since  the  most  careful  ex- 
i  amination  shows  that  species  and  groups  of  ani- 
mals were  from  the  first— in  the  oldest  rocks,  and 
in  all  of  them — distinct,  as  distinct  as  they  are 
now,  and  so  may  have  been  created  each  by  itself, 
"  aftSer  its  own  kind."    The  history  of  the  past  is 
proved  true  by  the  discoveries  of  the  present. 
I  However  short'the  account,  the  ord^  of  the  events 
I  is  correct,  according  to  science. 
I     CRES'CENS  (gromjig),  (2  Tim.  iv.  10).    One  of 
j  the  seventy  disciples.    An  assistant  of  Paul. 

CRETE.  Caitoia.  S.  of  the  Archipelago;  ICO  ms. 
j  long  from  E.  to  W.,  and  6  to  35  ms.  wide.  Homer 
says  it  had  100  cities  (Iliad  ii.  649;  Virgil,  M.  iii. 
106).  Minos,  the  great  legislator,  was"  a  native. 
Very  mountainous,  lint  full  of  fruitful  valleys. 
There  was  a  very  early  connection  with  the  Jews 
(1  Sam.  XXX.  14;  2  Sam.  viii.  18;  Ez.  xxv.  16;  Zeph. 
h,  6;  1  Mace.  x.  67,  xv.  23;  Jos.  Ant.  xvii.  12,  §  1).

CRIS'PTJS  (niHedr).  Ruler  of  the  Jewish  sjTia- 
gogue  (Acts  xviii.  8). 

CROCODILE  (Heb.  leviathan).  The  Jewish 
translations  of  Job  xli.  gives  crocodile  for  leviathan, 
and  the  description  is  very  poetical  as. well  as  true. 
Herodotus  says  the  Egyptians  paid  divine  honors 
to  this  reptile,  keeping  a  tame  one,  whose  ears 
were  hung  with  rings  and  fore-paws  circled  with 
bracelets;  and  when  he  died  they  embalmed  his 
body.  The  worshir*  began  in  the" fear  of  man  for

CROSS 


66 


CUP 


CROSS.  An  upright  stake,  with  one  or  more 
cross-pieces,  on  which  persons  were  suspended  for 
punishment.  It  was  an  emblem  of  pain,  guilt  and 
ignominy,  but  has  been  adopted  by  Christians  as 
the  most  glorious  badge  of  a  servant  and  follower 
of  the  Christ,  who  was  crucified  on  it.  Constan- 
tine  was  the  first  emperor  who  adopted  it  as  an 
ensign,  whose  coins  bear  its  form,  with  mono- 
grams of  Christ  or  of  Constantino.  The  image  was 
adde(l  to  the  cross,  forming  the  crucifix,  in  the  Hth 
century.  The  term  cross  was  used  for  self-denial 
by  Jesus  and  others  (Matt.  xvi.  24).  See  cut,  p.  22. 


CROWN.  Originally  the  band  or  ribbon  about 
the  head  or  hair  of  a' king  or  a  priest.  The  orna- 
mented cap  differed  in  style  in  every  country,  as  is 
shown  on  the  sculptures 'and  coins.  A  wreath  of 
leaves  crowned  the  winners  in  the  Grecian  games. 
The  final  inheritance  of  the  saints  is  figured  as  ((, 
crown  of  rir/hteousness  (3  Tim.  iv.  s.).  The  figures 
are  of  crowns  from  Egvpt:  1.  TTpper  E.;  2.  Lower 
E.;  3.  Upper  and  Lower  united;  4.  Assyria;  5. 
Assyria  (Sardanapalus  3d.);  6.  Assyrian  (Sen- 
nacherib); 7.  Tigranes  (Syria);  8.  At  Persepolis; 
9.  Crown  of  leaves,  Roman  coin  of  Galba.  Tlie 
Roman  soldiers  crowned  Jesus  with  a  wreath  of 
thorn  twigs,  made  from  what  is  now  called  Christ's 
thorn  '(zizyphus),  and  by  the  Arabs  mtbk,  the 
jujube  tree.  It  is  very  abundant,  and  forms  dense 
thorny  hedges  (growing  or  laid  in  rows  two  or 
three  feet  high),'  through  which  no  large  animal 
can  pass. 

CRUCIFIX'ION.  Putting  a  person  to  death  on  a 
cross  was  a  very  common  practice  in  ancient  days, 
as  hanging  is  now.  Jesus  was  condemned  to  the 
cross  by  the  Sanhedrin  for  blaspliemy,  and  by  Pi- 
late for  sedition  against  Cfesar.  The  scarlet  robe, 
crown  of  thorns,  and  other  insults  were  the  inven- 
tions of  those  engaged  in  the  execution,  and  were 
peculiar  to  his  case.  Whipping  was  a  part  of  the 
punishment,  but  in  the  case  of  Jesus  was  not  the 
legal  act,  being  applied  before  sentence.  The  suf- 
ferer was  to  carry  his  cross,  or  a  part  of  it.  The 
clothes  were  perquisites  to  the  guards.  A  cup  of 
stu])efying  licjuor  was  often  given  in  mercy,  just 
before  the  hands  and  feet  were  nailed.  The  body 
was  often  left  to  waste  away  naturally  on  the 
cross,  or  be  eaten  by  birds  and  beasts,  by  the  Ro- 


mans, but  they  allowed  the  Jews  to  bui-y  their 
dead  on  account  of  the  law  of  Moses  (Deut.  xxl. 
22,  23).    Constantino  abolished  crucifixion. 

CRUSE  (Heb.  tsappahath,  a  flask).  A  small 
vessel  for  holding  water  and  other  liquids  (1  Sam. 
xxvi.  11, 12,  16),  still  used  in  the  East. 


GATE   AT   SIDON. 

CRYSTAL.  Three  Hebrew  words,  1.  zekdkith,  2. 
OABisH,  and  3.  kerach,  are  translated  crystal.  1.  is, 
no  doubt,  the  word  for  glass;  2.  means  (like)  clear 
ice;  and  3.  means  ice  or  frost.  "Clear  as  crystal," 
is  a  figure  in  Ez.  i.  22;  Rev.  iv.  6;  xxi.  11,  etc. 

CTJCK'OO  (Heb.  shachaph),  (Lev.  xi.;  Deut. 
xiv. ).  The  Arabs  think  its  note  sounds  like  ynkoob, 
and  so  call  it  Jacob's  bird.  It  migrates,  and  winters 
in  Palestine.  Ti'istram  suggests  tlie  shore  petrel 
as  the  bird  of  the  Hebrew  text. 

GU'-CTJM-BER  (Heb.  kishuim,  heavy,  hard  to 
digest).  Grown  only  in  the  fertile  land  which  is 
overflowed  by  the  Nile,  and  is  esteemed  the  coolest 
and  most  pleasant  fruit  in  the  East  (Is.  i.  8). 

CUM'BER.    Overload,  harass  (Luke  x.  40). 

CUM'BRANCE.    Burden  (Deut.  i.  12). 

GTJM'MDf  (Heb.  kammon).  An  umbelliferous 
]ilant  (fennel),  bearing  aromatic  seec|^,  like  anise,

CY'KCJS.  The  Persian  name  for  the  sun  (Ileb. 
KORESH),  and  the  same  as  the  Egyptian  name 
Phrah.  Thus,  Cyrus  is  a  title  for  the  king,  as 
Pharaoh,  Augustus,  etc.  The  Bil)le  mentions  cmly 
the  one  who  conquered  Babylon,  unless  the  Gyrus, 
the  Persian,  of  Daniel,  was  the  uncle  of  Cyrus, 
who  issued  the  decree  permitting  the  return  of  the 

I  captive  Jews  to  Judsea.     It  is  inipossil:)le  to  sepa- 
rate the  liistoryof  Cyrus  from  the  fables  connected 

;  with  it,  and  now  more  than  wlien  Herodotus  found 
the  same  difficulty,  only  a  century  after  the  events.

]  tius,  and  that  of  Xenophon,  are  both  historical

That  he  became  supreme  king  of  Persia,  and  con- 
quered Babylon,  is  undoubted.    The  turning  of  the

name  is  derived  from  dagon,  grain,  and  it  was  the

feet  above  the  sea,  in  a  fertile  plain  near  the  desert. 
The  oiliest  citv  Iciiowu  to  hi.story.  It  is  cut  through 
by  tlie  Baratlii  river,  which  "divides  into  luaiiy 
branches,  and  together  with  the  llelbon  on  the  JN. 
and  tlie  Awaj  on  the  S.,  fertilizes  a  region  30  ms. 
in  extent,  which  being  favored  by  the  finest  climate, 
produces  almost  every  valuable  product  of  forest, 
lieid  and  garden.  First  mentioned  in  Gen.  xiv.  16 
and  in  Gen.  xv.  2,  as  the  citv  of  Abraham's  stew- 
ard. For  800  yrs.,  from  Abraham  to  David,  the 
Scriptures  are  silent  on  Damascus.  David  put  a 
garrison  in  D.  (1  K.  xi.  23;  2  Sam.  viii.  6;  Jos.  Ant. 
vii.  5,  §  2).  During  Asa's  reign  Benhadad  pillaged 
§ties  in  Naphtali  (1  K.  xv.  19,  20).  After  this  it  is 
mentioned  many  times.  Naaman,  the  leper,  who 
was  cured  by  Elisha  the  prophet,  was  of  D.  (2  K. 
V.  1).  The  Assyrian  king,  Tiglath  Pile'ser,  took 
the  city  and  carried  captive  the  "people  to  Kir  (2  K. 
xvi.  7-9).  Isaiah's  prophesy  (xvii.  3;  Amos  i.  4, 
6).  Jeremiah  described  it,  B.  C.  600:  "D.  is 
waxed  feeble,  and  turneth  herself  to  llee,  and  fear 
hath  seized  on  her  "  (xlix.  24).  At  the  time  of  the 
Apostle  Paul  the  city  was  under  Roman  rule,  and 
Aretas,  the  Arabian,  king  (2  Cor.  xi.  22;  Jos. 
Ant.  xvi.  11,  §  9).  Has  now  150,000  people:  Chris- 
tians 15,000;  Jews,  6,000 

The  fine  fabrics  of  D.  were  celebrated  as 
early  as  800  B.  C.  (Amos  iii.  12).  The  damask 
silk  and  sword-blades  are  still  famous.  Certain 
localities  are  pointed  out  as  having  a  historical  con- 
nection with  Paul's  time.  The  "street  called 
straight"  is  now  the  street  of  Bazaars;  there  is  a 
"house  of  Judas;"  the  house  of  Ananias;  the  scene 
of  the  conversion,  which  is  an  open  green  spot 
surrounded  with  trees,  now  used  as  a  Christian 
burial-ground ;  the  place  where  Paul  was  let 
down  by  the  wall  in  a  basket;  and  also  several 
spots  connected  with  the  history  of  the  prophet 
Elisha.  The  old  city  stands  on  the  S.  bank  of  the 
principal  river,  surrounded  by  a  ruinous  wall  of 
ancient  Eoman  foundations,  and  a  patchwork  of 
all  the  succeeding  ages.  The  city  is  splendid,  when 
viewed  at  a  distance,  but  the  houses  are  rudely 
built;  the  narrow  streets,  paved  with  big  rough 
stones,  or  not  at  all.  partly  roofed  across  with  mats, 
or  withered  branches :  the  bazaars  are  covered 
ways  with  a  few  stalls  on  both  sides,  each  trade 
having  its  own  quarter.  Although  rough  and  rude 
on  the  street,  yet  the  interior  of  the  priVate  houses 
is  neat,  paved,  with  fountain  and  fruit-trees,  with 
grateful  shade,  and  the  rooms  opening  from  the 
court  decorated  with  carving,  gilding,  and  all  that 
wealth  and  taste  can  provide.  Modern  name  Esh 
Shaum.

(Josh.  xix.  47).  They  w'ere  idolaters  from  the 
beginning  (Gen.  xiv.  14;  Deut.  xxxiv.  1;  Judg. 
xviip.  The  worship  was  continued  by  Jeroboam 
(1  K.  xii.  29,  30;  Amos  viii.  14).  "From  Dan  to 
Beersheba,"  was  the  common  form  of  speaking  of 
the  extent  of  Palestine  (Judg.  xx.  1;1  Sam.  iii.  20, 
etc.).  Tell  el  Kadi  (judge's  mound)  is  the  modern 
name,  and  is  a  long,  steep  hill,  covered  with  ruins, 
from  the  base  of  which  flows  one  of  the  largest 
fountains  in  the  world  (Rob.  396). 

DANCE  (Heb.  MACHOL),  to  move  or  leap  in  a  cir- 
cle,  twist  or  turn  around,  as  the  dancing  Dervishes 
now  do  in  the  East.  The  sacred  song  and  dance  al- 
ways go  together  (Ex.  xv.  20);  words,  and  music 
and  motion,  aiding  each  other  in  expressing  thejoy 
or  sorrow  of  the  soul  (Judg.xi.  34;Eccl.  iii.  4).  The 


Romans  also  danced  in  their  worship;  so,  also,  the 
Egyptians. 

in  the  modem  Oriental  dance  a  woman  leads 
off,  and  goes  through  a  number  of  graceful  and  ar- 
tistic attitudes,  and  then  all  the  others  of  the  party 
follow  her  in  every  motion.  The  two  companies 
of  dancers  are  called  by  an  error  armies  in  Cant,

DAN'IEL  (God's  Judge).  1.  David's  son  (1 
Chr.  iii.  1  ).— 2.  A  Levite  (Ezra  viii.  2). — 3.  A  cel- 
ebrated piophet  in  the  Chaldean  and  Persian  pe- 
riod, and  a  (princely)  descendant  of  Judah.  He 
was  taken  with  other  captives  (Ananiah,  Mishael, 
and  Azariah)  to  Babylon,  B.  C.  607,  at  the  age  of 
12  to  16,  educated  thoroughly  and  made  a  cup- 
bearer at  the  court,  when  he  was  given  a  new 
name  Belshatzar  (favorite  of  Bd) .  He  kept  the 
Jewish  law  of  clean  and  unclean  meat  (Dan.  i. 
8,  16),  and  was  constant  and  faithful  in  his  devo- 
tions to  God.  After  three  years  service  he  inter- 
preted a  dream  (v.  17)  on  the  occasion  of  the 
king's  decree  against  the  magi,  and  for  this  service 
was  made  "ruler"  and  "chief  governor"  over  the 
province  and  magistrates  of  Babylon.  He  inter- 
preted  Nebuchadnezzar's  second  "dream,  and  the 
handwriting  on  the  wall,  thus  introducing  the 
knowledge  of  the  true  God,  and  alluding  to  the 
profane  use  (and  consequent  insult  to  God)  of 
the  holy  vessels  of  the  temple,  as  one  of  the  crown- 
ing sins  of  the  king  and  his  people,  which  were  the 
means  of  ending  the  nation's  life,  by  the  conquest 
of  the  Medes  and  Persians  (v.  10,  28),  while  he 
lived  at  Susa,  and  after  he  had  been  removed 
from  office,  when  he  was  again  placed  in  one  of 
the  highest  offices  of  tru.st  and  honor.  During  an 
interval  in  which  no  event  in  Daniel's  life  is  re- 
corded, his  three  companions  were  delivered  from 
a  fiery  furnace. 

Darius  made  him  first  of  the  three  presidents 
of  the  empire .  Having  exercised  the  rites  of  his 
religious  faith,  contrary  to  law,  he  was  thrown  to 
the  lions,  but  was  delivered  alive  (vi.  10,  23).  He 
was  in  favor  with  the  king  in  the  third  year  of 
CjTus,  and  saw  his  last  vision  on  the  banks  of  the 
Tigris  (B.  C.  534),  when  the  prophesy  of  the  70 
weeks  was  delivered  to  him  (ch.  ix.).  He  died  at 
the  age  of  over  90,  at  Susa,  where  there  was  a 
monument  to  his  memory  in  the  12th  century,  de- 
scribed by  Benjamin  of  Tudela.

by  Seleucus  Nicator.  See  Antioch.  The  right  of 
asylum— where  criminals  could  shelter  themselves 
from  justice,  because  it  was  thought  to  be  sacrilege 
to  take  any  one  away  by  force— "was  an  honor  at- 
tached to  this  place  (2  Mace.  iv.  33).  The  sacred 
right  was  often  violated,  especially  when  a  pood 
man  sought  safety  from  the  wickecl,  as  in  the  ca-^e 
of  Onias.  Now  called  Beit  el  Maor—Jwuse  of  water 
(Jos.  Wars,  i.  12,  §  5).

DAB'IC.  Gold  coin  of  Persia,  current  in  Pales- 
tine after  the  captivity  (Ezr.  ii.  69;  viii.  27;  Neli. 
vii.  70,  etc.).  Tlie  darics  that  have  been  found 
among  the  ruins 
are  thick  pieces 
of  pure  gold, 
stamped,  as  in 
the  engraving. 
The  gold  pieces 
found   at   Sardis 

are  of  older  date,  dauic. 

and  were  made  hy  Croisus.  The  name  daric  may 
be  derived  from  "dara,"  the  Persian  name  for 
king,  or  from  "Darius,  the  king."  Plutarch  men- 
tions silver  darics.    See  Money. 

DA-RITJS  (in  Heb.  darjavesh).  The  Assyrian 
title  lord-king— Dara,  lord;  shah,  king.  1.  The  first 
mentioned  is  Darius,  the  Mede (Dan.  v. 31,  etc.), 
called  also  Cyax'ares  (B.  C.  538).  The  gold  coin 
was  named  Daric — that  is,  king's  money. — 2.  Da- 
rius, SON  OF  Hys-tas-pes  (  Vashiospa),  made  king 
B.  C.  521.  He  conquered  Babylon,  Scythia,  Libya, 
Thrace,  Macedonia  and  some  of  the  islands  in  the 
^^gean  sea,  but  the  Greeks  defeated  him  at  Mara- 
thon (B.  C.  490).  Died  B.  C.  485  (Ezr.  iv.  7.).— 
3.  Darius,  tkb  Persian.  Darius  II,  Nothus,  king 
of  Persia,  B.  C.  424-404.  Perhaps  Darius  Codo- 
JIANUS  (Neh.  xii.  22). 

DARK'KESS.  Opposite  of  light,  absence  of  light 
(Gen.  i.  2).  Three  times  mentioned  in  the  Bible.  In 
Genesis,  at  the  creation;  at  the  Exodus,  as  one  of  the 
plagues  of  Egypt,  and  at  the  crucifixion.  Used  as  a 
figure  of  adversity  and  misery  (Job  xviii.  6;  Ps. 
cvii.  10).  "  Works  of  dariuiess,"  heathen  rites  and 
ceremonies  (Eph.  v.  11),  "outer  darkness,"  shut 
cut  of  heaven  (which  is  glorious  with  light). 


TEUIT  OF  BATE   PALM. 

DAE'KON.  Children  of  Darkon  were  among  the 
servants  of  Solomon,  who  returned  from  the  cap- 
tivity (Ezr.  ii.  56). 

DARLING.     My  only  one  (Ps.  xxii.  20). 

DA'ROM  (smith),  (Dent,  xxxiii.  23).  Naphtali 
was  to  possess  the  sea  and  Darom.  Jerome  and 
others  so  name  Philistia  and  the  plain  toward 
Egypt. 


DA'BON  (south).  Fort  built  by  the  Crusaders 
at  Deir  el  Belah  {convent  of  dates),  near  Gaza,  on 
ancient  ruins). 

DATES.  Fruit  of  the  palm  tree,  called  dusters  in 
Cant.  vii.  7,  and  honey  in  2  Chr.  xxxi.  5,  dates  in 
tlie  margin.  In  many  parts  of  Arabia  the  staple 
product  and  the  main  source  of  landed  wealth,  is 
the  date-palm,  of  which  there  are  many  species. 
The  ripening  season  is  August  and  September.  The 
fruit  is  a  substitute  for  the  bread  of  other  coun- 
tries. To  cut  down  tlie  date  trees  is  a  great  achieve- 
ment in  war — and  the  absence  of  those  trees  from. 
Palestine  indicates  a  long  period  of  wars  and  an' 
unsettled  condition.  To  plant  the  palm  on  new 
ground  is  a  sign  of  prosperity — as  now  in  Egypt. 
The  Arabs  believe  the  tree  is  a  blessing  granted 
only  to  them,  and  denied  to  all  other  people.  Mo- 
hammed taught,  "  Honor  the  date  tree,  she  is  your 
mother."  There  are  139  varieties,  70  of  which  are 
well  known,  each  of  which  has  its  peculiar  name. 
Some  six  kinds  are  superior.  El  Shelebi,  the  best, 
are  two  inches  long,  with  small  stones.  The  value 
in  Arabia  is  about  three  cents  a  pound. 

DATK'AN  (fo^mtain).  Chief  in  Reuben,  who 
joined  Korah  in  rebellion  against  Moses  and  Aaron. 

DATH'EMA.  Fort  in  Gilead  (1  Mace.  v.  9),  near 
Mizpeh. 

DATJGH'TEK.  1.  Female  offspring;  of  the  wife; 
or  adopted;  or  of  a  sister;  or  of  a  cousin  (Ruth  ill. 
18;  Gen.  xxxiv.  17);  or  a  grand-daughter.— 2.  Tlie 
female  inhabitants  of  a  place,  or  tiiose  who  hold 
the  faith  of  a  certain  place,  as  "daughters  of 
Zion  "  (Is.  iii.  16),  "daughters  of  the  Philistine.'-.," 
"  daughters  of  Jerusalem, "  "  daughters  of  Aaron  " 
(Num.  xxv.  1;  2  Sam.  i.  20;  Luke  i.  5).  Cities  were 
named  or  spoken  of  under  female  names,  and  were 
said  to  have  daughters,  suburbs  or  villages  near. 
A  vine  had  daughters  (branches,  in  Gen.  xlix.  22). 
Sarah  was  the  daughter  of  90  years — that  is,  she 
was  90  years  old. 

DAVID  (beloved).  Synopsis  of  his  life.  Born 
at  Bethlehem  in  Judah,  B.  C.  1084.  His  father, 
Jesse;  his  mother's  name  not  recorded  (1  Sam. 
xvi.  10, 17,  58).  Had  7  elder  brothers— Eli ab,  Abin- 
adab,  Shammah,  Nethaneel,  Raddai,  Ozein,  and 
Elihu;  and  two  sisters — Zeruiah,  and  Abigail. 

He  watclied  the  flocks  in  the  field,  and  in  their 
defense  killed  a  lion  and  a  bear.  He  was  short, 
light,  "comely,"  had  red  hair  and  blue  eyes;  was 
strong,  and  swift  of  foot;  valiant  and  prudent. 

At  a  yearly  family  feast  he  was  anointed  king 
by  Samuel  "from  th^e  sheep-cote"  (2  Sam.  vii.  8). 
He  went  to  carry  food  to  his  three  brothers  in 
Saul's  ai'iny,  and  was  introduced  to  tb«  king  a,s 
valiant  and  brave.  He  kiUed  Goliath  with  a  stone 
from  a  sling.  The  sv.'ord  and  armor  of  the  giant 
were  first  taken  to  his  tent  in  Bethlehem,  afterwards 
to  Nob,  and  laid  up  in  the  Tabernacle  (Ps.  viii.  19, 
29).  Saul  takes  David  into  his  service  as  a  min- 
strel. Jonathan,  his  friend.  Women  sing  his 
praise  as  superior  to  Saul.  Saul  jealous;  "seeks 
twice  to  kill  David.  Being  afraid  of  David  he 
made  him  captain  of  1,000.  David  behaved  wisely, 
and  all  Israel  and  Judali  loved  him.  Merab  is  of- 
fered to  David  as  a  wife  as  a  reward  for  his  ser- 
vice against  Goliath,  the  Philistine.  But  Saul  gave 
Merab  to  Adriel.  Michal,  Saul's  daughter,  loved 
David,  and  Saul  offered  her  to  David  for  a  price, 
and  David  paid  double  the  price,  for  he  killed  200 
Philistines.  He  paid  twice  for  his  wife,  killed  Go- 
liath and  the  200.  He  is  made  annor-bearer  and 
captain  of  the  body  guard,  with  a  place  at  the 
king's  table.  Saul  seeks  to  kill  him;  sets  men 
to  watch  for  him;  Michal  assists  his  escape.  Goes 
to  Ramah  to  Samuel  (Ps.  lix).  Michal  is  given  to 
JPhaltiel.  Secret  meeting  with  Jonathan.  The 
sign  of  the  arrow.  David  flies.  Saul  tries  to  take

Solomon,  "the  peaceful,"  born,  (Ps.  xx.  21).  Ed- 
ucated by  Nathan  the  propliet.  His  daughter  Ta- 
mar  outraged;  his  eldest  son  Amnon  murdered. 
Absalom  tied  to  Geshur.  The  artifice  of  Joab  and 
the  widow  of  Tekoa,  to  restore  Absalom.  Absalom 
waits  two  years  to  see  his  father;  burning  Joab's 
field,  is  brought  to  the  king.  Absalom  plots- 
rebels  :  David  a  wanderer  again.  Leaves  the  city; 
a  vast  multitude  go  witli  him.  Ittai  the  faithful, 
Zadok  and  Abiathar  with  tlie  ark,  which  David 
sent  back.  Hushai,  "the  friend",  sent  to  watch 
Ahithophel  (grandfather  of  Bathsheba),  who  was 
untrue. 

Absalom  arrives  from  Hebron.  At  Bahurim, 
Ziba's  deceit — Shimei's  curses.  David  rested  in 
the  Jordan  valley,  near  the  ford  (Ps.  ill.  143) .  They

onites'  murder  by  Saul.  David  delivered  7  sons 
of  Saul  to  be  hanged,  as  an  atonement.  The  bones 
of  Saul  and  Jonathan  buried  in  Zelah.  David 
grows  faint  in  the  fight  with  the  Philistines.  Ish- 
bibenob,  the  giant,  thought  to  kill  David.  Abi- 
shai kills  the  giant.  I'salm  of  thanksgiving  (2 
Sam.  xxii.). 

T 


EGYPTIAN   DODlt. 


David  numbered  the  people  unlawfully,  in  pride. 
Joab  and  the  captains  opposed  it.  (iad,  the 
prophet,  warns  of  3  calamities;  David  would  not 
choose,  and  the  .3  days'  pestilence  killed  70,000,  and 
was  stayed  at  the  threshing-floor  of  Oman.  Da- 
vid bought  the  site  for  a  sanctuary,  and  it  is  now 
marked  oy  an  ancient  church — the  Dome  of  the 
Rock  (see  Jerusalem).  David  renews  his  resolve 
to  build  a  house  for  the  Lord,  and  gathers  mate- 
rials. Charges  Solomon  with  the  solemn  duty 
(1  Chr.  xxii.). 


The  young  Abishag.  Adonijah's  rebellion.  Joab 
and  Abiathar  helped  (Ps.  xcii.  2).  By  David's 
order  Solomon  is  anointed  king  at  Gihon.  Ado- 
nijah  pardoned  by  Solomon.  David'  s  last  song  (2 
Sam.  xxiii.  1-7).  David's  last  words  (1  K.  ii.  1-9), 
describe  the  perfect  ruler  fearing  God.  Died  at 
the  age  of  70.  Bmied  "between  Siloah  and  the 
guard-house."  Eeigned  in  Jerusalem  33  years 
(Neh.  iii.  16).     The  site  of  his  tomb  is  lost. 

David's  Family. — l.  Michal  (no  children,  2  Sam. 
vi.).  2.  Ahinoam — son  Amnon  (1  Chr.  iii.  1).  3. 
Abigail — so/i  Daniel  (ib. )  Maachah — svn  Absalom, 
3  sons  died.  Tamar  (2  Sam.  xiii.).  5.  Haggith — 
son  Adonijah  (2  Sam.  iii.).  6.  Abital — son  She- 
phatiah  (1  Chr.  iii.).  7.  Eglah — son  Ithrcam. 
Sons  W'hose  mothers  are  not  named:  Ibliar,  Elishua, 
Eliphelet,  ISTogah,  Nepheg,  Japhia,  Elishama,  Eli- 
ada,  Elipiialet  and  Jerimoth  (1  Chr.  xiv.  7;  2  Chr. 
xi.  18).  8.  Bathsheba — sons:  one  died — Shammua, 
Shobab,  Nathan  and  Jedidjah  or  Shelomoh  =  Solo- 
mon (2  Sam.  xii.  25).  The  children  of  the  10  con- 
cubines, and  their  mothers,  are  not  named.  Tliere 
is  no  reason  to  suppose  he  had  more  than  eight 
wives.  The  text  of  2  Sam.  v.  13,  probably  refers  to 
Michal,  Bathsheba  and  the  10  women  whom  he 
took  at  Jerusalem. 

David  was  a  soldier,  shepherd,  poet,  prophet, 
priest,  statesman  and  king,  a  romantic  friend, 
chivalrous  leader,  devoted  father.  He  represent^s 
the  Jewish  people  at  the  point  of  the  change  from 
the  lofty  writers  of  their  older  system  to  the  higher 
civiMzation  of  the  newer,  and  was  a  type  of  the 
Messiah,  who  is  called  the  Son  of  David. 

David  as  king  is  almost  above  reproach;  his  pri- 
vate life  only  proved  him  a  man.  Next  to  Abra- 
ham's, David's  is  the  most  dearly  cherished  name 
of  all  the  ancient  patriarchs.  The  Psalms,  w  hether 
his  own  or  others'  writings,  have  been  the  source 
of  consolation  and  instruction  far  beyond  any  other 
of  the  holy  scriptures,  and  are  the  only  expressions 
of  devotion  that  have  been  equally  used  by  all 
branches  of  the  Christian  church  and  by  the  Jews. 

It  is  now  thought  that  the  saying  that  David  was 
a  man  after  God's  own  heart  meant  only  that  he 
was  chosen,  v/hile  Saul  was  rejected — ana  his  ex- 
cellence as  a  king  justified  the  choice. 

The  noble  qualities  of  his  soul,  his  sublime  piety, 
which  was  the  habit  of  his  life,  his  intense  strug- 
gle against  fiery  passions,  and  his  mournful  re- 
morse over  occasional  sins,  far  outweighed  his 
faults. 

Because  he  passed  through  temptation,  jmssion

DAVID,  CITY  OF.  Zion  in  Jerusalem,  and  also 
Bethlehem. 

DEACON.  Assistant,  helper.  Christ  is  called  a 
deacon  (A.  V.  minister,  Rom.  xv.  8).  The  Apos- 
tles appointed  officers  and  made  rules  as  circum- 
stances retiuired.  The  7  deacons  appointed  to  care 
for  the  widows  (serving  tables),  had  special  duties 
which  passed  away  with  the  occasion.  But  there 
was  then  a  dillereiice  madi^  between  the  ministers 
of  spiritual  and  of  material  things.  They  also  as- 
sisted at  the  communion  by  carrying  the  food  and 
drink  to  the  members.  They  received  the  contri- 
butions; cared  for  the  sacred  vessels;  read  the  gos- 
pel sometimes,  and  baptized.  They  were  to  be 
grave,  venerable,  of  good  report  in  life,  sincere, 
truthful,  temperate,  not  using  their  office  for  profit, 
keeping  the  faith  in  a  pure  conscience,  husband  of 
one  wiife,  ruling  their  children  and  house  well  (1 
Tim.  in.;  Actsvi.).

DEAD  SEA.  This  name  is  first  met  in  history, 
about  200  years  after  Christ.  In  tiie  O.  T.  it  is 
called  the  Salt  Sea,  sea  of  the  Plain.  See  Salt 
Sea. 

DHATH.  1.  Natural  death;  end  of  the  life  of 
the  body.  2.  Spiritual  death;  insensible  to  holi- 
ness; alienation  from  God  (Matt.  viii.  22;  Eph.  ii.; 
Rom.  vi.  21).  The  poetic  expressions  are  "return 
to  dust"  (CJen.  iii.  li>);  "removal  from  the  body" 
(Job  X.  21);  "asleep"  (Jer.  li.  39;  John  xi.  li); 
"losinji  the  breath"  (Ps.  civ.  29);  the  soul  laving 
off  its  clothing"  (2  Cor.  v.  3);  "to  depart"  (Phil, 
i.  23);  "for  a  great  trial"  (2  Cor.  i.  10).  Gates 
OF  Death  (Job  xxxviii.  17);  doors  of  the  shadow. 
Some  believe  that  we  should  be  able  to  hve 
forever  if  we  did  not  break  (Jod's  law.  But  the 
Bible  is  a  spiritual  book  and  not  a  treatise  on 
Natural  History. 

DEB 'IB  {oracle).  1.  Ancient  royal  city  of 
Canaan  (Josh.  x.  33).  Kirjath-Sepher  {book city). 
Now  Dibeh,  6  ms.  S.  W.  of  Hebron,  where  there 
is  a  fine  spring  and  aqueduct. — 2.  Judah  near  the 
valley  of  Achor.  Wady  Daborat  the  N.  W.  corner 
of  the  Dead  Sea  (Josh.  xv.  7).— 3.  Boundary  of  Gad,

DEB 'OR  A  Mother  of  TobeU,  the  father  of  Tobit, 
(Tobit  i.  8). 

DEB'ORAH  {iee).  1.  Eebekah's  nurse  (Gen. 
XXXV.  S).  Buried  under  an  oak  called  Allon- 
bachuth. — 2.  A  prophetess,  wife  of  Lapidoth  who 
Jived  near  a  palm  tree  between  Kamah  and  Bethel 
(Judg.  iv.  4).  She  composed  a  song  (ch.  v.)  in 
memor\'  of  the  victory  over  Sisera  (by  Barak  and 
Deborah)  which,  for  poetic  beauty,  is  nnuh  valued, 
and  gives  her  the  title  of  prophetess  (singer). 

DEBITOR.  The  strict  law  of  inheritance,  of 
Moses,  provided  against  commercial  speculation 
and  debts,  by  requiring  all  landed  property  and 
slaves  to  be  freed  on  the  year  of  jubilee  (7th) 
(Lev.  XXV.  39).  No  debtor  could  be  sent  to  prison, 
or  whipped,  or  oppressed  unfairly,  except  by 
breaking  the  law.  In  Egj^pt  the  creditor  could 
send  the  debtor  to  prison,  and  seize  his  family 
tomb  and  prevent  burials  there.  The  Roman  laws 
were  very  severe  against  the  debtor,  and  hard  on 
slaves  (made  by  debt).  Bankers  and  sureties  in 
the  commercial  sense  were  unknown  (Prov.  xxii. 
26).  No  interest  could  be  lawfully  taken  from  a 
poor  person,  but  relief  was  to  be  given  without 
price,  laws  being  made  to  prevent  evading  this 
rule  (Ex.  xxih-25;  Lev.  xxv.  35,  etc.).  Nehemiah 
corrected  such  abuses  (Neh.  v.),  and  Jesus  ap- 
proved of  the  law  of  Moses,  although  in  the  later 
times  the  custom  of  usury  had  become  popular, 
and  usurers  had  their  tables  in  the  courts  of  the 
Temple.  Loans  could  be  secured  bv  pledges,  under 
certain  rules:  1.  The  cloak,  which  was  used  day 
and  night  by  the  poor,  must  be  returned  at  sun- 
down. A  bedstead  (a  luxury)  might  be  taken 
(Ex.  xxii.);  no  widow's  garments,  or  a  millstone, 
could  be  taken  (Deut.  xxlv.  6,  17).  The  creditor 
could  not  enter  a  house  for  his  ]iledg('  but  must 
wait  outside  (Deut.  xxiv.  10).  Debtors  held  as 
slaves  must  be  released  at  the  jubilee,  and  might 
Ih?  redeemed  for  a  price.  Foreign  slaves'  were  not 
released  (Lev.  xxv.  44).  A  year  was  allowed  to 
redeem  houses  sold  for  debt.  The  Romans  super- 
seded the  law  of  the  jubilee  year,  and  the  debtor 
could  be  held  in  prison  until  the  last  farthing  was 
paid  (Matt.  v.  26). 

DEC ' ALQGTJE  {ten  words) .  Ten  Commahdjients 
(Ex.  XX).  The  basis  of  all  laws.  The  number  ten 
was  regarded  as  perfect  or  complete,  therefore  the 
TEN  GREAT  WORDS  Were  the  perfect  law  of  God 


(Ps.  xix.  7)  given  on  Sinai.  They  were  cut  on  two 
tables  of  stone,  and  kept  for  several  centuries  in 
the  ark,  in  the  very  centre  of  the  holy  place,  as  a 
symbol  of  the  centre  of  the  whole  system.  The 
two  tables  indicate  a  division  of  the  law,  into  duties 
towards  Ciod,  and  duties  toward  our  neighbor 
(Matt.  XX.  37-39).  Some  critics  point  out  more 
than  20  decalogues  in  the  laws  of  Moses.  See 
Leviticus  in  the  History. 


DECAP'OLIS  {ten  cities).  Mentioned  three  times 
in  the  N.  T.  (^latt.  iv.  25;  Mark  v.  20,  vii.  31), 
and  many  times  in  Josephus  and  other  ancient 
writers.  Soon  after  the  Romans  conquered  Pales- 
tine they  rebuilt  and  colonized  ten  cities,  and  gave 
them  especial  privileges.  The  list  of  the  names 
of  these  ten  cities  is  given  differently  by  various 
writers.  Pliny  names  Scythopolis,  Hippos, 
Gadara,  Pella,  Philadelpliia,  Gerasa,  Don  Canatha, 
Damascus,  and  Raphana.  Ptolemy  includes 
Capitolias;  and  an  inscription  in  PaluijTa  makes 
Abila  one.  The  name  was  probably  given  to  a 
large  district  in  Christ's  time.  Damascus  is  the 
only  one  of  the  ten  cities  left,  all  the  others  being 
in  ruins. 

DE'DAN  {low  country).  1.  Son  of  Raamah, 
grandson  of  Cush  (Gen.  x.  7).  An  island  on  the 
shore  of  the  Persian  Gulf  is  called  Dudan,  and 
another  Sheba. — 2.  A  son  of  Jokshan,  grandson  of 
Abraham  by  Keturah  (Gen.  xxv.  3).  In  each 
case  the  brother  is  named  Sheba,  and  both  tribes 
may  have  intermarried  and  o(.'cupied  the  same 
country.  "The  travelling  companies  of  Dedanim" 
of  Is.  xxi.  13,  are  caravans.  They  traded  with 
Tyre  (Ez.  xxvi..  1.5,  20)  in  ivory,  ebony  and  fine 
dry  goods  (precious  cloths). 

DEDICA'TION,  FEAST  OF  THE.     Instituted  in 

memory  of  the  puriiication  of  the  temple  by  Jiidas 
Maccal)0eus  after  driving  out  the  SjTians  (B.  C. 
164),  (1  Mace.  iv.  .52;  Jer.  x.  22).  It  lasted  8  days- 
Dec.  25  (CHISLEV)  to  Jer.  3.  Carrying  branches 
of  trees  and  singing,  especially  the  Hallelujah 
song,  every  day. 

DEEP,  THE.  Abvss.  Bottomless  pit  in  A.  V. 
(Luke  viii.  31;  Rev.  ix.  1,  2,  11;  xx.  1,  3;  2  Cor. 
xi.  25).  In  Rev.  x.  6,  7,  "ascend  into  heaven," 
"descend  into  the  deep,"  the  place  of  the  dead. 
This  does  not  include  Hades,  which  is  supposed  to 
include  the  deep,  which  is,  then,  only  a  part  of  the 
great  unknown  place  of  the  dead, 

DEGREE.  1  Tim.  iii.  13,  should  read:  "For  they 
who  well  served  as  deacons  obtain  for  them'^plves

Christ  Jesus."    That  is,  in  spiritual  matters.

DEMAS 


DEGSEES,  THE  SONG  OF  (_stairs  or  steps),  is  a 
title  of  15  Psalms  by  different  authors.  Pilgrim 
songs,  sung  by  the  people  as  they  went  up  to 
Jerusalem  (Ex.  xxxiv.  24;  IK.  xii.  27;  Ezr.  vii.  9; 
Ps.  cxxii.  4).  6  were  written  by  David  (4)  and 
Solomon  (1),  and  the  other  10  after  the  retui-n  from 
Captivity.  See  Ps.  cxx.  to  cxxxiv.  See  Psalms  in 
the  History. 

DEHA'VITES  (villagers),  (Ezr.  iv.  9).  Planted 
in  Samaria  by  Assyria.  Dahi  (Herodotus  i.  125), 
in  Persia;  and  Daci,  in  Europe  (Dacia). 

DE'EAB.  An  officer  of  Solomon's  in  Judah  (1 
K.  iv.  9). 


SELAI'AH  (Jehovah's  freedman).  1.  Priest  in 
David's  time,  leader  of  the  23d  course  (1  Chr.  xxiv. 
18). — 2.  Children  of  D.  returned  from  Captivity 
(Ezr.  ii.60).— 3.  Son  of  Mehetable  (Neh.  vi.  10).— 
4.  Son  of  Shemaiah,  in  Jehoikim's  time  (Jer. 
xxxvi.  12). 

DELI'LAH  (drooping,  languishinr/) .  Samson's 
love;  hved  in  the  valley  of  Sorek,  Philistia.  She 
was  a  wily  seducer,  v\fho  loved  the  bribes,  and  not 
her  honor  or  her  lover's  safety,  and  captivated  only 
to  destroy.  Her  bribe  was  large— .'JjSOO  pieces  of 
silver— shekels  ($2,750),  equal  to  33,000  as  to  our 
standard  of  wages.    See  Monei  . 

DEL'TJGE.  Flood  (Heb.  ham?,iabat<  the  fulness 
of  waters),  from  yubal,  a  river  (fulness).  Deluge 
is  used  instead  of  flood. 

The  belief  in  a  deluc;e  of  greater  or  less  extent  is 
of  very  ancient  date,  in  allnations  who  have  kept 
records,  or  have  traditions.  It  is  very  often  noticed 
in  the  Bible,  as  a  fact  from  which  a  great  lesson  is 
to  be  learned  (Matt.  xxiv.  38) ,  and  its  history  is 
given  in  Gen.  vi.  viii.  The  account  next  in  value 
to  this  is  that  of  the  Greeks  (Ovid)— the  flood  of 
Deuca'lion  and  Pyr'rha.  The  Hindus  (Sir  Wm. 
Jones,  Asiatic  Ecs.  iii.  116)  also  have  an  account, 
which,  with  the  Greek,  agrees  with  that  in  Genesis 
in  many  points.  The  Chinese  legend  is  not  very 
parallel,  but  agrees  in  a  few  items.  The  Parsee 
account  says  the  flood  washed  away  all  tlie 
wickedness  which  Ah'ri-man  (the  E-vil  One)  had 
brought  about.  The  Chaldee  (Jos.  Ap.  i.  19),  that 
Noa  saved  Sem,  Japet,  and  Chem.  The  Assyrian 
is  (Eusebius,  Bv.  Prcep.  c.  ix.)  similar.  "  The 
Scandinavian,  Mexican,  Peruvian,  and  others, 
have  each  a  story  to  tell,  of  a  great  flood,  and  a 
few  persons  saved. 

The  Scripture  account  is,  the  God  sent  the 
deluge  as  a  punishment  for  sin,  destroying  all  flesh 
but  such  as  he  directed  Noah  to  place  in  the  ark. 


The  time  occupied  was  358  days,  7  days  less  than 
our  year,  or  1  year  and  10  days  by  the  Jews'  cal- 
endar. The  present  majority  opinion  is,  that  the 
subject  has  a  moral  rather  than  a  physical  charac- 
ter. That  mankind  had  not  spread  beyond  the 
valley  of  the  Euphrates  and  Tigris,  and  Syria  ;  and 
that  the  deluge  only  extended  far  enough  to  be 
universal  as  to  mankind.  There  has  been  no 
evidence  yet  brought  to  light,  such  as  human  bones, 
or  teeth,  proving  any  great  destruction  of  life  in 
this,  or  any  other  region,  which  can  be  dated  to  the 
time  of  the  deluge.  The  size  of  the  ark  is  a  great 
argument  against  the  deluge  being  so  universal  as 
to  cover  the  whole  globe. 
There  are  now  known  1700 
species  of  animals,  about  1000 
of  which  are  clean,  of  whom 

7  of  each  species  were  to  be 
kept;  6000  species  of  birds, 
1000  of  reptiles,  and  550,000 
of  insects ;  and  the  entire 
space  in  the  ark— 547  by  91 
feet  (21  ins.  to  the  cubi't)  3 
stories  high— is  150,000  sq.  ft. 
too  small,  by  many  times,  for 
standing-room,  besides  food 
and  storage     And  how  could 

8  persons  attend  to  so  many 
animals  daily?  Many  ani- 
mals, some  in  the  polar  re- 
gions, others  in  the  tropics, 
cannot  bear  a  change  of 
climate,  even  if  they  could  be 
carried  so  far  from  their 
homes.  Peculiar  species 
belong  to  each  quarter  of  the 
globe,  whose  ancestors  have 
left  their  record  in  the  ancient 
rocks,  fossihzed,  showing  an 
unbroken  succession.    It  was 

also  impossible  to  lay  up  provision  for  the  wild 
beasts.  Seeds  and  plants  must  have  perished 
by  so  long  a  soaking  in  water,  and  fresh-water 
fish  also.  If  covered  by  the  salt  ocean  several 
months.  The  notion  of  a  universal  deluge  is  at 
variance  with  the  light  of  reason.  Geological 
records  (in  the  rocks,  etc.)  show  the  results  of 
many  floods  in  the  past  history  of  the  earth.  Vast 
extents  of  the  earth's  surface  have  been  raised  or 
depressed  in  modern  times  (in  Chili  100,000  sq. 
ms.,  2  ft.  high),  and  the  work  of  sinking  is  now 
going  on  in 'Holland.  The  temple  of  Jupiter,  near 
Naples,  shows  that  it  has  been  sunk,  with  the 
island  on  which  it  stands,  under  the  waters  of  the 
Bay  of  Baiije,  half  its  hight,  by  the  holes  halfway 
up  the  marble  columns,  all  round  the  temple  on  a 
water-line  that  were  bored  by  a  shell-fish  that  lives 
under  water  only.  Those  who  suppose  the  deluge 
related  only  to  the  ancestors  of  the  Hebrews,  and 
had  no  reference  to  any  other  races,  are  answered 
by  a  denial  of  the  remote  antiquity  of  Egypt  and 
Assyria.  The  evidences  of  the  antiquity  of  Egypt 
and"  Assyria  are  far  more  convincing  than  any  yet 
offered  for  the  deluge.  Only  by  limiting  the  deluge 
to  a  small  part  of  the  earth's  surface  can  the  ac- 
count of  Moses  be  made  to  harmonize  with  science. 

DELUS  (G.  delos,  visible).  The  smallest  of  the 
Cyclades,  islands  in  the  Grecian  Archipelago,  the 
chief  seat  of  the  worship  of  Apollo  and  his  sister 
Diana  (1  Mace.  xv.  23).  The  island  was  said 
to  have  suddenly  appeared  anciently,  as  several 
others  have  in  our  time.  It  was  the"  center  of  an 
extensive  commerce  B.  C.  14G. 

DE'MAS,  Demetrius  or  Drmarchits.  Compan- 
ion to  Paul  (Philemon  24;  Col.  iv.  14;  2  Tim.  iv. 
10).  One  of  Keble's  grandest  hymns  is  founded 
on  the  association  of  Demas  and  Luke  with  Paul 
in  his  earlier  trials,  and  of  the  desertion  of  Demas 
after.

DEMETRIUS 


7Ji 


DEVIL 


DE-M£'TKI-US  {votary  of  D<me(er,  Ceres).  Maker 
of  silver  shriiu's  of  Artoiiiis  at  Epliesus  (Acts  xix. 
24).  They  were  small  models  of  the  great  statue 
of  Diana.  lie  made  an  adroit  speech  ajjainst  Paul, 
exciting  their  religious  and  sritisli  feelings  against 
the  new  sect,  which  aimed  to  spoil  the  business  of 
shrine-making. — 2.  Another  Demetrius  is  com- 
mended by  John  as  having  a  eharaeter  so  purely 
(Christian  as  to  carry  its  own  testimony  with  it  ('■> 
John  12). — 3.  Demktriis  Sotkk,  king  of  Syria,  son 
of  Seleucus  IV.  (See  SvniA  and  Antiochus). — 4. 
1).  NitWTOR,  son  of  Xo.  3,  w  ho  was  e.\oluded  by 
Alexander  Balas  from  the  throne  until  B.  C.  14(). 
He  first  treated  the  Jews  well,  but  afterwards  so 
liadly  that  they  took  sides  with  Antiochus  Theos. 
Killed  at  Tyre,"  B.  C.  126. 

D£  MON  (Gr.  daimon,  pod).  At  first  the  Su- 
preme, then  a  god,  and  later,  to  spirits  believed  to 
be  between  gods  and  men;  a  kind  of  messenger, 
who  became  tutelary  deities  of  nu'n  and  cities;  and 
finally  the  notion  of  enl  demons  the  latest  form. 
Some  believed  they  were  the  spirits  of  evil  men 
after  death.  It  was' used  to  denote  fortune,  chance, 
fate.  In  the  Hebrew  it  is  used  for  a  pestilence 
(Ps.  xci.  fi),  idols  (xcvi.  5;  Lev.  xix.  4),  devils 
(Deut.  xxxii.  17),  God  {troopm  A.  V.),  the  god- 
dess of  fortune  (Is.  Ixv.  11),  satyrs  (Is.  xiii.  21; 
xxxiv.  14).  The  Hebrews  meant  evil  spirits.  In 
the  X.  T.  they  are  spiritual,  evil,  at  enmity  with 
God,  having  power  to  work  evil  to  man  with 
disease  and  sin,  positively  and  actively  wicked. 
Called  devils  in  1  Cor  x.  20;  1  Tim.  iv.  1;  Rev. 
ix.  20.  The  modern  notion  is  that  there  is  but 
one  devil  (Lardner),  although  demons  are  innu- 
merable (Dr.  Campbell).  The  devil,  the  old  ser- 
pent, the  adversary,  satan,  prince  of  the  power 
of  the  air,  etc.,  are  one.  God  and  his  angels  are 
opposed  to  the  devil  and  his  angels,  the  deiuons. 

The  angels  are  sent  forth  from  God's  presence  to 
minister  on  earth  to  the  heirs  of  salvation;  it  is  the 
.spirit  of  God  which  gives  his  people  that  character 
of  life-giving  and  blessed  fruits  by  which  they  are 
known;  on  the  contrary,  the  devd  and  his  demon 
agency  are  discovered  in  the  strong  delusions  and 
grievous  oppressions  which  men  have  suffered  and 
do  suffer  from  their  power. 

DE-MO  NX- ACS.  Men  subject  to  the  power  of 
demons,  and  who  are  deaf,  dumb,  blind,  epileptic, 
frenzied,  hypochrondriac,  imbecile,  and  suffer  ills 
both  of  body  and  mind.  Demons  cannot  be  known 
to  our  senses,  nor  their  powers  distinguished  from 
natural  causes;  and  the  few  words  about  them  in 
the  scripture  do  not  help  to  a  clear  idea  of  them. 
Some  suppose  that  the  demoniacs  were  madmen — 
under  the  influence  of  melancholia  or  mania— in 
neither  case  using  reason.  There  are  accounts  of 
some  who  were  maniacs  and  others  lunatics.  vSome 
also  ascribe  every  form  of  disease,  bodily  or  men-

demons  was  a  part  of  his  work,  and  by  this  work 
he  brought  the  kingdom  of  God  to  us  (Lev.  xiii.  32:

expressive  of  utter  desolation  than  any  of  the 
others  (Deut.  xxxii.  10).

DEVIL  (Gr.  Diabolos,  sUutdnrer,  fahe  accuser). 
Called  SATAN  {to  lie  in  wait,  oppose)  by  the  He- 
brews, and  Sfmftan  by  the  Arabs.  This  character 
expresses  the  antagonistic,  malicious,  and  perverse 
nature  of  the  enemy  of  God  and  man.  See  De- 
mon. It  is  not  believed  (by  all)  that  he  is  an  in- 
dependent, self -existent  spirit  of  evil,  though  some 
do  so  believe,  with  the  Manieheans.  He  is  also 
called  Dragon,  Evil  One,  Angel  of  the  Bottomless 
Pit,  Prince  of  this  World,  the  (iod  of  this  World, 
Prince  of  the  Power  of  the  Air,  Apollyon,  Abad- 
don, BeUal,  Beelzebub.  The  word  Sacan  is  used 
also  to  mean  an  adversary.  Hadad  the  Edomite 
was  an  adversary  (Heb.  satan)  to  Solomon  (IK. 
xi.  14);  David  is  sus]iected  of  being  an  adversary 
(satan  in  1  Sam.  xxix.  4)  to  the  Philistines;  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  was  a  satan  (adversary)  to  Ba- 
laam (Num.  xxii.  22);  a  wicked  man  is  a  satan  in 
Ps.  cix.  6.  The  wicked  wives  are  adversaries 
(satans,  diabolous;  the  Hebrew  Satan  is  the  Greek 
Diabolos)  in  1  Tim.  iii.  1;  false  accusers,  2  Tim.  iii. 
3,  and  Titus  ii.  3;  and  Jesus  said  one  of  the  12  was 
a  devil  (diabolos,  Satan),  an  adver.sary.  The  He- 
brew marks,  by  the  article,  a  difference  between  a 
satan,  an  adversary,  and  the  Satan,  a  person,  the 
chief.  In  Zech.  iii.  1,  2,  it  is  the  Satan,  and  also 
in  Job  1st  and  2d  chapters,  and  1  Chr.  xxi.  1:  Matt. 
iv.  1-11;  Luke  viii.  12;  John  viii.  44;  Acts  xiii.  10; 
Eph.  vi.  11;  1  Pet.  v.  8;  1  John  iii.  8;  Rev.  xii.  9. 


I)F:VrTUIl-.S   II. 


It  is  said  that  the  Devil  is  spiritual,  but  not  si)irit — 
not  eternal.  He  works  by  deceiving,  producing 
or  keei)ing  in  ignorance,  "misunderstanding,  evil 
thoughts,  unholy  desires,  pride,  anger,  revenge, 
discontent  and  repining;  and  besides  these  moral, 
he  works  in  physical  ways,  producing  disease  (Job 
ii.  7;  Luke  xiii.  6;  Acts  x.  3s),  which  is  sometimes 
used  as  a  divine  chastisement  (1  Tim.  i.  20).    As

God  Is  the  only  supreme  self-existence,  and  Satan 
is  not  eternal  nor  in  accord  with  God,  but  an  ad- 
versary, he  will  be  overcome,  when  he  has  served 
the  will  of  God,  and  Avlll  go  down  into  the  abyss, 
with  death  and  hell,  into  utter  and  final  annihila-

HEAD-DKESfr.S. 


DEVO'TIONS.  Objects  of  worship— temples,  im- 
ages, altars,  etc.  Paul  meant  olyects  of  devotion  in 
^cts  xvii.  23. 

DEW. — The  dew  falls  copiously  in  Palestine,  at 
niglit,  in  spring  and  autimm,  but  very  little  in  the 
summer — May  to  August.  It  falls  some  weeks  be- 
fore, and  also  after  the  rains,  and  so  shortens 
the  dry  season.  It  is  used  as  a  figure  of  God's 
goodness  in  Hos.  xiv.  5,  "  I  will  be  as  the  dew 
unto  Israel;"  and  in  Job,  of  his  prosperity  (xxix. 
19),  "tlie  dew  lay  all  night  on  my  branch;"  in 
Ps.  ex.  3,  of  freshness  and  energy,  '  dew  of  his 
youth"  (Christ);  of  eloquent  speech,  "distilling 
like  the  dew"  (Deut.  xxxii.  2);  of  brotherly  love, 
as  the  "dew  of  Hermon"  (Ps.  cxxxiii.  3);  and  as 
a  sign  of  calamity,  if  wanting,  in  2  Sam,  i.  21,  in- 
dicating barrenness. 

Di'-A-DEM  (bound  around).  Crowtst.  Only 
four  passages  have  this,  and  they  might  be  read, 
"fillet,"  "mitre,"  "tiara,"  or  "turban,"  the  origi- 
nal meaning  rolled  together,  or  around,  like  the  mo- 
dern Eastern  head-dress  (Is.  iii.  23).  The  diadem 
as  worn  by  kings,  as  a  badge  of  absolute  power, 
was  a  band  about  two  inclies  wide,  made  of  silk, 
ornamented  with  gold,  tied  behind,  as  in  No.  7. 
The  ends  of  the  ribbon  are  frequently  shown  on 
the  coins.  Gibbon  describes  one  as  "a  broad 
white  fillet,  set  with  pearls"  like  No.  6.'  Nos.  1,  2 
and  3  are  Egyptian;  4,  5,  6,  Assyrian;  7,  from  a 
coin  of  Tigranes,  king  of  Syria;  8,  sculpture  at 
Persepolis;  9,  Koman,  civic,  of  leaves,  from  a  coin. 
See  page  36. 


DI'-AL.  (Ileb.  MAALOTH,  degrees).  The  earliest 
mention  of  the  sun-dial  is  among  the  Babylonians, 
640  B.  C.  Herodotus  says  tlie  Greeks  aUoirti'd  it 
from  them,  as  also  the  division  of  the  day  into  12 
parts,  being  introduced  to  Greece  by  the  astrono- 
mer Berosus,  the  Chaldean,  The  first  notice  of 
"the  horn-"  is  by  Daniel  (iii.  6).  The  degrees  of 
Ahaz  (2  K.  xx.  11),  cannot  be  explained.  It  may 
have  reference  to  a  dial  with  degrees  (lines  num- 
bered). This  might  have  been  a  present  from 
Tiglath  Piieser,  the  ally  of  Ahaz,  and  made  in 
Babylon. 

DJ'-A-MOND  (Heb.  yahalom,  precious  stone,  and 
PH.\MER,  sharp  point).    Tlie  hardest   and   most 


precious  of  all  the  gems.  One  w&s  in  the  sacred 
breast-plate  of  the  nigh  priest,  though  some  say 
that  (yahdlom)  was  an  onyx.  Ezekiel  speaks  of 
making  his  forehead  hard  as  a  diamond  (shamir, 
adamant  in  A.  V.  Ez.  iii.  9),  and  Jeremiah  of  an 
iron  pen  pointed  with  a  diamond  (Jer,  xvii.  1),  and 
Zechariah,  of  hearts  as  hard  as  an  adamant  stone 
(vii.  12).  The  same  word  shamir  i^  Hebrew  for 
briej. 

DIAN'A,  Latin.  (Greek, 
Artemis).  The  twin  sister  of 
Apollo,  the  sun-god.  She  is 
the  moon  goddess.  The  As- 
syrians named  them  Adram- 
melecli  and  Anamelech.  Di- 
ana was  called  tlie  goddess  of 
hunting,  chastity,  marriage,? 
and  nocturnal  incantations.  In 
Palestine  the  name  was  Ash- 
TORETH.  The  services  were 
performed  by  women  (melis- 
sai),  and  eunuchs  (Tnegabis- 
soj),with  a  higli priest  (essene). 
The  great  temple  at  Ephesus, 
and  grove  at  Daphne  were  the 
most  noted  shrines  of  this  wor- 
ship. The  image  at  Ephesus 
was  said  to  have  fallen  out  of 
heaven  complete!  The  great 
temple  was  425  by  220  feet,  and 
had   127  columns  of   marble,  diana. 

each  60  feet  high.  See  Ephesus,

Gomer  (Hos.  i.  3). 

DIB  LATH.  By  some  supposed  to  be  the  same  as 
EIBLAH.  By  others  it  is  located  in  Moab,  where  it 
is  applied  to  a  district  in  which  was  Almon-Dibla-

Mined,  also  fruitful  in  palms,  is  thought  to  be  the 
the  real  location;  where  there  is  a  tribe  of  Arabs 
Duklai.  (Burckhardt).  (Gen,  x.  27,  31;  1  Clir.  i.

DISSOLVE,    To  explain  (Dan.  v.  16). 

DISPEE,  SION,  THE  JEWS  OF  THE.  Those  who 
remained  in  Babylonia  after  the  return  from  captiv- 
ity were  called  the  "dispersed,  or  "of  the  disper- 
sion," or  in  Heb.  "  stripped  naked."  "  Removed  " 
in  Deut.  xxviii.  25;  Jer.  xxxiv.  17.  This  included 
the  12  tribes.  The  Jewish  faith  succeeded  to  tlie 
kingdoyn  of  David  at  the  return  of  the  remnant, 
and  faithful  Jews  everywhere  contributed  tlie  half- 
shekel  to  the  temple  services  (Jos.  Ant,  xviii.  9, 1). 
Three  sections  of  the  dispersion  are  noticed  in  his- 
tory, of  Babylon,  of  Syria,  and  of  Egypt.  The 
Greek  conciuests  extended  the  limits  of  the  dis- 
persed, by  securing  greater  liberties  to  the  Jews. 
See  Antiochus,  the  Great.  Tlie  African  dis- 
persion centred  at  Alexandria,  the  best  fruit  of 
which  is  the  Septuagint.  After  the  rise  of  the  Jews, 
in  Trajan's  time,  they  were  nearly  exterminated 
and  the  remnant  driven  into  Europe.  Those  in 
Eome  followed  Pompey  after  liis  victories  in  the 
East.  Tliey  were  banished  from  the  city  under 
Claudius,  because  they  "were  continually  raising 
distiu:bances,  Chrestus  being  tlieir  leader  "  (.Sueto- 
nius, c.  2.5).  Probably  on  account  of  their  op]io- 
sition  to  the  preaching  of  Christ  by  Paul  and 
others.  The  dispersion  influenced  the  spread  of 
the  gospel,  because  the  apostles  and  preachers  fol- 
lowed the  Jews  into  "  aU  the  world  "  (Acts  ii.). 

DISTAFF.    Spinning.     (Prov.  xxxi.  19). 

DI'VES.  AGreek  word  meaning  rich,  which  Jesus 


used  in  the  parable  of  Lazurus  and  the  "rich" 
man  (Lukt*  xvi.  19).  It  has  since  Cliaucer's  time 
(see  Sompnoure's  Tale,  "Lazarand  Dives")  been 
used  in  theological  literature  as  a  proper  name.

oracles;  by  arrows  (see  AssjTian  sculptures,  where 
the  king  holds  divining  arrows,  or  a  rod) ;  and  also 
by  magic  arts.  Plato  calls  it  science  without  rea- 
son. It  was  taught  that  the  gods  gave  signs  of  fu- 
ture events,  all  through  the  universe,  and  that  men 
of  observation  and  study  could  read  those  signs. 
ISIoses  condemned  the  wliole  system  (^Deut.  xviii. 
10-12),  and  those  who  practiced  it  as  impious  im- 
postors. The  desire  to  know  the  future  was  pro- 
per, and  would  be  gratified  by  God's  own  proph/t, 
who  should  speak  as  he  was  inspired.  This  super- 
stition is  found  among  all  people,  at  this  day,  and 
is  even  now  practiced  under  the  name  of  clairvoy- 
ants, second-sight,  trance-mediums,  seventh  daiigh- 
ter  or  son,  by  cards,  water,  rods,  palm,  etc.  The 
result  of  such  practices  is  the  same  in  all  ages,  a 
certain  loss  of  judgment,  of  purity,  and  piety,  and 
is  as  hateful  now  as  ever  (1  Sam.  xv.  23).  The  di- 
vination by  lot  seems  to  be  an  exception,  and  is 
said  to  be  divine  (Prov.  xvi.  33),  and  with  the  He- 
brews was  conducted  solemnly  and  with  religious 
preparations  (Josh.  vii.  13),  as  m  the  case  of  Achan 
and  of  the  division  of  the  Promised  Land  (Num. 
xxvi.  55),  the  election  of  Saul  as  king  (1  Sam.  x. 
20),  and  the  chosing  of  Matthias  to  the  vacant 
apostleship  (Acts  i.  26).  Many  appearances  are 
recorded  as  of  the  direct  work  of  God,  as  the  ser- 
pent rod  of  Moses;  leprous  hand;  burning  bush: 
plagues;  cloud;  Aaron's  budding  rod;  the  dew  of 
Gideon,  etc.,  and  also  visions  (Num.  xii.  6).  See 
Cup  on  p.  37. 


DIVORCE.  The  law  of  Moses  is  found  in  Deut. 
xxiv.  1-4,  and  xxii.  19,  29.  The  original  words  are 
some  iincleanness  (Heb.  erv.vth  dabar),  and  are 
very  loosely  explained  by  the  Jewish  doctors,  so 
that  many  causes  for  divorce  were  admitted.  One 
school  (Shammai)  limited  it  to  a  moral  cause,  and 
another  (Hillel)  included  many  others:  as  a  bad

food  when  cooking.  When  Jesus  was  appealed  to 
(Matt.  V.  31,  with  a  view  to  entangle  him  in  their 
disputes),  he  said.  The  practice  allowed  by  the 
Mosaic  law  of  divorcing  a  wife  without  crime  on 
her  part,  and  on  the  ground  of  dislike  or  disgust, 
is  opposed  to  the  original,  divine  idea  of  marriage : 
according  to  which  a  man  and  his  wife  are  joined 
together  by  God,  to  be  one  flesh,  and  are  not  to  be 
put  asunder  by  man.  lie  who  puts  away  his  wife 
by  a  bill  of  divorce  without  her  crime,  causes  her 
to  commit  adultery  by  placing  it  within  her  power 
to  marry  another  man.  The  party  who  permits  the 
divorce  is  criminal  in  marrying  again.  The  mere 
exchange  of  a  piece  of  writfng  will  not  dissolve  the 
spiritual  bond.  Unless  the  union  is  dissolved  by 
crime,  any  who  unite  with  either  party  are  crim- 
inal. 

The  apostle  Paul  allowed  (1  Cor.  viii.)  separation 
of  a  believer  from  an  unbeliever,  but  not  to  marry 
another,  but  to  seek  reconciliation  and  reunion. 
In  the  Roman  church  a  marriage  with  an  unbe- 
liever may  be  annulled  by  the  believer,  who  may 
marry  another.  Some  Protestants  follow  the  same 
custom,  and  also  in  case  of  desertion.  See  Mar- 
riage.

DOG  (lleb.  KELEB,  seizer;  Ar.  Mb).  From  most 
ancient  times  the  humble  friend  and  servant  of

and  Egypt.  Mentioned  as  sliepherd  dogs  by  Job 
(xxx.  1);  Moses  as  property  (Deut.  xxiii.  18),  and 
Solomon  (Eccles.  ix.  4).  'the  vile  rulers  of  Israel 
were  compared  to  dogs  by  Isaiah  (Ivi.  10,  11). 
The  dog  is  almost  ownerless  in  the  East,  and  runs, 
half-wild,  in  tlie  streets;  never  caressed,  or  made 
pets  of,  and  seldom  admitted  to  a  house  or  tent. 
They  eat  anything  tliat  comes  in  their  way,  and 
also  each  other,  if  a  dog  strays  from  his  proper  dis-

any  day  or  night  in  any  city  of  the  East.     Byron 
writes  in  his  Siege  of  Coruith  : 

"He  saw  the  lean  dogs,  beneath  the  wall, 
Hold  o'er  the  dead  their  carnival ; 
Gorging  and  growling  o'er  carcass  and  limb, 
They  were  too  busy  to  bark  at  him." 

David  wrote  of  Saul's  hired  assassins  lying  in 
wait  to  kill  him:  "They 
return  at  evening  :   they 
make  a  noise  like  a  dog, 
and  go  round   about  the 
city.     Let  them   wander 
lip   and  down  for  meat, 
and  grudge  if  they  be  not 
satisfied"    (Ps.    lix.    6). 
He  also  speaks  of  them 
in  Ps.  xxii.  1(5,  20.    The 
caravans  to  Mecca  have 
many  dogs,   going  from 
Egypt,  Syria  and  Persia. 
The  dog  was  held  to  be 
unclean,    and     was     de- 
spised,  and  is  now,   the 
name  being  a  term  of  re- 
proach,    commonly     ap- 
plied to  Christians  by  the 
Mohammedans.

The  door  is  generally  of  wood,  and  sometimes  of

side use.    In  the  llauran  are  now  to  be  seen  doors 
of  stone,  turning  on  hinges  of  stone,  dating  from 
antiquity.     Doors  and  doorways  in  the  East  are 
generally  small  and  mean  in  appearance  compared 
with  ours,  or  with  the  interior  to  which  they  open.

The  gates  of  cities  are  built  strong  for  defense, 
with  towers  and  chambers  (2  Sam.  xviii.  24),  and 
rooms  inside  for  public  assembly,  for  hearing  the 
news,  buying  or  selling,  or  judicial  affairs.  In 
Assyrian  cities  they  were  similar;  and  in  the  tem- 
l>les  were  highly  ornamented  with  sculpture  and 
colors.  The  doorway  in  the  engraving  from  tlie 
ruins  of  the  palace  (or  temple)  at  Koyunjik  (a 
part  of  Nineveh),  shows  the  magnificent  style  of 
sculpture,  in  the  use  of  ideal  figures  combining 
men,  and  animals,  and  birds.  (See  cut  on  page  54.)

of  the  gods  were  hidden  in  the  walls  and  floor 
as  a  kind  of  protection. 

The  Egyptian  ti'Uii)le  was  a  kind  of  fort,  with 
massive  walls,  and  a  gate  with  strong,  higii  towers. 
The  doors  had  double  leaves,  oiten  plated  with 
metal.  They  were  provided  with  locks  and  bars 
of  metal. 

Tiie  gates  of  Babylon  are  said  to  have  been  of 
bronze  (brass).  On  the  doors  of  Egypt  in  our 
day,  tliere  are  sentences  from  tlie  holy  book,  fol- 
lovving  the  aneient  custom  (Deut.  vi.  9;  Is.  liv.  12; 
Kev.  x.Ki.  21;  Lane,  Motl.  Egyptians,  ^Vilkinson). 
Petitions  were  presented  to  the  king  at  the  gate  ; 
and  tiie  gate  was  sometimes  made  a  place  of  buuc- 
tuary— a  refuge. for  crimiunls. 

Tlie  doors  of  Solomon's  Temple  are  described  as 
being  very  valuable,  richly  carved,  and  overlaid 
with  gold  (I  K.  vi.  31,  etc).  Tliose  of  the  holyplace 
were  double.  The  Beautiful  Gate  of  lierod's 
Temple  is  said  to  have  been  of  Corinthian  brass 
(bronze),  (Jos.  Wars,  v.  5,  §  3),  and  required 
twenty  men  to  move  it. 

The"  gates  of  precious  stones  of  llevelations  and 
Isaiah  \vere  sugf^ested  to  the  writers  by  the  stone 
doors  of  the  liaaran,  which  are  often  several 
Indies  thick,  of  line  hard  bazalt,  beautifully 
carved. 

To  open,  or  lift  up  as  a  curtain,  a  door  to  a  com- 
ing guest,  was  and  is  an  especial  honor,  as  alluded 
to  in  Ps.  xxiv.  7. 

"I  would  rather  be  a  door-keeper  in  the  house 
of  my  God  than  dwell  in  the  tents  of  wickedness 
(Ps.  Ixxxiv.  10),  may  be  better  understood  as 
meaning  "I  would  rather  lay  at  the  door  of  the 
house  of  my  God  (like  Lazarus),  than  have  a 
home  in  their  tents."

Carrier  pigeons  are  figured  in  Egypt.  A  dove  has 
carried  a  letter  from  Babylon  to  Aleppo  in  two 
days.  The  dove's  dung  of  2  K.  vi.  2,  has  been

DRAG'ON  (Heb.  tannim,  dragons).  A  mammal,

(Job  xxx.  29);  probably  the  jackal,  which  has  a 
mournful  howl.  Another  (Heb.  tannin)  was  a 
great  sea  monster.  Used  as  a  metaphor  of  the 
Pharaoh  (Is.  li.  9;  Ez.  xxix.  3),  where  it  means  the 
crocodile  (see  Jer.  li.  34).  The  word  is  also  used 
as  a  metaphor  for  the  devil  in  Rev.  xii. 

DREAM.    We  know  that  God  needs  no  rest,  and 


is  as  active  when  we  sleep  as  when  we  wake,  and 
therefore  we  may  sup  pose  that  divine  iniluences 
fashion  our  dreams,  as  well  as  direct  our  waking 
thoughts.  It  is  supposed  tlmt  God  appeared  to 
]\loses,  Abraham,  Jacob  and  Joseph,  in  dreams. 
So  the  Greeks  believed  (Homer,  II.  i.  63).  Moses 
promised  such  visitations  (Xum.  xii.  6);  Peter 
(Acts  10),  and  Paul  (2  Cor.  xii.  1),  had  such 
dreams.  Jeremiah  condemns  tho.se  who  pretended

DRESS 

DEESS.  Oriental  di'ess  has  preserved  a  peculiar 
tmiionnity  in  all  ages,  from  Abraham  to  the  mod- 
em Bedawin.  I'lie  monument  at  Behistun  exhibits 
tlie  antiquity  of  the  costume,  which  can  be  com- 
pared with  that  of  figures  of  modern  Syrians  and 
Egyptians.  The  dress  for  men  and  women  differed 
but  very  little;  many  articles  being  worn  by  both 
in  common,  varied  only  by  the  manner  of  putting 
them  on.  Men  wore  the  shawl  over  the  head  and 
shoulders,  or  over  the  shoulders,  while  the  women 
used  it  around  the  waist. 

The  draiccrs  are  scant  or  full,  gathered  around 
the  waist,  and  show,  when  on,  as  in  the  figure  of 
Bedawin,  p.  20,  and 
of  the  woman  in  street 
costume.  They  are 
fastened  just  below 
the  Icnee  by  garters. 

The  shirt  reaches 
to,  or  falls  a  little 
below  the  knees,  and 
Is  worn  outside  of  the 
drawers  generally,  as 
in  the  picture  of  Sy- 
rians, p.  73.  When 
dressed  in  the  draw- 
ers and  shirt  only,  a 
person  was  said  to  be 
naked  (Mark  xiv. 
61 ) .  Tliey  also  wear 
a  vest,  hke  ours,  but- 
toned up  to  the  chin. 
Tlie  buttons  are  sew- 
ed on  the  edge  of  the  garment,  and  passed  through 
a  loop,  never  using  a  Duttonhole. 

The  coat  has  sleeves  to  the  vsrist,  or  longer,  and 
skirts  to  the  knees  or  ankles. 

Over  the  coat  is  worn  tlie  girdle  (Acts  xxi.  11), 
wliich  is  two  or  three  yards  long  and  about  half  a 
yard  wide,  and  is  made  of  any  material,  from  a 
strip  of  leather  or  a  rope,  to  the  finest  silk,  with 
embroidery.  The  coat,  when  cut  off  at  the  hips,  i; 
sometimes  embroidered  very  highly.  Tlie  same 
garment  is  worn  by  women,  and  is  called  Yelek. 
This  is  the  robe  of  ceremony  for  both  sexes,  re- 
ferred to  in  1  K.  V.  5,  and  2  Chr.  ix.  4,  and  (the 
long  skirt)  the  present  that  Jehu  gave  the  prophets 
of  Baal  (2K.  X.  2:2).

The  doak  (abba,  lebush)  is  a  large  square 
bag,  open  on  one  side,  with  holes  at  the  upper 
comers  for  the  hands,  and  a  band  around  the 
neck.  Goat's  or  camel's  liair  is  used  in  the  desert 
(Matt.  iii.  4)  as  worn  by  John  the  Baptist.  Jo- 
seph's coat  of  (many)  colors  was  of  this  pattern; 
and  such  rich  garments  are  common  among  the 
wealthy,  being  made  of  silk  or  wool,  and  richly 
«'mbroided.  The  same  garment  is  called  a  burnoos 
when  it  has  a  hood,  as  worn  in  Algeria.  The  hpl<-e 
is  a  square  sliawl,  folded  cornerwise,  and  worn  as  in 
the  cut  of  Egyptians.  Bedawins  use  a  cloth  woven 
with  threads  of  silver  or  gold,  called  Akal.  The  head 
is  covered  first  with  a  white  cotton  cap  (libdch),  over 
whieli  is  worn  the  tarlmnh  (see  Head-dress),  a  red 
woolen  cap,  generally  with  a  blue  tassel.  Around

Jewesses  did  not  vail  their  faces,  but  covered  the 
hair  only.  Women  wear  the  hair  long,  braided, 
curled,  etc.,  and  decorated  with  jewels  and  coins. 
Men  generally  shave  the  head  (2  Sam.  xiv.  26). 
The  ancient  Jews  probably  wore  the  hair  as  low 
as  the  ears  or  neck,  and,  as  Josephus  says  of 
the  body-guard  of  Solomon,  used  powder  (Ant. 
viii.  7,  3).  In  mourning  the  head  was  shaved  (Is. 
xxiL  12,  etc.). 


There  are  many  ornaments  in  use  for  the  hair, 
head,  ears,  nose,  and  neck,  not  very  much  different 
from  those  in  use  here;  except  the  nose-ring.  The 
eyebrows  and  lashes  are  frequently  colored. 

The  feet  are  loosely  covered,  and  are  seldom  de- 
foimed  as  ours  are  by  tight  shoes.  The  inner  slip- 
pers are  very  soft,  and  only  worn  in  the  house;  the 
over-shoes  and  boot  being  worn  out  doors,  and 
always  left  at  the  door.  Stockings  and  leggings 
for  cold  weather  are  in  common  use. 


Sandals  are  still  used  in  the  house,  but  could 
never  have  been  in  common  use  out  doors,  because 
of  the  many  thorns  and  briers.  The  Eiibcobs  are 
high  wooden  stilts,  used  in  the  bath,  or  on  wet 
floors.    Sandals.

pose it  related  to  the  splendor  by  which  all  things 
are  enlightened.  He  also  appointed  the  breasts 
plate  to  be  placed  in  the  middle  of  the  ephod,  to 
resemble  the  earth,  for  that  has  the  very  middle 
place.  And  the  girdle  wliich  encompassed  the 
high  priest  round,  signified  tlie  ocean,  for  that  goes 
round  about  and  includes  the  universe.  *  *  *  * 
And  for  the  turban,  which  was  of  a  blue  color,  it 
seems  to  me  to  mean  heaven,  for  how  otherwise 
could  the  name  of  God  be  inscribed  upon  it?" 

Exodus  xxviii.:  "And  these  are  the  garments 
which  they  shall  make— the  breast-plate,  and  the 
ephod,  and  the  robe,  and  the  coat  of  checker- work, 
the  tmban,  and  the  girdle;"  all  of  which  were  pe- 
culiar to  and  worn  only  by  the  high  priest. 

In  this  description  the  under-garnients  are  not 
mentioned.  In  verse  -I'J,  linen  drawers  are  directed 
to  be  worn,  and  it  may  be  presumed  that  the  other 
undergarments  worn "  by  the  upper  cla.sses  were 
used  by  the  priests. 

Breilstplate  (v.  4,  U>).  This  was  embroidered,  in 
two  halves  sewed  together,  the  front  to  receive  the 
12  stones,  and  the  back  to  shield  the  .studs;  and 
besides,  so  as  to  fit  the  chest  better,  because  the 
stuff  was  thick  and  stiff  from  embroidery,  and  the 
fine  wires  of  gold  worked  into  the  design.  The 
making  of  the  wires  is  described  in  xxxix.  .3.  In 
it  were  set  foirr  rows  of  engraved  stones,  bearing 
the  names  of  the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel.  Each 
stone  was  set  in  a  rim  of  gold,  like  a  cameo  (or 
breast-pin),  with  a  button  or  stud  at  the  back, 
which  was  put  through  a  button-hole  in  the  breast- 
plate. Putting  the  twelve  stones  into  their  places 
was  a  solemn  service,  showing  the  presence  of  the 
twelve  tribes  before  the  altar  of  Jehovah,  and  they 
were  called  lights  and  perfections — (Urini  and 
Thmnmim) .    It  was  two  spans  high,  and  one  wide. 

Two  cord-like  chains  of  gold  wire  were  fastened  to 
the  upper  corners  of  the  breast-plate  by  two  rings  of 
gold  (v.  14),  which  were  attached  to  the  engraved 
stones  on  the  shoulders,  one  to  each  stone.  Two 
gold  rings  on  the  lower  corners  of  the  breastplate 
were  opposite  two  rings  in  the  girdle ;  and  a  blue 
cord  tied  the  rings  together. and  kept  the  breast- 
plate in  its  place  (v.  26,  27,  28).

EAGLE  (Heb.  nesher;  Ar.  iiiss'r,  to  tear  with  ih» 
baal-) .  Eagles  are  found  in  all  parts  of  the  world, 
and  there  are  several  species  in  Palestine.  1. 
Imperial.  2.  Short-toed.  3.  Golden.  4.  Spotted. 
6.  White-tailed.  6.  Bonelli's  eagle.  7.  Gier 
eagle,  or  Egyptian  vulture,  and  others.  The 
NESHER  is  hot  an  eagle,  but  a  Griffon-vul- 
ture, which  is  found  in  all  hot  countries  of  the 
old  world.  It  measures  nearly  five  feet ; 
eight  feet  extent  of  wing.  The  allusion  in 
Matthew  (xxiv.  2s),  "wheresoever  the  car- 
case is,  there  will  the  eagles  be  gathered 
together,"  refers  to  vultures,  because  eagles 
do  not  gather  more  than  two  or  three,  while 
vultures  assemble  in  large  flocks.  Its  bare 
head  is  alluded  to  in  Micah  i.  16.  Job  men- 
tions its  strong  eye-sight  and  wing  (xxxix. 
27-30).  "The  cliffs  are  perforated  with 
caves  at  all  bights,  wholly  inaccessible  to 
man,  the  secure  resting  place  ol  liundreds 
of  noble  griffons."  {'J'ristrain,  Lund  of  Is- 
rael.) This  gorge  was  the  one  Josephus  de- 
scribes near  Arlicla  as  inhabited  by  robbers, 
who  WTre  dislodged  with  great  labor  and 
hard  fighting  .  The  god  Nisroch,  specially 
worshiped  by  Sennacherib,  the  Assyrian,  was 
a  vulture-headed  figure,  with  wings!  Ezekiel 
and  John  use  this  vulture  as  one  of  the  heads 
in  their  .spnbolic  figure  (Ez.  x.  14;  Rev.  iv. 
6).  Its  longevity  is  alluded  to  in  Ps.  ciii.  5. 
"Thy  youth  is  renewed  like  the  eagle's," 
(nesher).  One  was  kept  in  Vienna  104 
years.  They  are  always  in  sight  in  the  East, 
every  day  in  the  year.  Its  care  for  its  young 
is  twice  used  as  ah  example  of  (lod's  fatherly 
care  (Deut.  xxxii.  11;  Ex.  xix.  4). 

The  gier  eagle  (Lev.  xi.  18),  called  in  He- 
brew and  Arabic  rachmah,  and  is  the  mod- 
ern Pharaoh's  Hen,  or  Egyptian  Vulture. 
It  is  migratory  in  Palestine,  and  ranges  from 
Asia  IVfinor  to  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope.  The 
DAYAH  is  probablv  a  kite  (Lev.  xi.  14),  of 
which  four  kinds  are  known  in  Palestine.

and  for  fuel.  Its  use  as  manure  is  very  much 
the  same  as  with  us.  For  fuel  it  is  carefully  dried. 
Many  poor  people  spread  cow  dung  on  the  outside 
of  tlieir  houses  to  dry  for  fuel  (Ezr.  iv.  12.)  See 
Deut.  xxiii.  12.  The  word  was  omitted  in  writing, 
as  in  2  K.  x.  27,  where  draught-hoiifie  is  substituted. 
One  of  the  gates  of  Jerusalem  was  named  Dung- 


The  golden  eagle  lives  in  pairs  only,  and  re- 
quires a  wide  range  of  country,  five  pairs  occupy- 
ing as  much  as  twenty  miles.  It  is  smaller  than 
the  Griffon,  and  not  so  strong. 

The  short^toed  eagle  is  sti'ong,  heavy,  and  hand- 
some, about  two  feet  long,  dark  brown,  and 
marked  with  black  spots.      There  are  twice  as 


te  (Neh.  iii.  1.3,  Dung  Port).    Public  execration  I  many  of  these  as  of  all  the  other  eagles  put  to-

DUST.    An  image  of  what  is  low,  mean  and  im-  !  from  half  an  inch  to  three  inches  across.   The  nose 
pure.    Abraham  calls  himself  but  dust  and  ashes  '  ring  is  peculiar  to  the  East,  and 
(Gen.  xviii.  27).    In  times  of  grief  and  mourning  i  is  mentioned  in  Genesis  (xxiv. 
the  custom  in  the  East  is  to  sit  in  the  dust,  and  to    47),  where  Abraham's  .servant 
sprinkle  it  over  the  head.    To  throw  dust  on  one  ;  gave  one  to  Rebekah.    Except 
is  to  show  contempt  (as  Shiuiei  to  David,  2  Sam.  |  the  nose  ring  men  wear  nearly 
xvi.   13),  and  the  Jews  to  Paul  (Acts  xxii.  23). 
Shaking  the  dust  off  the  feet  was  to  leave  it  as  a 
testimony  to  the  great  wickedness  of  the  persons 
who  had  offended.     To  lick  the  dust  is  to  be  pros- 
trated or  subdued;  to  put  the  mouth  in  the  dust  is 
to  show  great  humility.     To  rehui'U  to  the  dust  is 
a  term  for  death.     The  dust  of  the  desert  some- 
times is  carried  by  whirlwinds  to  great  distances, 
land  falling,  covers  a  caravan  or  the  fertile  land, 
leaving  desolation  in  its  track.

sides  of  the  face,  and  across  the  forehead  sewed  to 
the  edge  of  the  tarbush  (see  Head  Dkess).  Some 
ear-rings  in  the  East  are  very  large;  two  or  even 
tluee  inches  across,  and  are  loaded  with  pearls, 
precious  stones,  or  glass. 


EAETH  (Heb.  kketz,  Gr.  Ge).  Laiid  and  wa-

Hebrew  writers  ofti-n  used  the  term  as  we  now  use 
it,  if  meaning  a  local  and  limited  space  (James  v. 
17;  Lev.  iv.  25),  and  especially  in  the  account  of  the 
crucifixion,  where  the  darkiiess  may  have  been 
over  all  the  land  of  Israel,  but  probably  not  over 
all  the  globe  (Matt,  xxvii.  45;  Lukexxiii.  44). 

EARTH  QUAKES.  Earthquakes  ha\'e  been  fre-

may  be  ti-aced  at  Aleppo  (1616,  1H12),  Antioch 
(17'37),  Laodicea,  Beirut,  Sidon,  Tyre,  Safed,  and 
Tiberias  (1837).  One  is  mentioned  in  the  time  of 
King  Uzziah  (Zech.  xiv.  5):  another  in  31  B.  C, 
when  a  great  part  of  Jerusalem  was  de-troyed  and 
10,000  persons  killed.  Josephus  speaks  'of  one

tains may  have  given  the  name  lEdom,  which  is  red 
in  the  original.  The  ancient  name  was  Mt.  Seir. 
Seir  means  rugged.  On  the  E.  side  of  W.  Arabah, 
from  Elath  oil  the  S.  to  Moab  on  the  N.,  at  the 
brook  Zered  (Deut.  ii.  13,  14,  18),  about  100  ms. 
long  by  20  ms.  wide.  The  wliole  country  is  wild, 
rugged,  and  full  of  deep  glens,  but  is  also  very  fer- 
tile on  the  terraces;  while  the  di>.sert  on  each  side 
is  barren.  The  people  dwelt  amid  the  rocky 
hights,  in  caves  and  houses  perched  on  dizzy 
crags,  like  eagles  in  their  nests,  living  by  their 
swords  (Gen.  xxvii.  40;  Jer.  xlix.  IG^;  yet,  as 
Isaac  promised,  this  land  possessed  "the  fatness 
of  the  earth,  and  of  the  dew  of  heaven"  (Gen. 
xxvii.  39).  The  ancient  capital  was  Bozrah.  Sela 
{Pctrci)  was  the  stronghold,  and  Ezion-geber  its 
seaport  where  Solomon  built  a  fleet  (2  Sam.  viii. 
14;  1  K.  ix.  20).  The  crusaders  built  a  fortress 
12  ms.  N.  of  Petra,  on  Mons.  Regalis,  now  a  ruin, 
called  Shobek.  The  people  were  always  idolaters 
(2  Chr.  xxv.  14;  Jos.  Ant.  xv.  17,  §  9).  The  rock 
temples  and  dwellings  of  Edom  were  cut  in  a  soft 
rock;  were  large,  airy,  well  lighted  and  dry,  and  a 
safe  protection  against  robbers.

Dera,  in  the  open  plain  of  the 
Hauran,  14  ms.  S.  of  the  former. 
The  ruins  of  Edhra  are  extensive 
and  important  above  any  other  of 
the  region;  on  a  rocky  projection 
from  the  Lejah,  3  ms.  in  circuit, 
raised  30  feet  above  the  plain, 
which  is  wide  and  of  unequalled 
fertility.  The  walls,  roofs  and 
doors  are  of  a  dark  stone.  There 
were  many  public  buildings. — 2.

EDUCATION.  The  Jews  were 
strictly  charged  in  the  law  to  edu- 
cate their  children  (Deut.  iv.  9),  but  probably  only 
in  moral  and  religious  discipline.  The  exceptions 
were  those  who  were  intended  for  priestly  or  civil

EGYPT.  It  would  be  interesting  and  valuable 
if  we  could  give  here  a  full  account  of  all  the 
monuments  which  confirm  scripture,  found  in 
Egypt;  but  as  that  would  fill  a  large  volume,  we 
must  admit  only  a  few  illustrations,  referring  tlie 
student  to  the  larger  works. 

Concerning  Abraham,  we  find  that  the  account 
of  his  visit  to  Egypt  is  confirmed  by  many  facts 
which  may  be  compared  with  the  history,  laws  and 
customs  of  the  country  as  found  in  Wilkinson, 
Lane,  and  other  writers.  The  principal  points 
illustrated  by  evidence  derived  from  Egypt  are:  1. 
That  Egypt  was  then  a  rich,  powerful,  end  civilized 
nation.  2.  The  lower  part,  or  Delta,  was  dry.  3. 
Its  kings  were  call- 
ed Pharaoh.  4.  Slav- 
ery was  an  institu- 
tion. 5.  There  was 
a  famine  in  Canaan 
and  an  abundance 
in  Egypt.  6.  Abra- 
ham's wife,  Sarah, 
was  fair  and  did  not 
wear  a  veil.  7.  Pha- 
raoh wished  to  ]ilao<' 
Sarah  in  his  harem. 
8.  Abraham  was 
well  received  as  a  / 
shepherd.  9.  He 
had  sheep,  oxen, 
!  asses,  men  and  maid 
servants,  and  cam- 
els. 10.  Abraliam 
accepted  Pharaoh's 
gifts  because  he 
dared  not  refuse 
them,  for  the  custom 
of  the  time  then,  as 
well  as  now,  makes 
the  refusal  of  a  pres- 
ent an  insult. 

Joseph  was  sold 
to  the  Ishmaelites 
for  a  household  ser- 
vant; was  bought  by 
Potiphar,  an  oSicer 
of  Pharaoh ;  made 
an  overseer  in  the 
king's  house ;  was 
tempted  by  Potiphar's  wife ;  thrown  in  prison  ; 
interpreted  the  king's  dream;  was  elevated  to  of- 
fice; was  invested  with  a  ring  and  robes  of  office, 
a  gold  chain ;  had  his  name  changed  to  an  Egyptian 
one;  and  was  married  to  Asenath,  daughter  to  a 
priest  of  On. 

The  ring  of  Suphis,  here  engraved,  was  found 
on  a  mummy  in  the  necropolis  of  Sakkara,  near 
Memphis,  is  of  pure  gold,  massive,  and  is  now  in 
the  Abbott  Egyptian  Museum  of  the  Historical 
Society,  New   York.    The  mummy  was  entirely

cased  in  pure  gold,  every  limb,  even  to  the  fingers' 
ends,  beuig  -WTappcd  separately,  and  tho  whole 
was  inscribed  with  hieroglyjihies.  Joseph  was  em- 
balmed and  put  in  a  collin  ((Jen.  1.  26).  The 
mummy  cased  in  gold  is  of  the  age  of  Thothraes 
III,  the  Pharaoh  who  reigned  in  the  time  of  Jo- 
seph, whose  signet  was  found  attached  to  a  chain 
of  gold,  around  his  neck. 
The  seal  turns  on  a  swiv- 
el, and  so  has  two  tab- 
lets, which  are  engraved. 
The  whole  is  of  very  pure 
gold.  Pharaoh  made  Jo- 
seph a  ruler  over  all  the 
land  of  Egy^pt,  and  called 
him  Zaphnath-paane- 
AH  {preMrver  of  the  world) 
(Gen.  xli.  37-45.)  The 
seal  bears  the  name  of 
Pharaoh,  and  also  the  ti- 
tle "Paaneah."  (These, 
with  the  chain,  are  now 
in  the  Leyden  Museum. ) 
"He  made  him  to  ride  in 
the  second  chariot"  (v. 
43). 

"Xow  there  arose  np  a 
new  king  over  Egypt, 
which  knew  not  Joseph," 
ond  there  was  a  period  of  bondage  in  wliich  the 
Jews  were  held  untQ  the  time  of  Moses  and  the 
Exodiis. 

The  monuments  show  tis  the  taskmaster  and  his 
men,  the  several  kinds  of  work,  punishment  by 
the  bastinado,  etc. 

The  picture  on  p.  43,  is  in  the  tomb  of  Eoschere, 
at  Thebes.  Rosellini  (See  Ins  yreat  work  on  Egypt, 
in  the  Astor  Library)  saj's:  "Of  the  laborers,  sb)ue

the  skill  requisite  to  make  a  golden  image  of  a 
calf,  such  as  they  made  in  Sinai?"  As  proof  that 
they  had,  we  offer  the  pictures  on  the  monuments, 
showing  men  actually  at  work  at  the  furnaces, 
"tlie  refiner's  fire,"  weighing,  etc.  The  "calf" 
they  made  was  an  image  of  the  Egyptian  god 
Apis,  which  was  a  live  bull,  kept  at  ftlemphis;  and 
they  had  probably,  while  slaves,  made  many  im- 
ages of  him  for  use  in  all  parts  of  the  country. 

Selections  might  be  madt^  shovnng  workers  in 
nearly  every  industry  known  in  the  East,  but  the 
student  will  be  better  satisfied  with  the  larger 
works;  and  we  have  given  enough  here  to  point 
the  argument,  that  the  scriptures  are  true. 

Long  after  the  Exodus,  "Shishak,  king  of 
Egypt,  came  up  against  Jerusalem"  (2  Chr.  xii. 
2).  and  on  one  of  the  walls  in  a  temple  at  Karnac 
there  is  a  picture  of  63  prisonei's,  each  one  repre- 
senting a  city,  tribe,  or  nation,  and  among  them  is 
a  "king  of  the  country  of  Judah."  The  names 
of  Beth-horon,  ]Megiddo,  Mahanaim,  and  other 
cities  in  Palestine,  are  there,  on  shields.  There 
are  84  names  of  persons  or  places  of  Canaan  on 
the  monuments  at  Abu  Simbel,  Thebes,  and  other 
ruins  in  Egvpt,  written  in  hieroglyphics.  (See 
Shishak.)  The  word  mizraim  {the  two  Efjypts)  in 
the  Hebrew  Scriptures  is  translated  Egypt  in  many 
passages  (Ez.  xxix.  10,  etc.).  Misr  is  red  rmia 
in  Arabic.  The  name  on  the  monuments  is  kem 
(black).  fpi>er  E.  extended  from  the  cataracts 
to  Memphis,  and  was  called  Thebais;  and  Lower 
E.  from  Memphis  to  the  sea  called  the  Delta. 
Upper  E.  was  also  called  Pathros  (Is.  xi.  11). 
Land  of  Ham  (Ps.  cv.  23).  The  sign  for  Upper 
E.  was  a  bent  reed,  and  for  iiOwer  E.  a  bee  (Is.

the  king  of  Elam  was  one  of  tlie  most  powerful  in

and  respect  given  to  persona  in  au- 
thority (Gen.  xxiv.  2;  1.  7),  as  stew- 
ards or  as  master  workmen.  The 
eider  was  a  political  officer  among 
the  Hebrews,  Moabites,  Midianites 
and  Egyptians  (Num.  xxii.  7).  The 
office  is  the  keystone  of  the  political 
system  among  the  modern  Syrians,  wlio  use  the 
name  Sheikh,  which  means  old  innn,  for  the  chief 
or  head  of  the  tribe.  Moses  adopted  the  idea  and 
regulated  its  use  by  laws  (Ex.  iii.  IG;  iv.  29). 
Their  authority  was  almost  unlimited,  within  the 
law  and  customs  (Josh.  ix.  18).  They  became 
judges  or  magistrates  in  Canaan,  in  the  local 
towns,  sitting  m  the  gates  (Deut.  xix.  12).  They 
are  called  the  Senate  in  1  Mace.  xii.  0.  See  Syna-

'ELECT  {chosen,  selected).  Election.  The  desig- 
nation of  persons  to  office  (Acts  ix.  15) ;  of  people

(Deut.  vii.  6-8)  and  of  a  definite  number  of  per- 
sons to  eternal  life  (2  Thess.  ii.  13).  This  subject 
belongs  to  the  mysteries  of  God  and  cannot  be  so 
cleai'ly  stated  as  to  leave  no  uncertainty  in  the 
mind.  The  position  is :  that  God  does  and  will 
save  a  number  of  persons,  and  He  does  this  accord- 
ing to  a  plan  which  he  formed  before  the  world 
was  made;  and  he  has  never,  and  never  will  change 
that  plan  (Eph.  i.  4;  2  Tim.  i.  9);  their  election  is 
of  free  grace  and  love,  and  not  for  any  good  in  the 
person  ^Eph.  i.  5);  the  redemption  of'Clirist  is  in- 
cluded in  the  great  plan.  This  plan  enters  into 
our  destiny  as  a  controlling  element;  as,  it  may  be 
said  by  analogy,  tlie  patriotic  determination  of 
AVashihgton  resulted  in  the  independence  of  our 
country;  and  the  plans  of  a  father  determines 
where 'his  family  shall  reside,  the  college  his  son 
shall  attend,  and  the  studies  he  shall  pursue.

ELI'JAH  (Ileb.  em'ahtj,  God-JaJi,  EUJehorah). 
On  his  first  appearance  he  is  simplv  denominated 
"Elijah  the  Tishbite,  of  the  inhabitants  of  Gilead  " 
(1  K.  xvii.  1).  It  is  supposed  that  Thisbe,  in 
Galilee,  was  the  birth-place  of  Elijah,  but  there  is 
no  proof.  Such  points  were  left  in  doubt  that  he 
might  be  known  and  thought  of  simply  as  ths 
great  prophet  reformer.  In  this  light  alone  he 
appears  in  the  sacred  history.  His  one  grand  ob- 
ject was  to  awaken  Israel  to  the  conviction  that 
Jehovah,  Jehovah  alone  is  God.  The  period  of 
Israelitish  history  at  which  Elijah  appeared  was 
one  that  emphatically  called  for  the  living  exhibi- 
tion of  this  great  truth.  It  was  that  period  of 
Ahab's  apostasy,  when,  through  the  influence  and 
example  of  his  wife  Jez(>bel  he  formally  introduced 
the  worship  of  other  gods  into  Israel.  In  the  lan- 
guage of  the  sacred  historian,  "  It  seemed  a  light 
thing  for  him  to  walk  in  the  sins  of  Jeroboam,  the 
son  of  Nebat;  he  took  the  daughter  of  Ethbaal  to 
wife,  and  served  I'aal,  and  worshiped  him.  He 
reared  up  an  altar  for  Baal  in  the  house  of  Baal, 
in  Samaria"  (1  K.  xvi.  31).  He  did  not  rest,  like 
his  predecessors,  with  the  corrupt  worship  of 
Jehovah  under  the  form  of  a  calf,  but  brought  in 
the  worship  of  the  Tyrian  Baal,  with  its  usual  ac- 
companiment of  the  'Asherah  pollutions— the  lites 
of  the  Syrian  Venus.  Hence  he  enters  on  the 
work  assigned  him  as  the  special  servant  of  Je- 
hovah, arid  in  his  name  announces  what  shall 
absolutely  come  to  pass,  confident  that  there  is  no 
power  in  heaven  or  earth  capable  of  reversing 
the  word.  "And  Elijah  said  unto  Ahab,  As  Je- 
hovah, God  of  Israel  liveth,  beioro  whon.  I  stand,

ELIJAH 


ELIOENAI 


there  shall  not  be  dew  nor  vair.  these  years,  but 
according  to  my  word "  (1  K.  xvli.  1).  After  the 
utterance  of  a  word  by  which  the  genial  influences 
of  heaven  were  to  be  laid  under  arrest  for  a 
series  of  years,  it  became  necessary  that  a  hid- 
ing place  should  be  provided  for  Elijah,  that 
he  might  escape  from  the  violence  of  those  in 
high  places,  and  from  the  importunities  of  others, 
wlio  might  try  to  prevail  upon  his  pity.  Such 
a  hiding-place  was  found  for  him  to  the  east 
—beyond  the  limits  of  the  kingdom  of  Israel— 
beside  the  brook  Cherith,  that  flowed  into  the  Jor-  ; 
dan.  There  he  found  not  only  water  from  the 
brook,  but  also  supplies  of  bread  and  flesh,  morn- 
ing and  evening,  ministered  at  (Jod's  connnand  by 
ravens.  The  brook  Cherith,  however,  in  course  o"f 
time  dried  up,  and  another  place  of  refuge  had  to 
be  provided  for  the  prophet.  This  was  found  in 
the  house  of  a  poor  widow,  with  an  only  son— and 
she  not  in  the  land  of  Israel,  but  at  Zarephath 
(Sarepta),  in  the  territory  of  Zidon,  the  native 
region  of  the  infamous  Jezebel  (1  K.  xvii.  9). 
Brought  by  divine  direction  to  the  place  and  to 
the  woman,  he  found  her  near  the  ga.te  of  the  city, 
gathering  a  few  sticks  to  prepare  her  last  meal, 
that  she  and  her  son  might  thereafter  die.  In  the 
confidence  of  faith  he  bids  her  go  and  bake  the 
bread  as  she  intended,  but  in  the  first  instance  to 
bring  a  portion  of  it,  with  a  little  water,  to  him, 
demanding  such  faith  from  her  as  he  himself  exer- 
cised toward  God.  And  he  added,  as  the  ground 
for  her  belief  and  his  own  demand,  "  For  thus  saith 
Jehovah,  God  of  Israel,  the  ban-el  of  meal  shall 
not  waste,  neither  shall  the  cruse  of  oil  fail  till  the 
day  that  Jehovah  sendeth  rain  on  the  earth."  On 
the  occasion  of  a  severe  illness  befalling  her  son, 
she  said  to  Elijah  in  a  petulant  tone,  "What  have 
I  to  do  with  thee,  O  thou  man  of  God  ?  Art  thou 
come  unto  me  to  call  my  sin  to  remembrance,  and 
to  slay  my  son?" 

Josephus  does  not  understand  that  the  child 
died.  Jewish  tradition  says  that  this  boy  after- 
wards became  a  servant  to  the  prophet,  and  also 
the  prophet  Jonah . 

This  seems  to  imply  that  she  looked  upon  him  as 
the  occasion  of  her  calamity,  and  that  it  would 
have  been  better  for  her  had  she  not  known  him. 
However  she  graciously  overlooked  what  might 
be  wrong  in  it;  as  it  was,  the  calamity  proved  a 
heavy  trial  to  Elijah,  and  with  holy  freedom  he 
laid  it  before  God,  and  said,"  O  Jehovah,  my  God, 
hast  thou  also  brought  evil  upon  the  widow  with 
whom  I  sojourn,  by  slaying  her  son?  I  pray  thee, 
let  this  child's  soul  come  into  him  again."  The 
child  began  to  breathe,  and  presently  was  delivered 
alive  to  his  mother.  She  said,  "Now,  by  this  I 
know  that  thou  art  a  man  of  God,  and  the  word  of 
Jehovah  in  thy  mouth  is  truth." 

It  was  in  the  third  year  of  Elijah's  sojourn  with 
the  widow,  that  the  Lord  came  to  him,  announcing 
the  near  prospect  of  rain,  and  bid  him  go  and  show 
himself  to  Ahab  (1  K.  xviii.  1).  Returning  to 
King  Ahab,  he  procured  the  great  assembly  at 
Mount  Carmel,  where  God  "answered  by  fire," 
and  the  prophets  of  Baal  were  destroyed.  (See 
Carmel.)  Now  the  long  terrible  drought  was 
broken,  and  a  plentiful  ram  descended  at  the  pro- 
phet's prayer.  He  fled  from  the  fury  of  Jezebel, 
first  to  Beersheba  where  he  left  his  servant  (Jo- 
nah), and  went  on  alone  into  the  wilderness  (of 
Sinai.— Dr.  Crosby),  where  he  wished  for  death. 
"It  is  enough,  Lord,  let  me  die,  fori  am  not  better 
than  my  fathers."  (The  oratorio  of  Elijah,  by 
Mendelssohn,  is  a  beautiful  and  effective  com- 
mentary on  this  part  of  the  prophet's  life.) 
Here  the  prophet  saw  the  Lord  pass  by,  in  answer 
to  hi  j  complaint.  The  wind  rent  the  mountains, 
and  brake  in  pieces  the  rocks  of  Sinai;  then  an 
earthquake;  and  after  that  a  fire,  burning  in  the 
constant  blaze  of  lightning.    These  were  symbols 


oi  the  angry  frame  of  mind  that  the  prophet  had. 
Then,  after  a  profound  stillness,  there  came  a 
small  voice,  soft  and  gentle.  This  was  Jehovah's 
method  of  winning  men— not  by  exhibitions  of  ter- 
rible power.  The  persecutions  of  Ahab  and  Jeze- 
bt>l,  the  slaughter  of  Baal's  priests,  had  nothing 
of  (xod  in  them ;  but  he  was  to  be  found  as  truly 
worshiped  by  the  few  who  had  not  bowed  the  knee 
to  Baal.  These  connnands  were  given  him:— To 
return  to  the  wilderness  of  Damascus,  and  at  a 
proper  time  annoint  Hazael,  king  of  Syria,  Jehu, 
king  of  Israel,  and  Elisha  as  his  successor.  Elisha 
was  appointed  by  having  Elijah's  cloak  (of  coarse 
camel  hair,  or  wool)  cast  on  him,  when,  from  that 
time  "He  poured  water  on  the  hands  of  Elijah," 
that  is,  served  him  daily.  Six  years  after  he  de- 
nounces Ahab  and  Jezebel  for  their  crime  against 
Naboth,  in  taking  his  vinevard.  He  foretells  the 
death  of  Ahaziah,  the  king.  The  warning  letter 
to  Jehoram  is  by  a  later  hand,  of  the  same  school. 
Two  bands  of  guards  having  been  sent  by  Ahab 
to  arrest  him,  he  calls  down  fire  from  heaven  on 
their  heads.  Soon  after  that  he  crossed  the  Jor- 
dan with  Elisha  "on  dry  ground,"  and  wns  sepa- 
rated from  liim  by  fire  and  carried  away  by  a  wind 
"into  heaven."  'Elisha  asked  for  the  first  horn's 
double  portion,  as  the  eldest  follower  of  Elijah. 
His  whole  life  as  a  prophet  was  one  of  trial  and 
conflict.  The  Jews,  in  the  time  of  Jesus,  expected 
JElijah  to  reappear,  and  Jesus  alludes  to  the  behcf 
(Matt.  xi.  14),  explaining  the  fulfilment  as  in 
John  the  Baptist.  Elijah  (Elias  in  (ireek)  became 
a  name  for  any  or  all  true  prophets,  as  David  for 
the  king,  Abraham  or  Israel  for  the  Hebrews. 

ELIM  (trffs).  Had  twelve  fountains  (not  w^lls), 
and  a  palm  grove,  being  a  kind  of  desert  paradise

fine  fountains,  supplying  a  perennial  stream,  and 
has  more  trees,  shrubs,  and  bushes  than  any  other 
spot  in  the  desert.  Here  the  plain  ends  and  the 
mountain  begins. 

ELIM'ELECH  {Ood  is  Kiiuj).  The  Betblehemite

he  divided  the  Jordan,  and  was  carried  awajr  by  a 
whirlwind  and  chariot  of  fire.  Elijah's  mission 
was  to  show  that  El  was  the  God  of  Israel — Elisha

his  people.  Beneficent  working  and  kindly  bless-

EMBKOIDERED   ROBE. 


bodies  (Gen.  1.  2,  26) .  The  soft  parts  of  the  inte- 
rior were  removed,  and  spices,  gums,  etc.,  filled  m 
their  stead,  and  the  whole  was  then  steeped  for  70 
days  in  natron  (petroleum  or  asphaltum),  after 
which  the  body  was  carefully  wrapped  in  strips  of 
hnen,  dipped  in  gum,  and  delivered  to  the  friends, 
who  put  it  in  the  coffin,  which  was  of  wood  carved 
and  painted,  or  of  stone,  sculptured.  The  whole 
art  was  carefully  guarded  by  strict  laws.  The 
body  could  only  be  cut  by  an  authorized  person,  with 
a  stone  knife  (see  Knife).  Embalming  was  not 
practiced  by  the  Hebrews.  Asa  was  laid  in  a  bed 
of  spices  (2  Chr.  xvi.  14),  and  Jesus  had  a  hundred 
pound  weight  of  spices  placed  in  the  tomb  (John 
xix.  39,  40). 

The  Egyptians  prac- 
ticed the  art  because  of 
their  belief  in  the  doctrine 
of  transmigration  of 
souls.  (See  Pettigrew's 
Hist,  of  Eg.  Mummies). 

EMBROIDERY  (Heb. 
koken),  (Ex.  xxxv.  35). 
Needlework.  Two  kinds 
of  exti-a  fine  cloth  was 
made,  one  by  the  roken  of 
various  colors  and  figures, 
called  r«A:mrtA,  and  the  other 
by  the  chosheb  (cunning 
workmen),  into  which  gold 
or  other  metallic  threads 
are  woven,  besides  the 
usual  colors,  both  of  which 
were  made  in  the  loom. 
The  needle  was  used  where 
the  figure  was  wanted  on 
one  side  only  of  the  cloth.  Wilkinson  says  that 
"Many  of  the  Eg)i)tian  stuffs  presented  various 
patterns,  worked  In  colors  by  the  loom,  indepen- 
dent of  those  produced  by  the  dyeing  or  the  print- 
ing process,  and  so  richly  composed  that  they  vied 
with  the  cloths  embroidered  by  the  needle."  Tlie 
art  was  known  in  Assyria  al.so,  as  the  sculptures 
show.  Ezekiel  mentions  embroidered  work  as  the 
production  of  Egypt  and  Assyria,  imported  by  way 
of  Tyre  (Ez.  xxvii.  7,  23,  24).    See  Dress.

Sea  (Gen.  xiv.  5;  Dent.  ii.  10). 

EMMAN'TIEL.    Immanuel  (Matt.  i.  23). 

EMMA'TJS.  Nov?  called  Kuriet  El  Enab,  7%  nis. 
west  of  Jerusa.lem.  Josephus  mentions  it  (Wars 
vii.  6,  9).  Jeronie  mistook  NicopoHs,  the  present 
AmwojS,  for  this  place,  a  proof  of  how  early  some 
scripture  localities  of  the  N.  T.  times  were  lost. —

robe  in  a  cave  at  E.  (l  Sam.  xxiv.  1-4).  The  early 
hermits  of  Palestine,  the  Essenes,  had  their  chief

now  known  east  of  the  Mt.  of  Olives  is  tlie  Well 
of  the  Apostles,  so  called  because  it  is  supposed 
that  Christ  and  his  apostles  rested  there  often, 
about  a  mile  east  of  Bethany.  The  sun  shines  on 
the  spring  all  day  long.

as  a  boat,  an  animal,  a  bird,  or  the  king's  name. 
The  Hebrew  banners  are  described  by  the  Rabbis 
as  follows :  Judah,  a  lion ;  Keuben,  a  man ; 
Ephraim,  an  ox;  Dan,  an  eagle.  It  is  more  pro- 
bable that  each  tribe  and  each  company  iu  a  tribe 
had  a  particular  ensign  for  its  own  use — as  a  figure 
or  inscription.  The  Romans  made  images  on  tlieir 
standards  of  ceiiain  gods  and  of  deified  men, 
which  they  worshiped.  The  Assyrian  standards 
were  very  similar  to  those  represented  here  as 
Egyptian  and  Roman.

EPH'ESUS.  About  the  middle  of  the  W.  of  Asia 
Minor,  opposite  the  island  of  Samos.  The  capital 
of  Asia,  wliich  province  under  the  Romans  in- 
cluded only  the  W.  part  of  the  peninsula.  Built 
partly  on  hills  and  partly  on  the  plain.  The  cli- 
mate was  excellent.  The  country  around  the  city 
was  very  fertile,  and  its  position  most  convenient 
for  traffic  with  other  regions  of  tlie  Levant.  In  the 
time  of  Augustus  it  was  the  great  metropolis  of 
this  section  of  Asia  Minor.  Paul's  journeys  indi- 
cate the  facilities  for  travel  by  sea  and  land. 

The  harbor  was  elaborately  constructed,  and  at 
its  head  stood  the  famous  temple  of  Diana.  The 
first  temple  was  burnt  ou  the  night  Alexander  the 
Great  was  bom;  the  second,  which  stood  in  Paul's 
time,  was  built  by  the  contributions  of  all  Asia: 
425  feet  long  by  220  wide,  with  127  marble  columns, 
each  60  feet  hiorh.  Built  in  the  Ionic  order,  per- 
fected here  first.  The  magnificence  of  this  great 
temple  was  a  proverb  throughout  the  world. 
Here  the  people  held  an  "uproar"  against  Paul 
for  two  hours  (Acts  xix.  23.  See  Paul).  Public 
games  were  held  in  the  month  of  May,  which  was

sacred  to  Diana,  and  Paul  was  probably  tliere  at 
that  time  (1  Cor.  xvi.  s).  Plutarch  mentions  the 
charms  and  amulets  which  were  made  and  sold 
here,  and  accounts  of  faith  in  their  value  reach 
as  far  down  as  the  6th  century.  The  coins  of  E. 
have  many  allusions  to  the  Diana  worship.  Josephus

longing  to  the  first-born,  and  which  he  had 
sold  to  Jacob,  but  Jacob  again  was  too  crafty 
for  his  brother,  and  succeeded  in  deceiving 
Isaac,  and  received  the  blessing.  From  this 
time  he  was  called  Edom  {red),  which  was  given 
to  the  country  that  he  afterwards  lived  in.  At  the 
age  of  40  he  married,  against  the  will  of  his  pa- 
rents, two  Canaanite  women.  Jacob  was  sent  to 
Padan-aram,  out  of  the  way  of  Esau,  who  took 
another  wife,  Mahalath,  his  cousin,  daughter  of 
Ishniael  (xxviii.  8,  9).  He  then  went  to  Mt.  Seir, 
wliere  he  was  living  when  Jacob  returned  from 
Padan-aram,  and  had  become  rich  and  powerful. 
The  brothers  met  on  the  east  of  Jordan,  when  Ja- 
cob again  acted  in  a  double-faced  way,  and  parted 
to  meet  again  only  at  the  side  of  their  dead  father, 
twenty  years  after,  at  Machpelah.  From  this  time 
he  lived  in  Mt.  Seir,  but  nothing  is  recorded  of  his 
later  history.    See  Edom,  Edomites.

Stoics  with  a  spiritual  knowledge  of  the  Di- 
vine Law,  and  arose  about  200  B.  C.  Tiieii' 
chief  city  was  Engedi  (Pliny).  The  name  is 
supposed  to  mean  silent,  mysterious  or  jnom 
(Dr.  Ginsburg).  The  origin  of  the  party  was 
rather  in  a  certain  tendency  of  religious 
thought  among  all  classes  towards  an  ideal 
purity.  Special  doctrines  had  for  their  object 
a  life  of  absolute  purity  and  divine  conununion. 

Next  to  God,  Moses  was  honored ;  the  Sabbath 
was  carefully  kept;  food  was  eaten  only  when  pre-

the  Sabbath;  and  they  practiced  self-denial,  tem- 
perance, and  agricultiu-e.  Slavery,  war,  and  com- 
merce were  forbidden.  They  were  very  regular  in 
their  devotions;  before  sunrise  they  began  their 
prayer  and  praise;  said  grace  before  and  after 
meals;  ate  from  only  one  kind  of  food  at  a  meal; 
disallowed  oaths,  holding  truth  to  be  sacred;  held 
all  things  in  common.  Their  system  was  a  com- 
pound of  mystical  and  ceremonial  elements.  The 
applicant  for  membership  was  obliged  to  live  a  year 
outside  of  tlie  order,  but  keeping  its  rules  (?), 
having  received  as  badges  an  ax,  a  white  apron, 
and  a  white  dress.  One  year  more  he  would  share 
in  the  ablutions  but  not  in  the  meals.  After  two 
more  years  he  was  admitted  to  full  membership, 
solemnly  binding  himself  to  piety  to  God,  justice  to 
men,  to  hate  the  wicked,  assist  the  righteous,  injure

ESDEAE'LON.  The  Greek  name  of  Jezreel  (Ju- 
dith iii.  9),  the  Great  Plain  of  Josephus,  the  valley

fought  on  its  surface.  "Warriors  from  every  na- 
ti(m  have  pitched  their  tent  in  the  plain  of  Esdrae- 
lon."  The  names  Deborah,  Barak,  Gideon,  Josiah, 
Holofernes,  Vespasian,  the  Cmsaders,  Saracens, 
Turks,  and  French,  give  a  hint  of  the  events  which 
have  made  the  valley  memorable.

no  one,  spoak  the  ti'uth,  avoid  robbeiy  and  theft, 
and  koop  the  rules  and  secrets  of  the  society. 
Some  of  tlu'ir  rules  were:  1.  To  bathe,  if  touched 
by  a  stranger,  or  a  lo\wr  grade  of  llieir  own  order, 
aiid  before  and  after  nu;als,  and  other  luitural  acts; 
not  to  spit  in  an  assembly,  and  if  so  not  on  the 
right  side;  the  social  meal  was  a  sacrament.  1. 
Baptisms  produced  bodily  purity,  which  led  to  2. 
celibacy,  and  3,  spiritual  purity,  and  4,  to  a  meek 
and  lowly  spirit,  banishing  all  anger  and  malice, 
thus  reaehing  5,  holiness,  arriving  at  (>,  a  state 
wiierein  he  is  a  Holy  Teuiple  for  the  Holy  Spirit, 
and  could  prophesy,  and  advancing  to  7,  could  per- 
form miraculous  cures,  raising  the  dead,  attaining 
finally  to  the  lofty  state  of  Elias,  tlie  forerunner  of 
the  Messiah,  and  no  longer  subject  to  death. 

Jesus  alludes  to  the  Essenes  in  Matt.  v.  34, 
"swear  not  at  all,"  and  in  xix.  12,  "who  abstain 
from  marriage  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven's  sake," 
and  Paul  in  1  Cor.  vii.,  which  is  hardly  intelligible 
witiiout  a  knowledge  of  the  tenets  of  the  Essenes, 
and  by  James  in  v.  12,  and  the  first  cluu'ch  held  all 
things  in  conunon  as  they  did  (Acts  iv.  32-34). 
Their  number  was  never  larger  than  4000.  See 
Josei>hus  and  Eusebius.  They  disappeared  after 
the  destruction  of  Jerusalem,  and  are  not  heard

more  or  less  strictly  their  rules  and  practices.

ascrilied  to  queen  Semiramis,  but  is  probably  as  old 
as  Eastern  despotism  itself,  which  delights  in  ser- 
vants who  excite  no  jealousy.  It  is  supposed  that 
the  proi)h(>t  Daniel  and  his  companions  were  so 
treated,  because  it  was  so  prephesied  (2  K.  xx.  17).

commanded  the  same  (1  Tim.  1.  20;  1  Cor.  v.  11 
Tit.  iii.  10),  and  frequently  used  the  power.  Res- 
toration was  possible,  and  is  urged 
in  2  Cor.  ii.  6.  The  censure  of  the 
church  was  not  to  include  enmity, 
curses,  and  persecution,  as  among 
some  sects,  but  rather  to  look  upon 
the  excluded  "as  a  heathen  and  a 
publican,"  that  maybe  brought  in 
af^ain.  It  is  a  spiritual  penalty,  not 
physical,  separating  from  the  com- 
munion of  the  church,  aiming  to 
benelit  the  person  and  the  chiu-cli, 
by  excluding  lieresy,  immorality, 
and  only  put  in  force  by  the  au- 
thority of  the  church  at  large  (by  a 
vote?)  and  the  sanction  of  the  high- 
est officer,  whose  sentence  was  de- 
clared in  the  congregation  to  which 
the  offender  belongecl;  and  that  pen- 
itence is  a  condition  of  restoration, 
which  is  to  be  as  public  as  the  ex- 
clusion. _ 

EXECUTIONER  (Heb.  tabbach, 
slaughter).  The  duties  w'ere  both 
those  of  an  executioner  and  of  the 
leader  of  the  body-guard  of  the 
king,  as  in  Egnit  (Gen.  xxxvii.  3G), 
whose  official  residence  was  the 
prison.  It  was  a  post  of  high  dig- 
nity. The  Septuagint  says  Potiphar 
was  chit'f-cook. 

EXILE.   Captivity. 

EX'ODUS  {(joing  out).  For  the 
book,  see  History  of  the  Books, 

The  date  of  the  Exodus  of  the 
Hebrews  from  Egypt,  led  by  Moses, 
is  fixed  by  different  writers :  as 
Poole,  B.  C.  1652,  Hales,  1648,  Usher, 
1491,  Bnnsen,  1320.  The  patriarch- 
al institution  ended  and  the  era  of 
the  Law  began  at  the  Exodus — the 
family  had  become  a  nation.  The  departure  was 
begun  at  Raamses  (Rameses)  in  the  early  morning 
of  the  15th  of  Xisan,  which  was  from  that  time 
called  the  first  month.  Three  stages  brought  them 
to  the  Red  Sea,  where  they  were  overtaken  by 
Pharaoh  and  delivered  by  Moses,  as  celebrated  in 
the  songs  of  Moses  and  Miriam  (Ex.  xv.). 

The  great  difficulty  in  tracing  the  route  of  the 
Israelites  from  Egypt  to  Canaan  has  called  out  a 
large  number  of  travelers  in  our  day,  who  have 
minutely  examined  the  district  (or  a  part  of  it, 
omitting  the  region  of  the  38  years  wandering, 
because  there  arc  no  records  from  which  to  form  a 
base  of  exploration),  and  from  their  researches  it 
is  "possible  by  the  internal  evidence  of  the  coun- 
try itself  to  lay  down  not  indeed  the  actu£(l  route 
of  the  LsTaelites  in  every  stage,  but  in  almost  all 
cases,  and  in  some  cases  the  very  spots  them- 
selves." 

The  question  of  the  passage  of  the  Red  Sea  is 
referred  to  Mikaclks. 

Etham  was  a  distriet  on  both  sides  of  the  N. 
end  of  the  Red  Sea.  The  place  of  crossing  might 
have  been  anywhere  between  Suez  and  Jebel  Ata- 


kah,  which  Is  a  steep,  high  promontory  standing 
out  into  very  deep  water. 

Shuu  (wall)  is  a  name  for  the  whole  desert  from 
Suez  to  Beersheba,  N.  of  the  plain  Er  Ramleh, 
also  called  Pakan.  The  first  water  found  was  at 
Makah  {bitter),  and  the  rest  at  Elim  (stags,) 
where  there  were  twelve  fountains,  and  a  kind  of 
desert  paradise,  among  a  grove  of  palm  trees. 
Wady  Ohurundel  has  several  fine  fountains,  a 
perennial  stream,  and  more  trees,  shrubs  and 
bushes  than  any  other  place  in  the  desert.  Here 
the  mountain  district  begins.  The  next  camp  was 
by  the  Red  Sea,  where,  m  a  wild  and  lonely  plain, 
there  is  a  sublime  view  of  Sinai's  granite  peaks 
on  one  side,  and  the  blue  sea  on  the  other.

this  valley  on  the  south,  widening  into  the  broad- 
est plain  in  the  whole  region.  Here  they  first  mur- 
mured, and  the  quails  were  sent  in  answer  to  their 
cry,  and  the  first  fall  of  manna.  Dophka  and 
and  Alush  were  probably  in  the  same  plain.  Re- 
PHiDiM  {supports)  is  located  in  Wady  esh  Sheikh, 
the  most  sfDacious  valley  in  this  region,  and  the 
most  fertile.  Here  the  people  found  no  water  to 
drink,  and  Moses  brought  water  out  of  a  rock  (Ex. 
xvii.  5,  6).  The  Amalekites  attacked  the  people, 
and  were  routed.  Jethro,  Moses'  father-in-law, 
visited  him  here  and  counseled  him.  They  next 
pitched  in  the  plain  of  Rahah  {rest,  Ex.  xix.)  in 
front  of  SiNAi.  Jebel  Musa  (Mount  Moses),  the 
Sinai  of  recent  tradition,  is  in  the  midst  of  a  group 
of  mountains,  and  is  7,000  feet  high.  Katerin  is 
8,700,  and  Om  Shomer  is  9,300  feet  high.  On  the 
summit  of  Jebel  Musa  is  a  platform  nearly  100 
feet  across,  partly  covered  with  ruins,  a  chapel  at 
the  cast  end,  and  a  small  mosque.  Ras  es  Sttfsafeh 
(peak  of  the  willow)  is  the  Sinai  of  many  scholars, 
because  from  it  the  plain  can  be  seen,  and  every 
other  requirement  of  the  text  answered,  ana

surrounding  district.  They  stayed  almost  a  year 
at  Sinai.  While  Moses  was  on  the  mount,  receiv- 
ing the  two  tables,  Aaron  (his  brother)  made  a 
calf  of  gold,  probably  in  imitation  of  the  Egypt- 
ians. Aaron's  sons  offered  strange  fire  (Lev.  x.), 
and  were  destroyed,  and  the  second  passover  was 
held. 

On  leaving  Sinai  a  certain  order  of  march  and  of 
camping  was  adopted  (Num.  x.),  and  Hobab  was 
engaged  as  a  guide,  to  be  unto  them  "instead  of 
eyes"  (ver.  31),  as  is  the  custom  now  in  crossing 
the  desert.  From  Sinai  to  Kadesh  the  route  can- 
not be  clearly  laid  down.  After  three  days  they 
pitched  in  Paran,  at  a  place  afterwards  called  Ta- 
BERAH  {burning,  Num.  xi.  3).  Quails  were  sent 
here  (ver.  31),  the  people  suffered  from  a  plague 
after  eating  them,  and  the  place  was  named  a 
second  time  Kibroth-hattaavah  {graves  of  lust, 
ver.  33).  The  next  station,  Hazeroth,  has  been 
identified  with  Ain  Hudherah,  a  Uttle  fountain  in  a 
wild,  dreary  waste,  among  naked  hiUs,  40  miles 
from  Sinai.  The  place  was  noted  for  the  foolish 
rebellion  of  Miriam  and  Aaron  (xii.).  The  foun- 
tain of  El  Ain,  north  of  Hudherah,  is  the  most  im- 
portant watering-place  in  the  district..  The  next 
station  that  can  be  located  is  Ezion-geber,  at  the 
head  of  the  Gulf  of  Akabah.  Between  this  station 
and  Kadesh,  in  the  Arabah,  there  were  many 
stations,  and,  as  appears  from  the  two  accounts 
in  Num.  xxxiii.  and  in  Deut.  ii.  8,  x.  6,  they  wan- 
dered up  and  down  the  valley  several  times. 

Kadesh  {holy),  next  to  Sinai,  was  the  most  im- 
portant of  all  the  resting-places  in  the  wilderness. 
From  here  the  twelve  spies  were  sent  into  the  pro- 
mised land,  and  from  Kadesh  the  rebellious  peo- 
ple were  turned  back  into  the  wilderness  by  the 
way  of  the  Eed  Sea  (Deut.  i.  40)  to  wander  for 
38  years.  And  when  they  attempted  to  go  up  (by 
the  pass  Es  Sufah)  against  the  command  of  the 
Lord,  they  were  defeated  at  Hormah  with  dis- 
grace and  slaughter  (Num.  xiv.  40). 

Of  the  "great  and  terrible  wilderness"  of  the 
wandering  not  one  station  is  recorded,  nor  even 
a  hint  of  its  locality,  and  the  only  events  no- 
ticed are  (besides  the  ceremonial  law)  the  execu- 
tion of  the  man  who  gathered  sticks  on  the  Sab- 
bath day  (Num.  xv.),  the  rebellion  of  Korah 
(xvi.),  and  (either  during  that  time  or  soon  after) 
the  writing  of  the  ninetieth  Psalm  by  Moses. 
The  great  desert  from  Akabah  to  Gaza,  is  now 
called  Et  Tyh  (the  wandering),  and  it  may  be  the 
very  region;  but  having  no  names  to  locate  or  com- 
pare, there  is  nothing  left  us  but  conjecture. 


HOTTSE  IN  DAMASCTS. 

They  visited  Kadesh  a  second  time,  where  Mi- 
riam, the  sister  of  Moses,  died  and  was  buried 
(Num.  XX.  1).  Moses  brought  water  out  of  the 
rock,  and  the  people  and  their  beasts  drank. 
Their  flocks  had  survived  through  38  years.  Then 
they  sent  messengers  to  the  king  of  Edom,  asking 
permission  to  pass  through  his  country,  and  mak- 
ing the  fairest  proposals,  but  they  were  denied 
their  request  (xx.  14), 


They  then  left  Kadesh  and  moved  to  Mt.  Hor, 
where  their  first  high-priest,  Aaron,  died  and  was 
buried,  and  Eleazar  his  son  was  invested  with  the 
"  holy  garments"  and  the  office  of  his  father.  See 
Aaron. 

The  next  place  that  Is  identified  is  the  pass 
through  the  east  wall  of  the  Arabah,  up  into  the 
Arabian  desert — Wady  Ithm — by  the  way  of  the 
Eed  Sea  (to  compass  the  land  of  Edom,  xxi.  4). 
Here  the  fiery  serpents  were  sent,  killing  many; 
and  the  brazen  serpent  was  set  up,  which  became 
a  type  of  the  greater  salvation.  Ije  Abarim  was 
reached,  and  then  the  willow  brook  (Zered),  and 
and  soon  also  the  Arnon,  and  they  were  out 
of  the  desert.  Sihon,  king  of  the  Amorites,  op- 
posed their  advance,  and  Israel  smote  him,  and  pos- 
sessed his  land  from  the  Arnon  to  the  Jabbok. 
They  next  conquered  Og,  the  king  of  Bashan. 
His  "  giant  cities "  are  still  standing,  deserted  but 
not  ruined,  all  over  the  vast  plain  of  the  Hauran. 
The  king  of  Moab  sent  the  prophet  Baalam  to 
curse  Israel  as  they  were  encamped  in  the  plains 
of  Moab,  and  he  blessed  them,  but  laid  a  snare 
which  caught  them,  and  caused  the  loss  of  thou- 
sands of  lives  (xxxi.  IG). 


INTERIOR  OP  HOTTSE. 


Moses  numbered  the  pleople  in  the  plain  of 
Moab,  and  found  601,730  men  above  the  age  of 
20  (being  only  1820  less  than  the  number  at  Sinai, 
39  years  before),  and  of  all  these  only  three  were 
among  those  who  came  out  of  Egj^pt,  all  the  rest 
having  fallen  in  the  desert  (Num.  xiv.  29) ,  leaving 
only  Moses,  Caleb  and  Joshua.  After  looking  at  the 
land  from  the  hights  of  Nebo,  Moses  died,  and  was 
buried  (by  the  Lord),  "but  no  man  knoweth  of 
his  sepulchre"  (Deut.  xxxiv.  6).  With  his  death 
the  wanderings  ended. 

EX'OECISM.  The  formal  ejection  of  evil  spu-its 
from  persons  or  places.  Those  who  do  this  are 
called  Exorcists.  This  pretense  is  usually  accom- 
panied with  incantations  and  magical  arts  of  various 
kinds,  and  was  common  to  all  nations  of  antiquity 
(Jos.  Ant.  viii.  2,  6,  Wars,  vii.  6,  3).  Jesus  implied 
tliat  such  a  power  did  exist,  and  miglit  be  used 
after  peculiar  preparation  (Matt.  xii.  27;  Luke  ix. 
49).  There  was  an  order  of  Exorcists  in  the  Chris- 
tian church  in  the  3d  century,  which  led  to  a  great 
increase  of  superstition,  fraud,  and  imposture. 
Some  introduced  forms  of  exorcism  into  baptism, 
saying,  "  as  the  soul  before  baptism  is  in  bondage 
to  the  devil,  so  at  baptism  it  should  be  formally 
released  from  the  evil  spirit."  The  priest  was 
instructed  to  breathe  tliree  times  on  the  face  of  the 
subject,  and  say,  Depart  from  him,  foul  spirit — 
give  place  to  the  Holy  Spirit,  the  Paraclete.  Then 
another  breathing  on  the  face,  with  the  words, 
Keceive  the  Holy  Spirit.  The  order  still  is  in  the 
Koman  ritual.  It  was  originally  practiced  by  the 
Lutherans,  but  it  is  now  disused.  John  wrote  his 
Gospel  in  Asia,  where  medical  science  was  ad- 
vanced, and  he  seems  to  have  known  that  the  dis- 
eases attributed  to  demons  were  merely  natural

EXPIA'TION.    Sacrifice.    Day  op  Atonement. 

EYE  (Heb.  ayin).  Used  as  a  symbol  of  many 
objects  and  ideas.  Among  tlie  Hebrews  a  few  uses 
were:  1.  K  fouivtain,  or  »pring  (ain).  2.  Color 
(Num.  xi.  7;  Prov.  xxiii.  31).  3.  Face;  as  in  eye 
to  eye  (face  to  face),  (Num.  xiv.  14).  4.  Look,  as 
in  Cant.  iv.  9.  5.  "In  the  eyes,"  means  in  his 
presence,  or  in  his  judgment  (Gen.  xix.  8,  xxix.  20; 
2  Sam.  x.  3).  6.  "  To  set  eyes  on  one,"  is  to  look 
with  favor  (Job  xxiv.  23),  and  also  to  express 
anger  (Amosix.  8).  7.  Evil  eye  (Matt.  xx.  15); 
wanton  eyes,  etc.  In  Zech.  iv.  10,  God's  angels 
are  "  his  eyes,"  and  in  Persia  the  ministers  of  state 
are  "the  king's  eyes. "  In  the  East  servants  watch 
the  hands  of  their  master,  receiving  orders  and 
directions  by  motion  of  the 
hand.  Painting  the  Eyes  is 
an  ancient  practice  among  Ori- 
entals, and  referred  to  in  2  K. 
ix.  30,  where  Jezebel  is  spoken 
of  as  "painting  her  eyes,"  not  "face,"  in  Jer.  iv. 
30,  where  "rending  the  face,"  means  "painting 
the  eyes,"  and  by  Ezekiel  in  xxiii.  40.  Lane  says, 
of  painting  eyes:  "  Their  charming  effect  is  much 
hightened  by  the  concealment  of  the  other 
features  (however  pleasing  they  may  be) 
and  is  rendered  still  more  striking  by  a 
practice,  universal  among  the  females  of 
the  higher  and  middle  classes,  and  very 
common  among  those  of  the  lower  orders, 
which  is,  blackening  the  edge  of  the  eye- 
lids, both  above  and  helow  the  eyes,  with  a 
black  powder  called  kohl.  The  paint  is 
made  by  burning  a  resin  and  catching  the 
smoke  on  glass  or  any  hard  substance.  Al-  '  ^i 
mond  shells  also  make  good  black  smoke. 
The  black  is  moistened  with  rose-water. 
The  ancient  sculptures  show  the  antiquity 
of  the  practice.

phets. Son  of  Buzi,  a  priest,  and  carefully 
educated.  We  know  that  he  was  in  cap- 
tivity because  his  prophesy  is  dated  on 
the  banks  of  the  river  Chebar,  in  the  5th 
year  of  Jehoiachin's  captivity.  Josephus 
gives  other  particulars.  His  age  is  not 
knowTi.  It  is  supposed,  from  several  con- 
curring allusions  in  his  writings,  that  he 
was  twenty-five  when  carried  to  Assyria  a 
captive,  and  thiity  at  the  time  he  wrcfte  liis 
first  prophesy.  lie  was  energetic,  earnest, 
spiritually  minded.  He  prophesied  twenty 
years,  B.  C.  595-575,  ending  with  the  14th 
year  after  the  last  deportation  from  Ju- 
dsea.  The  first  8  years  were  cotemporary 
with  Jeremiah.  See  History  of  the

(Ezra  vii.  1).  His  history  is  given  partly  in  Ezra 
vii.  to  X.  and  in  Nehemiah  viii.,  xii.  26,  36.  His 
narrative  includes  80  years,  during  which  period, 
in  Persia  there  were  Cyrus,  Cambyses,  Smerdis, 
Darius  Ilystaspis,  Xerxes  and  Artaxerxes  Longi- 
manus.  The  last  named  gave  Ezra  men,  money 
and  letters  of  power,  and  permission  to  return  and 
rebuild  the  house  at  Jerusalem. 

He  collected  and  revised  the  books  of  the  O.  T. 
Tradition  says  he  died  at  Babylon  (or  Zamzumu 
on  the  Tigris),  aged  120..  A  tomb  is  shown  as  his,

known  to  be  inventions,  which  are  intended  to 
teach  general  truth.  The  Mythus  is  an  uncon- 
scious evolution  of  traditional  thought  or  fancy. 
The  parable  assumes  that  what  is  related  might 
have  been  true,  and  deals  with  matters  of  human 
life,  using  the  acts  of  men  to  figure  those  of  a 
liigher  order  of  being.  The  fable  draws  its  mate- 
rials from  the  brute  creation  and  inanimate  nature, 
attributing  the  qualities  of  humanity  to  brutes, 
trees,  &c. 

The  fable  of  Jotham  about  the  trees  of  Shechem 
is  the  oldest  extant  (B.  C.  1209),  and  as  beautiful 
as  any  made  since  (Judg.  ix.  8-15).  The  fable  in 
Ezekiel  xvii.  1-10,  brings  before  us  the  lower  forms 
of  creation  as  representatives  of  human  characters 
and  destinies.  The  great  Lokman,  the  Arabian 
writer  of  fables,  lived  about  the  ttme  of  David 
(B.  C.  1025),  Hesiod'and  ^sop  of  the  Greeks  are 
still  later  (B.  C.  550).  The  fable  exhibits  rela- 
tions between  man  and  man,  the  parable  those  be- 
tween man  and  God.    The  fables  and  inventions 


alluded  to  in  1  Tun.  iv.  7;  Titus,  i.  14;  2  Pet.  i.  16, 
were  false  and  weak,  probably,  and  unfit  for  in- 
struction. 

FACE.  The  most  peculiarly  indicative  part  of  the 
human  figure.  The  face  is  the  presence;  to  stand 
before  the  face  is  to  stand  in  the  presence.  The 
face  is  also  the  favor— as  the  prince's 
face,  or  favor.  To  turn  away  the  face  is 
to  deny  a  favor.  And  the  face  of  the 
Lord  means  His  presence.  "No  one 
can  see  the  face  of  God  and  live,"  but 
Jacob  did  see  it,  as  he  says  so,  and  lived 
(Gen.  xxxii.  30.)  Jacob  first  mentions 
God's  face,  at  Peniel.  God's  grace  or 
favor  is  indicated  in  such  passages  as 
"  seeking  face,"  "  hft  on  us  the  light  of 
thy  face,"  "pour  out  thine  heart  like 
water  before  the  face  of  the  Lord" 
(Lam  ii.  19). 

FAIRHA'VENS.  Harbor  on  the  south 
side  of  Crete,  east  of  Cape  Matala,  and 
near  Lasea  (Acts  xxvii.  8) .  Visited  by 
Paul  on  his  voyage  to  Kome,  A.  d.  60. 
(Gr.  Kaloi  Limenes) . 

FAIRS  (Heb.  izebonim).  Only  in 
Ezekiel  xxvii.,  where  it  is  found  seven 
times,  once  translated  wares  in  verse  33. 
The  word  means  exchange,  and  the  sense 
of  the  cliapter  is  much  improved  by  this 
rendering. 

FAITH  (Heb.  emttn,  /aiiA  •  emunah, 
faithful;  Greek  elpis ;  faith  or  ho2')e ; 
pistis,  one  belief).  Faith  is  the  assent 
of  the  mind  to  the  truth  of  God's  re- 
vealed will.  There  are  two  kinds:  1. 
Historical,  which  assents  to  the  state- 
ments about  the  life  and  works  of  Jesus 
and  the  apostles,  as  historical  truths. 
2.  Evangelical,  or  saving  faith,  is  an  as- 
sent to  the  truth  of  revelation,  and  an 
entire  trust  and  confidence  in  God's 
character,  and  Christ's  teachings,  with 
an  unreserved  surrender  of  the  will.  Jesus  Christ 
is  then  received  into  the  heart  as  the  Saviour, 
Prophet,  Priest,  and  King,  to  be  loved  and  obeyed. 
This  is  instrumentally  a  means  of  salvation,  an 
essential  grace,  and  a  mainspring  of  Christian  life. 
FALLOW-DEER  (Heb.  yachmur).  Permitted  as 
food  by  the  law,  and  supplied  to  Solomon's  table 
(Deut.  xiv.  5;  1  K.  iv.  23).  Two  kinds  of  deer 
were  known  to  the  Hebrews  in  Palestine.  Jacob 
refers  to  one  in  his  blessing  on  Naphtah.  Its 
beauty,  speed  and  agility  are  frequently  used  by 
the  poets  and  prophets.  The  opening  of  the  xlu. 
psalm  is  as  beautiful  as  familiar: 

"As  the  hart  pants  after  the  water-brooks. 
So  does  my  soul  pant  for  thee,  O  God." 

This  was  written  by  David  when  Saul  was  hunt- 
ing him  from  one  place  to  another  like  a  deer  or 
"  a  partridge. "  Figures  of  deer  are  sculptured  on 
the  ancient  monuments  in  Egypt.  The  bubale  is 
classed  among  cattle  in  the  East,  and  is  found  from 
Gibraltar  to  the  Persian  Gulf,  living  in  smaU  herds. 
The  fallow-deer  is  quite  rare,  a  few  living  around 
Mt.  Tabor,  and  Lebanon,  and  is  not  found  in  Ara- 
bia, but  Persia  and  Armenia  are  its  peculiar  home. 

FAL'LOW-GROUND.  Land  that  has  been  left  to 
rest  untilled  a  year  or  more.  Figuratively,  back- 
sliding, unfruitful  in  spiritual  things  (Hoseax.  12). 

FAMlL'IAR-SPIRIT.    Divination.    Magic. 

FAM'INE.  A  scarcety  of  food.  Several  are 
noticed:  Gen.  xii.  10;  xxvi.  1,  xli;  Ruth  i.  1;  2  K. 
vi.  25;  Acts  xi.  27.  The  most  noted  is  that  of  seven 
years  in  Egypt,  by  which  the  whole  people  were 
reduced  to  dependence  on  the  king,  when  Joseph 
was  prime  minister.  Famine  results  from  want  of 
rain,  visits  of  locusts  and  other  insects.  Amos 
predicted  a  spiritual  famine  (viii.  11).

FELIX 


FAN.  1.  A  hand  machine,  like  a  flat  basket,  for 
winnowing  grain  (Is.  xxx.  24).— 2.  A  hxrge  fork 
with  a  long  handle,  with  which  the  grain  is  thrown 
up  against  the  wind  (Jer.  xv.  7;  Matt.  iii.  12). 

FARTHING  (Gr. 
quadrans,  onefaurth 
of  the  as,  or  msco- 
rion).  Equal  to  two 
lepta  (mites),  about 
%  of  a  cent.  The 
specimens  now  ex-  assarion. 

tant  are  very  neatly  and  artistically  made,  of  cop- 
per or  bronze,  except  that,  like  all  ancient  coin, 
the  odue  is  unfinished. 

FAST.  There  is  no  word  in  the  Pentateuch 
which  means  to  fast.  It  was  a  voluntary,  not  a 
legal,  act.  This  was  probably  a  silent  protest, 
against  the  tendency  to  asceticism,  so  prevalent  in 
the  East.  The  vow  of  the  Nazarite  was  voluntary, 
and  only  included  winy^and  things  related  to  it  in 
origin,  and  the  cases  where  it  was  necessary  were 
few.  Once  a  year,  at  the  yearly  atonement,  the 
people  were  called  to  do  what  became,  after  a 
while,  a  fast  in  common  terms  (Lev.  xvi.  29;  Acts 
xxvii.  9),  but  there  is  no  rule  against  eating  or 
drinking,  while  there  is  against  work— it  was  to  be 
"a  Sabbath  of  rest."  Isaiah  notices  that  when 
the  spiritual  eleuient  declined  the  ceremonial  in- 
creased, and  fasts  became  popular  as  an  easy 
means  of  atonement  (Is.  Iviii.  5).  The  true  fast 
is  to  have  a  serious  and  heartfelt  sorrow  for  sin, 
with  earnest  strivings  to  be  delivered  from  it,  as 
Isaiah  says.  Holiness  and  mourning  are  always, 
in  the  Hebrew  mind,  contrasts— opposite  states  of 
feeling.  The  public  fast  anciently  among  the  He- 
brews as  well  as  among  the  modern  Araos,  was  a 
total  abstinence  from  food  for  twenty-four  hours, 
beginning  at  sunset.  The  forty  days  fast  of  Moses, 
Elijah  and  Jesus  were  miraculous.  Jesus  did  not 
institute  a  fast,  except  the  life-long  fast  of  his  dis- 
ciples, after  his  death,  intimat- 
ed in  Luke  v.  34,  35,  and  di- 
rected those  who  did  fast  to 
conceal  the  fact  by  washing 
and  dressing  as  usual,  so  as 
not  to  appear  to  fast  before 
men  and  not  really  fast  before 
God  (Matt.  vi.  17).  The  mere 
fast  is  no  essential  part  of  the 
gospel  plan,  although  it  was 
practiced  by  the  apostles  (1 
Cor.  vii.  5;  Acts  xiii.  2,  etc.). 
The  real  fast  is  tlie  sacrifice  of 
the  personal  icill,  which  is 
meant  by  the  term  afflicting 
the  soul  (Is.  Iviii.  5) . 

FAT.  The  fat,  as  being  the 
choice  part  of  animals,  and 
especially  sacred  to  the  Lord, 
was  always  to  be  burned  in 
sacrifice,  even  when  other 
parts  were  to  be  eaten.  The 
fat  and  the  blood  were  not  to 
be  eaten  (Lev.  iii.  16,  17;  vii. 
23-27).  The  term /ri<  was  ap- 
plied to  the  best  and  most  ex- 
cellent of  all  things,  as  the  fat 
of  the  earth,  of  the  wheat,  of 
the  oil,  the  vine,  and  even 
the  fat  of  the  mighty.  The 
burning  of  it  in  the  sacrifice  is  typical  of  the 
offering  of  what  was  best  and  loftiest  in  Christ's 
pure  humanity.  In  him  alone  was  there  anything 
strictly  good  to  offer.  The  offering  of  his  fol- 
lowers is  only  acceptable  through  the  working  of 
his  grace  in  their  hearts  (Ps.  xii.  1). — 2.  Fat,  for 
vat,  in  wine  fat. 

FATHEK.  1.  Male  parent— 2.  Any  male  ances- 
sor,  as  Father  Abraham. — 3.  Any  man  in  the  po- 
sition of  a  father,  as  Joseph  to  Pharaoh. — 4.  The 


inventor  or  teacher  of  an  art  was  called  its  father, 
and  the  father  of  those  who  practiced  it.  "  Jubal 
was  the  father  of  all  such  as  handle  the  harp  or 
organ,"  that  is,  he  was  a  teacher  of  music,  if  not 
its  inventor;  and  "  Jabal,  the  father  of  such  as 
dwell  in  tents"  (Gen.  iv.  20, 21).— 5.  The  builder  or 
founder  of  a  city,  as  Salma,  the  father  of  Bethle- 
hem (1  Chr.  ii.  51).— 6.  Any  one  who  makes  a 
thing  or  produces  it,  or  tells  a  story,  or  recites  a 
poem,  is  called  the  father  of  such  a  thing  or  poem. 
The  authority  of  the  father  was  sanctioned  by  the 
law  of  Moses,  as  standing  between  God  and  man. 
His  blessing  conferred  special  benefits,  and  his 
curse  special  injury.  His  sins  affected  his  chil- 
dren, but  they  were  not  liable  to  punishment  for 
them.  The  command  to  honor  the  parents  was 
the  only  one  to  which  a  promise  was  attached,  in 
the  decalogue,  while  disrespect  and  filial  insubor- 
dination were  the  worst  of  crimes. 

The  principle  of  respect  to  age  and  authority, 
so  universal  in  the  East,  is  derived  from  the  patri- 
archal spirit,  which  still  prevails  outside  of  the 
walled  cities,  especially  among  the  Arabs. 

FATHOM.    See  Measures. 

FAT'LING.    Fat  beast.     In  good  condition. 

FANCHION.  Falchion,  a  short  crooked  sword 
(Judith  xiii.  6;  xvi.  9).    Cimeter. 

FEASTS.    See  Festivals. 

FEET.    See  Washing  Feet,  Sandals. 

FE'LIX.  Claudius  Antonius  Felix  was  the  Ro- 
man governor  (procurator)  of  Judaea,  from  a.  d. 
53  to  60.  He  was  originally  a  slave  and  was  freed 
by  the  Emperor  Claudius.  His  brother  Pallas  was 
also  freed  by  the  Emperor's  mother  Antonia,  and 
deservedly  had  great  influence  with  Claudius. 
Felix  is  said  to  have  ruled  Judsea  in  a  mean,  cruel, 
and  profligate  manner.  Under  the  pretense  of  de- 
stroying robbers  he  crucified  hundreds  of  good  and 
patriotic  Jews.    He  had  trouble  with  false  Mes- 


OATE    OF   NICEA.      BITHTNIA 

siahs  also,  followers  of  a  "certain  Egyptian  magi- 
cian." He  married  Drusilla,  a  Jewess,  sister  of 
the  younger  Agrippa;  whom  he  enticed  from  her 
second  husband  Azizus.  He  kept  Paul  in  prison 
two  years,  hoping  that  his  friends  would  buy  his 
liberty  with  a  heavy  bribe  (see  Paul).  Felix  be- 
ing recalled  to  Rome,  was  succeeded  by  Festus, 
and  being  charged  with  crimes  by  citizens  of  Cses- 
area,  would  have  been  condemned  to  death  but 
for  the  influence  in  his  favor  of  his  brother  Pallas.

FESTIVALS 


FELLEB.  Who  cuts  trees  down,  for  timber  or 
wood  (Is.  xiv.  8). 

FENCED  CITIES  (Heb.  mibzar,  cutoff,  separate). 
The  difference  between  a  city  and  a  viliage  in  the 
Bible  is  the  wall  around  the  city.  The  village  had 
a  watch-tower  only.  Sometimes  the  houses  are 
built  close  together  around  a  space,  forming  a  wall, 
the  entrance  having  a  gate.  Jerusalem,  as  de- 
scribed by  Josephus,  had  three  walls  on  some  sides, 
with  towers  and  battlements.  Some  of  the  cities 
in  Assyria  were  surrounded  with  very  wide  and 
high  walls,  with  a  ditch  outside  for  water,  and  a 
palisade  in  the  middle  of  the  ditch.  These  are 
found  drawn  in  the  sculptures. 

FEK'RET  (Heb.  anakah,  sighs  or  groans').  For- 
merly translated  shrew-mouse,  but  now  the  Gecko, 
of  which  there  are  several  in  Palestine.  It  is  also 
called  the  Fan-foot.  It  is  a  lizard,  vdth  padded' 
feet,  and  can  move  up  and  down  walls  like  a  fly, 
without  noise,  except  what  it  makes  with  its  voice, 
•which  sounds  like  its  name — geck-o.    They  are  red.

brown,  green,  or  bright  blue,  and  all  studded  with

FER'RY-BOAT  (Heb.  abarah).  Perhaps  a  raft 
(2  Sam.  xix.  18). 

FESTIVALS.  The  law  plainly  intended  stated 
and  regular  meetings  for  worship,  at  shorter  or 
longer  intervals.  No  rule  was  made  for  any  parti- 
cular form  of  gathering,  but  each  community  was 
left  to  direct  its  own  affairs.  Wlien  synagogues 
were  built,  after  the  Captivity,  the  service  was 
made  more  uniform.  These  gatherings  were  in- 
tended to  be  holy  (Is.  i.  13;  Ps.  Ixxxi.  3,  etc.). 
They  were  sacred  seasons — feasts  of  the  soul. 

1.  The  Weekly  Sabbath  (Heb.  shabbath,  a 
day  of  rest).  The  7th  day  of  the  week  (Gen.  ii. 
3),  was  estabhshed  by  law  (Ex.  xvi.  23,  29),  to  be 
kept  by  the  whole  people  (Ex.  xxv.  25).  Isaiah 
utters  solemn  warning  against  profaning,  and  pro- 
mises blessings  for  the  due  observance  of  it  (Is. 
Iviii.  13).  The  Scribes  and  Pharisees  invented 
many  strict  rules,  which  hedged  about  the  day  and 
bound  the  people  hand  and  foot,  so  that  Jesus 
found  it  necessary  to  repeat  the  saying  that  "the 
Sabbath  was  made  for  man,  and  not  man  for  the  Sab- 
bath." It  was  the  key-note  to  a  system  consisting 
of  7th  day,  7th  week,  7th  month,  7th  year,  and  year 
of  jubilee,  which  was  at  the  end  of  7"times  7  years. 
Each  of  these  periods  had  its  sacred  day.  It  was 
lawful  and  customary  for  the  priests  to  light  fires, 
bake  the  shew-bread,  and  do  other  needed  work 
about  the  Temple.  "There  was  no  Sabbath  in 
holy  things." 

2.  Passover  or  Feast  of  IJNiiEAVENED  Bread. 
It  was  kept  in  the  14th  day  of  the  first  month, 
"  between  the  two  evenings  " — that  is,  late  in  the 
evening  is  the  Lord's  Passover.  On  the  next  day, 
the  15th,  is  the  feast  of  the  unleavened  bread,  con- 
tinuing 7  days  (Lev.  xxiii.  5).  The  lamb  sacrificed 
for  the  passover  must  be  of  the  first  year,  and 
without  blemish  (1  Cor.  v.  7).  The  flesh  of  the 
paschal  lamb  was  eaten  to  show  the  actual  fellow- 
ship which  the  partakers  of  the  feast  held  with 
God  as  the  result  of  the  atoning  sacrifice. 


The  Passover  was  the  annual  national  birthday 
festival,  and  was  held  in  the  first  month  when  the 
ears  of  grain  were  forming.  The  lamb  was  roasted 
(not  boiled),  not  a  bone  broken,  and  was  entirely 
eaten,  the  persons  standing,  with  loins  girt,  a  staff 
in  hand,  shoes  on,  ready  for  a  journey,  m  memory 
of  the  Exodus.  The  Pharisees  excused  the  custom 
of  reclining  at  the  table  in  their  day,  by  saying 
that  it  was  a  sign  of  the  rest  that  the  Lord  had 
granted  his  people.  The  bitter  herbs  eaten  with 
the  lamb  were  reminders  of  the  bondage  in  Egypt, 
and  of  the  anxiety  and  trouble  mingled  with  bless- 
ings in  life,  an  emblem  of  the  crucifixion  of  nature. 
Leavened  bread  was  not  to  be  eaten  for  a  week — 
unleavened  bread  was  "the  bread  of  affliction," 
"for  they  came  out  of  Egypt  in  haste."  Leaven 
is  a  species  of  corruption — against  which  Jesus 
warned  his  disciples  as  in  the  peculiar  errors  of  the 
Pharisees  (Matt.  xvi.  6).  The  feast  also  pointed 
to  the  future — to  the  sacrifice  of  the  Paschal  Lamb 
(Luke  xxii.  15,  16). 

The  Feast  of  Weeks  (Greek  name  Pen- 
tecost.) The  presentation  of  the  first  ripe 
ears  of  barley.  It  was  also  the  feast  of  first- 
fruits  and  of  harvest.  The  offering  was  made 
by  the  priest  waving  two  loaves,  made  of  the 
best  of  the  crop,  of  fine  wheat  flour,  leavened 
and  baked,  but  not  put  on  the  altar  (where 
no  leaven  could  be  placed),  (Deut.  xxvi.  2). 
This  feast  was  in  memory  of  the  giving  of  the 
Law.  It  was  the  end  of  the  harvest,  as  the 
second  day  of  the  Passover  was  the  first,  and 
it  was  the  end  of  the  Week  of  Weeks — seven 
times  seven  days.  Canaan  was  in  a  peculiar 
sense  God's  land,  and  as  He  manifests  his  care 
in  providing,  He  should  be  honored  by  those 
who  are  partakers  of  his  bounty.  In  spiritual 
matters  it  was  also  the  harvest  season — the  end  of 
Christ's  personal  ministry  on  earth. 

The  Feast  of  Trumpets,  or  New  Moon.  The 
year  was  reckoned  by  the  moon,  twelve  or  more 
moons  making  a  year  (see  Chronology)  .  Besides 
the  usual  oft'erings  (Num.  xxii.  11-15),  there  was  a 
blowing  of  trumpets,  as  sung  in  Ps.  Ixxxi.  3.  It 
occurred  on  the  first  of  the  7th  month,  near  our 
October.  The  voice  of  God  and  the  voice  of  the 
trumpet  on  Mt.  Sinai  were  heard  together  (Ex. 
xix.  16-19).  It  was  a  symbol  of  the  mighty  voice  of 
God.  The  first  was  the  sacred  month,  and  was 
therefore  placed  seventh  in  the  calendar.  Four  days 
were  sabbaths,  the  10th  was  the  Day  of  Atonement, 
the  16th  was  the  Feast  of  Tabernacles. 

The  Feast  op  the  Day  op  Atonement  (see 
Atonement).  It  was  the  occasion  above  all 
others,  on  which  the  ideas  of  sin  and  atonement 
rose  to  their  highest  potency  in  the  ritual  of  the 
old  covenant,  exhibiting  those  ideas  in  their  clear- 
est light,  how  one  ordained  from  among  men, 
for  the  purpose  of  drawing  near  to  God,  medi- 
ates in  behalf  of  his  fellow  men  in  things  per- 
taining to  sin  and  salvation. 

The  Feast  op  Tabernacles,  the  last  of  the 
appointed  festivals  under  the  old  covenant,  be- 
ginning on  the  15th  of  the  7th  month,  and  lasting 
seven  days.  The  real  name  is  booths,  and  was 
celebrated  "in  the  end  of  the  year,  when  they  had 
gathered  in  their  labors  out  of  the  field"  (Ex. 
xxiii.  16).  The  crops  and  the  vintage  are  supposed 
to  be  ended,  and  this  was  practically  the  end 
of  the  year.  The  booths  were  temporary  and 
slight  structures  of  sticks  and  leaves  (Neh.  vi'ii.  16). 
Its  object  was  to  keep  in  memory  the  sojourn  in  the 
wilderness,  a  sort  of  perpetual  renewing  of  their 
religious  youth,  when  the  covenant  of  the  Law 
was  first  given.  There  was  the  same  sin-offering 
for  each  day,  and  double  the  other  offerings,  two 
rams  and  fourteen  lambs  each  day,  and  thirteen

FESTUS 


105 


FIRMAMENT 


tlie  Feast  of  the  Dedication,  in  memory  of  the 
fresh  consecration  of  the  temple  after  it  had  been 
profaned  by  Antiochus  Epiphanes  (1  Mace.  iv.  52 
-59),  B.  C.  ltJ4  (Jolni  x.  Tl).  It  was  lield  begin- 
ning on  the  15tli  day  of  the  l)th  montli  (December) 
and  histed  eight  days.  The  modern  Jews  light 
one  light  on  the  first  day,  two  on  the  next,  etc.  (8 
on  the  last),  making  it  a  "Feast  of  Lights"  (Ant. 
xii.  7,  7).    Business  and  jollity  going  on  as  usual. 

The  FE.iST  OF  PuRiM  is  kept  on  the  14th  and 
15th  of  the  12th  month,  Adar  (March).  See  Book 
OF  Esther  in  the  IIistoky. 

Feasts  of  Charity  or  Love  Feast.  See 
Agape. 

FES'TTJS  PORCruS.  The  successor  of  Felix  as 
governor  of  Judaia,  A.  D.  60.  His  term  was  short, 
for  he  died  in  a  little  while  (A.  D.  62).  lie  was 
superior  to  Felix,  and  would  have  S(!t  Paul  at 
liberty,  if  he  had  understood  the  case,  which  Paul 
seeing,  he  appealed  to  Ciesar  (Acts  xxiv.  27).  He 
gave  the  apostle  a  hearing  ni  the  presence  of 
Agrippa  and  Berenice,  and  was  astonished  at  his 
l)reailiing,  but  supposed  it  came  from  a  heated 
imagination  aided  by  the  peculiar  dreamy  specula- 
tions of  the  East,  lie  got  into  a  quarrel  with  the 
priests  at  Jerusalem  by  building  a  dining  room 
in  the  governor's  house,  .which  overlooked  the 
temi)le  courts,  when  the  priests  built  a  high  wall, 
cutting  otf  tlie  view.  The  emperor  afterward  sus- 
tained the  priests  (Ant.  xx.  8).  He  was  a  good 
man  and  governor,  but  indifferent  to  religion. 

FETTERS.  Chains  to  confine  the  feet,  made  of 
bronze  or  iron  (Judg.  xvi.  21;  brass,  iron  in  Ps. 
ev.  \h). 

FEVER  (Heb.  kaddachath).  Burning  ague 
in  Lev.  xxvi.  21.  Dalleketh  is  translated  in- 
llanunation  in  Dent,  xxviii.  22,  and  chakchur, 
extreme  burnings.  Greek  purdos,  fever  in  Matt. 
viii.  15,  etc.  Malignant  fevers  are  still  met  with  in 
Palestine,  near  water,  in  the  spring'  and  autumn, 
especially  about  the  Sea  of  Gahlee  {Land  and  Book, 
i.  547). 

FIELD  (Heb.  sadeh).  A  field  which  is  not 
fenced;  an  open  field  (Num.  xxii.  23,  24).  Sepa- 
rate plots  were  marked  by  stones  (Dent.  xix.  14), 
which  might  be  removed  (Job.  xiv.  2) ;  and  it  was 
necessary  to  watch  the  flocks  and  herds  day  and 
night  to  prevent  trespass.  Fuli£r's  Field,  Pot- 
ter's Field. 

FlG  (Heb.  TEENAH;  Arab,  tin,  the  ficus  carica 
tree;  Gr.  s?de,  fig-tree;  suka  (sycamore)  figs. 
Three  kinds  are  cultivated:  1.  The  early  fig  (Heb. 
BOKKORE,  early  fig;  biccxjrah,  first  ripe),  ripe  in 
June,  green  in  color. — 2.  The  summer  fig  (ker- 
Mous),  ripe  in  August,  is  sweet  and  the  best,  purple 
in  color;  and  the  green  fig  (pag)  which  remains  on 
the  tree  all  winter.  {J^etfirp'hdge,  place  of  figs). 
Debelah,  cake  of  figs  in  1  Sam.  xxx.  12.  It  is 
still  used  in  the  East  as  the  most  convenient  and 
the  best  poultice  (2  K.  xx.  7;  Is.  xxxviii.  21).  It 
is  one  of  the  tew  plants  which  grow  wild  all  over 
the  country.  The  fig  tree  puts  forth  its  earliest 
fruit  buds  before  its  leaves,  and  the  foliage  forms 
a  very  dense  shade.  "  To  sit  every  man  under  his 
vine  and  under  his  fig  tree,"  indicates  in  the  East 
the  fullest  idea  of  peace,  security  and  prosperity. 
Jeremiah  (as  well  as  several  other  prophets)  uses 
the  fig  thnmgh  all  of  his  books  as  an  emblem  of 
good  or  evil,  and  particularly  in  chap.  xxiv.  Jesus 
made  frequent  use  of  the  tree  or  its  fruit  as  an 
emblem  or  a  means  of  instruction,  especially  in  the 
case  of  the  barren  fig  tree,  as  a  lesson  against 
deceit.  It  grows  best  near  a  fountain  or  stream. 
The  sycamore  fig  grows  to  a  large  size  in  Palestine 
and  Egypt— sometimes  .50  feet  in  circumference — 
and  is  evergreen.  The  fruit  is  purple,  smaller  than 
the  other  kinds,  sweetish,  and  not  so  valuable. 
They  ripen  from  November  to  June.  The  wood  is 
used  for  many  purposes,  as  it  is  almost  the  only 
large  tree  in  Egypt. 


FiLE  (Heb.  PET8IR8AH).  In  1  Sam.  xiii.  21, 
translated  file.    The  woi'd  means  notched. 

FINGER  (Ileb.  etsaba).  The  priest  sprinkled 
with  his  forefinger  (Lev.  iv.  6).  A  certain  ges- 
ture of  the  finger  indicated  contempt  (Is.  Iviii.  9). 
The  FINGER  OF  God,  is  his  power  (Ex.  viii.  19). 

FIR  (Heb.  BKROSH,  beroth,  to  cut  up  into  boards). 
Pine,  cypress,  juniper,  or  various  evergreen 
trees.  Found  in  the  mountains.  The  timber 
was  supplied  to  King  Solomon  by  Hiram  for  the 
temple,  for  the  floors  and  doors.  It  was  used  for 
musical  instruments  (2  Sam.  vl.  6).  The  tree 
is  next  in  size  to  the  cedar.  It  is  used  by  the 
poets  and  prophets  among  their  figuies. 


BYCAMORR  FIO. 

FIRE  (Heb.  esh).  The  symbol  of  Jehovah's 
presence,  and  first  kindled  by  the  Lord  (Lev.  vi. 
9;  2  Chr.  vii.  1).  Sacred  fire  could  only  be  had 
from  the  altar,  and  the  crime  of  Nadab  and  Abihu 
was  in  using  "strange  fire"  from  some  other 
source.  No  fire  could  oe  kindled  on  the  Sabbath, 
except  by  the  priests  for  holy  purposes.  Fire  for 
cooking  is  made  with  sticks,  grass  and  dried  dung. 
To  set  fire  to  a  grain  field  is  a  capital  offense.  Aiiy 
damage  by  a  careless  fire  must  be  made  good  (Ex. 
xxii.  6). 

Fire  was  used  to  burn  certain  criminals  and  pris- 
oners, and  in  some  cases  to  destroy  an  enemy's 
city,  and  in  the  art  of  metallurgy.  Fire  was  a  sym- 
bol of  fierce  passion,  calamities  etc.,  and  an  emblem 
of  healing  spiritually  (Mai.  iii.  2) .  A  baptism  by 
fire. 

FIRE-PAN  (Heb.  machtah).  Snuff-dish,  or  some 
utensil  used  about  the  altar. 

FIRKIN  (John  ii.  6; Greek  metretes).  The  firkin 
is  a  larger  vessel  than  the  one  meant  in  the  text. 

FIRMAMENT  (Heb.  rakia).  The  expanse;  the 
sky  over  our  heads.  On  the  second  day  the  ex- 
panse was  made;  on  the  fourth,  in  the  expanse  was 
made  the  sun,  moon  and  stars.

FIEST-BORN 


106 


FLOWEES 


FIRST-BOBlf  (Heb.  bechor).   See  Birthright. 

The  religious  bearing  was  the  most  important. 
Christ  is  the  first  born  of  all  creation  (Col.  1.  16, 
18),  and  the  first  born  from  the  dead. 

FIRST-FRUITS  (biccurim).  Among  fruits  what 
the  first-born  is  among  men  and  beasts.  The  first 
or  best  of  the  oil,  of  tne  wine,  of  the  wheat,  of  ail 
the  harvest,  was  sacred  to  the  Lord,  to  be  given  in 
a  quantity,  accordinging  to  the  will  and  inclination 
of  each  person.  The  faithful  priest  reaped  a  rich 
reward  from  the  holy  zeal  that  he  instilled  into  the 
hearts  of  his  people.  The  doctors  limited  the  gifts 
to  the  60th  part  as  the  least  that  woxdd  be  accepted. 
In  the  later  times  the  Jews  turned  the  gifts  into 
money.  This  custom  was  not  peculiar  to  Israel. 
The  first-fruits  were  often  sent  to  Jerusalem  from 
foreign  countries. 


FISH  (Heb.  dao,  dagah;  Gr.  icthus).  No  par- 
ticular kind  of  fish  is  mentioned  by  name  in  tlae 
Bible;  but  there  are  frequent  references  to  fish  gen- 
erally. It  is  a  little  remarkable  that  the  apostles, 
who  were  professed  fishermen,  did  not  designate 
by  name  any  kinds  of  fish,  saleable  or  unsaleable, 
and  especially  tlie  one  bearing  the  tribute-money. 
It  would  have  been  interesting  to  know  the  name 
of  the  fish,  as  well  as  that  of  the  coin.  Even  the 
law  of  Moses  does  not  mention  names  (as  among 
animals),  but  character  only,  as  fins  and  scales  for 
pure  or  clean,  that  might  be  eaten.  Solomon's 
treatise  on  fishes  (1  K.  iv.  33),  is  lost.  The  Greek 
fiirnishes  400  names  for  varieties  of  fishes,  but  the 
Hebrew  has  not  one.  Jacob  knew  how  rapidly 
they  increase,  for  he  alludes  to  this  fact  in  his 
blessings  (Gen.  xlviii.  16),  "multitude,"  etc., 
meaning  in  the  original  "as  fishes  do  increase." 
Fish  were  eaten  from  the  earliest  times  (Num.  xi. 
22),  and  one  of  the  gates  of  Jerusalem  was  called 
Fish  Gate.  In  Egypt,  the  monuments  show  many 
pictures  of  fish  and  fishing.  The  historians  speak 
of  the  vast  quantities  of  fish  taken,  from  which  the 
royal  revenue  was  derived  for  the  queen's  special 


use,  for  jewelry,  perfumery,  etc.,  of  $560,000  a 
year.  The  Assyrian  sculptures  also  show  men 
fishing.  The  Egyptians  also  dried  and  salted  fish, 
as  shovsTi  in  the  sculptures. 

FITCHES  (Heb.  ketzach).  "The  fitches  are 
beaten  out  with  a  staff,"  (Is.  xxviii.  27).  The  fen- 
nel-flower, a  coarse  kind  of  pea,  hard,  but  nutri- 
tious. In  the  great  famine  in  England  in  1555  wild 
fitches  saved  many  people  from  starving.  It  grows 
all  over  Europe  and  Asia.  The  "  fitches"  in  Eze- 
kiel's  symbolized  bread  (iv.  9),  was  spelt  (Heb. 
kussemeth),  a  grain  sometliing  like  wheat. 

FLAG  (Heb.  suph,  and  achu).  The  ark  of  Mo- 
ses was  floated  among  the  flags  (Ex.  ii.  3) ,  suph. 
Isaiah  predicts  that  the  reeds  and  flags  shaU  wither 
(xix.  6)  in  Egypt:  "Can  the  flag  grow  witliout 
water?"  (achu.  Job.  viii.  11).  It  is  rendered 
meadow  or  marsh  in  Gen.  xli.  2,  18.  Any  water- 
plant  would  answer  the  case.  The  Edible  Eush, 
and  Flowering  Eush  grow  both  in  Egypt  and  Pal- 
estine.   The  name  of  the  Eed  Sea  is  Yam  Suph. 

FLAG'ON  (Heb.  ashishah).  In  2  Sam.  vi.  19; 
Cant.  ii.  15,  and  Hosea  ill.  1,  it  is  a  cake  of  raisins. 
—2.  (Heb.  nebel).  In  Is.  xxii.  24  is  a  bottle  of 
skin  or  pottery. 

FLAx  (Heb.  PiSHTAp,  peeled).  Very  few  plants 
are  so  beautiful  and  so  useful  as  the  slender  flax, 
with  its  tall,  taper  leaves,  large  purple  flowers,  and 
its  strong  fibre  from  which  the  most  delicate  lawn 
or  coarsest  canvas  is  made.  The  holy  garments  of 
Aaron,  and  the  curtains  of  the  tabernacle  were 
partly  of  linen.  Its  whiteness,  in  Unen,  was  a 
symbol  of  purity.  The  ancient  sculptures  repre- 
sent the  manufacture  of  linen  (Prov.  xxxi.  13). 

FLEA  (Heb.  parosh).  "The  king  of  the  fleas 
holds  his  court  in  Tiberias,"  now  as  ever  in  old 
times.  Frequent  change  of  linen  is  the  only  means 
of  keeping  clear  of  them  in  the  East.  They  almost 
disappear  in  the  heat  of  summer.  They  swarm  on 
travelers,  when  scarcely  touching  natives.  They 
are  said  to  produce  a  healthy  irritation  in  the  skin. 
David  says:  "After  whom  is  the  king  of  Israel 
come  out?  *  *  *  after  one  flea?"  (loam.  xxiv. 
14,  xxvi.  20). 

FLESH  (basar).    All  that  is  of  flesh  and  blood 
(Gen.  vi.  13) ;  and  the  human  race  (Luke  iii.  6, 
etc.).    The  weakness,  and  frailty  of  man  is  also 
flesh  (Eom.  iv.  1).    Flesh  is  also  the  antipathy  to- 
spirit  (viii.  1). 

FLIES  FLY  (Heb.  zebub,  arob).  Common 
house-flies  swarm  in  great  numbers  in  the  East. 
The  peculiar  gray  fly  (Ar.  thebab)  which  comes 
with  the  rise  of  the  Nile  is  productive  of  disease 
in  both  man  and  animals.  The  arob  was  the  fly,  or 
swarm  of  insects  of  one  of  the  plagues  in  Egypt. 
Flies  in  the  East  are  veiy  persistent  in  settling  on 
persons,  never  quitting  until  dark,  and  are  the 
means  of  carrying  diseases  from  one  to  another. 
The  Philistines  had  a  god,  Baal-zebub,  whose  spe- 
cial duty  it  was  to  take  care  of  flies.  Judging  from 
their  number  they  are  well  cared  for.  The  "  oint- 
ment (perfume)  of  the  apothecary"  (Eccles.  x.  1) 
was  attractive  to  flies,  and  their  dead  bodies  spoiled 
its  odor,  and  so  would  little  f  oUies  spoil  the  reputa- 
tion of  a  wise  man.  The  man  is  the  perfume,  his 
little  folly  the  dead  fly,  his  disgrace  the  bad  odor. 

FLINT  (challamish).  Used  in  Dent.  viu.  15; 
and  Psalms  cxiv.  8,  in  reference  to  God's  bringing 
water  and  oil  out  of  the  naturally  barren  rocks  for 
the  sake  of  his  people.  In  Is.  i.  7,  it  is  a  metaphor 
of  the  firmness  of  the  prophet  in  resisting  his  ene- 
mies, as  also  in  Ez.  iii.  9. 

FLOOD.    Deluge. 

FLOOR.    Pavement. 

FLOUR.    Bread. 

FLOWERS.  Flowering  plants  and  shrubs  are 
found  in  great  numbers  and  variety  all  over  Pales- 
tine, except  in  the  highest  regions  of  the  moun- 


l,e,  1,  o,  u,  y,long;  S,5, 1,0,  ti,  y,short;  care,  far,  last,  fall,  what;  thSre,  veil,  term;  pique,  firm;  done, for,  do,  wolf,  fobd,f4^^

tains,  and  in  the  shifting  sands  of  the  desert. 
2500  have  been  named  and  classified,  500  of  wliich 
are  well  known  in  Europe.  The  most  abundant 
families  of  plants  are  Leguminous,  pod-bearing, 
such  as  peas,  beans,  pulse;  the  Astragalus  and  the 
Acacia.  A  vast  number  of  thistles,  centauries, 
and  other  like  plants,  cover  the  richest  plains  and 
the  stony  hills.  Many  sweet  flowering  shrubs, 
such  as  marjoram,  thyme,  lavender,  calaminth, 
sage,  and  others  similar.  A  vast  number  and  va- 
riety of  weeds,  mustard  being  the  king  of  all. 
Fennel,  Bupleurum,  and  Eryiigium  form  dense 
rows  of  foliage  and  flowers  along  the  border  of 
woods,  and  in  damp  hollows.  Soap  plant  is  con- 
spicuous, and  the  Boraginece,  annual  weeds,  be- 
sides which  are  the  Echiums,  Anchusas,  and  other 
fine  species.  Scrophularia,  Veronica,  Linaria  and 
Verbascum  (mulleins)  are  very  abundant.  Grasses 
are  very  numerous,  many  species  bearing  silky 
plumes  of  flowers  of  great  beauty  and  grace.  The 
variety  and  beauty  of  the  family  of  lilies  is  no 
where  exceeded.  The  lily  springs  up  everywhere, 
and  the  Amaryllids  are  of  great  size,  beauty,  and 
variety.  Fritillarias  and  squills  are  in  abundance, 
and  bear  pretty  flowers.  Violets  and  geraniums 
are  very  numerous  and  finely  colored.  Koses  are 
a  subject  of  profitable  cultivation  for  attar,  and  a 
valley  near  Jerusalem  is  called  the  Valley  of  Roses 
(Wady  el  Werd).  The  Narcissus  is  very  beauti- 
ful, abundant  and  in  several  varieties,  and  is  be- 
lieved to  be  the  flower  alluded  to  by  the  poet  in 
Cant.  ii.  1,  and  the  prophet  in  Is.  xxxv.  1.  Several 
other  Amaryllids  are  found  in  great  numbers,  and 
almost  the  "most  showy  plants"  in  the  field.  Iris, 
crocus,  and  gladiolus  grow  very  large  and  showy. 
Broom,  ivy,  dog-rose,  elder,  honeysuckle,  berberry, 
hawthorn,  and  jasmine  are  found  in  Lebanon  and 
Anti-Lebanon,  at  and  above  4000  feet  elevation. 
Rhododendrons,  primrose,  and  a  great  variety  of 
plants,  from  5000  to  7000,  and  some  kinds  are  found 
even  up  to  the  limits  of  the  snow  line;  at  8000  Vicia 
fonns  tufts  of  pale  blue,  at  9000  there  are  Arena- 
ria,  Arabis,  Urabas,  Festuca,  and  Potentilla, while 
the  little  Nooea  and  the  Oxyria  grows  on  the  very 
summit  of  Khodib,  10,200  feet  high.  From  the 
sands  of  the  desert  to  the  snows  of  the  mountain 
summits  ther^  are  flowers  of  many  varieties, 
blooming  in  every  month  of  the  year. 

FLTITE  (Chaldee,  mashrokitha).  Made  of  one 
or  more  pipes.  Pipe  in  1  K.  i.  40.  One  of  the  sim- 
plest and  oldest  of  musical  instruments.  Used  at 
banquets  (Is.  v.  12),  at  public  worship  (Dan.  iii. 
5,  etc. ) ,  marriages,  funerals,  and  by  pilgrims  on  the 
way  to  the  yearly  meeting. 

FLUX.  Dysentery  of  a  very  severe  kind  in  the 
East,  attended  with  fever  (Acts  xxviii.  8).  The 
Oriental  custom  of  wearing  a  bandage  around  the 
bowels  is  a  preventive  of  Dowel  disorder  by  pro- 
tecting against  the  sudden  changes  from  hot  to 
cold  winch  always  follows  sundown.  When  bloody 
the  dysentery  is  less  dangerous.  King  Jehorum 
had  a  chronic  dysentery,  with  prolapsus  ani  (2 
Chr.  xxi.  15). 

FOOD.  Some  kind  of  prohibition  in  what  may  be 
eaten  or  may  not  has  been  known  from  the  earliest 
times.  The  human  race  can  eat  "  every  herb  bear- 
ing seed, ' '  and  ' '  every  tree  in  which  is  the  fruit  of 
a  tree"  (Gen.  i.  29),  and  also  "every  moving  thing 
that  liveth,"  but  flesh  with  the  life  thereof,  which 
is  the  blood,  was  prohibited  (Gen.  ix.  3,  4).  And 
other  rules  made  distinctions  of  clean  and  unclean 
among  animals,  fowls  and  fishes,  for  food.  (See 
Clean.)  The  climate  influences  the  diet  all  over 
the  world.  Animal  food  is  not  needed,  and  cannot 
be  used,  during  the  greater  part  of  the  year,  nor 
can  it  be  kept  m  a  healthy  state  for  any  length  of 
time  in  the  hot  season.  The  sacrificial  feasts  oc- 
curring at  long  intervals  when  animal  food  was 
eaten,  were  very  acceptable,  on  account  of  the  ab- 
stinence precedine  them.    Bread  is  the  chief  food 


besides  fruit  and  vegetables.  Elce  is  much  used. 
(Bread.)  Neither  eggs  nor  fowls  are  mentioned 
among  gifts  of  fir.st-fruits,  although  they  are 
largely  used  now  in  the  East.  Almost  every  known 
fruit  and  vegetable  can  be  had,  in  plenty  and  of 
good  quality.  Milk,  cheese,  butter  (melted  as  oil), 
oil  of  olives,  and  honey,  or  molasses  from  grapes 
(dibs)  can  be  found  everywhere.  Condiments  of 
many  kinds  are  in  common  use;  and  much  use  is 
made  of  aromatic  herbs  in  cookery.  Nuts  cooked 
with  meat  adds  delicacy  to  the  flavor.  Highly  sea- 
soned food,  with  spices,  salt,  onions,  garlic,  lemons, 
pomegranates,  and  verjuice,  makes  a  savory  dish. 
Cracked  wheat  is  boiled  with  meat,  "billing, 
cooking,  and  eating  in  rapid  succession  is  a  very 
old  custom  "  {Land  and  Book,  ii.  Itj2).  The  Arabs 
have  many  caustic  terms  of  contemjit  for  the  man 
who  neglects  to  honor  a  guest  with  a  "sacrifice  " 
of  a  lamb,  kid,  or  calf,  as  required  by  the  laws  of 
hospitality.  (See  Meals,  Wine,  Water).  Milk 
and  honey,  and  oil  with  honey,  or  butter  with  ho- 
ney, are  clioice  dishes,  eaten  with  bread,  usually 
for  breakfast. 

FOOL.  Used  of  moral  more  than  of  intellectual 
deficiencies,  of  one  who  does  not  fear  God,  and  acts 
without  regard  to  His  law  (Ps.  xiv.  1). 

FOOT.  (See  Washing  Feet).  The  foot  was 
used  as  a  symbol  of  many  ideas.  Such  phrases  as 
"slipping  of  the  foot,"  "stumbling,"  and  "from 
head  to  foot,"  need  no  explanation.  "To be  under 
the  feet,"  means  subject  to  a  king,  or  as  a  servant 
to  the  master  (Ps.  viii.  6;  Heb.  ii.  8) ;  derived  from 
the  symbolical  act  of  a  conquerer  who  placed  his 
foot  on  the  neck  of  his  subdued  enemies  in  token 
of  triumph  (Josh.  x.  24),  as  may  be  seen  in  the 
sculptures  on  the  ancient  monuments.  To  be  at 
any  one's  feet  meant  service  or  pupilage  (Judg.  iv. 
10),  and  Paul  actually  sat  at  the  feet  of  Gamaliel 
(who  sat  on  a  raised  seat),  as  was  the  custom  then 
(Acts  xxii.  3).  "  Lameness  of  feet "  is  affliction  or 
calamity  (Ps.  xxxv.  15).  To  set  one's  foot  in  a 
place  is  to  take  possession  (Deut.  i.  36).  To  water 
with  the  foot  is  to  turn  the  little  rills  easily  (this 
was  a  mark  of  the  superiority  of  Palestine  to  Egypt, 
because  rain  and  brooks  were  there  instead  of  the 
Nile  and  the  artificial  canals);  (xi.  10.)  To  walk 
with  a  straight  foot  "uprightly"  in  Gal.  ii.  14.  Na- 
ked feet  (out  of  doors)  was  poverty  or  mourning 


(Ez.  xxiv.  17).  Uncovering  the  feet,  or  taking 
off  the  overshoe  in  the  East,  is  equivalent  to  taking 
off  the  hat  with  us.  Uncovering  the  feet  was  a 
part  of  the  act  of  adoration  (Ex.  iii.  4),  as  Moses 
before  the  burning  bush.  "  How  beautiful  on  the 
mountains  are  the  feet  of  him  who  brings  glad  ti- 
dings" (Is.  Hi.  7). 

The  Hebrews  were  modest  in  their  writings,  and 
used  the  word  foot  for  certain  parts  and  actions 


furl,  rude,  push;  e,  t,  o,  silent;  9  asp;  rha."  Bh;-e,-oh  ask;  jf  as  j;  gas  in  Jet;  r  asz;  xaigz;  n  as  in  linger,  link;  th  as  in  thine. 


FOOTMEN 


which  could  not  be  named.  "Hair  of  the  foot," 
"water  of  the  foot,"  "between  the  feet"  (Deut. 
xxviii.  57),  "he  covereth  his  feet"  (Judg.  iii.  24 
for  "dismisses  the  refuse  of  nature.") 

FOOTMEN  (Heb.  ragli).  1.  Soldiers;  not  horse- 
men.— 2.  (Heb.  ROOTz.)  Swift  runners  (1  Sam. 
viii.  11;  xxii.  17).  Paul  refers  to  them  (1  Cor.  ix. 
24).    Ehjah  ran  before  Ahab  as  a  footman. 

FORDS.  Places  for  crossing  a  river  by  wading. 
See  Jordan. 


108  FOX 

FOUN'DEE  (Judg.  xvii.  4;  Jer.  vi.  29).    Metals. 

FOTJlf'TAIN  (Heb.  ayin,  to  flow;  mayan,  a  gush- 
ing;  bor,  a  cistern;  mabbua,  to  bubble  out;  makob, 
to  dig) .  These  several  words  are  translated  fount- 
ain, but  only  one,  ayin,  really  means  a  spring  of 
water.  The  springs  of  Palestine  are  remarkable 
for  their  great  number,  and  some  of  them  for  their 
immense  volume.  Water  there  is  f ertihty  and  life, 
and  the  whole  land  is  full  of  great  fountains,  such 
as  those  of  the  Dog  River;  of  the  Eiver  of  Beirut; 


FORE'HEAD  (Ez.  ix.  4) .  It  was  (and  is  now 
in  India)  the  custom  in  the  East  to  mark  or  color 
the  forehead,  to  distinguish  the  holy  from  the  pro- 
fane (Rev.  xiii.  16),  the  devotees  of  certain  idols, 
and  also  slaves.  "Jewels  for  the  forehead"  (Ez. 
xvi.  12),  means  nose-rings,  or,  it  may  be,  strings 
of  coins. 

FOREST  (Heb.  yaar,  abundance,  forest;  cho- 
RESH,  thick  wood;  pardes,  orchard).  Since  the 
historical  era,  Palestine  has  had  few  forests,  the 
trees  being  mostly  fruit  or  ornamental.  The  high- 
lands were  probably  once  well  wooded.  Several 
forests  are  mentioned:  of  Lebanon,  which  must 
have  been  one  of  great  extent  (see  Cedar,  Fir); 
of  Hareth;  of  Carmel;  of  Ephraim,  etc.  There  are 
now  extensive  forests  in  Persia,  of  oak,  terebinth 
(Is.  ii.  13;  Ez.  xxvii.  6).  "The  house  of  the 
forest  of  Lebanon ' '  was  built  of  cedar  and  fir  from 
Lebanon,  with  many  pillars  like  a  forest,  in  Jeru- 
salem (1  K.  vii.  2).  The  forest  supplies  the  poets 
and  prophets  with  many  fine  figures. 

FORKS  (1  Sam.  xiii.  21).  Hay-forks  with  three 
or  more  prongs;  used,  also,  in  winnowing  grain. 

FORNICATION.    Adultery. 

FORTIFICA'TION.  Fenced  Cities  (Micah  vii. 
12).

12).    Fenced  Cities. 

FORTTJNA'TUS.  Disciple  at  Ephesus,  native  of 
Corinth  (1  Cor.  xvi.  17).  He  is  also  mentioned  in 
Clement's_Epistle. 

FOTJNDA'TION,  GATE  OF  THE  (2  Chr.  xxiii.  5). 
Jerusalem. 


Damur;  Owely;  Zahrany;  Litany  at  Baalbek; 
Zahleh;  Ainjar,  and  Mushgarah;  Ras  el  Ain  at 
Tyre;  Kabery  and  Naamany  near  Acre;  of  the 
Kishon  at  Janin,  Lejjun,  and  Wady  Kusaby ;  Zerka 
near  Csesarea;  Aujeh  at  Antipatris,  and  the  Ras  in 
Sharon.  And  so  we  might  go  all  through  Pales- 
tine, on  both  sides  of  the  Jordan.  Some  are  hot, 
as  at  Tiberias,  Gadara,  and  Callirrhoe;  others  are 
intermittent  as  the  Fuarr,  the  source  of  the  Sab- 
batic River,  and  the  Menbej,  east  of  Beit  Jenn,  Mt. 
Hermon  {Land  aiul  Book,  i.  405).  The  fountain  at 
Nazareth  has  a  traditional  antiquity  and  import- 
ance. Wealthy  men  in  the  East  build  handsome 
structures  over  fountains  for  their  preservation, 
and  the  benefit  of  residents  and  travelers. 

FOUNTAIN-GATE.    Jerusalem  (Neh.  xii.  37). 

FOWL  (Heb.  barburim  (IK.  \v.23)  fatted  fowl). 
Barn-door  fowl,  or  geese.  The  Egyptian  paintings 
represent  catching,  keeping,  feeding,  killing,  salt- 
ing, cooking,  and  eating  of  fowl. 

FOX  (Heb.  SHUAL,  to  dig  through).  The  Arab 
name  for  jackal  is  sJuImI,  but  a  little  different 
from  the  Hebrew  shual,  and  it  is  evident  from 
the  habits  of  the  animal  referred  to  that  tlie  jackal 
is  meant.  They  are  plenty  now  in  Palestine,  and 
are  night-prowlers,  lying  concealed  in  the  day-time, 
in  caves,  holes,  or  among  the  ruins.  They  go  in 
packs  of  hundreds.  They  eat  any  carcase  of  either 
animal  or  man  (Ps.  Ixiii.  9,  10).  The  Orientals 
never  spare  pain  in  men  or  animals,  and  Samson, 
who  was  revengeful  and  unscrupulous,  tied  a  fire- 
brand between  two  jackals  and  sent  them  into  the 
dry  wheat-fields  of  the  Philistines,  destroying  vast

To  terrify.    Not 


fields  probably.  (See  Fire.  )  Jackals  are  very  fond 
of  grapes  (Matt.  viii.  20;  Luke  ix.  58). 

FKANK'INCENSE  (Ileb.  lebonah).  Resin  of 
the  BoKwdlia  tiuy,  which  grows  40  feet  high  in  In- 
dia and  Arabia  Felix.  It  has  a  balsamic  smell, 
and  burns  with  a  white  flame  and  fragrant  odor. 
Its  burning  was  symbolical  of  the  holiness  of  Je- 
hovah (1  Chr.  ix.  29)  and  of  prayer  (Ps.  cxli.  2; 
Luke  i.  10;  Rev.  viii.  3). 

FRAY  (Deut.  xxviii.  26,  etc.) 
used  now. 

FREEDOM.    Citizen.    Slave. 

FREE-WILL  OFFERING  (Lev.  xxii.  18).  Free 
gifts.    Sacrifice. 

FRET  (Lev.  xiii.  55).  A  plague  spot  in  a  leprous 
garment.

sels or  fringes  (Num.  xv.  38).  They  are  shown  on 
many  ancient  figures.  Assyria;  Dress;  Em- 
broidery. 

FROG  (ITeb.  zephardea,  marsh-leaper) .  Men- 
tioned but  three  or  four  times  in  tlie  Bible  (always 
of  the  plague),  but  verv  common  in  Palestine  and 
Egypt  (Ex.  viii.  2-14;  Ps.  Ixxviii.  45;  cv.  30;  Wis- 
dom xix.  10) .  It  is  believed  that  the  frogs  of  the 
plague  were  the  edible  variety.'  Their  noise  is 
heard  from  one  end  of  the  land  to  the  other  (L.  & 
B.  i.  368).  In  Egypt  they  were  regarded  as  a  type 
of  the  Creator  (Pthah). 

FRONT 'LET  (Heb.  totaphoth).  Something 
bound  on  the  forehead,  "between  the  eyes,"  and 
as  a  sign  or  token  in  the  hand  (a  ring?).  Origi- 
nally the  meaning  of  the  law  or  direction  was  to 
keep  in  memory,  as  in  Prov.  vi.  21:  "Bind  them  on 
the  heart,  and  tie  them  on  the  neck."  But  after 
the  return  from  captivity  the  Jews  made  the  law 
literal,  and  wrote  it  out  (Ex.  xiii.  2-10, 11-16;  Deut. 
vi.  5-9;  xi.  13-21)  on  bits  of  i^archment,  called 
Phylacteries,  which  were  put  in  little  cases  of 
leather  (metal  in  our  day),  and  tied  on  the  fore- 
head and  left  arm.  The  ribbon  for  tying  them 
was  colored  purple  by  the  Pharisees,  and  made 
showy  and  broad  (Mark  vii.  3,  4),  and  were 
worn  by  all  Jews  except  Karaites,  women  and 
slaves.  The  Rabbis  made  many  rules  about  their 
uses.  They  were  not  worn  on  the  Sabbath,  be- 
cause the  Sabbath  was  itself  a  sign;  the  person 
reading  them  in  the  morning  must  stand;  in  the 
evening  he  may  sit;  the  color  of  the  thread  might 
be  changed,  to  red  in  times  of  persecution;  both 
hands  must  be  used  in  writing  them;  the  parch- 
ment must  not  have  a  hole  in  it;  only  one  blot 
or  error  was  permitted ;  a  person  wearing  them 
must  keep  six  feet  off  from  a  cemetery— and  many 
others.  They  were  a  means  of  religious  vanity, 
hypocrisy  and  display,  and  were  so  denounced  by 
Jesus.  The  Rabbis  said  (by  a  kind  of  pious 
fraud)  that  God  wore  them,  arguing  from  Is. 
xlix.  16;  Ixii.  8;  Deut.  xxxiii.  2.  They  were 
a  kind  of  amulet,  such  as  the  modern  Arabs 
use.    Amulet. 

FROST  (^Heb.  hanamal,  hail-stones,  Ps. 
Ixxviii.  47);  KERACH,  ice  (Gen.  xxxi.  40); 
KEPHOR,  hoar-frost  (Ex.  xvi.  40).  There  is 
a  great  difference  between  the  temperature 
of  the  day  and  night  in  the  East.    Climate. 

FRUIT  (Heb.  peri,  fruit  in  general;  kayits, 
summer  fruits).     Their  great  variety  and 
excellence  would  fill  a  volume. 
FRYING-PAN.    Bread. 
FUEL.    Dung. 

FULLER.  Business  of  cleaning  and  whitening 
cloth.  It  was  carried  on  outside  the  city  of  Jeru- 
salem, where  was  the  Fuller's  Field,  mentioned 
three  times  in  the  Bible  (2  K.  viii.  17;  Is.  vii.  3; 
xxxvi.  2),  so  close,  that  one  speaking  in  the  field 
could  be  heard  by  one  standing  on  the  city  wall. 
Perhaps  near  the  pool  of  Gihon,  or  it  might  have 


been  at  En  Rogel.  Rabshakeh  and  his  great  host 
must  have  come  on  the  north  side. 

FUNERAL.  Burial.  See  cuts  on  pages  7  and  110. 

FURLONG.  The  stadium ;  Roman,  201  -^^^  yards; 
English,  220  yards  (Luke  xxiv.  13). 

FURNACE.  Several  kinds  are  mentioned:  1. 
takner,  oven  (Gen.  xv.  17);  kibshan,  lime-kiln 
(Gen.  xix.  28) ;  kur,  furnace  for  smelting  metals; 
ATTVM,  furnace  (Dan.  iii.  6);  Gr.  kaminos,  baker's 
oven  (Matt.  xiii.  42). 


FUR'NITURE  (Heb.  keli,  apparatus,  Ex.  xxxi. 
7).  The  furniture  of  Eastern  dweUings  is  very 
simple.  Many  articles  deemed  necessary  with  us 
would  find  no  place  there.— 2.  Heb.  kar,  a  camel's 
saddle  and  its  canopy  (Gen.  xxxi.  34).

shrubs.  The  climate  is  fine  and  soil  fertile,  afford- 
ing the  best  pasturage.  At  one  time  the  tribe  pos- 
sessed the  land  as  far  east  as  Salcah  (1  Chr.  v.  11,

GAR-SAHADUTHA. 

GALGALA  (1  Mace.  ix.  2).    Magdala? 

GALILE'AN.    Native  of  Galilee  (Mark  xiv.  70). 

GALILEE  (galil,  a  circle).  At  first  applied  to  a 
small  district  about  Kedesh,  on  the  N.  W.  shore  of 
the  Sea  of  Galilee  (Is.  ix.  1).  Afterward,  during 
the  Roman  rule,  the  name  of  the  whole  country 
north  of  the  Kishon  river  and  Mount  Gilboa,  to  the 
Leontes  and  Ilermon,  from  the  Jordan  to  the  sea 
(Josephus  Life,  12,  Wars,  iii.).  Divided  into  Up- 
per, as  far  as  the  N".  W.  angle  of  the  Sea  of  Gali- 
lee, and  Lower,  as  far  south  as  Ginea  (Jenin),  in- 
cluding the  great  plain  of  Esdraelon.  The  hills 
are  now  wooded,  with  gentle  slopes,  and  are  fruit- 
ful of  all  that  man  uses,  and  luxuriant  in  flowers 
of  every  variety  (Deut.  xxxiii.  18;  Gen.  xlix.  20). 
The  chief  towns  were  Capernaum,  Kedesh,  Beth- 
saida,  Tiberias,  Nazareth,  Cana,  besides  many 
other  smaller,  the  ruins  of  which  are  scattered  over 
nearly  every  hill-top  or  hill-side.  Here  was  the 
scene  of  the  greater  part  of  the  works  and  life  of 
Jesus,  which  are  the  subject  of  the  first  three  Gos-

GAL'LIO,  JUNmS  ANNJEUS.  Elder  brother  of  the 
philosopher  Seneca,  who  dedicated  to  him  his 
treatise  De  Vita  Beta,  and  in  another  work  de- 
scribes him  as  a  man  universally  loved,  and  who 
especially  abhorred  flattery.  He  was  the  proconsul 
of  Achaia,  and  by  his  prudent  course  much  assisted 
Paul  (Acts  xviii.  12-17).  He  was  a  victim  to  Nero's 
cruelty. 

GAMA'LA  {camel).  Built  on  a  hill,  near  the

Hillel,  and  son  of  Rabbi  Simeon,  and  president  of 
the  Sanhedrin  during  the  time  of  Tiberius,  Calig- 
ula, and  Claudius.  He  lived  18  years  after  the  de- 
struction of  Jerusalem. 

GAMES.  The  ancient  (and  modern)  Orientals 
are  represented  as  very  fond  of  games  of  many 
kinds,  private  and  public,  frequently  mentioned  in 
Scripture.  The  sculptures  and  paintings  of  an- 
tiquity exhibit  these  in  every  variety.    Job  alludes 


GAD'AEA.  Five  miles  southeast  of  the  Sea 
of  Galilee,  three  miles  from  the  river  Hieromax. 
There  were  warm  springs  near  the  river,  called 
Amatha.  Josephus  says  it  was  a  Greek  city,  and 
the  capital  of  Persea  (Jos.  B.  J.  iv.  7,  §  3;  Mark  v. 
1;  Luke  viii.  26-37).  Here  the  Lord  healed  the  de- 
moniacs (Matt.  viii.  28-34;  Mark  v.  1-21;  Luke  viii. 
26-40).  The  most  interesting  ruins  at  CJadara  are 
the  tombs,  which  are  very  numerous  in  the  cliffs 
around  the  city,  cut  in  the  solid  rock,  being  rooms 
ten  to  twenty  feet  square,  and  some  larger,  with 
small  recesses  out  of  them  for  bodies,  the  doors 
being  stone,  turning  on  stone  hinges.  The  space 
over  which  the  ruins  are  scattered  is  about  two 
miles,  on  a  narrow,  high  ridge,  sloping  east,  an- 
ciently walled  all  around.  There  was  a  straight 
street  from  end  to  end,  with  a  colonade  on  each 
side,  and  two  very  large  theatres,  now  in  ruins. 
Not  a  house  or  a  column  is  standing.

GAZA 


to  one  in  xli,  5,  and  Jeremiah  in  xxx.  19,  and  Jesus, 
in  Matt.  xi.  16.  Music,  dancing,  and  song  WLTe 
always  enjoyed  on  festive  occasions  (Ps.  xxx.  11; 
Lulie  XV.  25).  Armed  men  jousted  (2  Sam.  ii.  14) ; 
tliey  played  with  single-stick;  with  the  ccstus; 
wrestled;  quoits;  at  leaping;  running;  and  all 
Grecian  games.  The  rewards  in  the  Grecian 
games  were  of  several  kinds :  A  chaplet  of  wild 
olive;  palm  branches;  and  the  honors  freely  given 
him  by  his  friends  and  fellow-citizens,  of  sacrifices 
to  the  gods,  and  poems  in  his  praise,  exemption 
from  public  service,  and  a  pension.  There  were 
four  more  celebrated:  Olympic,  Pjlhian,  Nemean, 
and  Isthmian,  among  the  Greeks,  in  which  the 
most  eminent  men  contended  for  the  prizes,  which 
fact  made  them  a  fitting  illustration  of  the  Chris- 
tian hfe.  Temperance  in  eating  and  drinking  was 
the  rule,  and  severe  exercise  at  stated  times.  The 
Romans  added  brutality  and  cruelty,  and  men  were 
required  to  fiijht  each  other,  and  wild  beasts  also. 
Paul  witnessed  the  games,  in  various  cities  where 
he  preached,  and  is  the  only  one  in  the  N.  T.  who 
makes  use  of  them  as  illustrations  of  the  strife  for 
good  against  evil  in  the  theatre  of  life. 

GAM'MADINE  (Ez.  xxyii.  11).  Hired  soldiers. 
Mercenaries. 

GA'MUL  (wea7ud).  A  priest  (1  Chr.  xxiv.  17),

GAR'DEN  (Heb.  GAK,  ginnah;  Gr,  Jceros).  The 
garden  was  essential  in  Egypt,  They  made  con- 
stant and  general  use  of  fruits  and  flowers  at  the 
table,  which  required  careful  cultivation.  Their 
residences  were  surrounded  with  gardens,  laid  out 
with  skilful  care,  vdth  ornamental  beds  of  curious 
devices,  arbors  of  trelUs-work,  basins  and  rills  of 
water  with  fish,  and  paved  walks.  The  Israelites 
remembered  the  gardens  when  they  were  in  the 
desert,  and  did  not  neglect  them  wiien  in  Palestine. 
Everywhere  we  find  traces  of  such  cultivation:  in 
terraces,  cisterns  for  water,  springs  cared  for,  and 
names  of  places  compounded  with  Gan  or  Gen 
(Engannim,  Gennesaret).  The  garden  was  often 
away  from  the  village  or  house  a  half  a  mile  per- 
haps, in  some  favored  spot  for  water  and  good  soil. 
The  summer-house  was  decorated  with  handsome 
designs  and  showy  colors.  It  was  a  place  of  retire- 
men^(John  xxviii.  1),  and  also  of  merry-making 
(Is.  h.  3).  They  were  inclosed  with  walls,  hedges, 
and  had  watch-towers;  and  even  the  poorest  a 
booth  to  shelter  the  watchman  (Is.  i.  8;  Mark  xii. 
1;  Job.  xxvii.  18).  A  family  tomb  was  sometimes 
built  in  the  garden  (2  K.  xxi.  18,  26;  John  xix. 
41,  42), 

GASDEN-HOUSE.  Place  where  king  Ahaziah  II 
fled  from  Jehu  (2  K,  xix.  27);  the  modern  Jenin

army,  from  Jattir  (2  Sam.  xxiii.  38), 

GA'REB,  THE  HILL.  Near  Jerusalem  ( Jer.  xxxi. 
39).  Now  occupied  by  the  new  and  fine  buildings 
of  the  Russian  mission. 

GAR'LIC  (SHXTii).  A  vegetable,  something  like 
the  onion,  found  in  Egypt  (Num.  xi.  5).  The 
Egyptians  have  always  made  use  of  it  as  a  stimu- 
lant, for  it  quickens  the  circulation. 

GAR'MITE  ibmy),  (1  Chr.  iv.  9).  Keilah,  from 
Gereiu. 

GARNER.    Barn. 

GAR'RISON  (lleb.  MAzzAH,  garrison;  nezib,  a

BAH,  a  pillar  (Ez.  xxvi.  11);  Gr.  <pliourco,  to  keep 
watch  (2  Cor.  xi.  32).  The  garrison  at  Jerusalem 
was  a  citadel,  or  the  tower  of  Antonia  (Acts  xxi, 
34,  37).  Another,  in  Damascus,  was  used  to  pre- 
vent Paul's  escape. 

GA'TAM  (J)umt  valley).    Fourth  son  of  Eliphaz 


(Gen,  xxxvi.  11);   head   of   an   Edomite  tribe. 
Jet/ioDia  is  a  modern  town  in  Arabia. 

GATE  (Ileb.  SHAAK,  gate;  pethah,  ent^'y;  saph, 
threshhold,  door-post;  deleth,  door,  two  leaved  gate; 
dial,  tera,  gate,  door;  Gr.  thura,  pule,  piuon). 
An  entrance  into  a  camp,  a  house,  a  tent,  a  temple, 
a  city,  etc.  "To 
possess  the  gate," 
was  a  term  mean- 
ing power  and 
wealth  (Gen.  xxii. 
17).  It  was  the 
place  of  assembly 
(Prov.  1.  21)  for 
social  (Ps.  Ixix. 
12)  and  legal  pur- 
poses (Ruthiv.  1). 
Daniel  sat  in  the 
gate  of  the  king  of 
Babylon  (iv.  49); 
for  attracting  the 
notice  of  the  king 
(Esth.  ii.  19),  and 
for  marketing  (2 
K.  vii.  1).  The 
gate  was  spoken 
of  as  meaning  the 
city  (Gen.  xiv.  60; 
Ps.  Ixxxvii.  2)  or 

the  people  of  the  city  (2  Sam.  xv.  2) .  There  was 
(and  is)  generally  an  open  place  both  outside  and 
inside  the  gate.  In  such  a  one  the  king  of  Ai 
was  buried  (Josh.  viii.  29),  and  Jeremiah  the  pro- 
phet was  set  in  the  stocks  (Jer.  xx.  2), 

The  Assyrian  palaces  furnish  many  illustrations 
of  Scripture,  and  especially  in  the  architecture, 
paintings  and  sculptures  of  the  gates.  They  were 
lofty,  magnificent,  built  for  the  ages,  guarded  by 
synibolic  figures,  never  used  inside  of  buildings, 
who  present  to  the  visitor  the  fir-cone,  a  symbol  of 
life.  In  the  floor  of  the  door-way  are  usually 
found  concealed  curious,  small  images  of  baked 
clay,  with  animal  heads  on  human  (or  Mon)  bodies 
and  bull's  legs  and  tail,  which  were  the  guar- 
dian divinities  of  the  gate  (teraphim,  Arabic 
tarf,  boundary). 


RUINED  GRANARY.      6ATH. 


GATH  (wiTie-press).  One  of  the  five  royal  cities 
of  Philistia,  The  residence  of  the  Anakim  giants 
(Josh.  xi.  22),  The  ark  was  carried  there  by  the 
Philistines  (1  Sam.  v.).  David  was  in  danger  of 
his  life  at  Gath,  and  saved  it  by  a  ruse  of  madness 
(ib.  xxi.  10-15),  Many  of  the  people  were  at- 
tached to  David  all  his  life  (2  Sam.  vi.  10,  xv.  18). 
The  site  has  been  lost  for  ages,  and  is  now  located 
by  Robinson  at  Deir  Dubban;  by  Thomson  at  Beit

1).  Samson  carried  off  its  gates  (xvi.  1-31).  Gaza 
is  mentioned  in  the  inscriptions  at  Nineveh  (^Lay- 
ard,  p.  144).  The  Ethiopian  was  baptized  by 
Philip  on  the  way  to  Gaza.  There  are  deep  wells 
of  good  water,  orchards  of  varieties  of  fruit,  and 
palm  trees  and  olive  groves.  Settled  by  Avim  or 
Hivites,  who  were  driven  out  by  the  Caphtorim 
from  Egypt.  Became  one  of  the  five  royal  Philis- 
tine cities,  the  last  home  of  the  giant  Anakim 
(Josh.  xi.  22).  Taken  by  Alexander  the  Great, 
who  was  wounded  there  ( Arrian  ii.  26) .  A  church

quays,  etc.  The  castle  is  one  of  the  best  specimens 
of  ancient  masonry,  having  stones  20  feet  long  and 
beveled.  The  columns  and  walls,  and  their  great 
extent  especially,  prove  the  splendor  and  import- 
ance of  the  city  (Ez.  xxvii.  9;  Joshua  xiii.  5). 
Workers  in  stone  from  G.  were  employed  on  Solo-

lost,  if  it  is  not  the  site  between  Tiberias  and  the 
hot  baths  (Josh.  xi.  2;  Deut.  iii.  17).  Most  of  the 
Ufe  of  Jesus  was  passed  near  this  lake.  Caper- 
naum was  on  its  shore,  "  His  own  city  "  (Matt.  iv. 
13).  He  called  his  first  disciples  from  among  its 
fishermen  (Luke  v.).  Near  it  were  spoken  many 
of  his  parables,  the  Sermon  on  the  Mount,  and  a 
number  of  the  miracles  were  performed.  Tlieife

shore  is  2,000  feet  high,  bare  of  trees,  and  cut 
down  by  deep  ravines,  quite  flat  and  uniform  on 
the  summits.  The  W.  banks  are  similar,  but  not 
so  regular  in  hight,  and  being  opened  for  the  plain 
of  G.  The  whole  basin  has  a  scathed,  volcanic 
look.  The  climate  is  quite  tropical.  Palms  and 
all  kinds  of  trees  and  vegetables  grow  luxuriantly, 
and  indigo  is  cultivated.  The  beach  is  pebbly 
everywhere,  and  is  covered  by  small,  twisted  shells, 
purplish  grey.  Only  one  of  the  9  cities  now  re- 
mains, Tiberias,  almost  in  ruins,  and  even  the  sites 
of  the  others  are  disputed  and  in  doubt.

GE'RAR.  A  very  ancient  city  S.  of  (^aza  (Gen. 
X.  19;  XX.  1;  xxvi.  1).  Near  Kedesh  in  Shur;  peo- 
pled by  pastoral  Philistines.  Isaac  was  born  there 
(xxi.  2,  3),  and  found  it  a  very  fertile  land  (xxvi. 
12),  and  grew  so  rich  that  the  Philistines  envied 
him  (14). 


GER'ASA.  In  Matt.  viii.  28,  mistaken  for  Gada- 
renes.  On  the  E.  border  of  Persea  (Jos.  Wars  iii. 
3,  §  3),  in  the  Mts.  of  Gilead,  20  ms.  E.  of  the  Jor- 
dan, 25  N.  of  Kabbath  Anmion,  Philadelphia.  It 
was  once  one  of  the  proudest  cities  of  Syria,  as  its 
abundant  ruins  testify.  The  Saracens  have  never 
occupied  it.  Built  in  a  narrow  valley,  on  both  the 
sloping  sides,  6  miles  from  tlu!  Jabbok.  Through 
it  a  small  creek  winds,  fringed  with  many  trees 
and  shrubs.  There  was  a  colonnade  from  end  to 
end  of  the  city,  with  a  circular  forum  at  one  end. 
Hundreds  of  columns  are  still  standing. 

It  was  one  of  the  cities  of  the  Decapolis,  but  is 
not  mentioned  by  name  in  the  Bible.  The  present 
people  are  active  and  prosperous. 

GERGESENES.  People  of  Gergesa  on  the  E.  of 
the  Sea  of  Galilee  (Matt.  viii.  28).    Gadarenes.

The  law  was  given  on  Mt.  Sinai,  and  the  blessing 
and  cursing  on  the  two  mountains  Ebal  and  Geriz- 
im.  (See  Ebal).  Jotham  stood  on  G.  when  he 
denounced  Abimelech  (Judg.  ix.).  When  Alexan- 
der took  Palestine  he  gave  Sanballat  (the  Persian 
governor  under  Darius)  permission  to  build  a  tem- 
ple on  Mt.  G. ;  and  Manasseh,  brother  of  Jaddua 
the  high  priest  at  Jerusalem,  was  made  high  priest 
at  Shechem,  about  420  B.  C.  This  temple  was  de- 
stroyed by  the  Jews,  129  B.  C.  The  ruins  are  still 
shown.  The  Samaritans  worship  here  yet,  without 
temple  or  altar.  The  view  from  the  summit  is  one 
of  the  finest  in  Palestine,  commanding  the  deep 
blue  of  the  Great  Sea,  snowy  Mt.  Hermon,  purple 
Gilead  and  Moab,  and  the  lovely  green  valley  of 
Mokhna  at  its  foot.

Joab  found  Absalom  in  this  place  (2  Sam.  xiii.  37, 
XV.  8) .  It  is  supposed  to  be  the  district  now  caUed 
El  Lejah. 

GESHTJEI  and  GESHTJEITES.  People  of  Geshur 
(Deut.  ni.  14).— 2.  Ancient  tribe,  in  the  desert 
between  Arabia  and  Pliilistia  (Josh.  xiii.  2). 

GETH'EE  (fear).    Son  of  Aram  (Gen.  x.  23). 

GETHSEM'ANE  (oil-jjress  garden— wine -press, 
GATH,  wine:).  "A  small  farm."  In  the  Kidron 
valley,  on  the  lower  slope  of  Olivet,  850  feet  from 
St.  Stephen's  Gate,  and  800  feet  from  the  closed 
Gate,  at  the  angle  between  the  direct  road  up  Oli- 
vet and  that  leading  to  the  right  around  the  hill 
(both  leading  to  Bethany) .  Tradition  only  locates 
the  "garden"  (John  xviii.  1)  here;  the  "place" 
(Matt.  xxvi.  36;  Mark  xiv.  32)  was  "over  the 
brook  Kidron,  on  Olivet  somewhere,  perhaps 
nearer  Bethany  on  the  road  to  the  right;  or  rather 
away  from  any  road.  From  the  days  of  Eusebius, 
Jerome,  and  Adamnanus,  some  such  place  has 
been  spoken  of  as  "a  place  of  prayer  for  the  faith- 
fiU"  (Jerome),  and  having  a  church  built  on  it. 
The  place  might  have  been  selected  by  the  Em- 
press Helena  (as  many  others  were),  to  represent 
that  mentioned  in  the  Gospels.  It  is  now  walled 
m,  enclosing  eight  very  old  olive-trees,  and  orna- 
mented with  beds  of  flowers.  One  of  the  trees  is 
25  feet  m  girth.  The  city  walls  and  the  top  of  the 
dome  on  the  Great  Mosque  are  in  plain  view.  The 
Tm-ks  have  pleasure-grounds,  or  gardens,  further 
up  the  valley,  where  they  resort  to  enjoy  the  cool 
shade  of  the  olive-trees,  some  of  which  are  quite 


as  large  as  those  in  ' '  Gethsemane. ' '  The  antiquity 
of  these  trees  is  argued  from  the  tax  of  one  medina 
for  each  tree,  which  rate  was  fixed  for  trees  that 
stood  at  the  time  of  the  conquest;  all  those  planted 
since  being  taxed  one-half  their  produce  (Chateau- 
briand) .  This  would  carry  the  date  back  to  A.  D. 
634,  when  Omar  took  Jerusalem;  or,  if  the  tax  was 
decreed  after  the  Turks  took  the  city,  to  A.  D. 
1087.  Pilgrims  pay  the  guide  for  showing  this 
place,  with  others  at  the  Holy  City. 

GEU'EL  (God's  majesty).    Son  of  Machi;  a  spy

horon,  the  west  limit  of  the  tribe  of  Ephraim,  (1 

Chr.  vii.  28).    Horam,  king  of  Gezer,  came  up  to 

help  Lachish,  and  was  killed  by  Joshua  (x.  33).

GIAXTS.  (Heb.NEPHiLiM, 
eephaim).  Persons  of  great 
strength.  The  Nephilim 
were  living  in  Canaan  at 
the  time  of  the  Exodus 
(Num.  xiii.  33).  The  sons 
of  Anak  were  afterwards 
identified  with  the  same 
race,  living  at  Hebron.  The 
Eephaim  were  a  tribe  living 
in  Canaan,  Og  being  a  king 
of  tlie  branch  on  the  east  of 
Jordan  (Deut.  iii.  11).  The 
same  name  was  in  later 
times  given  to  any  large 
and  strong  people.  The 
•  Emim     and     Zamzummim 

were  also  of  the  giants  (ii.  10,  20).  These 
merely  strong  men  gave  way  before  the  skilful, 
and  disappear  from  the  history  of  the  cultivated 
people.  Goliath  and  his  brother  are  the  last  men- 
tioned.

26;  2  Sam.  xxi.  6),  where  he  was  a  farmer.  He 
made  it  his  capital  (xxii.  6).  Seven  of  his  de-

GIBEATH  (Josh,   xviii.  28).  Gib'eathite  (1 

Clir.  xii.  ;{). 

GIBEON  (belonging  to  a  hill).  (Josh.  ix.  3-15). 
One  of  tlie  4  cities  of  the  IIivites,  the  people  who 
made  a  leapue  with  Joshua  by  an  artifice,  and  so 
escaped  the  fate  of  Jericho  and  Ai.  It  was  in  Ben- 
jamin (xviii.  25).  TULEIL  EL  FUL  (hill  of  beans). 
The  contest  of  the  two  parties  of  12,  of  David  and 
Qf  Ishbosheth,  was  by  the  pool  of  Gibeon.  Joab 
killed  Amasa  (2  Sam.  xx.  10)  at  the  great  stone  m 
Gibeon;  and  Joab  himself  fled  to  Gibeon  for  sanc- 
tuary, when  condemned  by  Solomon,  and  was 
killed  by  Benalah  (1  K.  ii.  34). 

GIB'EONITES  (Josh.  ix.  17).  IIivites  who  played 
a  trick  on  Joshua,  savins;  their  lives,  but  accepting 
a  life  of  servitude  (v.  23,  27).  Saul  attempted  their

GIDEO'NI  (cutting  down).  Father  of  Abidan 
(Num.  i.  11). 
GI'DOM.  Near  Rimmon  (Josh.  xx.  45). 
GIFT.  This  is  a  formal  business  in  the  East. 
You  are  compelled  by  custom  to  accept  and  to  re- 
turn a  gift  from  any  person,  or  take  the  conse- 
quences" of  an  insult  by  refusing.  There  are  15 
names  for  gift:  minhah,  is  a  gift  from  one  to  a  su- 
perior (Judg.  iii.  15) ;  masoth,  from  a  king  or  any 
superior  (Esth.  ii.  IS);  nisseth,  is  similar  (2  Sam. 
xiv.  42);  BERACHAH  (blessing),  complimentary; 
SHOCHAD,  bribe ;  mattan,  mattanah,  present 
(Gen.  xxv.  6);  mettath,  false  gift  (Prov.  xxv. 
14);  Greek  doma,  gift  (Matt.  vii.  11);  dorea,  do- 
rema,  doron,  gift  or  offering;  anathema,  devoted; 
charisma,  gift;  charis,  grace;  and  several  others. 
It  was  no  less  an  insult  to  neglect  to  give  a  present 
when  custom  led  one  to  expect  such  a  mark  of  re- 
spect (1  Sam.  x.  27). 

GI'HON.  The  second  river  of  Paradise  (Gen. 
ii.  13). — 2.  Near  Jerusalem,  where  Solomon  was 
anointed  and  proclaimed  king  (1  K.  i.  33,  38,  45). 
The  waters  of  Gihon  were  "stopped"  by  Heze- 
kiah;  that  is,  were  conducted  "straight  down  to 
the  west  side  of  the  city  of  David"  (2  Chr.  xxxii. 
30).    See  Jerusalem. 

GIL' AlAI  (heavy) .  The  son  of  a  priest  at  the  con- 
secration of  the  w-all  of  Jerusalem  (Neh.  xii.  36). 

GIL'BOA  (bubbling  fountain) .  A  mountain  range 
between  the  plain  of  Esdraelon  and  the  Jordan, 
near  which  is  the  city  of  Jezreel  (1  Sam.  xxviii.  4; 
xxix.  1).  Mentioned  only  in  connection  with  ths 
death  of  Saul  and  Jonathan  (xxxi.  1;  2  Sam.  i.  6, 
xxi.  12;  1  Chr.  x.  1,  8).  The  fountain  from  wliicli 
it  was  named  is  at  its  northern  base,  and  was  called 
the  well  of  Harod  (Judg.  vii.  1),  and  the  spring  of 
Jezreel  (I  Sam.  xxix.  1).  The  modern  name  is 
Jebd  Fukuah,  and  it  is  600  feet  high  above  the 
§lain,  and  there  is  on  its  highest  summit  a  village 
and  ruin  called  Oelbiis  by  Eusebius,  and  Wezar  by 
the  .Arabs. 
GIL'EAD  (rugged),  MOUNT,  THE  LAND  OF  (Gen. 


xxxi.  21).    First  known  in  Jacob's  time.    It  next 
appears  when  the  Israelites  were  on  the  march 
from  Egypt,  as  divided  in  two  sections  and  gov- 
erned by  Og  and  Silion.     It  is  rich  in  pastures  and 
forests,  well  watered,  and  the  great  number  of 
ruins  bear  witness  of  a  fornu-r  numerous  popula- 
tion.   It  was  occupied  by  Beuben  and  Gad.    The 
whole  extent,  from  Babbath  Amnion  to  the  Iliero- 
max,  is  one  broad,  elevated  region  or  mountain 
(Deut.   iii.   12).      The   same   elevati(m  is  called 
Bashan,  north  of  that  river.    The  Lord  showed 
Moses,  from  the  top  of  Pisgah,  all  the  land  of 
Gilead  unto  Dan.    Probably  a  popular  phrase,  as 
was  "  from  Dan  to  Beersheba  "  (Jo.sh.  xx.  8).    The 
Gadites  are  supposed  to  have  imitated  the  habits 
of  the  people  they  displaced,  which  are  now  pre- 
served  by  the    Bedawins   in  the   same   district. 
Thus  Jephthah  appears  like  an  Arab  sheikh  of 
our  day  (Judg.  xi.);  and  some  of  David's  captains 
were  trained  there  (1  Chr.  xii.  8,   15).    Ramoth 
Gilead  was  its  chief  city  (1  K.  xxii.  4).    Gilead 
first  fell  before  the  Assyrians  (2  K.  xv.  29).  It  was 
an  asylum  for  refugees  (2  Sam.  ii.  8),  David  fleeing 
there" from  Absalom.    It  is  now  known  south  of 
the  Jabbok  as  Jebel  Mod,  and  north  of  that  river 
as  Jebel  Ajlun,  and  the  capital  is  Es  Salt,  on  the  site 
of  the  ancient  Ramoth  Gilead.    The  whole  coun- 
try is  like  a  fine  park.    Graceful  hills,  rich  vales, 
luxuriant  herbage,  bright  wild-flowers,  noble  for- 
ests, wooded  heights,  and  winding  glens  clothed 
with  tangled  .shrubberv,  open  glades  and  flat  mea- 
dows of  richest  green,  all  so  strongly  in  contrast 
with  the  general  barren  aspect  of  Western  Pales- 
tine.- 

GIL'EADITE,  THE  (Judg.  x.  3) .    A  branch  of  the 
tribe  of  Manasseh. 


BALM  OF  GILEAD. 

GIL'GAL  (circle),  (Josh.  iv.  19).  Near  Jericho; 
the  first  encampment  of  the  Israelites  in  Palestine, 
where  they  set  up  twelve  stones  as  a  memorial  of 
the  pa.ssage  of  the  Jordan.  An  ancient  city  (Deut. 
xi.  30).  It  was  for  centuries  the  ereat  place  of  the 
nation's  assembly  (ix.  6,  x.  6,  43).  The  Taber- 
nacle was  pitched  here  until  it  was  removed  to 
Shiloh  (xviii.  1).  It  was  visited  by  Samuel  and 
Saul  and  David  (1  Sam.  x.  8,  xi.  14,  xiii.  4,  xv.  12, 
xix.  15).    There  was  a  high  place  there  for  idola-

ters  (Hos.  iv.  15;  Amos  iv.  4,  v.  5).  As  prophe- 
sied, the  place  is  utterly  desolated.  It  is  impos- 
sible now  to  find  where  the  city  was.  It  was 
probably  not  far  from  Jericho.— 2.  A  royal  city  of

GLASS  BLOWEKS. 


GLASS.  So  many  specimens  of  ancient  glass  ves- 
sels have  been  found  lately,  there  is  no  longer  any 
doubt  as  to  the  remote  antiquity  of  the  manufac- 
ture of  glass.  It  was  practiced  in  Egypt,  where 
the  ancient  paintings  represent  men  at  work  over 
the  furnaces,  and  in  the  laboraton?  blowing  ves- 
sels of  glass,  at  least  1400  B.  C.  Images,  beads, 
cups,  vases,  bottles,  even  coffins,  and  a  great 
variety  of  viseful  and  ornamental  articles,  were 
made  of  this  material,  which  are  now  shown  in  the 
Museums  at  New  York  and  in  Europe.  The  em- 
peror Hadrian  was  presented  by  an  Egyptian  priest 
with  some  glass  vases,  so  rare  and  excellent  as  to 
be  reserved  for  unusual  occasions  of  display. 
Clear  glass  was  not  valued,  but  colored,  every 
variety  of  tone  and  tint  were  sought  after.  The 
allusions  to  glass  in  the  Bible  are  never  to  a  trans- 
parent substance,  but  to  a  shining,  brilliant,  col- 
ored mass  (Rev.  iv.  4).  But  two  colorless,  trans- 
parent drinking  cups  were  bought  by  Nero,  at  a 
great  price.  Glass  was  not  used  in  windows;  a 
thin  stone,  mica,  or  talc  being  used  until  long  after 


our  era.  Mirrors  (looking-glasses  in  Ex.  xxxviii. 
8)  were  made  of  metal,  not  of  glass.  (Mirror). 
The  Egyptians  (and  other  ancients)  practiced  the 
art  of  grinding,  engraving,  and  inlaying  it  with 
gold  enamel,  and  of  working  elaborate  designs  in 
colors  (as  an  image  of  a  duck  with  the  feathers 
imitated  in  form  and  color)  in  the  midst  of  masses 
of  clear  glass.  Pi'ecious  stones  were  very  success- 
fully imitated  by  colored  glass. 

GLEAN'ING.  CORNER.  The  poor  had  rights  of 
gleaning  fruit  and  grain-fields. 

GLEDE  (RAAH).  Kite.  Probably  the  buzzard. 
(Deut.  xiv.  13). 

GLORY.  The  heart,  soul,  intelligence,  feeling, 
will,  and  so  the  glory  of  a  man  as  a  living,  rational 
being.  Of  God,  it  is  the  manifestation  of  the  divine 
attributes  and  perfections,  or  such  a  visible  efful- 
gence of  light  as  indicates  these  (Ex.  xxxii.  18; 
John  i.  14) .  The  chief  end  of  the  Christian  is,  to 
live  ' '  to  the  glory  of  God. "  "  Give  God  the  gloiy, ' ' 
is  to  confess  the  truth  (Josh.  viii.  19;  John  ix.  24). 
"  My  glory"  is  my  soul,  in  Ps.  xvi.  9,  xxx.  12,  etc. 

GLOSS.  Explanation.  A  glossary  is  a  collection 
of  notes  intended  to  illustrate  or  explain  the  text. 
Many  words  in  the  Scriptures  and  the  Gospels 
were  obscure  to  the  common  people,  and  needed  to 
be  explained,  in  a  theological,  historical,  geograph- 
ical, or  biographical,  allegorical  and  mystical  man- 
ner. Some  glosses  were  written  in  the  margin 
(marginal  notes),  or  between  the  hncs  in  a  smafier 
letter.  These  were  sometimes  transferred  into  the 
body  of  the  text  by  ignorant  or  careless  copyists, 
a  few  instances  being  pointed  out.  Only  the  most 
competent  scholars  can  detect  these  errors.  The 
great  exegetical  thesaurus  of  the  middle  ages  was 
collected  by  Walaf rid  Strabo  from  Augustine,  Am- 
brose, Jerome,  Gregory,  Isidore,  Beda,  Alcuin, 
Rhabanus  Maurus,  and  his  own  writings. 

GNAT  (NAT,  Greek  konops).  Mosquito.  One 
of  the  smallest  of  insects  (Matt,  xxiii.24).  The 
bite  in  the  East  often  produces  sores,  with  fever. 
Sleeping  on  high  ground,  away  from  water  or 
trees,  is  one  way  of  avoiding  them. 

GOAD  (Heb.  malmad,  a  pole  (Judg.  iii.  31); 
DORBAN,  the  spike  point  (1  Sam.  xiii.  12).  Agri- 
culture. 

GOAT  (akko,  yeelim,  aze- 
LAH,  ^cild  goat,  attud,  zafir, 
SAiR,  hairy,  he-goat  (Greek 
satyr),  ez,  she- goat,  or  goat, 
TAiSH,  gedi,  kid,  Gr.  eriphion 
(Matt.  XXV.  33).  Goats  are  an 
important  part  of  pastoral 
wealth  in  the  East.  Neither 
Abraham  or  Job  had  them, 
unless  they  were  included 
in  the  "flocks."  Jacob  tend- 
ed them  (ATTUDiM,  he-goats,  is  rendered  rams 
in  Gen.  xxxi.  10,  12).  The  goat  was  used  in 
sacrifice  as  the  type  of  the  Christ,  and  the  pas- 
chal-lamb could  be  from  the  sheep  or  the  goats 
(Ex.  xii.  5),  as  also  the  burnt-offering  (Lev.  i.  10), 
the  peace-offering  (iii.  12),  the  sin-offering  (iv. 
23),  and  the  trespass-offering  (ver.  6);  the  scape- 
goat (see  Atonement)  was  a  peculiar  type  o1 
Christ  as  the  sin-bearer  (xvi).  Tlie  flesh  of  the 
kid  is  excellent ;  of  the 
old  goat  not  very  palata- 
ble. An  old  Karaite  gloss 
says:  "The  idolaters 
seethed  a  kid  in  its  mo- 
ther's milk,  and  sprinkled 
the  broth  on  their  trees, 
gardens,  etc.,  and  Moses 
therefore  condemned  the 

practice.      Goat  s  milk  is  • 

very  valuable  (Prov.  xxvii.  26, 27),  and  is  milked  at 
the  door  of  customers  every  morning.  The  skin  is 
used  for  bottles.    The  hair  for  cloth,  for  cloaks,  or

tents  (Cant.  i.  5;  Ex.  xxxvi.  14) ,  or  pillows  (1  Sam. 
xix.  13) .  The  Angora  goat  has  the  longest  and 
best  hair  for  cloth.    The  long-eared  Syrian  goat  is 

{)eculiar  to  Syria.  (The  ears  are  sometimes  2  ft. 
ong).  A  delicate  grey  wool  under  the  long  hair  is 
the  valued  stuff  for  cloth,  only  three  ounces  being 
hud  from  each  goat,  but  of  extreme  fineness.    The 

foat  was  a  symool  of  Macedonia.    It  is  used  often 
y  the  prophets,  poets,  and  evangelists,  as  a  symbol 
or  type. 

GOAT,  SCAPE.    Atonement. 

GO  ATH  (to  loio,  as  a  cow).  Goath,  (heifer' a  pool).

GOG  (mountain).  1.  Son  of  Shemaiah,  of  Reu- 
ben (1  Chr.  v.  4).— 2.  Magog. — 3.  In  the  Septua- 
gint  of  Num.  xiv.  9,  Gog  is  instead  of  Agag.  Gog, 
as  used  by  Ezekiel  (xxxviii.  xxxix),  means  the 
head  or  chief  of  Magog;  and  also  John  (Rev.  xx. 
8-10),  making  Gog  and  Magog  persons. 

GO 'LAN  (Deut.  iv.  43).  A  Levitical  city  of 
Bashan  in  Manasseh  (Josh.  xxi.  27).  One  of  the 
cities  of  refuge  (xx.  8).  The  site  is  lost.  The  city 
is  not  mentioned  after  the  time  of  Joshua  in  the 
Scriptures,  but  the  city  and  the  district  of  the  same 
name  is  often  mentioned  by  Josephus.  Gamala 
(El  Husn),  on  the  east  shore  of  the  Sea  of  Gali- 
lee, was  in  the  district  (B.  J.  iv.  i.  1).  Its  princi- 
pal cities  were  Golan,  Hippos,  Gamala,  Julias  or 
Bethsaida,  Seleucia,  and  Sogane  (Josephus),  and 
about  121  others,  nearly  all  of  which  are  unknown. 
The  country  is  high  (2500  feet),  flat,  and  fertile, 
well  watered,  witn  good  pasture.  This  is  the 
MiSHOR  of  1  K.  XX.  23,  25,  where  the  Syrians  were 
defeated  near  Aphek  (now  called  Fik).  The  low, 
rounded  hills,  called  Tells,  extending  south  from 
Hermon  for  about  20  miles,  are  partly  covered  with 
forests  or  groves  of  oak  and  terebinth.  The  wand- 
ering Bedawins  (Anazeh)  visit  the  Jaulan  every 
year  in  May,  with  their  flocks  and  herds. 

GOLD  (Heb.  zahab;  Gr.  chrusion,  chrusos). 
Gold  has  been  known  from  the  earliest  times,  and 
seems  to  have  been  very  abundant  among  the 
ancients.  It  was  a  representative  of  wealth,  and 
much  used  for  ornaments  and  for  the  decoration 
and  utensils  of  public  buildings.  Coined  money  of 
gold  is  not  mentioned  very  early.    See  Money. 

GOLDSMITH.  Alluded  to  in  Prov.  xvii.  3;  Is. 
xlvi.  6;  Judg.  xvii.  4;  Neh.  iii.  8,  etc. 

GOL'GOTHA  (a  skull),  (Matt,  xxvii.  33,  etc.). 
"Where  Jesus  was  crucified,  outside  of  the  city  gate 
(Heb.  xiii.  12),  but  near  the  city  (John  xix.  20), 
and  a  road  leading  from  the  country,  where  there 
were  passers-by  {Matt,  xxvii.  39);  and  there  was 
a  garden  or  orchard  at  the  place  (Mark  xv.  46). 
The  place  is  not  mentioned  again  until  A.  D.  355, 
when  a  church  was  built  to  honor  the  spot. 

The  city  at  that  time  had  a  wall  about  Zion,  and 
another  about  Acra.  Beyond  these,  to  the  north, 
the  suburbs  were  enclosed  by  another  wall  by 
Agrippa.  This  seems  to  leave  no  place  for  the  site 
on  that  side,  and  therefore  denies  the  claim  of  the 
present  Church  of  the  Holy  Sepulchre,  in  the 
centre  of  the  modern  city.  Another  theory  places 
the  site  on  Mt.  Moriah,  where  now  stands  the 
great  mosque  called  the  Dome  of  the  Rock,  which 
IS  claimed  to  be  the  real  church  built  by  Constan- 
tine.  There  is  a  cave  in  a  rock  under  this  build- 
ing, which  is  claimed  to  be  the  tomb;  and  also  that 
it  was  Araunah's  threshing-flooi:.  Another  theory 
is,  that  the  site  was  not  far  from  St.  Stephen's  gate. 


Wm.  C.  Prime  has  discovered  (1871)  a  wall 
which  he  thinks  is  a  part  of  the  ancient  2d  wall  so 
long  in  question,  and  found  it  in  the  right  position 
and  direction  to  exclude  the  Holy  Sepulchre 
Church,  and  so  arguing  lor  that  as  the  site  which 
was  accepted  by  Constantine  (or  Helena)  as  the 
true  one.    Jerusalem. 

GOLI'ATH  (exile)  A  giant  of  Gath,  who  defied 
the  armies  of  Israel,  "morning  and  evening  for 
forty  days,"  and  whose  defeat  (1  Sam.  xvii.)  threw 
such  glory  around  the  youthful  career  of  David. 

GO'MER  (Gen.  x.  2,  3;  Ezek.  xxxviii.  6).  Eldest 
son  of  Japheth.  Progenitor  of  the  Cimmerians, 
whose  traces  are  found  in  the  Cimmerian  Bospo- 
rus, C.  Isthmus,  Mt.  Cimmeriun,  Cimmeria,  and 
the  C.  walls  (Herodotus,  iv.  12,  45,  100),  and  also 
in  the  modern  name  Crimea.  The  Cynu-i  of  Wales, 
Cambria,  and  Cumberland  in  England  are  assigned 
to  the  same  origin. 


GOMOR'RAH  (submersion).  One  of  the  6  cities 
of  the  plain  or  vale  of  Siddim,  whose  kings  joined 
battle  against  four  kings  (Chedorlaomer  and  his 
allies.  Gen.  xiv.  2-8),  when  Abram  came  to  the 
rescue.  Four  of  them  were  destroyed,  leaving 
only  Zoar  or  Bela,  which  was  spared  at  Lot's  re- 
quest (xix.  23-29).  Their  fate  is  alluded  to  by  the 
prophets  as  a  warninsr  to  Israel  (Deut.  xxix.  23;  Is. 
xiii.  19);  to  Edom  (Jer.  xhx.  18;  1.  40),  to  Moab 
(Zeph.  ii.  9);  and  again  to  Israel  by  Amos  (iv.  11); 
and  by  Peter  (2  Pet.  ii.  6);  and  by  Jude  (verses 
4-7),  as  a  warning  to  those  who  should  "deny 
Christ." 

The  site  of  these  cities  is  a  question  that  it  has 
been  impossible  to  solve.  They  were  said  to  be  in 
the  vale  of  Siddim,  which  became  (is)  the  Salt  Sea 
(Gen.  xiv.  3),  or  sea  of  the  plain  (Josh.  xii.  3). 
Josephus  says  the  region  was  not  submerged  (B. 
J.  iv.  8,  4),  out  remained  visible,  and  parched.  It 
is  now  kno^vn  that  the  Dead  Sea  was  a  lake  from 
the  creation,  being  a  natural  formation  which  has 
been  undisturbed,  not  even  by  a  volcano,  and  the 
water  being  very  deep  (500  to  2,300  feet),  leaves  no 
place  for  sites  of  cities;  and  although  the  south  bog 
(below  Lisan)  is  shallow  (3  to  12  feet),  its  bed  has 
been  elevated  by  the  rivers  which  flow  north  from 
the  Arabah.  Not  one  of  the  cities  has  ever  been 
found,  except  it  may  be  Zoar.  Gomorrha  in  the 
Aiiocrypha. 

GO'PHER  (pitch).  A  hard,  strong  tree,  from  the 
wood  of  which  Noah's  ark  was  made  (Gen.  vi. 
14).    Cypress  or  pine.

which  are  found  at  the  foot  of  Mt.  Ida.  Paid  may

GO'SHEN.  That  part  of  Egypt,  east  of  the 
Delta,  near  the  way  of  the  land  of  the  Philistines 
(Ex.  xiii.  17),  where  there  was  pasture-land,  suited 
to  the  habits  of  Joseph's  brethren.  The  only 
limits  that  can  be  indicated  from  the  ancient  ac- 
counts are  the  present  Wadi/  El  Tumeylat,  and  the 
desert  lakes,  Temsah  and  Bitter  Lakes.  This  region 
is  still  very  productive  wherever  it  is  watered, 
either  from  the  Nile  or  from  wells  (Gen.  xlv.  10, 
xlvi.  28,  xlvii.  27,  1.  8;  Ex.  viii.  22,  ix.  26).  The 
plagues  of  Egypt  did  not  effect  this  land.  The  soil 
is  capable  of  tillage  to  an  indefinite  extent.

GRE'CIAN,  Believing  Greeks  from  Greece  (Acts 
vi.  1,  etc. ) .  Also  such  Jews  as  had  been  born  in 
other  lands,  as  well  as  in  Palestine,  but  who  had 
been  educated  abroad. 

GREECE  (Greek  Hellas;  Heb.  javan).  Greece 
included  the  four  provinces  of  Macedonia,  Epirus, 
Achaia  (Hellas)  and  Peloponnesus  (Morea).  Gen- 
erally only  Hellas  and  Peloponnesus  are  meant. 
The  grand  features  are  mountain  and  sea,  which 
exerted  a  strong  influence  on  the  charac- 
ter of  the  people,  as  appears  in  their 
IC-  poetry,  religion,  and  history.  The  climate 
f!fc=-  is  very  temperate,  the  air  salubrious,  and 
"  .  the  soil  fertile.  Its  history  extends  back 
to  B.  C.  776,  in  authentic  records,  and  be- 
yond that  in  traditions  and  myths,  such 
as  that  of  ^gialus,  who  founded  Sicyon 
B.  C.  2089,  and  of  Uranus,  who  settled 
-  there  B.  C.  2042.  The  Greeks  said  they 
received  from  Asia  Minor,  Phoenicia,  and 
Egypt  letters  and  laws,  and  certain  tenets 
in  religion.  The  Egyptian  Inachus  found- 
ed Argos  B.  C.  1856,  and  Cecrops  led  a 
colony  300  years  earlier  to  Attica,  carry- 
ing with  him  the  worship  of  the  goddess 
Neith  (Athense).  The  Phoenician  Cad- 
mus founded  Thebes  in  Bceotia,  and  taught 
the  Greeks  letters.  (See  Moabite  Stone.  ) 
The  Phrygian  Pelops  took  possession  of 
the  south,  B.  C.  1283,  naming  it  after  him- 
•"''■ —  self.  The  famous  expedition  of  Jason  and 
the  Argonauts  in  search  of  the  golden 
fleece,  is  dated  B.  C.  1263,  and  the  siege 
of  Troy,  1193.  From  the  First  Olympiad, 
B.  C.  776,  to  B.  C.  300,  Greece  was  a 
leader  power  in  politics  and  religion.  It 
is  chiefly  from  Alexander's  time  dovra, 
_-=  that  the  Bible  has  to  do  with  Greece. 
^^  First  known  to  the  Jews  in  the  slave- 
.  ~  market  of  Tyre,  where  the  prophet  Joel 

charges  the  Tyrians  with  selling  Hebrew 
children  to  the  Grecians  (Joel  iii.  6),  B.  C. 
800;  andEzekiel  says,  "  traded  the  persons 
of  men  and  vessels  of  brass  in  thy  market" 
(Ez.  xxvii.  13).  Greek  slaves  were  highly  valued 
in  all  the  East  (Bochart  i.,  c.  iii.  175).  Daniel 
mentions  Greece  (viii.  21,  etc.)  in  his  sketch  of 
Alexander  and  his  successors.  Alexander  visited 
Jerusalem,  and  respected  its  religion  (Ant.  xi.  8, 
3).  The  Lacedaemonians  sent  an  embassy  and  a 
letter  to  the  Jews,  B.  C.  300  (Ant.  xii.  4,  10),  when 
king  Areus  claims  kinship  for  his  people  with  the 
Jews.  Paul  visited  Greece  (Acts  xx.  2),  staying 
there  three  months.  The  Greeks,  and  their  lan- 
guage, were  so  influential  in  Paul's  time  that  the 
name  Greek  stands  in  the  N.  T.  as  Gentile  does  in 
the  O.  T.  Their  influence  on  the  spread  of  the 
Gospel  by  a  peculiar  preparation  of  the  mind  for 
the  Gospel  teachings  was  very  great,  in  quickening 
thought  and  destroying  indifference  to  religion. 
(See'GosPELS  in  the  History).  The  arts  of  war, 
and  the  fine-arts  of  peace  were  carried  to  a  great 
perfection.  Their  Asiatic  empire  spread  their  in- 
stitutions, and  filled  half  of  Asia  Minor  with  tem- 
ples, theatres,  aqueducts,  and  well-built  cities.  The 
Church  did  not  flourish  in  Athens,  but  was  more 
eminent  in  Corinth.

god  Moloch  (2  Chr.  xxxiii.  6),  at  a  spot  called  To- 
plieth  (Is.  XXX.  33),  and  a  type  of  torment  in  the 
spirit  world.  The  Jews  held  a  behef  in  a  condition 
of  the  souls  after  death,  in  sheol,  in  reward  or  in 
punishment,  and  this  they  thought  was  in  the 
bowels  of  the  earth.  Hades  was  the  place  (or 
condition)  where  the  soul  of  Jesus  went,  and  it 
was  not  Hell  in  the  modern  sense  of  that  term— 
the  place  of  the  damned— but  rather  Abraham's 
bosom,  or  Paradise.  There  will  be  no  fire,  or  brim- 
stone, or  gnawing  worm,  in  hell,  any  more  than

streets,  rivers,  etc.,  in  heaven;  these  are  only  ideas 
of  certain  conditions  of  character  in  each  case 
(Matt,  xxiii.  15;  Luke  xii.  47,  48).  The  duration, 
so  far  as  each  soul  is  concerned  is  limited,  and 
spiritual  evil,  sin  and  death  and  hell  will  be  de- 
stroyed (Rev.  XX.),  but  as  the  human  race  will  be 
perpetual,  always  renewing  by  birth,  always  end- 
ing by  death,  so  will  hades  be  eternal;  so  long  as 
there  are  living  men  to  die  there  will  be  an  under- 
world to  receive  the  dead. 

HA'DID  (sharp),  (Ez.  ii.  33;  Neh.  vii.  37,  xi.

Mother  of  Ishmael.  The  Hagarites  settled  in  Pa- 
ran  (Gen.  xxi.  21;  Gal.  iv.  22).  They  are  men- 
tioned in  1  Chr.  xi.  38,  where  Mibhar,  a  Hagar- 
ite,  is  one  of  David's  captains.  Jaziz,  a  Hagarite, 
had  charge  of  David's  flocks,  and  an  Lshmaelite  of 
his  camels,  because  they  had  experience  in  the  care 
of  such  animals  (1  Chr.  xxvii.  31).  The  Hagar- 
ites occupied  the  country  south  of  Palestine,  from 
the  sea  to  the  Euphrates,  as  the  Bedawins  do  now. 


Hejer  is  the  capital  of  a  district  in  the  province  of

30). 

HAG'GITH  (festive).  Mother  of  Adonijah  (2 
Sam.  iii.  4). 

tiAIL.  Was  one  of  the  plagues  of  Egypt.  Hail  is 
more  common  than  snow  in  the  hill  country  of 
Palestine  (Ps.  cxlviii.  8).  God  smote  the  Amorites 
with  "hail-stones"  (Josh.  x.  11).    Rain. 

HAIR.  The  Egyptians  were  very  uniform  in  their 
habits  of  dressing  the  hair.  Herodotus  says  that 
they  let  their  hair  and  beard  grow  only  in  mourn- 
ing. The  priests,  who  were  to  be  clean  to  the  high- 
est possible  degree,  had  to  shave  their  whole  bodies 
every  third  day.  Other  men  shaved  the  head 
only— or  the  beard  also.  The  women  wore  their 
hair  natural,  but  braided,  and  dressed  with  strings 
of  silk  with  ornaments.  The  Assyrian  men  wore 
the  hair  combed  and  curled,  falling  quite  low  about 
the  neck;  wearing  the  whiskers  curled  also. 
Among  the  Greeks  and  Romans,  the  fashion  of 
wearing  the  hair  passed  through  many  changes. 
One  style  is  shown  on  p.  76.  The  Hebrews  cut 
the  men's  hair  quite  short,  almost  to  the  ears  (Ez. 
xUv.  20),  and  to  keep  the  beard  a  proper  length  by 
trimming  it,  but  not  to  shave  either  head  or  heard. 
The  Nazarite  was  an  exception,  who  let  both  hair 
and  beard  grow  uncut  or  uncombed. 

HAX'KATAN  (little).  Father  of  Johanan,  who 
was  a  chief,  and  returned  with  Ezra  from  Babylon

HAM  {warm),  (Egyptian  cTiem,  dark).  One  of 
the  sons  of  Noah  ((ien.  vi.  10),  perhaps  the  third, 
if  Japheth  was  the  elder  brother  (x.  21).  Settled 
in  Africa  (Ps.  Ixxviii.  51,  cv.  23,  cvi.  22),  and  also 
sent  many  branches  into  Asia  (Canaanites).  There 
is  no  ancient  name  so  well  preserved  and  located. 
Ham  is  ich'ntitied  with  Jupiter  Ammon,  and  also 
Zeus,  because  both  words  are  derived  from  a  root 
meaning  hot,  fervent,  or  sunburnt.  For  the  last 
3000  years  the  world  has  been  mainly  indebted  for 
its  advancement  to  the  Semitic  races ;  but  before 
this  period  the  descendants  of  Ham— Egypt  and 
Babylon — led  the  way  as  the  pioneers  in  art,  litera- 
ture and  science.  Mankind  at  the  present  day 
lies  under  infinite  obligations  to  the  genius  and  in- 
dustry of  those  early  ages,  more  especially  for 
alphabetic  writing,  weaving  cloth,  architecture, 
astronomy,  plastic  art,  sculpture,  navigation  and 
agriculture.  The  art  of  painting  is  also  repre- 
sented, and  music  intlirectly,  by  drawings  of  iB- 
strunients.

his  "handiwork"  (Ps.  viii.  3;  xix.  1;  Gen.  ii.  2;

stands  on  the  banks  of  the  small  river  Belilk,  a 
branch  of  the  Euphrates.  From  it  a  number  of 
roads  radiate  to  the  great  fords  of  the  Tigris  and 
Euphrates.  Being  in  the  route  of  the  trade  be- 
tween Central  and  Western  Asia  it  attracted  Te- 
rah, and  explains 
the  allusion  of  the 
prophet  Ezekiel. 
There  is  a  Harran 
el  Awamid  10  ms. 
east  of  Damascus, 
on  the  shore  of  the 
lake  Ateibeh,  be-

Peor,  and  among  the  Samarit- 
ans who  came  from  Assyria  (2

kiel  (xlvii.  16, 18)  probably  meant  a  region  inclu- 


ding the  Lejah,  Batansea  in  the  mountains  (where 
the  oaks  of  Bashan  still  grow  around  the  ruins  of 
ancient  cities),  and  what  is  now  Hauran.  The 
Ilauran  is  a  vast  fertile  plain,  the  "  granary  of  Da- 
mascus." Not  a  rock  or  stone  encumbers  its  soil. 
More  than  a  hundred  ruined  cities  are  found — 
though  only  deserted,  not  ruined;  for  the  houses 
are  quite  perfect  and  habitable  still,  being  built  of 
stone,  even  to  the  doors  and  window-shutters, 
hinges  and  all,  and  roofs— of  fine  solid  stone. 
Some  of  the  dates  are  before  our  era,  and  it  is  quite 
probable  that  these  cities  are  the  very  same  that 
Moses  described  (Deut.  iii.  5). — Porter's  Five  Tears

HAVFLAH  (sand).  1.  Son  of  Cush  (Gen.  x.  7) : 
and,  2.  A  son  of  Joktan  (x.  29).— 1.  On  the  Red 
Sea,  in  Arabia,  between  Mecca  and  Sanaa.  It  is  a 
fertile  region,  abounding  in  fruit,  gum  and  myrrh; 
mountainous,  well  watered,  and  has  a  numerous 
population.  "The  people  were  called  by  Eratosthenes 
(in  Strabo),  Chaulanitse.— 2.  A  district 
southeast  of  Sanaa.  A  third  district  of 
the  same  name  is  sought  for  in  answer  to 
Gen.  ii.  11,  which  was  compassed  by  one 
of  the  rivers  of  Eden.  In  Gen.  xxv.  18,  it 
is  stated  that  the  tribes  of  Ishmael  dwelt 
from  "Ilavilah  unto  Shur;"  and  this  seems 
to  call  for  a  locality  on  the  Persian  Gulf  or 
the  Euphrates. 

HA'VOTH  JAlR  (Num.  xxxii.  41).  Jair 
took  a  number  of  small  towns  in  Gilead,  in 
the  mountain  district  south  of  the  Hiero- 
max,  and  named  them  "Jair's  villages." 
A  descendant  of  his,  of  the  same  name,  was 
a  judge  of  Israel,  and  lived  here  in  30  cities 
(Judg.  x.  3,  4.)  Bashan-havoth-j air  were 
among  the  60  cities  of  Argob  (Deut.  iii.  14, 
etc.). 

HAWK  (nez  ;  Arabic  nes) .  In  Job 
xxxix.  26  "does  the  nez  fly  by  thy  wis- 
dom?" It  was  migratory,  as  are  10  or  12 
kinds  now.  The  sak'r  is  used  to  catch 
partridges,  grouse,  quail,  herons,  hares  and 
gazelles. 

HAY  (CHATZIR,  Gr.  herba;  Prov.  xxvii. 
25;  Is.  XV.  6).  The  modern  Orientals  do 
not  make  hay  for  such  uses  as  we  do,  but 
the  ancients  mowed  grass,  and  used  the 
dried  hay  (Ps.  Ixxii.  6)  for  burning,  or  per- 
haps forfeeding  (Ps.  xxvii.  2). 

HA'ZAEL  (El  is  seeing).  A  king  of  Da- 
mascus, B.  C.  886-840  (see  Elisha).  The 
Assyrian  inscriptions  furnish  some  ac- 
counts of  wars  in  Syria  in  his  day,  which 
are  also  mentioned  in  Scripture.  Hazael 
fulfiled  a  prophesy  of  Elisha  in  ravaging 
Gilead,  etc.  (2  K.  x.  32,  33). 

HA'ZAEL,  THE  HOUSE  OF  (Amos  i.  4). 
Damascus,  or  Hazael 's  palace,  or  perhaps 
his  family. 

HAZAI'AH  (Jan  beholds).  Son  of  Judah 
(Neh.  xi.  5). 

HAZ'AR  AD'DAB,  (walled  space  for  a  camp, 
named  Addar),  (Num.  xxxiv.  4).  A  south 
boundary  of  the  promised  land,  near  Ka- 
desh-Barnea.  There  are  walled-in  places 
all  over  tliis  district,  but  without  names 
known  to  history. 

HAZARMAVETH.  Third  son  of  Joktan  (Gen. 
X.  26).  Located  in  the  south  of  Arabia,  on  the  In- 
dian Ocean.  Now  called  Iladramaut.  Capital  city 
Shibam.  Chief  ports  jNIirbat,  Zafari  (Sephar), 
Kisheem.  The  native  name  of  a  person  is  Iladra,- 
mee — very  similar  to  their  name  in  ancient  history, 
Adramitse.  The  country  is  well  cultivated,  arid 
exports  frankincense,  myrrh,  aloes  (from  Socotra), 
gum  arabic,  and  dragon's  blood.  North  of  Iladra- 
maut, the  Great  Red  Desert  of   Arabia,  called

fortified,  near  Lake  Merom.  "The  head  of  all 
those  kingdoms,"  i.  e.,  the  chief  city  in  North  Ca- 
naan. Taken  by  Joshua,  and  given  to  Naphtali. 
In  after-times,  a  king  Jabin,  of  Hazor,  held  the 
Israelites  in  subjection  20  years.  Jabin's  army, 
including  600  chariots  of  iron,  led  by  Sisera  (per- 
haps intending  to  conquer  all  Palestine),  were 
routed  by  Barak  and  Deborah  (Judg.  iv.).  Forti- 
fied by  Solomon  (1  K.  ix.  15.)  Referred  to  by 
Josephus,  and  in  Mace.  xi.  67.-2.  (Josh.  xv.  23).

Ilezron.  There  were  also  Baal  Hazok  and  En 
Hazor. 

HEAD  (Heb.  rosh,  Gr.  kephale).    Used  for  the 


top  of  anything,  as  the  summit  of  a  mountain,  top 

of  a  tree. 

HEAD-DRESS.  The  head-dress  is  a  very  import- 
ant matttir  in  the  hot  climate  of  the  East,  besides 
its  use  "for  glory  and  for  beauty"  (Ex.  xxviii.40). 
There  are  several  names  of  dinerent  articles  used 
by  different  persons,  or  at  various  times.  1.  Zan- 
IPH,  (to  roll  or  wind)  worn  by  nobles  (Job  xxix. 
14),  and  ladies  (Is.  iii.  23),  and  kings  (Ixii.  3;  mit/i^e 
in  Zech.  iii.  6),  was  a  -.--^— ^ 

turban,  intended  for 
display.  2.  Peer, 
modern  name  tarljush 
(or  kaook)  the  red  cap. 
The  Bedawin  head- 
dress (kejfleh)  is  formed 
by  folding  a  square 
cloth  across  from  the  | 
corners,  and  tying  it  on 
the  head,  so  as  to  have 
one  (double)  corner  be- 
hind and  one  on  each 
side  of  the  neck.  The 
Assyrian  was  probably  ^''""^'^  head-dress. 
made  of  bright  and  mingled  colors  (Ez.  xxiii.  15). 
See  cuts  on  pps.  9,  76  and  120. 

HEART  (Heb.  leb,  Gr.  kardia).  The  supposed 
seat  of  the  intellect,  soul,  etc.  (Judg.  xvi;  17). 

HEARTH  (Heb.  ah,  ach,  moked,  kitor).  A 
floor  of  stones  on  which  a  fire  is  made.  Used  for 
the  whole  house.  Jehoiakini's  was  probably  a 
brazier  of  charcoal  (Jer.  xxxvi.  23). 

HEATH  (AROER,  ARAR).  A  shrub  used  in 
thatch,  for  brooms,  beds,  etc.,  probably  juniper  or 
savin  (Jer.  xvii.  6,  xlviii.  6). 

HEATHEN  (goi,  goyim).  All  nations  have  a 
term  for  distinguishing  other  people  from  their 
own.  The  Hebrews  were  very  particular  in  this 
matter,  because  they  were  forbidden  to  marry  out 
of  their  own  nation,  or  even  to  mingle  in  society 
with  them.  The  heathen  were  worsliipers  of  false 
gods.  After  the  Greeks  came  into  power  their 
name  meant  the  same  as  heathen  (Greek  hethen), 
and  is  the  same  or  similar  to  "uncircumcised." 
Goyim  also  meant  wicked  as  opposed  to  the  righte- 
ous Jews. 

HEAVEN.  1.  RAKIA,  firmament,  expanse. — 2, 
SHAMAYiM,  fhe  high,  the  heavens  (and  earth). 
Always  plural  in  the  Hebrew  of  the  O.  T.— 3. 
MAROM  (mou7itain),  hight,  high  region;  shaha- 
KiM,  expanse,  skies.— i.  araba'h  (the  desert),  t?is 
heaven;  ariphim  (distilling),  clouds;  Greek,  oura- 
nos  (air),  heaven;  hupsos  (bight),  on  high;  another 
(from  above)  heaven.  The  "third  heaven"  of 
Paul,  in  2  Cor.  xii.  2,  is  explained  from  the  Jewish 
way  of  naming  three  parts  in  heaven,  as:  1.  The 
place  of  clouds  in  the  air;  2.  The  place  of  the  sun, 
moon  and  stars;  3.  The  place  of  God  and  his 
angels.  Heavens  and  earth  meant  the  entire 
universe.  Once  heaven,  earth,  and  under  the 
earth  (Phil.  ii.  10). 

HE'BER  (society).  1.  Grandson  of  Asher  (Gen. 
xlvi.  17).— 2.  Father  of  Socho,  of  Judah  (1  Chr. 
iv.  18).— 3.  Gadite  (v.  13).— 4.  Son  of  Elpaal,  a 
Benjamite  (viii.  17).— 5.  Son  of  Shashak  (xxii.). 
—6.  Husband  of  Jael,  a  Kenite  (Judg.  iv.  11-17). 
—7.  The  patriarch  Eber  (Luke  iii.  35).  Hebe- 
rites  (Num.  xxvi.  45). 

HEBREW.  This  name  was  first  used  of  Abra- 
ham in  Gen.  xiv.  13.  Four  sources  have  been 
offered :  1.  From  Abram;  2.  From  abar  ;  S. 
From  EBER  (country  beyond);  and  4.  From  eber, 
the  patriarch  (this  would  have  been  ibri).  He- 
brew of  the  Hebrews;  a  pure-minded  Jew.

THE  Books. 

HE'BRON  (thefnend).  Third  son  of  Kohath,  who 
was  second  son  'of  Levi  (Ex.  vi.  18).   The  clan  is 


fori,  rude,  push;  6,  i,  0,  silent;  9  as  a;  <jh  as  sh;  ^.'Ch  as  k;  g  as  j;  g  as  in  get;  s  as  z;  x  as  gz;  n  as  in  linger,  link;  tii  as  In  thine.

HELKATH 


mentioned  in  the  time  of  David  (1  Chr.  xv.  9,  xxiii. 
19),  as  of  tlie  sons  of  Levi,  wlio  only  ouglit  to 
carry  tlie  ark  of  God;  and  also  mighty  men  of 
valor  of  Jazer,  in  Gilead  (xxvi.  31),  who  were  of- 
ficers in  David's  government;  and  another  branch 
held  the  same  rank  on  the  west  side  of  Jordan. 
There  was  a  Hebron  among  the  sons  of  Caleb. 
The  City  op  Hebron  is  one  of  the  most  ancient, 
built  7  years  before  Zoan  (Num.  xiii.  22),  and  even 
older  than  Damascus  (Gen.  xii.  18).  See  cut  of 
Hebron  on  page  4.  Its  original  name  was  Arba, 
or  Kirjath  Arba  (city  of  Arba),  from  Arba,  the 
father  of  Anak  (xxxiii.  2;  Josh.  xiv.  15,  xv.  13). 
It  was  also  called  Mambe  (Gen.  xxiii.  19,  xxxv. 
27).    The  ancient  city  was  in  a  valley,  and  its 

Sools  help  fix  its  site  and  identity  (2  Sam.  iv.  12). 
[any  years  of  the  lifetime  of  Abraham,  Isaac  and 
Jacob  were  spent  here,  where  they  were  all  buried; 
and  from  Hebron  Jacob  and  his  family  set  out  for 
Egypt,  by  way  of  Beersheba.  The  city  was  given 
to  Caleb  by  Joshua,  who  drove  out  the  Anakim. 
One  of  the  Cities  op  Refuge.  It  was  David's 
royal  residence  for  7  years  and  a  half;  where  most 
of  his  sons  were  born;  and  here  he  was  crowned 
king  over  all  Israel  (2  Sam.  ii.),  when  David 
changed  the  royal  residence  to  Jerusalem.  Forti- 
fied by  Rehoboam.  It  was  occupied  after  the  Cap- 
tivity; but  fell  into  the  hands  of  the  Edomites, 
from  whom  it  was  recovered  by  Judas  Maccabseus 
(1  Mace.  V.  65).  It  was  called  Hebron  or  Castle 
of  Abraham  during  the  Crusades.  The  modern 
tovra  is  called  Khulil  {the  friend  ^^ of.  God"),  by 
the  Arabs,  and  lies  on  the  eastern  and  southern 
side  of  a  beautiful  valley.  The  houses  are  all  of 
stone,  well  built,  having  flat  roofs  with  many 
domes.  The  streets  are  only  a  few  feet  wide,  and 
the  bazaars  are  covered  either  by  awnings  or 
arches.  Glass  is  the  only  manufacture ;  lamps,  and 
the  bracelets  and  rings  worn  by  women.  The 
court  in  which  the  mosque  over  the  tombs  of  the 
patriarchs  is  built  is  surrounded  by  an  extensive 
and  lofty  wall,  formed  of  large  stones,  strength- 
ened by  square  buttresses,  the  greatest  antiquity 
in  Hebron,  and  probably  the  same  as  that  seen  and 
described  by  Josephus  (Ant.  i.  14;  B.  J.  iv.  9,  7). 


The  only  other  antiquities  are  the  two  cisterns  for 
rain-water  (pools).    The  one  close  to  the  south 

fate  of  the  city  is  133  feet  square,  22  feet  deep,  and 
uilt  of  hewn  limestone,  with  steps  at  each  corner, 
down  to  the  water.  The  other  pool  at  the  north 
end  of  the  town  is  85  by  55  feet,  and  19  feet  deep. 
The  surrounding  country  is  productive,  and  the 
many  ruins  show  a  once  dense  population  and 
high  state  of  cultivation.  Population  5000. — 2.  In 
Asher  (Josh.  xix.  28).    Abdon? 

HE'BRONITES,  THE.  Descendants  of  Hebron,

HEDGE  (GADER,  geder,  a  stone  wall,  or  other 
fence;  mesukah,  hedge  of  thorns  or  cactus).  Be- 
sides stones,  walls  are  made  of  sun-dried  mud,  (es- 


pecially in  Egypt) ;  and  the  nukb  thorn  tree  makes 
an  impassable  hedge,  as  well  as  the  cactus. 

HE'GAI  or  HEG'AI.  Eunuch  (prime-minister)  of 
the  court  of  Ahasuerus  (Esth.  ii.  8-15) . 

HE'GE.  Hegai  (Esth.  ii.  3).  Aja  or  Aga  in 
Sanscrit.    Name  of  a  modern  Turkish  officer. 

HEIFER  (aglah,  tfte  young  of  kine).  They 
worked  with  other  cattle,  in  treading  out  grain 
(Hosea  x.  11),  and  in  plowing  (Judg.  xiv.  18). 
Egypt  was  "a  fair  heifer"  (Jer.  xiv.  20),in  allusion 
to  the  bull  Apis  worshiped  there.  Several  names 
are  made  from  it,  as  Eglah,  En-eglaim,  and  Parah 
{young  mother  cow).  Heifers  are  used  at  the  plow 
now  as  anciently. 

The  ordinance  op  the  red  heifer  (Num. 
xix.),  is  a  very  peculiar  item  in  the  ancient  re- 
ligion, concerning  cleansing  rather  than  atone- 
ment. It  was  intended  to  cleanse  from  the  cere- 
monial defilement  which  followed  from  touching  a 
dead  body,  or  a  bone  of  a  dead  man,  or  entering  a 
house  where  there  was  a  person  dead.  Purifica- 
tion in  the  usual  way  required  7  days  of  time.  A 
son  of  the  high  priest  sprinkled  the  blood  of  a  red 
heifer  before  the  tabernacle  (temple,  not  on  the 
altar),  and  the  carcase  was  to  be  burned  entire, 
outside  of  the  camp,  in  a  clean  place  (with  a  bit 
of  cedar  wood,  and  of  scarlet  cloth),  reserving 
nothing;  the  ashes  were  to  be  kept  for  use.  Mixed 
with  fresh  water  they  were  sprinkled  on  the  un- 
clean, on  the  third,  and  on  the  seventh  day,  with 
a  bunch  of  hyssop.  After  changing  his  clothes 
and  bathing  he  was  clean.  His  house  or  tent  was 
also  to  be  sprinkled,  with  all  its  furniture,  etc.

worship  extended  to  all  colonies  of  TjTe,  especially 
to  Cartilage.  This  was  the  Baal  also.  Tlie  (i reek's 
make  him  the  most  famous  hero  of  their  fanulous 
history,  remarkable  for  his  great  strength  (Sam- 
son), and  especially  for  12  "labors"  which  were 
connected  with  the  health  and  safety  of  men.  Hera 
was  the  Greek  name  of  Juno,  who  was  the  guar-

The  herd  was  one  of 
the  chief  sources  of 
wealth,  and  the  ox  the 
most  precious,  next  to 
the  horse  and  mule. 
The  herd  yielded  the 
most  esteemed  sacri- 
fice. Its  supply  for  sus- 
tenance was  most  im- 
Eortant,  in  tlesh,  milk, 
utter  and  cheese.  The 
cattle  were  broken  to 
service  in  the  third 
year,  after  which  they 
were  rarely  killed.  The 
ox  eats  grass  and 
browses  on  foliage  also. 
The  harvest  is  gathered 
and  threshed  by  the 
help  of  cattle.  Pha- 
Hj-BA.  raoh  made  some  of  Jo-

HER  'MON  (nose  of  mountain) .  The  highest  peak 
of  Anti- Lebanon,  on  or  beyond  the  north  border  of 
the  land  (Josh.  xi.  17;  Deut.  xxxiv.  1;  1  Sam.  iii. 
20).  The  Amorites  called  it  Shenir  (to  shine,  as  a 
coat  of  mail);  the  Sidonians,  Sirion  (to  glitter) ;  also 
called  Sion  (elevated) ;  and  now  by  the  Arabs  Jebd_ 
esh  Shaikh  (chief  mountain),  and  Jebel  eth  TTielj 
(snoicy  mmmtain).  Its  head  is  crovraed  with  per- 
petual snow;  and  when  the  whole  lowland  country 
is  burnt  by  the  summer  sun,  long  lines  of  snow 
streak  dovra  the  sides  of  Hermon,  like  the  white 
locks  of  an  old  man  about  his  shoulders.  There 
are  three  summits,  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from 
each  other  in  a  triangular  position,  and  10,000  feet 
high.  They  are  visible  (at  a  distance  as  one  peak) 
from  every  part  of  Palestine  north  of  Shiloh,  from 
the  Jordan  valley  near  the  Dead  Sea,  and  from  the 
Moab  mountains  as  far  south  as  Nebo.  Its  rivers 
are  Jordan,  Abana,  Pharpar,  Orontes,  and  Leon- 
tes.  It  was  the  religious  centre  of  pagan  Syria, 
and  the  temples  of  Baal  gave  it  a  name.  The 
ruins  of  these  temples  are  now  found  on  many  of 
its  lower  shoulders,  as  at  Rakleh,  Sed  Dan,  Bustra, 
Mutaleih,  Kefr  Kuk,  Burkush,  Aiba,  Hibariyeh, 
Tilthatha,  Ain  Hersha,  Asheir,  Bekkeh,  Munseh, 
and  Paneas.  At  Rakleh  there  is  a  god's  face,  40 
inches  in  diameter,  surrounded  by  a  wreath,  all 
well  cut  in  bold  relief,  and  set  in  the  wall  of  the 
temple,  which  is  a  ruin,  and  one  of  a  circle  of  tem- 
ples all  around,  facing  the  summit  of  Hermon. 
The  temple  at  Asheir  is  on  an  elevated  platfonn 
(which  is  ornamented  with  a  frieze  and  cornice), 
126  by  69  feet,  and  itself  89  by  40  feet,  and  54  feet 
high.  In  the  Ionic  style,  with  cup  and  ball  orna- 
ments. On  the  very  highest  peak  are  the  founda- 
tions of  a  circular  wall  of  large  stones,  enclosing 
hewn  stones  (some  beveled),  in  heaps,  disclosing 
the  plan  of  a  small  temple  (Deut.  xii.  2;  2  K.  xvii. 
10).  The  central  peak  is  a  bald  cone  of  gray  lime- 
stone, 2,000  feet  higher  than  the  surrounding 
ridges.    These  lower  ridges  are  thinly  clothed  with

Josephus  says  the  Herods  were  Edomites  (xiv. 
15  §  2),  but  Nicolaus  of  Damascus,  a  historian  of 
the  times,  says  they  returned  from  exile  with  other 
Jews  (a  story  invented  to  please  Herod).  Anti- 
pater (1.)  gained  power,  first  in  Idumea,  and  then 
by  fomenting  the  di- 
visions between  Hyr- 
eanus, the  high  priest 
and  his  brother  Aris- 
tobulus. He  also 
came  into  power  in 
Judfea,  although 
Hyreanus  was  nomi- 
nal ruler.  Herod 
(4.)  the  Great  was  only  15  years  (20?)  when 
he  began  to  rule,  and  soon  won  a  popular 
enthusiasm  by  j^ood  measures  of  public  safety 
and  quiet.  Being  summoned  before  the  San- 
hedrin,  he  appeared  robed  in  purple,  with  a 
strong  guard  of  soldiers,  and  was  not  sentenced. 
Not  long  after  receiving  favor  from  Sextus, 
president  of  Syria,  and  Cassius,  he  punished  Ma-

lichus  his  father's  murderer.  He  was  made  gov- 
ernor of  Judeea  jointly  with  his  brother  Phasael, 

B.  C.  41.  Antigonus  being  driven  out  of  Judgea, 
joined  the  Parthians  and  got  possession  of  Judaea, 
40  B.  C,  Herod  flying  to  Rome,  while  Phasael 
killed  himself.  Octavms  Caesar  confirmed  Herod 
in  his  oflice  and  Herod  returned  to  Judsea,  where 
he  tried  to  gain  the  favor  of  the  Jews  by  rebuild- 
ing and  ornamenting  the  temple  (commenced  B. 

C.  24),  and  restoring  such  cities  as  Csesarea,  Anti- 
patris,  Sebaste  (Samaria),  and  others,  besides  pub- 
lic buildings  in  Damascus,  Tripoli,  Ptolemais,  Tyre, 
Sidon,  Askelon  and  Antioch  (a  large  open  space, 
paved  with  marble,  having  a  cloister),  and  also 
frequent  public  games  and  feasts,  all  at  his  own 
expense.  He  also  made  costly  presents  to  Caesar 
and  Agrippa.  He  is  said  to  have  destroyed  the 
genealogies  of  the  Jewish  priestly  families.  These 
deeds  were  prompted  by  the  ambition  to  connect 
his  name  with  the  prosperity  of  his  country,  like 
Solomon's.  The  close  of  his  career  was  stained 
with  many  cruel  and  barbarous  crimes.  His  wives 
and  children  plotted  against  each  other.  (He  had 
ten  wives,  two  of  whom  were  his  own  nieces.) 

Three  of  his  sons  (9, 
10,  11)  he  had  killed, 
with  the  mother  of 
two  (10,  11).  In  the 
midst  of  these  family 
troubles,  and  of  sedi- 
tions in  the  city,  he  was 
seized  with  a  terrible 
disorder  in  the  bowels, 
and  tried  to  kill  himself,  after  giving  orders  for  a 
magnificent  funeral.  He  attempted  to  destroy  the 
infant  Jesus  by  killing  all  the  children  in  Betlile- 
hem  (about  12),  to  get  rid  of  an  object  of  jealousy, 
for  Jesus  was  spoken  of  as  born  king  of  the  Jews. 
He  died  B.  C.  4.  He  maintained  peace  at  home 
and  abroad  by  his  vigor  and  timely  generosity,  and 
conciliated  tlie  good-will  of  the  Romans.  Many 
coins  of  his  reign  are  still  extant.  (See  Money.) 
Herod  Antipas  (15)  had  been  destined  as  his 
father's  successor,  but  was  appointed  "teti'arch  of 
Galilee  and  Peraea."  He  first  married  a  daughter 
of  Aretas  (king  of  Arabia  Petraea),  and  after- 
wards Herodias,  his  half-brother  "Herod-Philip's" 
wife.  This  Herodias  caused  the  death  of  John 
the  Baptist.  Aretas,  in  revenge  for  the  slight  put 
on  his  daughter,  invaded  Herod's  territory  and  de- 
feated him.  He  went  to  Rome,  at  the  suggestion 
of  Herodias,  to  ask  for  the  title  of  a  king,  but  be- 
ing there  opposed  by  the  friends  of  Agrippa,  be 
was  banished  to  Lugdununi,  A.  D.  39,  where  he 
died,  his  wife  being  with  him.  It  was  to  this  Herod 
that  Jesus  was  seiit  for  examination  by  Pilate.  He 
built  Tiberias,  and  restored  Sepphoris,  and  Beth- 
harem  in  Peraea,  naming  it  Julias  after  the  empe- 
ror's wife. 

Archelaus  (16).  The  kingdom  which  had  been 
once  intended  for  his  brother  Antipas,  was  left  to 
Archelaus,  who  was  educated  in  Rome,  and  Au- 
gustus confirmed  the  choice,  giving  him  Idumea, 
Judaea,  Samaria,  Caeserea,  Joppa,  and  Jerusalem, 
with  the  title  of  Ethnarch.  He  broke  the  Mosaic 
law  by  marrying  his  brother's  widow,  Glaphyra; 
was  denounced  by  his  subjects,  appealed  to  Caesar, 
and  was  banished  to  Vienne,  in  Gaul,  where  he 
died  (A.  D.  39). 

Herod  Philip  I  (14).  His  mother  was  daugh- 
ter of  the  high-priest  Simon.  He  married  Hero- 
dias, sister  of  Agrippa  I,  and  their  daughter  was 
Salome  (31).  Herodias  left  him  for  his  half-brother 
Antipas  (Matt.  xiv.  3).  He  was  excluded  from  aU 
share  in  his  father's  possessions  because  of  his 
mother's  treachery,  and  lived  a  private  life. 

Herod  Philip  II  (19).  He  was  brought  up  at 
Rome,  and  after  his  father's  death  was  appointed 
governor  (tetrarch)  of  Batanaea,  Trachonitis,  Au- 
ranitis,  and  Jamnia,  which  he  ruled  with  justice

and  moderation,  without  taking  part  in  the  in- 
trigiu's  of  the  rest  of  his  family.  He  rebuilt  Pan- 
eas,  and  named  it  Ceesarea  Philippi,  and  raised 
IJethsaida  beyond  Jordan  to  a  city,  naming  it  Ju- 
lias after  the  (hiughter  of  the  emperor,  and  died 
there  (A.  I).  31).  He  married  Salome  (31),  but 
left  no  children.

Koine  with  Claudius  and  Drusus,  where  'x'ibcriu.i 
imprisoned  him  for  an  unguarded  speech.  Caius 
Caligula,  the  succeeding  emperor,  liberated  him, 
and  made  him  tetrarch  of  Galilee  and  Pcrcr-i  (Ly- 
sanias).  Herod  Antipas  and  Herodias  t  ri  :tl  v\  vain 
to  have  liim  deposed,  but  he  defeated  Iheir  plans 
by  a  counter-charge  of  treason  with  the  Parthians. 
Agrippa  remh'red  important  service  to  Claudius, 
and  had  his  dominions  enlarged  by  Samaria  and 
Judiea,  so  that  they  equaled  in  extent  those  of 
Herod  the  Great,  fte  was  a  strict  keeper  of  the 
law,  and  was  respected  by  the  Jews.  It  i.;  sup- 
posed that  it  was  to  increase  their  favor  that  he 
put  to  death  James  the  Less,  and  put  Peter  in 
prison  (Acts  xii).  In  the  fourth  year  of  his 
reign  over  Judtea  (A.  D.  44),  he  attended  some 
games  in  honor  of  the  emperor.  Appearing  in  a 
robe  ornamented  with  silver  embroidery,  his  flat- 
terers saluted  him  as  a  god,  when  he  was  seized 
with  a  sudden  illness,  and  died  in  five  days  (eaten 
of  worms). 


HEAD  OF  TITUS.     COIN  OF  HEROD  AGRIPPA  II. 

Herod  Agrippa  II  (36).    He  was  educated  at 

Eome,  and  was  only  17  at  his  father's  death.  His 
first  appointment  was  the  kingdom  of  Chalcis,  and 
afterwards  the  tetrarchies  of  thilip  and  Lysanias, 
with  the  title  of  king  (Acts  xxv).  Nero  added 
several  cities.  He  built  many  splendid  public 
buildings  in  Jerusalem  and  Berytus.  Juvenal  in 
his  satires  notices  his  relation  to  his  sister  Berenice. 
He  died  at  Rome  in  the  3d  year  of  Trajan,  A.  D. 
100,  the  last  of  the  Herods. 

HERODIANS.  Formed  a  party  very  keenly  op- 
posed to  the  claims  of  Jesus,  who  favored  the  Herod 
family  and  watched  its  interests.  They  "watched 
him,  and  sent  forth  spies,  which  should  feign 
themselves  just  men,  that  they  might  take  hold  of 
his  words,  so  that  they  might  deliver  him  unto  the 
power  and  authority  of  the  governor"  (Luke  xx. 
20).  Herodias,  daughter  of  Aristobulus,  son  of 
Herod  the  Great  (4),  and  wafe  first  of  Herod 
Philip,  and  then,  contrary  to  the  law  of  Moses,  of 
Herod  Antipas,  who  had  a  wife,  the  daughter  of 
the  king  of  Arabia  (Aretas).  John  the  Baptist 
reproved  her,  and  she  in  revenge  caused  his  death 
(Matt.  xiv.  8)  at  Machperus.  She  went  with  her 
husband  Antipas  into  exile  (see  Herod  Antipas), 
at  a  place  now  called  St.  Bertrand  de  Comminges, 
in  France,  near  Spain,  on  the  Garonne  river,  an- 
ciently Lugdunum  Converarum,  at  the  foot  of  the 
Pyrenees. 

HERODION.  A  relative  of  Paul  at  Rome  (Rom. 
xvi.  11 ) .  Tradition  says  he  was  bishop  of  Tarsus, 
or  of  Patrsea. 

HERON  (anaphah).  An  unclean  bird  (Lev.  xi. 
19;  Deut.  xiv.  18).  There  are  several  species 
"after  its  kind"  in  Palestine,  one  of  which  is 
called  the  White  Ibis,  which  are  found  in  immense 
flocks  about  the  Huleh  lake  and  marsh.  The  flesh 
is  excellent. 

HE  SED  ( favor) .  Commissary  for  Solomon  in  the 
Aruboth  (1  K.  iv.  10). 

HESH'BON  (Num.  xxi.  26).    Capital  city  of  Si- 


hon,  king  of  the  Amorites,  on  the  western  border 
of  tiie  J/'Mot-  (Josh.  xiii.  17),  and  on  the  boun- 
dary between  Reuben  and  Gad.  The  ruins  are  20 
miles  east  of  Jordan,  opposite  the  north  end  of  the 
Dead  Sea,  on  an  insulated  hill,  scattering  over  a 
space  more  than  a  mile  in  circuit,  with  not  a  single 
edifice  entire.  Many  cisterns  are  whole,  and  a 
large  reservior  near  the  base  of  a  hill  recalls  the 
text  in  Cant.  vii.  4,  "Thine  eyes  are  like  the  fish- 
pools  of  Ileshbon."  The  view  from  the  summit  is 
very  extensive  over  the  great  undulating  plateau, 
embracing  the  ruins  of  a  great  number  of  cities, 
whose  names  resemble  those  of  the  Scriptures. 
(See  Tristram's  Land  of  Israel).

17).    Hezekiah. 

HEZEKI'AH  (HizEKiYAH,  strength  of  Jah).  12th 
king  of  Judah,  son  of  the  idolator  Ahaz.  Made 
king  at  25  (or  20),  B.  C.  726.  He  destroyed  the 
images  and  the  instruments  of  idol  worship,  even 
the  image  of  the  brazen  serpent,  which  had  been 
preserved  to  his  time  as  a  precious  relic  of  the  wil- 
derness, and  repaired  the  temple  and  its  furniture. 
He  then  held  a  solemn  assembly,  and  after  that  a 
feast  of  the  Passover,  to  which  a  great  many  came, 
and  others  sent  gifts,  and  the  seven  days  were 
fully  honored,  so  much  so  that  another  seven  days 
were  added  "with  gladness"  (2  Chr.  xxx.  23). 
He  refused  submission  and  tribute  to  the  king  of 
Assyria,  which  brought  the  Assyrian  army  to 
Samaria  in  the  fourth  year  of  his  reign,  and  in  the

14th  year  the  assault  on  Judaea  was  made  (2  K. 
xviii.  13),  when  Hezekiah  made  peace,  being  com- 
pelled to  rob  the  temple  to  pay  the  tax.  A  strong 
confirmation  of  the  leading  facts  in  the  Bible  nar- 
rative has  lately  been  discovered  at  Nineveh, 
sculptured  in  stone,  with  the  names  of  Hezekiah 
and  others  familiar,  which  leave  no  doxibt  in  the 
matter.  Sennacherib  insisted  on  an  unconditional 
snn-ender,  in  the  most  offensive  manner.  Heze- 
kiah humbled  himself  before  God,  and  being  as- 
sured by  Isaiah  of  the  favor  of  Jehovah,  he  called 
his  army  together  and  prayed  for  help,  which  came

as  a  plague  upon  the  hosts  of  the  Assyrians  (2  K. 
xix.  35).  Sennacherib  was  killed  soon  after  his 
return  home,  in  tlie  house  of  his  idol,  by  two  of 
his  sons.  Hezekiali  only  lived  a  year  longer, 
dying  in  his  54th  year.  He  was  one  of  the  best 
kings  of  both  Israel  and  Judah.— 2.  Son  of  Neariah, 
in  the  royal  line  of  Judah  (1  Chr.  iii.  23).— 3.  Hiz-

HID'DEKEL  (Gen.  ii.  14).  One  of  the  rivers  of 
Eden— the  3d,  "flowing  toward  the  E.  of  Assyria." 
Daniel  saw  one  of  his  poetic  visions  near  its  banks 
(Dan.  X.  4).  The  Aramaean  name  of  the  river 
Tigris  is  D^yZ^— Arabic,  Diklah;  and  the  Hebrew 
name  seems  to  be  compounded  of  the  ancient  name 
with  the  prefix  for  active,  Hiddiklah  or  Hidde- 
KEL.  Pliny  vsTites  it  Diglito,  "an  arrow;"  Jo- 
sephus,  Diglath,  "swift"  (Ant.  i.  1,  3),  aU  of 
which  refer  to  the  great  swiftness  of  its  current. 
(See  Tigris). 

HI'EL.  Jehtel  (El  is  animation).  Native  of 
Bethel  (1  K.  xvi.  34;  Josh.  vi.  26). 

HIEEAP'OLIS  (Col.  iv.  13),  Five  miles  north 
of  Laodicea.  There  are  mineral  springs,  whose 
waters  form  stalactites,  which  gave  it  an  ancient 
celebrity  (Strabo  xiii.  629)  A  great  number  of 
sepulchres  are  found  in  its  vicinity.  The  ruins 
show  its  ancient  greatness,  and  traces  are  still  dis- 
tinct of  a  temple  of  Apollo,  a  theatre  (346  feet), 
a  gymnasium  (400  feet  sq.),  and  three  Christian 
churches  (one  300  feet).

(2  Mace.  xii.  2). 

HIGGAI'ON  (Ps.  ix.  17).  Meditation.  Soft

HIGH  PLACES  (bamoth) .  From  the  top  of  Her- 
mon  to  the  crest  of  tlie  low  liills,  all  over  the  land, 
there  are  evidences  that  they  were  used  for  religi- 
ous rites,  both  in  idolatrous  and  in  pure  worship. 
The  temple  on  Moriah  was  intended  to  supersede 
all  other  high  places,  and  no  other  worship  was 
allowed,  except  on  special  occasions. 

HIGH  PRIEST.  The  office  of  the  (COHEN,  priest) 
high  priest  was  legal,  theological  and  historical. 
The  legal  included  all  the  law  of  Moses  alluding 
to  it,  as  the  substitute  for  the  first-born.  He 
alone  was  consecrated  by  the  anointing  oil,  the 
underpriests  being  sprinkled  only  (Ps.  cxxxiii.). 
His  dress  was  symbolical.  (See  Dress).  He 
alone  could  enter"  the  Holy  of  Holies,  which  he 
did  but  once  a  year  (Day  op  Atonement) 
clothed  in  pure  white.  The  accidental  man-slayer 
was  safe  in  the  City  of  Refuge  diiring  his  life-time, 
and  at  his  death  could  return  to  his  friends.  He 
could  not  follow  a  fimeral,  nor  disfigure  himself 
by  mourning.     There  was  an    assistant,    called 


SAG  AN  (second  priest),  who  could  act  in  his  stead 
(Luke  iii.  2).  The  elders  or  Sanhedrin  appointed 
him  before  the  monarchy.  No  one  could  hold  the 
office  who  was  blemished,  or  was  under  20  years 
(2  Chr.  xxxi.  17),  and  it  ended  only  at  death, 
although  one  could  be,  or  was  deposed  for  ill-con- 
duct. Theologically  he  was  a  type  of  Jesus  the 
Christ.  Historically  his  office  concerns  the  history 
of  the  Jews  for  1370  years,  including  nearly  80 
different  persons,  from  Aaron  to  Phannias.  See 
pages  8,  16. 

HIGHWAY.  Roads  or  paths  were  used  in  ancient 
times,  but  the  Romans  made  the  first  paved  ways, 
traces  of  which  still  remain. 

HI'LEN  (1  Chr.  vi.  58).    Judah.    Levitical. 

HILKI'AH  (Jah's  portion).  Son  of  Shallum,  an- 
cestor of  Ezra  the  scribe  (Ezr.  vii.  1).  Josiah 
effected  the  great  reformation  in  his  time,  when 
the  book  of  the  law  of  Moses  (see  Deuteronomy 
in  History  of  the  Books)  was  found  in  the  temple, 
where  it  had  been  hidden  for  centuries.  Six  others 
of  this  name  were  of  little  note.

hight,  ascent;  Gr.  bourns,  mount;  heoreine,  moun-

HIN'NOM,  THE  VALLEY  OF  (Josh,  xviii.  16). 
On  the  S.  and  W.  of  Mt.  Zion.  The  origin  of 
the  name  is  unknown  (Jer.  vii.  31).  An  idol  of 
bronze  of  great  size  was  set  up  in  the  valley,  fac- 
ing OUvet,  where  children  were  sacrificed  in  the 
fire,  which  seems  to  have  been  kindled  inside  the 
idol.  Josiah  abolished  the  worship,  and  strewed 
human  bones  over  the  place,  making  it  unclean, 
and  thus  prevented  the  renewal  of  worship  there 
(2  K.  xxiii.  10).  These  inhuman  practices  gave 
the  place  a  horrible  character,  and  caused  its 
name  to  be  detested  and  used  as  a  figure  for  a 
place  of  torment.

HI'VITES.  Of  the  sons  of  Canaan.  See  Ham. 
They  lived  under  Hermon,  in  the  land  of  Mizpeh 
(Josh.  xi.  3),  and  in  Lebanon  as  far  as  Hamath 
(Judg.  iii.  3).  Jacob  bought  a  small  field  of  Ha- 
mor,  the  Hivite,  at  Shalem  near  Sheehem  (Gen 
xxxiii.  18,  xxxiv.  2).  Esau  married  Aholibamah, 
a  Hivite.  The  Hivites  of  Gibeon  made  a  treaty 
with  Joshua  by  a  deceit  (Josh.  ix.  3) ;  and  for  this 
act  they  were  condemned  to  the  temple  service.

EOTPTIAN   PKIESTS. 


Druses  wear  a  horn  on  the  head  for  ornament,  but

king,  or  a  god.

in  war  in  Scripture,  and  is  so  sculptured  on  the 
monuments  both  of  Egypt  and  AssjTia.  Job  gives 
a  most  elegant  description  of  a  war-horse  in  ch. 
xxxix.  19-25.  "An  horse  is  a  vain  thing  for  safety" 
(Ps.  xxxiii.  17),  said  the  poet  and  theprophet  also 
(Deut.  xvii.  16).  Solomon  disobeyed  the  letter 
and  spirit  of  the  prohibition  not  to  multiply  horses, 
and  his  successors  also.  Horses  are  used  as  sym- 
bols by  the  prophets,  as  in  Zech.  i.  8,  "a  man 
riding  on  a  red  horse;"  and  he  also  mentions 
speckled  (or  bay)  and  white  horses.  .John,  in  Rev. 
vi.,  saw  four  horses  go  forth:  white,  red,  black  and 
livid  (green),  indicating  the  spiritual  condition  of 
the  nations.  "UHiite  horses  are  an  emblem  of  tri- 
umph and  power.  Successful  generals  rode  in 
triumph  on  white  horses  (Rev.  xix.  11-15).

Verses  25  and  26  were  sung  with  loud  acclamation. 
"Hosanna  to  the  Son  of  David"  in  Matt.  xxi.  9.

(Deut.  xxxii.  44).  Oshea,  the  prophet.— 2.  The 
last  king  of  Israel  (Is.  vii.  16).  Shalmanezer, 
king  of  Assyria,  besieged  and  ended  the  kingdom 
of  Israel  B.  C.  721  (2  K.  xvii).— 3.  Son  of  Aza- 
ziah  (1  Chr.  xxvii.  30),  and  ruler  of  Ephraim.— 4. 
One  of  the  people  who  signed  the  covenant  (Neli. 
X.  23). 

HOSPITALITY.  One  of  the  chief  virtues  among 
the  Orientals,  and  it  is  most  highly  esteemed  on 
the  desert,  being  less  needed  and  less  valued  in  the 
towns.  The  ancient  Egyptians  limited  their  prac- 
tice to  their  own  people,  having  a  superstitious 
dread  of  all  foreigners.  The  O.  T.  is  full  of  allu- 
sions to  the  rites  and  the  divine  commands  for 
their  practice,  and  instances  of  the  national  belief 
of  the  Hebrews  in  their  value.  The  laws  of  Moses 
give  many  directions  for  special  cases,  as  with  the 
stranger,  "for  ye  were  strangers  in  the  land  of 
Egypt"  (Lev.  xix.  34),  the  poor,  and  the  traveler. 
To  break  the  law  was  a  very  great  offense,  as  in 
the  case  of  Benjamin  at  Gibeah  (Judg.  xiii  15,  xix, 
17-21).  The  good  Samaritan  stands  for  all  ages  as 
an  example  of  Christian  hospitality.  The  account 
of  Abraham  entertaining  the  three  angels  is  a  per- 
fect picture  of  how  a  modern  Bedawin  sheikh 
would  treat  a  traveler  in  our  day.  (See  Abra- 
ham). Oriental  respect  for  the  covenant  of  salt 
(and  bread)  is  a  part  of  the  law  of  hospitality. 
To  taste  another's  salt  is  to  make  yourself  his 
friend  for  the  time.  In  every  village  there  is  a  meicsil, 
inn,  for  the  use  of  travelers,  where  they  are  sup- 
plied with  food  by  certain  families  near  it.  No 
money  is  paid,  but  presents  may  be  made  equiva- 
lent to  the  value  of  the  articles  used.

HOUSE  (BETH,  to  pass  the  night).  A  dwelling  for 
man  or  cattle.  House,  tent,  palace,  tomb,  taber- 
nacle, temple;  heaven;  family.  The  houses  of  the 
rich  are  made  of  stone  with  two  or  more  stories 
arched  over  the  rooms  and  passage-ways,  with  fine 
stair-ways,  supplied  with  wide  galleries  or  veran- 
dahs, and  open  places  for  hght  and  air,  generally 
built  around  two  or  three  sides  of  a  court,  in  which 
is  a  fountain  or  pool  of  water.  The  wall  next  to 
the  street  is  usually  blank,  with  a  small 
door,  and  a  window  or  two,  high  up,  and 
latticed.  (See  Window).  The  door  often 
has  an  inscription,  seldom  the  name  of 
the  resident.  The  poor  hve  in  houses  of 
mud,  sun-dried,  usually  of  one  story, 
roofed  with  mud  laid  on  poles  which  are 
covered  with  grass  or  palm-leaves.  In 
the  rainy  season  the  rain  leaks  through 
(see  Dropping),  if  not  prevented  by 
rolling  the  mud  with  a  stone  roller. 
When  of  two  storys  the  lower  is  for  the 
use  of  animals  and  for  storage.  In  hot 
countries  people  sleep  on  the  roofs  under 
tents  of  cloth,  or  booths  of  branches.  The 
cool  of  the  evening  is  also  passed  on  the 
roof,  when  proclamation  is  made  by  the 
public  crier  of  any  command  of  the  ruler, 
or  news  of  any  public  kind.  It  is  also  a 
place  for  prayer.  Some  rooft  have 
vines  so  trained  as  to  form  a  shelter 
from  the  sun  or  neighbors.  The  space 
is  found  useful  for  drying  grain,  fruit, 
and  clothing  from  the  wash.  Stair- 
ways lead  from  the  roof  to  the  ground  in  the 
court  without  passing  into  the  house.  It  is  quite 
usual  to  build  pigeon-houses  of  bottles  on  the  bat- 
tlements, and  sparrows  build  their  own  nests  in 
any  comer  or  hole,  even  plugging  up  the  chimneys 
(Ps.  Ixxxiv.,  cii.  7),  and  are  caught  in  great  num- 
bers, being  almost  worthless  (Matt.  x.  29.)  Very 
large  houses,  convents,  and  inns,  have  several 
courts,  connected  by  j)assages.  South  of  Nablus 
(Shechem)  the  roof  is  supplied  with  domes  for 
lighting  and  enlarging  the  rooms  below.  The  up- 
per room  or  chamber  is  the  choice  place,  given  only 
to  strangers  or  friends  of  distinction.  The  sculp- 
tures in  Egypt  and  Assyria  present  houses  of  more 
than  one  story.  The  guest  room,  or  divan,  is  pro- 
vided with  seats  aU  around  the  room,  except  by  the 
doors,  like  wide,  low  sofas;  no  chairs  are  used. 
The  Romans  and  Greeks  used  chairs  and  reclining 
seats  or  sofas  around  the  table  at  banquets.  (See 
p.  33).  The  walls  are  often  ornamented  with  carv- 
ings of  wood,  and  sometimes  painted  in  beautiful 
patterns.  (See  Carpenter).  The  furniture  is 
mucli  more  simple  than  ours,  and  less  expensive, 
except  in  the  houses  of  the  rich.  (See  Corner- 
stone, Brick,  Koop). 

HUK'KOK  {incision),  (Josh.  xix.  34).  On  the 
south  border  of  Asher  and  Naphtali.  Yakuk,  in 
the  Wady  el  Amud.  An  ancient  Jewish  ti'adition 
locates  the  tomb  of  Habakkuk  here  (Benj.  of  Tu- 
dela,  ii.421). 

HTTL  {region) ,  (Gen .  x .  23) .  Second  son  of  Aram, 
grandson  of  Shem.  The  plain  or  valley  of  the  Jor- 
dan north  of  Lake  Merom  is  called  Ard  el  Huleh, 
and  the  lake's  most  ancient  name  is  Huleh,  and 
it  is  still  so  called  by  the  Arabs. 

HTJL'DAH  (w^as^Oi  a  prophetess  (2  K.  xxii.  14;  2

HUM  TAH  (liz(irds),  (Josh.  xv.  54).  Judah,  in 
the  hill  country. 

HUNTING.  The  Hebrews  were  not  given  to 
hunting,  except  for  the  protection  of  their  fields  or 
families  from  wild  beasts.  The  nauu's  of  many 
places  indicate  that  wild  game  was  ijlcntiful,  even 
to  a  degree  of  danger.  Thomson  {Laud  (uul  Book) 
says  it  is  still  plenty  in  some  places,  especially  in 
Galilee.

Greek  islands,  where  it  is  in  great  request  for  fat- 
tening hogs.  It  has  a  sweetish  pulp  when  tender. 
The  ripe  pods  (10  inches  long)  are  dry  and  have 
seeds  like  beans.  See  Honey.  The  leaves  are  like 
our  ash,  but  dark  and  glossy.  It  blo.ssoms  in  Feb- 
ruary and  the  pods  are  ripe  in  May. 

HUZ.  Nahor's  elder  son  (Gen.  xxii.  21)  "And 
Buz  his  brother. "  There  is  a  district  of  Kaseem, 
in  Arabia,  which  some  suppose  to  be  the  land 
of  Uz  (Job  i.  1).    See  Palgrave's  Journey  in  Aror

HYDAS'PES.  A  river  (Judith  i.  6),  in  connection 
with  the  Euphrates  and  Tigris.  Choaspes  of  Su- 
siana. 

HY'ENA.  Not  mentioned  by  name  in  the  O.  T. 
as  translated,  but  meant  in  the  original  by  the 
word  ZEBUA  (Ar.  dabba),  which  is  rendered 
streaked  bird  in  Jer.  xii.  9  (Hyena  in  the  Sept.). 
Valley  of  Zeboim  (hyenas  in  1  Sam.  xiii.  18).  It 
is  still  found  in  numbers,  ready  to  attack  wounded, 
dying,  or  dead  animals,  eat- 
ing all,  even  the  very  bones, 
its  jaws  being  most  powerful. 
Their  flesh  is  not  eaten,  hav- 
ing a  bad  odor. 

HYMENE'US  One  of  the 
earliest  Gnostics,  who  argued 
that  the  resurrection  was 
passed  already  (1  Tim.  i.  20; 
2  Tim.  ii.  17,  18). 

HYMN.  "In  psalms,  and 
hymns,  and  spiritual  songs. " 
The  Greek  word  Umnos,  or 
hximnos,  means  a  song  (in 
praise  of  Deity),  as  a  part 
of  worship,  and  there  are  sev- 
eral collections  of  such  as 
were  used  in  ancient  times, 
written  by  Callimachus,  Or- 
pheus, Homer,  Linus,  Sap- 
pho, and  others.  Jesus  and 
his  disciples  sang  a  hymn  be- 
fore going  out,  on  the  eve  of 
the  last  supper  (Matt.  xxvi. 
30).  The  words  used  are  sup- 
posed to  have  been  Ps.  cxv  ; 
cxviii,  called  the  Hallel.  Paul 
and  Silas  sang  hymns  in  pri- 
son at  Philippi  (Acts  xvi. 
25  ;  Gr.  huinnoun,  praises)  ; 
and  Paul  commends  their  use 
in  his  epistles  (Eph.  v.  19; 
Col.  iii.  16).  The  hymn  dif- 
fers from  the  psalm  in  thought 
and  composition.  The  dif- 
ferent meters  were  adopted 
from  the  Greek  models. 

HYSSOP  (ezor;  Gr.  hmso- 
pos).  The  Arabic  zuffi  is  a 
plant  growing  on  a  slender 
square  stem,  free  from  thorns, 
or  spreading  branches,  ending 
in  a  cluster  of  heads,  having 
a  pleasant  aromatic  odor,  growing  on  the  walls  in 
Palestine.  No  plant  in  the  East  is  better  fitted  for 
purposes  of  sprinkling.  Its  leaves  are  often  eaten 
(like  summer  savory)  with  bread.

ICO'NIUM  (Acts  xiii.  51).  Konieh,  a  large  city; 
is  on  a  table-land,  a  fertile  plain,  near  a  semicircle 
of  snow-capped  mountains  in  Asia  Minor.  This 
level  district  was  Lycaonia,  of  which  Cicero  says 
it  was  the  capital.  ]  t  was  on  the  route  leading  from 
Ephesus  to  Tarsus,  Antioch,  and  the  Euphrates. 
Here  Paul  was  stoned,  and  left  for  dead  (xiv.  19). 
The  city  is  built  out  of  the  ruins  of  the  ancient 
structures,  and  pieces  of  marble  columns,  capitals, 
and  carved  cornices  appear  everywhere  in  the  ma- 
sonry. It  is  now  quite  large,  the  residence  of  a 
pasha,  surrounded  with  beautiful  groves  and  gar- 
dens, well  watered,  and  the  resort  of  pilgrims  who 
visit  a  saint's  tomb.  In  the  middle  ages  it  was  the 
capital  of  the  Seljukian  Sultans,  and  is  caUed  the 
cradle  of  the  Ottoman  empire.  The  traditional 
story  of  Paul  and  Thecla  is  located  here.  (See

IDOL.  There  are  21  Hebrew  words  for  idols  or 
images  for  worship.  1.  aven,  noitfiht  (Bethel, 
house  of  God,  'B^l\\aven,  house  of  vanity) ,  nothing, 
iniquity ;  2.  elil,  no  god,  as  contrasted  with 
ELOHXM,  Ood;  3.  EMAH,  terror;  4.  miphletseth, 
horror  (Phallus,  the  productive  power  of  nature 
and  the  nature-goddess  Ashera;  Priapus);  5.  bo- 
SHETH,  shameful;  6.  gillulim,  filthy  gods;  7. 
SHTKKtfz,  imjhtrity;  8.  semel,  likeness;  9.  zelem. 


shadow;  10.  temtjhah,  model;  11.  atsab,  shape; 
12.  EZAB,  fashion;  13.  otseb,  figure;  14.  ziR,  a 
shape;  15.  mazzebah,  statue;  16.  chammanim, 
surir-images;  17.  maschith,  device;  18.  teraphim, 
idols  (see  Teraphim)  ;  19.  pesel,  carved  image; 
20.  PESiLiM,  graven  images  (quarries,  in  Judg.  iii. 
19, 26) ;  21.  NESEC,  molten  image;  massekah,  shaped 
in  a  mould.  These  various  terms  are  obscure,  be- 
cause very  little  material  has  come  down  to  us 
from  antiquity  which  fixes  the  form  of  these 
images.  Jeremiah  described  in  a  sarcastic  way 
how  these  so-called  gods  were  made,  but  he  did  not 
give  an  idea  of  the  particular  shape.  All  of  these 
terms  expressed  worthlessness  and  vanity,  con- 
tempt and  abhorrence. 

IDOLATEY  (TERAPHIM;  Gr.  idolatreia).  The 
worship  of  deity  made  visible,  whether  of  true  or 
false  ideas,  in  images,  pictures,  stars,  fire,  or  ideal 
statements,  as  shown  in  business  pm-suits  or  in 
pleasure,  or  for  honor,  where  self  is  preferred 
above  the  honor  and  glory  of  God.  Nearly  three 
in  four  of  all  the  human  race  are  open  idolaters; 
and  if  judged  by  the  strict  moral  sense  of  the  term, 
very  many  of  the  other  fourth  worship  self  rather 
than  God  (Col.  iii.  5).  By  the  Jewish  law  the 
idolater  was  to  be  stoned  to  death,  and  a  city  given 
up  to  it  was  to  be  wholly  destroyed,  with  all  it  con- 
tained (Deut.  xiii.  12,  xvii.  2).  The  laws  of  Moses 
imply  that  idolatry  was  known  to  him,  and  the 
paintings  and  sculptures  of  Egypt  prove  its  exist- 
ence there  before  the  time  of  Moses,  but  the  earli- 
est mention  in  the  Bible  is  in  the  incident  of  Kachel 
stealing  her  father's  teraphim  (images  in  Gen.  xxxi. 
19),  by  which  he  was  guided,  as  some  who  consult 
the  clairvoyant  or  other  "fortune-tellers"  of  our 
day  (a  species  of  idolatry  very  prevalent  among 
the  ignorant  and  superstitious).  The  story  of 
Mican  and  his  images  shows  how  widespread  the 
custom  was  in  the  age  succeeding  Joshua  and  the 
elders.  Solomon  did  much  to  encourage  idolatry 
of  many  kinds,  which  were  brought  into  the  coun- 
try by  his  foreign  wives  (1  K.  xi.  7;  2  K.  xxiii.  13). 


It  has  been  a  question  whether  the  Hebrews  did 

not  so  lapse  into  idolatry  as  to  lose  all  knowledge 
of  the  true  God.  They  lost  the  true  sound  of  his 
name,  for  which  we  now  substitute  Jehovah.  They 
may  have  only  mingled  foreign  rites  vdth  the  true 
worship,  as  many  pagan  ideas  are  now  adopted 
into  some  branches  of  the  Christian  Church.  We 
know  that  the  Hebrews  worshiped  the  sun  (Baal), 
moon  (Astarte,  Diana),  the  stars  (Ashtoreth,  Maz- 
zaloth  in  Job),  planets  Chiun  or  Kemphan  (Saturn, 
Acts  vii.  40-43),  and  made  representations  of  celes- 
tial bodies  or  ideas,  in  human  form,  for  worship,  as 
of  the  sun,  moon  and  stars  (Hera,  Diana,  see

(Samaritans  also)  had  a  system  of  ancestor- 
worship  (Asshur  and  others),  and  also  a  lower 
nature-worship,  inchiding  the  elements,  trees,  etc. 
The  scape-goat  of  the  Day  of  Atonement  is  a  re- 
cognition of  tlie  existence  of  Satan  (Typhon  in 
Egyptian  system),  but  was  not  a  worship  of  that 
being,  for  only  sins  were  sent  to  Azazel,  nothing 
choice  or  i)re('ious. 

The  Christian  Church  now  holds  that  God  Jias 
sanctioned  but  one  image,  which  was  made  by 
himself,  for  man's  worship,  which  is  th(;  intelli- 
gent, rational,  holy  nature  of  man,  which  a])pears 
ui  all  completeness  and  perfection  in  Jesus  the 
Christ,  and  is  rellected  in  his  followers  as  they 
have  more  or  less  received  the  spirit  of  the  gospel.

pretended  humility,  refused  to  do,  when  this  sign 
of  a  child  by  a  virgin  (virgin  is  a  young  woman), 
was  given,  and,  as  .some  think,  the  prophesy  was 
fulfilled  within  a  few  years,  and  others  look  on

life  (Ex.  XXX.  27).  The  mixtiu-e  is  said  to  have 
been  equal  parts  of  stacte,  onycha,  frankincense, 
galbanum.  The  altar  of  incense  was  placed  in 
front  of  the  veil,  from  which  on  the  great  Day  of 
Atonement  the  high-priest  could  raise  a  cloud  of 
perfume  wliich  covered  the  mercy-seat  (entered

India.  The  country  around  the  river  Indus,  now 
the  Punjaub,  which  Herodotus  describes  as  part  of 
Darius'  empire  (iii.  98).  At  a  later  period  it  was 
conquered  by  Alexander.  The  name  is  found  in 
the  inscriptions  at  Persepolis  (1  Mace.  viii.  8). 
Modern  India,  or  Hindostan,  is  more  extensive 
than  the  ancient.  The  articles  obtained  by  Solo-

mSPIEATION 


(xli.  17),  and  the  same  by  Luke,  where  Jesus  was 
born  (ii.  7).  The  Good  Samaritan  is  said  to  have 
left  money  (in  our  standard  about  $2.50)  to  pay 
charges  at  the  inn  (Luke  xxii).  The  inn  is  usually 
built  around  a  yard,  having  a  well  or  fountain,  and 
entered  by  a  gate  which  can  be  closed  against  in- 
truders at  night.  The  baggage  and  animals  occupy 
the  lower  rooms  and  the  people  the  upper  and  bet- 
ter chambers.  When  the  upper  rooms  were  full  of 
crowds  at  feast  times,  the  late  comers  would  be 
obliged  to  take  a  lower  room,  among  the  animals 
("in  the  manger")- 

INSPIRA'TION  (from  the  Latin,  i?i^breathmg). 
The  supernatural  mfluence  of  God's  spirit  on  the 
human  mind,  by  which  prophets,  apostles,  and 
other  sacred  writers  were  qualified  to  record  divine 
truth  without  error.  Others  hold  that  is  only  a 
divine  impression  on  the  mind,  by  which  the  un- 
derstanding is  informed.  "All  Scriptiu'e  is  given 
by  inspiration  of  God  "  (2  Tim.  iii.  16).

100),    in   fulfilment   of 
a  divine  promise  (Gen. 
xxi.    17;     Gal.   iv.    29). 
When  three  years  old, 
at  the  feast  made  on  the    day  he  was   weaned, 
he    was    mocked    by   Ishmael    with    pretended 
homage  (as  the  child  of  the  promise  and  type  of 
the  Messiah)  which  so  offended  his  mother  that 
his  half-brother  and  his  mother  Hagar  were  sent 
away  (Heb.  xi.  17;  James  ii.  20).    At  maturity  he 
almost  fell  a  victim  to  his  father's  faith  on  the  altar 
as  a  burnt-offering.     He  was  married  at  the  age  of 
40  to  his  beautiful  cousin  Kebekah,  but  was"  tor- 
mented with  jealous  fear  (as  his  father  was)  that 
some  powerful  chief  would  carry  her  oif  for  her 
beauty.    In  his  old  age  he  was  deceived  by  his 
wife  and  her  favorite  son  .Jacob,  who  got  from  him 
the  patriarchal  blessing  which  belonged  to  Esau  by 
birth-right.    At  the  age  of  60  his  two  sons,  Esau 
and  Jacob  were  born.     In  his  75th  year  he  and  his 
brother  Ishmael  buried  their  father  Abraham,  who 
died  at  Mamre,  in  the  cave  of  Machpelah,  beside

ral  places  are  mpiitioned  as  his  residence  for  a 
time.  When  his  father  died  he  was  at  Beer-lahai- 
roi,  from  wliicli  the  famine  drove  liim  to  Gerar, 
where  Abiinelech  put  him  in  fear  of  losing  liis 
wife,  when  lie  practiced  tlic  same  deception  tliat 
his  father  did  in  the  same  place  a  few  years  before. 
The  Philistines  envied  his  prosperity,  and  jealous 
of  his  increasing  power  (and  disliking  his  reli- 
gion?), tried  to  drive  him  out  by  filling  up  his 
wells;  l3ut  he  dug  new  ones.  One  of  those  which 
he  was  permitted  to  use  in  peace,  quite  a  distance 
from  Gerar,  he  named  Rehoboth  (roo7)i,  i.  e.,  room 
eiiffiuih  at  hist).  The  promise  to  Abraham  was  re- 
peated to  Isaac  at  Beersheba,  wliere  he  sunk  a 
well  as  a  memorial,  and  built  an  altar.  The  well 
remains,  but  the  altar  has  disappeared.  He  made 
peace  with  Abimelech  there  also,  and  dug  another 
well  as  a  memorial  (well  of  the  oath).  His  first 
great  grief  was  the  undutiful  conduct  of  his  son 
Esau  in  marrying  two  young  Canaanite  women. 
His  eyesight  failed  many  years  before  his  death; 
but  he  lived  to  enjoy  the  return  to  him  at  Hebron 
of  Jacob,  with  his  large  family  and  great  wealth 
m  flocks  and  herds.  He  died  at  the  age  of  180, 
and  was  buried  beside  his  father,  in  tlie  cave  of 
Machpelah,  by  his  sons  Esau  and  Jacob.  His 
character  is  very  severely  criticised,  especially  for 
the  denial  of  his  wife  at  Gerar,  and  so  exposing 
her  to  danger;  and  in  allowing  Jacob  to  enjoy 
the  fruit  of  his  deception.  He  was  a  gentle  and 
dutiful  son,  and  a  faitliful  and  constant  husband 
of  one  wife.

egan  to  reign,  and  reigned  two  years  at  Maha- 
naim,  while  Abner  was  contending  with  David's 
generals  (2  Sam.  iii.  10).  He  fell  a  victim  to  revenge 
for  some  crime  of  his  father,  but  David  punished 
the  murderers.

of  Appaim  (1  Chr.  ii.  31).— 2.  Son  of  Zoheth  (iv.

name. 

ISHI'Ah  (whom  Jah  lends).  The  last  one  of  Izra- 
hiah's  five  sons,  a  chief  in  David's  time  (1  Clir.

(Ezr.  x.  ;5i). 

ISH'MA  (loasie).  A  descendant  of  Etam  (1  Chr. 
iv.  ;i).  ill  the  line  of  Judah. 

ISH'MAEL  (■whom  Ood  hears).  Son  of  Abraham 
and  Hagar  (Gen.  xvi.  15,  16).  First-born  of 
tlie  patriarch.  Born  at  Mamre,  but  was  sent 
into  the  wilderness  south  of  Beersheba,  Paran, 
when  he  was  16  years  old.  He  had  a  wife  from 
Egypt  (xxi.  21),  who  was  mother  of  his  12  sons, 
besides  a  daughter.  Esau  married  his  daughter. 
His  sons  were  Nebajoth,  Kedar,  Abdeel,  Mibsam, 
Mishma,  Dumah,  Massa,  Hadar,  Tenia,  Jetur,  Na^ 
phish,  and  Kedeina.  The  Arabic  historians  divide 
the  Arabs  into  two  races:  1.  Pure  Arabs,  descend- 
ants of  Joktan;  and  2.  Mixed  Arabs,  descendants 
of  Ishmael.  Like  the  sons  of  Isaac  his  brother,  or 
rather  Jacob,  Ishmael's  sons  were  founders  of 
tribes,  some  of  which  are  known  in  history  by  their 
names;  and  "they  dwelt  from  Ilavilah  unto  Shur 
that  is  before  Egypt"  (Gen.  xxv.  18).  Tlieir  lan- 
guage is  spoken  all  over  Arabia,  with  very  few 
exceptions,  and  is  tlie  same  in  all  rules  and  idioms 
now  as  in  most  ancient  times;  and  the  poetical,  or 
rhyming,  and  the  current  language,  are  one  and 
the  same,  with  a  different  arrangement  of  words 
only.  The  prophesy,  "  He  shall  be  a  wild  ass  of  a 
man,  his  hand  against  every  man,  and  every  man's 
hand  against  Mm,"  is  now  and  ever  has  been  true; 


and  also  the  other  saying,  Ishmael  "  shall  dwell  in 
the  presence  of  all  his  brethren,"  for  they  have 
always  been  free.  The  desert  is  called  in  Arabic, 
Bedu,  and  the  genuine  Arab  calls  himself  Bedawee 
(desert-man),  Bedawin  (desertrtnen) .  4000  years 
have  not  clianged  their  disposition,  manners,  hab- 
its, occupation,  government,  or  dress.

Chr.  xxvii.  10).

ISRAEL,  KINGDOM  OF.  The  ten  tribes  whicli 
were  divided  to  Jeroboam  by  the  prophet  Ahijah 
of  Shiloh  (1  K.  xi.  31,  35),  leaving  Judah  alone  to 
the  house  of  David ;  Benjamin,  Simeon,  and  Dan 
joining  Judah  afterward.  Shechem  was  the  first 
capital  (1  K.  xii.  25);  TiKZAHthe  second  (xiv.  17); 
and  Samakia  the  third.  Jezreel  was  occasionally 
a  royal  residence.  The  holy  cities  were  Dan  (Pa- 
neas)  and  Bethel.  The  population  was  at  one  time 
over  3  millions,  if  the  number  in  the  armies  is  cor- 
rect as  given  in  2  Chr.  xiii.  3.  The  area  of  the  whole 
covmtry,  in  the  time  of  Solomon,  occupied  by  the 
twelve  tribes,  was  12,810  sq.  ms.,  of  which  9,375 


belonged  to  Israel  and  3,435  to  Judah.  New  Hamp- 
shire lias  about  9,000  sq.  ms.  Ephraim  and  Judah 
had  always  been  rivals,  and  were  nearly  matched 
in  numbers  from  the  first,  and  the  two  largest  of 
the  twelve.  For  three,  or,  perhaps,  nearly  four 
centuries,  the  ark  was  in  the  territory  of  Ephraim, 
at  Shiloh,  until  the  time  of  Eh.  But  when  the  theo- 
cracy was  superseded  by  the  kingdom,  Saul,  the 
king,  was  a  Benjamite,  and  Solomon,  the  son  of 
David,  of  Judah ;  but  Jeroboam,  the  leader  of  the 
revolt,  was  an  Ephraimite,  and,  before  Solomon's 
death  was  accused  of  treason,  and  fled  to  Egypt. 
The  burdensome  taxes  of  Solomon's  reign  probably 
hastened,  if  it  did  not  cause  the  revolt  of  tlie  ten 
tribes ;  and  the  death  of  Solomon  was  the  notice 
for  Jeroboam's  return,  and  the  establishment  of 
the  new  kingdom  of  Israel,  B.  C.  975.  This  was 
the  most  important  event,  and  the  greatest  misfor- 
tune, since  Joshua  crossed  the  Jordan.  Some  of 
the  mistakes  which  were  fatal  were :  The  driving 
out  of  the  Levites  from  their  possessions,  for 
they  carried  with  them  their  sacred  charac- 
ter and  powerful  support  of  the  king ;  the 
alliance  with  the  kings  of  Egypt  and  Da- 
niascus;  the  marriage  of  Ahab  with  Jeze- 
bel, of  Phoenicia.  The  want  of  a  system  of 
union  among  the  tribes  composing  the  king- 
dom, and  the  presence  of  a  large  number 
of  slaves,  were  other  elements  of  weak- 
ness. The  Phihstines  took  some  towiis; 
Damascus  took  its  chances  for  plunder  and 
revenge;  Edom  and  Moab  rescued  them- 
selves; and  Assyria,  after  many  visits  to  the 
once  rich  and  prosperous  country,  finally 
carried  away  the  gleanings  of  so  many  years 
of  religious  decline,  moral  debasement,  na- 
tional degradation,  anarchy,  bloodshed,  and 
deportation. 

IS'RAELITE.  Descendant  of  Israel.  He- 
brew.   Jew  (2  Sam.  xvii.  25). 

IS'SACHAR  (hire),  (Gen.  xxx.  17),  (Heb. 
isascar).  Ninth  son  of  Jacob  and  fifth  son 
of  Leah,  He  is  not  mentioned  again  as  a 
person — his  name  only,  as  the  name  of  a 
tribe.  In  the  order  of  march  in  the  desert, 
Issachar's  place  was  on  the  east  of  the 
tabernacle,  with  Judah  and  Zebulon.  Only 
the  tribes  of  Judah  and  Dan  outnumbered 
them  at  the  passage  of  the  Jordan,  Issachar 
having  64,300  fighting  men.  (For  location, 
see  map  of  the  Twelve  Tribes).  Its  location 
and  boundaries  are  recorded  in  Josh.  xix. 
17-23.  Its  land  was  and  is  now  the  richest 
in  Palestine.  Esdraelon,  the  plain  (called 
Jezreel,  the  seed-plot  of  God,  on  account  of 
its  rich  soil),  Mt.  Tabor,  and  Gilboa  were  in 
its  border,  and  the  river  Kishon  ran  through 
it.  Jacob  blessed  Issachar  in  the  image  of 
"a  strongboned  he-ass,  couching  down  be- 
tween two  hedgerows,"  which  is  a  picture 
of  contented  ease  and  quiet.  When  David 
took  the  census,  near  the  close  of  his  reign, 
Issachar  had  87,000,  of  whom  36,000  were 
mercenary  "bands."  Shalmaneser  carried 
the  tribe  captive  to  Assyria .  It  was  not  known 
as  a  tribe  after  the  return.  We  are  left  to 
suppose  that  the  tribe  fell  into  idolatry, 
because  there  is  nothing  recorded  in  favor  of  its 
religious  history. — 2.  The  seventh  son  of  Obed 
Edom  (1  Chr.  xxvi.  5). 

ISSHI'AH  (Jah  lends).  Ishiah.  Jesiah.  1. 
Descendant  of  Moses  (1  Chr.  xxiv.  21).— 2.  A 
Levite  (xxiv.  25).    Jesiah  2. 

IS'SITE,  RUNNING.  The  law  for  males  is  in  Lev. 
XV.  1-15  ;  that  for  females  in  verses  19-31.  It  is 
supposed  that  the  disease  intended  in  men  (gonor- 
rhoea) arose  from  over-use  or  impure  connection; 
and  that  in  woman,  the  natural  monthly  purifica- 
tion of  nature.

diers recruited  in  Italy.  Kouie  was  the  capital  of 
the  Kouian  Euipire.  The  church  was  planted  in 
Italy  very  early,  since  th(^  Epistle  to  the  Romans 
was  written  oiiiy  about  25  years  after  the  cruci- 
fixion, when  a  large  number  of  Jews  mu.st  have 
been  there.  From  that  day  to  this  it  has  been 
the  seat  of  civil  and  relijiioiis  power,  with  many 
fortunes  of  revolution  and  persecution,  the  church 
always  ijrofitiuc;,  in  all  ages,  so  far  as  increasing  in

his  wanderings.  He  seems  to  liave  had  equal 
command  afterwards  with  Joab  and  Abishai,  at 
Mahanaim  (2  Sam.  xviii.  2).  Tradition  says  Ittai 
took  the  crown  from  the  head  of  the  idol  Milcom.

all  ancient  people.

a  throne  of  ivory  (1  K.  v.  18),  overlaid  (inlaid) 
with  gold.  The  tusk  of  the  African  elephant 
sometimes  weighs  120  pounds,  and  measures  10

city  in  the  half-tribe  of  Manasseh,  6  miles  from 
Peila,  now  called  Ed  Deir,  on  Wady  Yabis.  It  did 
not  send  its  contingent  against  Benjamin  (Jvidg. 
xxi.  8) ,  and  was  punished  by  the  destruction  of  all 
its  people  but  400  young  women,  who  were  given 
to  the  Benjaniites  for  wives.  Nahash  attacked  it 
(1  Sam.  xi.),  but  Saul  came  to  the  rescue.  When 
the  bodies  of  Saul  and  his  sons  hung  on  the  walls 
of  Betlishan,  the  valiant  men  of  Jabesh  Gilead

burnt  Jabin's  city.— 2.  King  of  Hazor,  in  the  time 
of  the  Judges,  who  lived  in  the  same  city  of  Hazor 
(rebuilt),  raised  an  army  against  Israel,  and  was 
defeated,  etc.  Some  have  thought  that  the  two 
accounts  were  of  one  event,  or  of  two  victories 
over  one  Jabin:  one  by  Joshua  and  another  by 
Barak,  but  it  is  more  probable  that  there  were  two 
kings  of  that  name,  asrecoi'ded,  and  there  were  150 
years  between  the  two  kings. 

JAB'NEEL  (El  builds).    In  Judah,  near  the  sea,

JA'COB  (supplan- 
ted') .  Esau  and  Jacob 
were  twins,  sons  of 
Rebekah,  wife  of 
Isaac,  born  B.  C.  1836, 
at  the  well  Lahai-roi. 
Jacob  was  the  favor- 
ite of  his  mother,  and 
was  a  shepherd.  He 
bought  the  birthright 
of  his  elder  brother 
Esau  (at  an  unfair 
price  in  his  brother's 
distress)  and  got  the 
patriarchal  blessing  from  his  father  by  a  stratagem, 
in  which  he  was  aided  by  his  mother.  This  bless- 
ing was  material  only,  and  did  not  include  the  spir- 
itual promises.  His  quiet  life  ended  when,  at  the 
age  of  78  he  was  obliged  to  leave  home,  and  was 
sent  to  Padan-Aram  to  find  a  wife  among  his  moth- 
er's relatives.  On  the  way  there  he  had  the  dream 
of  the  ladder  reaching  from  earth  to  heaven,  at 
Bethel.  Isaac  had  repeated  his  blessing  when  he 
left  liome,  with  the  addition  of  the  spiritual  prom- 
ises made  to  Abraham,  and  they  were  confirmed  in 
the  dream  at  Bethel.  (Jacob  seems  to  have  thought 
only  of  a  local  God  who  lived  at  Bethel,  with  wiiom 
he  was  disposed  to  make  a  baro:ain  for  service  on 
conditions).  The  beautiful  incident  of  the  meeting 
of  Jacob  with  Rebekah  at  the  well  exhibits  the 
pure  and  simple  habits  of  the  time,  and  the  courtesy 
and  kindness  so  native  to  those  who  follow  the 
shepherd's  life.  Laban  drove  a  very  hard  and 
shrewd  bargain  with  Jacob,  compelling  him  to 
serve  14  years  for  Raclael  and  marry  Leah  besides, 
but  this  was  repaid  by  Jacob  in  his  sharp  practice 
in  making  himself  rich  in  "  much  cattle, "  by  skilful 
management.  At  the  age  of  nearly  100  he  returned 
to  Canaan,  and  on  the  way  his  name  was  changed 
from  Jacob  to  Israel  (God's  soldier)  at  Peniel, 
where  he  met  his  brother  Esau,  who  was  then  a 
kind  of  Bedawin  wanderer,  such  as  now  roam  over 
the  same  district,  although  Esau  appeared  to  be 
much  the  better  man  of  the  two. 

The  images  (gods)  that  Rachel  stole  from  her 
father's  house,  were  small  figures  of  certain  de- 
signs,   (Teraphim),    such   as   are   often   found

buried  among  the  ruins  in  Palestine,  and  were 
used  in  Pagu"  worship.  Tlie  value  put  on  them  by 
Labau  sliows  how  little  real  knowledge  he  had  of 
the  true  God.  Jacob  stayed  awhile  at  yheehem, 
where  he  buried  under  a  sacred  tree  the  stolen  im- 
ages; and  also  at  Bethel  where  he  built  an  altar. 
Wliile  on  the  way  to  Hebron,  where  his  father  was, 
his  son  Benjamin  was  born,  and  the  mother,  IJachel, 
died  and  was  burled  near  Bethlehem,  where  a  tomb 
preserves  her  memory  to  this  day. 

Esau  and  Jacob  met  again  at  Hebron,  when  they 
buried  their  father  Isaac. 
Soon  after  this  Joseph  was  sold  into  Egypt, 
Jacob  was  living  at  Hebron  with  his  eleven  sons, 
when  a  famine  brought  about  the  migration  to 
Egypt  (see  Joseph),  where  he  was  assigned  a 
home  in  the  pasture  land  of  Goshen,  by  the  Pha- 
raoh, and  where  he  died,  aged  130  (U7).  His  body 
was  borne  to  the  cave  of  Machpelah,  and  laid  in 
the  tomb  with  those  of  Abraham,  Sarah  and  Isaac. 
The  blessing  that  Jacob  gave  his  sons  was  a  proof 
that  his  faith  in  God's  promise  was  strong — had 
increased — and  that  his  idea  of  the  true  God  had 
become  clearer  and  more  elevated.  It  is  full  of 
fine  thoughts,  poetic  language,  and  abounds  in  the 
most  beautiful  images.

JA'EL  (climber,  Ibex).  Wife  of  Heber  (of  the 
family  of  llobab),  the  Kenite,  a  sheikh  of  a  Beda- 
win  tribe,  who  had  pitched  his  tent  under  an  oak, 
called  on  that  account  "oak  of  the  wanderers" 
(plain  of  Zaanalm  in  Judg.  iv.  11),  near  Kedesh- 
Naphtali  (IIkbek,  Elon).  When  his  army  was 
routed,  Sisera  fled  in  another  direction,  away  from 
the  flying  host,  and  sought  safety  in  the  woman's 
private  tent,  where  he  would  have  been  safe, 
under  Jael's  cloak,  if  the  woman  herself  had  not 
betrayed  him,  which  she  did  do,  killing  him  with 
one  of  the  tent-pins.  God's  judgment  on  Sisera 
was  celebrated  in  the  song  of  Deborah,  but  not 


JACOB  S    WELL. — SHECHEM. 


JACOB'S  WELL.  Is  in  a  low  spur  of  Mt.  Gerizim, 
at  the  mouth  of  the  valley  of  Shechem.  "  Formerly 
there  was  a  square  hole  opening  into  a  carefully 
built  vaulted  chamber,  10  ft.  sq.,  in  the  floor  of 
which  was  the  true  mouth  of  the  well.  Now  a  part 
of  the  vault  has  fallen  in,  and  completely  covered 
up  the  mouth,  so  that  it  looks  like  a  shallow  pit." 
The  well  is  9  feet  diameter,  circular,  cut  through 
limestone  rock  nearly  100  feet  deep.  It  sometimes 
has  water  in  it,  but  is  often  quite  drj^.  There  was 
a  small  church  over  it  in  the  4th  century,  and  to 
the  south-west  there  are  a  few  shapeless  ruins  still 
left.

JAHATH 


142 


JAMES 


The  plural  is  used  in  Hebrew  to  enlarge  and  inten- 
sify the  idea  expressed  by  the  singular.  Elohim 
is  not  the  yuck,  but  is  the  strongest  of  all  strong 
beings,  the  fullness  of  divine  perfections,  the  sum 
of  all  the  powers  of  all  imaginable  gods.  There 
is  nothing  in  tliis  name  either  for  against  the  idea 
of  a  trinity.  That  belongs  to  the  New  Testament 
age.  Tlie  unity  of  Uod  was  guarded  with  the 
utmost  jealousy  against  idolatrous  polytheists 
(Deut.  vi.  4,  xxxii.  39;  Is.  xliv.  6).  The  word  was 
often  used  for  the  heathen  gods  and  other  ideas  of 
divinity  (Ps.  viii.  6,  xcvii.  7),  as  angels;  and  also 
to  the  rulers  and  judges  of  Israel  (Ex.  xxii.  9,  28), 
and  God  (Elohim)  is  said  to  judge  among  the 
rulers  (Elohim  in  Ps.  Ixxxii.  1).  All  true  sons  of 
Israel  were  called  sons  of  God  (Elohim,  John  x. 
35).  The  Cainites  claimed  to  be  "sons  of  God" 
in  distinction  from  the  Sethites,  who  took  the  more 
humble  name  of  "  sons  of  Adam,"  or  "  sons  of  the 
Man  "  (Gen.  vi.  4).  The  pecuhar  name  of  God  in 
relation  to  the  covenant,  is— 3.  Jehovah;  but  in 
reading  the  JScriptures  the  Jews  always  pronounced 


BOAT  OF  THE  NILE. 


the  word  adonai,  which  is  Lord.  The  vowel 
points  now  in  use  were  not  invented  for  centuries 
after  the  Hebrew  ceased  to  be  a  living  language, 
so  that  the  true  pronounciation  of  the  name  Jeho- 
vah was  lost,  and  the  word  was  written  yhvh,  and 
pronounced  Adonai  or  Elohim.  The  vowel  points 
of  Adonai  (rtDoNai)  were  placed  in  Jehovah 
'  ( jfflHc^van) ,  but  this  is  not  found  in  the  old  copies, 
and  not  older  than  about  1500  A.  D.  Diodorus 
Siculus  gives  the  Greek  iao  for  the  Hebrew  jhvh. 
The  meaning  of  Jehovah  is  underived  existence, 
He  is,  or  I  am  because  I  am,  the  God  of  Abra- 
ham, of  grace,  and  truth,  and  love;  self-existence, 
eternity.  Elohim  is  God  in  nature,  Jehovah  is 
God  in  grace.  (The  temple  of  Isis,  at  Sais,  had 
this  inscription:  "I  am  all  that  has  been,  that  is, 
and  that  will  be,"  meaning  Isis,  the  iiniversal 
motlier. )  The  word  Jehovah  is  supposed  to  mean 
YAHU,  joy;  YAH,  pa^7^/— the  God  of  good  and  evil. 
See  History,  page  xiv.  In  Greek,  the  word  is — 
4.  Theos,  any  deity,  idol,  or  the  true  God  (Matt, 
i.  23),  and  Satan  (God  of  this  world).— 5.  KuRios, 
Lord  in  Matt.  i.  20;  and  in  the  Septuagint  as  the 
translation  of  Jehovah ;  also  of  a  man,  a  lord. 

JA'HATH  (union).  1.  Son  of  Libni  (1  Chr.

JAMES.  Three  persons  are  mentioned  by  this 
name  in  the  N.  T.  The  original  form  of  the  name 
in  Hebrew  is  Jacob,  and  is  so  called  now  by  the 
chtirch  in  the  East;  St.  Jacob  (Mar  Tacoob).  The 
name  has  passed  through  several  changes,  through 
many  languages.  It  was  in  Greek,  lakobos;  Latin, 
Jacobus;  Italian,  lacomo,  orGiacomo,  and  Jacopo;

brother  John,  was  called  by  Jesus  to  be  his  disci- 
ple (Mark  i.  20).  His  father  owned  a  boat  (ship) 
and  employed  help.  On  another  occasion  he,  his 
brother  John,  with  Simon  and  Andrew,  were  di- 
rected by  Jesus,  and  caught  a  very  large  number 
of  fish  at  one  haul,  whicn  was  explained  by  the

(iival  Teacher  to  mean  that  they  all  should  become 
successful  fishers  of  men.  Jauies  was  uumbercd 
with  the  12,  amoiif;  the  first  4.  lie  was  always  se- 
lected for  any  sjjeciai  duty.  I  le  was  present  at  the 
raising  of  Jairus'  dauuhter  (Mark  i.  2!));  one  of 
the  three  on  theMt.  of  Transfiguration  (Matt,  xviii. 
1);  one  of  the  4  who  heard  the  sermon  on  the  last 
days  (Mark  xiii.  3);  and  one  of  3  in  Gethsemane 
(Matt.  xxvi.  37).  lie  joined  his  brother  John  in 
the  reciuest  that  fire  should  be  called  down  on  the 
Samaritans  (Luke  ix.  54);  and  in  the  ambitious 
request,  with  their  mother,  to  sit  nearest  to  Christ 
in  his  kingdom  (Matt.  xx.  20).  These  requests 
were  refused  with  indignation  by  Jesus,  and  they 
were  named  Boanerges  (Mark  ii.  17).  They  were 
at  the  Feast  of  Pentecost.  He  was  a  man  of  very 
resolute  purpose  and  detei'mined  action,  and  was 
given  a  high  position  among  the  ajiostles  (Acts 
xii.  2) ;  and  he  is  the  only  one  of  the  12  whose  death 
is  recorded,  which  took  place  about  10  years  after 
the  crucifixion. 

2.  James  the  Lord's  Brother.  The  children 
of  Joseph  and  Mary  were  Jesus,  James,  Joses, 
Jude  (Judas),  Simon,  and  three  daughters  whose 
names  are  not  given  (Matt.  xiii.  55,  56;  Gal.  i.  19, 
ii.  9, 12).  His  brethren  did  not  believe  in  Jesus  as 
the  Christ  at  the  first  (John  vit.  5),  and  some  of 
tliem  not  until  a  few  days  before  the  Day  of  Pente- 
cost (1  Cor.  XV.  7).  James  occupied  a  prominent 
position  among  the  apostles,  and  was  surnamed 
"the  Just."  James  and  Peter  seem  to  have  been 
in  authority  on  equal  terms  when  Paul  was  admit- 
ted to  the  fellowship  of  the  apostles  on  the  word  of 
Barnabas  (Acts  ix.  27;  Gal.  i.  18),  and  after  that 
time  he  acts  as  the  president  of  the  council  in  Jeru- 
salem (Acts  xii.  17,  XV.  13),  whose  decrees  he 
delivered  formally,  a  position  recognized  and  re- 
corded by  Paul  (Gal.  ii.  9) ,  and  honored  by  a  formal 
visit  of  ceremony  in  the  presence  of  all  the  presby- 
ters (Acts  xxi.  18).  He  is  believed  to  have  been 
appointed  Bishop  of  Jerusalem  by  Jesus  in  a  vision, 
as  is  reported  by  Epiphanius  and  others  of  the 
early  historians  of  the  Churcih,  only  that  Eusebius 
says  the  appointment  was  by  the  apostles.  Hege- 
sippus,  a  Jewish  disciple  in  the  2d  century,  gives 
the  most  minute  and  interesting  account,  in  which 
he  is  described  as  the  brother  of  Jesus,  holy  from 
the  womb,  drinking  neither  wine  nor  spirits,  nor 
eating  animal  food,  and  wearing  both  his  hair  and 
whiskers  without  shaving  (but  with  trimming), 
and  he  avoided  the  use  of  perfumes  and  ceremoni- 
ous bathing,  and  wore  only  hnen  clothes.  He  was 
a  very  constant  attendant  on  the  services  in  the 
temple,  and  prayed  "on  his  knees"  for  the  salva- 
tion of  the  people,  so  that  he  was  looked  upon  as 
the  "bulwark  of  the  church,"  and  it  is  said 
that  "all  who  became  believers  believed  through 
James."  This  same  authority  relates  that  he  was 
thrown  from  the  gable  of  the  temple  to  the  ground, 
and  then  stoned  to  death,  shortly  before  the  siege 
of  Jerusalem.  See  the  History  for  the  Epistle 
OF  James.  The  question  of  the  relation  of  James 
to  Jesus  is  referred  to  the  article  ;Mary. 

3.  James  the  Son  of  Alph^us  (Clopas),  and 
Mary  (John  xix.  25),  one  of  the  apostles  (Matt.  x. 
3;  >fark  iii.  18,  etc.),  (Matt,  xxvii.  56;  ]Mark  xv. 
40),  and  is  also  called  James  the  Less.  He  had  a 
brother  named  Joses,  and  a  sister  Salome.  The 
occurrence  of  the  same  name  in  the  mother  and 
children  of  two  families  does  not  argue  a  relation, 
rather  the  contrary,  and  it  is  not  likely  that  these 
were  relatives  of  Jesus.    See  Mary. 

JA'MIN  {rifiht  hand).  Son  of  Simeon,  founder 
of  the  Jaminites  (Gen.  xlvi.  10).— 2.  Son  of  Ram

gicians who  imitated  JSIoses.  Their  names  were 
given  by  Paul  only  (2  Tim.  iii.  8,  9).  The  origin 
of  the  names  is  oljscure.  Jannes  may  be  Greek 
for  the  Egyi)tian  A  an  (Ian),  two  kings  having  that 
name  (meaning  eallcy),  one  of  which  lived  before 
Joseph.  It  is  supposed  that  Paul  found  the  names 
in  some  history  (or  tradition),  now  lost.

ley which  slopes  toward  the  Jordan,  a  small  village

JA'SHER,  THE  BOOK  OF  {book  of  the  'wprigU). 
A  boolv  of  lieroic  poetry  and  history  mentioned  in 
tvs^o  places  in  tlie  O.  T.  (Josh.  x.  13,  and  2  Sam.  i. 
18),  and  probably  a  book  of  songs  and  eulogies  of 
distinguished  men  in  Israel.  The  Vvdgate  has 
"the  book  of  the  just  one;"  the  Septuagint,  "the 
book  of  the  upright  one;"  the  Syriac,  "the  book 
of  praises,"  or  "psalms."  There  is  an  English 
forgery  of  1751  (Bristol,  1829).  The  original  was 
prooably  published  first  in  the  time  of  Josliua,  and 
again  in  David's  reign  with  additions.  A  scheme 
was  started  for  gathering  the  supposed  fragments 
of  this  woi-k  from  the  various  books  of  the  O.  T. 
The  supposed  plan  of  the  work  is  that  it  was  writ- 
ten to  supply  a  popular  demand  in  Solomon's 
time,  and  its  object  was  to  show  that  God  made 
man  upright,  but  carnal  wisdom  led  him  away 
from  the  law  (spiritual  wisdom),  when  the  He- 
brews were  chosen  to  keep  the  law;  David  was 
made  (perpetual)  king  for  his  religious  integrity. 
The  compiler  named  is  the  prophet  Nathan,  and 
it  contained  the  pith,  or  marrow  of  the  religious 
system  of  the  Hebrews.   This  is  only  a  conjecture.

JASHO'BEAM  {return).  Son  of  Zabdiel  (1  Chr.

Elimelech;  Joash  and  Saraph  are  Mahlon  and 
Chilion,  who  had  the  dominion  in  Moab  from  mar- 
rying the  two  girls;  Jashubi-Lehem  is  Noomi  and

Jews  by  building  a  gymnasium  on  the  Greek 
model  in  Jerusalem,  which  even  the  priests  attended 
to  the  neglect  of  their  duties  (2  Mace.  iv.  9),  and 
by  sending  a  deputation  to  the  games  in  honor  of 
Hercules  at  Tyre.  Menelaus  supplanted  him  by

xi.  3).  "The  king  was  killed  at  Bethhoron  (x.  1,  5, 
xii.  10);  a  part  of  it  was  taken  and  burned  by 
Judah  (Judg.  i.  21),  but  the  citadel  held  out  for 
300  years,  until  David's  time  (2  Sam.  v.  6).  Arau- 
nah,  the  Jebusite,  is  made  immortal  by  his  dealing 
with  David.  The  remnant  of  the  tribe  was  made

EARTHEN  LAMP. 


JEHOI'ADA  (Jah  favors).  1.  Father  of  Benaiah, 
David's  general  (2  Sam.  viii.  18).  He  was  also 
chief -priest,  and  leader  of  3,700  Aaronites  who 
joined  David  at  Hebron  (1  Chr.  xii.  27).— 2.  Son 
of  Benaiah,  who  succeeded  Ahithophel  as  coun- 
selor to  David— unless  there  is  an  error  in  position 
and  Benaiah  is  meant.— 3.  High-priest  at  the  time 
of  Athaliah's  usurpation,  and  in  Joash's  reign,  B. 
C.  884-878.  He  succeeded  Amariah.  Married  Je- 
hosheba,  daughter  of  king  Jelioram,  and  sister  of 
king  Ahaziah  (2  Chr.  xxii.  11).  He  stole  Joash 
when  Athaliah  killed  all  the  other  royal  line  of  Ju- 
dah, and  hid  him  6  years  in  the  Temple,  finally 
placing  him  on  the  throne. — 4.  2d  priest  (sagan) 
to  Seraiah  the  h.-p.,  and  was  deposed  for  friendship 
to  the  prophet  Jeremiah  (Jer.  xxix.  25-29). — 5. 
Son  of  Paseah,  who  repaired  the  Old  Gate  at  Jeru- 
salem (Neh.  iii.  6). 

JEHOI'AKIM  (Jah  appoints).  19th  king  of  Ju- 
dah (B.  C.  609-598),  25  years  old  at  his  accession. 
He  was  first  named  Eliakim,  and  was  the  son  of 
Joash  and  Zebudah,  but  Pharaoh  Necho  changed 
his  name  when  he  made  him  king  in  his  brother 
Jehoahaz's  stead  (2  K.  xxiii.  33),  who  died  in 
Egypt,  in  captivity  (v.  34),  and  he  also  collected  a 
heavy  fine  ($200,000)  from  Judah  for  Josiah's  part 
with  Babylon  against  Egypt.  The  battle  at  Car- 
chemish  ended  the  rule  of  Egypt  in  Palestine  for 
that  time,  and  Nebuchadnezzar  besieged  and  took 
Jerusalem,  and  carried  some  of  the  royal  family  to 
Babylon  as  hostages,  among  whom  were  Daniel 
and  his  three  companions.  The  prophets  Jeremiah 
and  Ezekiel  warned  the  king  and  people  of  the  re- 


sults of  their  idolatries,  but  instead  of  repenting 
they  burned  Jeremiah's  prophesy,  put  him  in  prison 
and  drove  Urijah  the  prophet  into  Egypt,  where 
he  was  killed,  aud  his  corpse  treated  in  a  barbarous 
manner  (Jer.  xxvi.  21-23;  xxxvi.).  According  to 
the  warnings  of  Ezekiel  (xvii.)  and  Jeremiah 
(ii.  xxvii.),  enemies  attacked  them  on  all  sides  (2 
K.  xxiv.  7);  the  king  lost  his  life,  and  was  buried 
without  honor  (Jer.  xxii.  18,  19).  The  king  of 
Babylon  came  in  a  few  weeks  after  his  death  and 
carried  his  son  and  all  the  best  men  and  their  fami- 
nes and  treasures  to  Babylon.  This  act  of  the  king 
in  burning  Jeremiah's  book  was  the  first  recorded 
attack  on  the  liberty  of  the  public  press,  and  it  did 
not  succeed  ;  the  second  edition  was  enlarged  and 
imiDroved  (Jer.  xxxvi.  32). 

JEHOI'AKIB  (Jah  a  defender).  Head  of  the  1st 
course  of  priests  in  David's  reign  (1  Chr.  xxiv.  7). 
His  descendants  were  among  the  returned  cap- 
tives (Neh.  xi.  10). 

JEHO'NADAB  {Jah  incites).  The  son  of  Rechab 
(a  Kenite),  who  assisted  Jehu  in  his  reforms,  and 
in  the  destruction  of  the  Baal  worshipers  (2  K.  x. 
15).  Jeremiah  holds  up  to  the  people  the  obedi- 
ence of  the  Rechabites  (pilgrims)  who  kept  the 
law  of-  abstinence  from  wine,  and  that  to  live  only 
in  tents,  in  contrast  to  the  general  disregard  of  the 
law  of  Moses  (Jer.  xxxv.),  and  prophesies  an  im- 
mortality of  the  house  of  Rechab.  There  is  no 
historical  trace  of  them  after  the  Jewish  nation 
went  to  pieces,  and  it  is  supposed  that  they  became 
disciples  of  Jesus. 

ZY.-S.QWKTILAI(  (Jah' s gift).  Jonathan.  1.  Son 
of  Uzziah,  steward  to  David  (1  Chr.  xxvii.  25). — 
2.  A  Levite  instructor  of  the  people  (2  Chr.  xvii. 
8).— 3.  A  priest  after  the  return  from  captivity 
(Neh.  xii.  18). 

JEHO'RAM  (Jah  has  exalted).  Joram.  1.  Son 
of  Ahab,  king  of  Israel,  and  successor  to  his  brother 
Ahaziah,  B.  C.  896.  His  reign  was  noted  for  the 
lives  of  the  two  great  prophets  Elijah  and  Elislia. 
He  was  killed  by  an  arrovv'  from  Jehu's  bow  in  Na- 
both's  vineyard  (1  K.  xxi.  21).  He  was  the  last  of 
the  line  of  Omri.— 2.  Eldest  son  of  Jehoshaphat, 
succeeding  him  as  king  of  Judah  at  the  age  of  32, 
reigning  8  years,  B.  C.  893-885.  He  murdered  his  6 
brothers,  and  (by  the  help  of  his  wife  Athaliah, 
the  daughter  of  Ahab)  revived  the  Baal  worship 
(see  Elijah)  .  The  latter  part  of  his  reign  was  a 
series  of  calamities  to  the  nation,  and  death  to  his 
family,  himself  dying  of  a  painful  malady,  not 
regretted,  and  being  buried  without  honor. — 3.  A 
priest  sent  to  teach  the  law  to  the  people  (2  Chr, 
xvii.  8). 

JEHOSHAB'EATH  (Jah' s worshiper).  Jehosheba 
the  wife  of  Jehoiada,  the  high  priest. 

JEHOSHA'PHAT  (Jah  is  judge).  1.  Son  of  Asa 
and  Azubah;  succeeded  to  the  throne  of  Judah  at 
the  age  of  35,  and  reigned  25  years,  B.  C.  914-889 
(1  K.  XV.  24;  2  K.  viii.  16;  2  Chr.  xvii.,  xxi.). 
"The  Lord  was  with  Jehoshaphat,  because  he 
walked  in  the  first  ways  of  his  father  David,  and 
sought  not  unto  Baalim;  but  sought  to  the  Jeho- 
vah God  of  his  father."  *  *  "lie  took  away  the 
high-places  and  groves  out  of  Judah"  (2 Chr.  xvii. 
6;  1  K.  xxii.  43).  He  sent  out  teachers  among  the 
people  to  instruct  them  in  the  law,  set  up  just 
judges  in  the  walled  cities,  forming  a  supreme 
court  in  Jerusalem,  for  references  and  appeals. 
He  built  castles  and  store-cities,  and  aimed  to  re- 
store commerce  in  the  Red  Sea.  The  army  was  re- 
formed in  five  sections;  and  the  Arabians,  Philis- 
tines, and  Edomites  were  laid  under  tribute.  He 
was  saved  from  a  very  great  danger  by  his  trust  in 
God  (2  Chr.  xx.;  Ps.  Ixxxiii.,  xii.,  xlvii.,  xlviii.). 
He  made  a  friendly  alliance  with  the  idolatrous 
kingdom  of  Israel,  and  to  secure  peace  married  his 
son  Jehoram  to  Athaliah,  the  daughter  of  Ahab. 
He  was  saved  by  a  miracle  with  his  army  in  the

JEPHTHAH 


desert  (2  K.  iii.),  at  the  request  of  a  prophet  of 
Jehovah.  The  uuitual  relations  between  prophet 
and  kinc:  in  this  reien  is  a  sign  of  the  high  attain- 
ments whieh  the  kiiig  had  made  in  tlie  divine  life, 
lie  was  prudent  enough  to  appoint  his  successor 
(Jehoram,  2  Chr.  xxi.  3)  in  his  life-time,  as  David 
had  done  to  Solomon.— 2.  Son  of  Ahilud,  a  histo-

JEHOSHAPHAT,  VALLEY  OF  (valley  where  Jah 
judges),  (Joel  iii.  12).  The  valley  between  Scopus 
and  Olivet  and  Jerusalem,  so  named  after  the 
greatest  king  after  Solomon  (2  Chr.  xx.).  The 
nations  are  to  assemble  for  judgnunit,  where  Christ 
will  appear  the  second  time  (Acts  i.  11).  Kidron. 
The  Mohammedans  point  out  a  stone  in  the  east 
wall  of  the  temple  area,  near  the  S.  end,  from 
which  a  bridge  will  be  stretched  across  the  valley 
to  Mt.  Morian,  over  which  all  souls  must  pass— the 
jiist  in  safety,  the  wicked  falling  off  into  Gehenna. 
This  valley  has  been  used  as  a  burial-ground  from 
the  days  of  Josiah  (2  K.  xxiii.  6);  and  both  Jews 
and  M'ohammedans  look  on  the  place  as  a  most 
sacred  resting-place;  but  the  modern  name  cannot 
be  traced  beyond  the  4th  century  A.  D.  Joel's 
prophesy  was  a  poetical  and  symbolical  figure,  in- 
tended to  teach  that  God  is  always  present  with 
and  defending  his  faithful  children.  See  Jeru- 
salem.

Astarte)  worshipers,  their  temple  and  Images,  but

JEPHTHAH

JEKICHO 


xxii).  Son  of  Gilead  and  a  concubine.  Driven 
out  of  the  family  by  tlie  other  children,  he  went  to 
ToB,  where  he  became  a  leader  of  a  band  of  ma- 
rauders, ready  for  any  service  but  not  of  robbery. 
Samuel  names  him  among  those  who  were  raised 
up  by  God  for  his  people  (1  Sam.  xii.  11),  and  Paul 
mentions  his  special  faith  (Heb.  xi.  32).  The  Eld- 
ers of  Israel  not  finding  any  one  offering  to  lead 
against  the  Ammonites,  who  had  been  masters  for 
18  years,  appealed  to  Jephthah,  who  solenmly  ac- 
cepted the  position.  He  tried  to  secure  the  aid  of 
Ephraim,  but  in  vain,  and  also  to  reason  with  the 
king  of  Ammon;  and  then  after  making  a  rash 
vow  he  completely  overthrew  the  enemy,  taking 
20  cities;  when  having  punished  the  Ephraimites, 
he  held  his  office  for  6  years.  The  story  of  his 
daughter's  sacrifice  by  his  vow  has  been  variously 
understood.  Josephus  says  she  was  made  a  burnt- 
offering,  but  modern  scholars  have  inclined  to 
the  notion  that  she  was  devoted  to  perpetual  vir- 
ginity, and  the  sacred  service  of  God  in  the  temple. 
The  story  of  Iphgenia  (doomed  as  a  sacrifice  to 
Diana,  and  made  a  priestess  in  her  temple) 
has  been  cited  as  a  parallel  example  of  the 
spirit  of  the  Greeks  in  that  age.  The  vow  was 
that  the  first  person  that  came  out  of  his  house 
to  meet  him  should  be  the  Lord's,  that  is,  should 
be  devoted  to  the  Lord;  if  a  man  he  should  serve 
as  a  priest's  servant:  if  a  woman  she  should  be 
devoted  to  the  sacred  duties  of  religion  as  a  holy 
virgin  (Judg.  xi.  39),  a  companion  to  the  women 
of  the  Gibeonites. 


PISTACHIO. 


Human  sacrifice  was  contrary  to  the  Hebrew 
idea  of  true  worship  of  God,  and  is  specially  re- 
buked in  the  story  of  Abraham  and  Isaac.  The 
idea  of  sacrifice  is  just  as  strongly  brought  out  in 
the  perpetual  virginity  of  the  young  woman  who, 
In  common  with  all  the  daughters  of  Israel,  might 
hope  to  become  a  mother,  or  the  mother  even  of 
the  Messiah.  Besides,  burnt-offerings  must  in  all 
cases  be  males  ;  and  again,  the  vow  to  offer  some 
animal  would  have  been  a  small  matter,  unworthy 
of  the  important  occasion.  It  is  quite  reasonable 
to  suppose  that  Jephthah  thought  of  his  daughter 
when  he  made  the  vow,  for  he  was  a  husband  of 
one  wife,  and  had  but  one  child,  who  was  his  only 
hope  of  posterity,  thus  making  it  a  real  sacrifice. 
The  Levites  also  were  devoted  in  this  same  sense  to 
the  service  of  God,  made  dependent,  sacred  to  the 


Lord,  and  offered  as  an  offering.  Samuel  was  also 
devoted  to  the  Lord.

JER'ICHO  (city  of  the  moon;  and  another,  afror- 
gant  place).  (Num.  xxii.  1).  In  the  Jordan  val- 
ley, 8  miles  from  the  Dead  Sea  and  6  from  the  Jor- 
dan. When  the  Jews  crossed  the  Jordan,  Jericho 
was  a  large  and  strong  city,  whose  origin  is  not 
recorded.  Since  it  is  not  mentioned  in  Gen.  xiii., 
when  Abraham  and  Lot  looked  over  the  plain,  it 
must  have  been  built  after  that  time.  It  was  an- 
ciently surrounded  by  palm-trees,  of  which  there 
were  many  kinds  (Dent,  xxxiv.  3;  Jos.  B.  J.,  8,  § 
3),  thickly  dotted  about  in  pleasure  gardens;  be- 
sides balsam,  figs,  rose-plants,  cypress,  and  many 
others.  Josephus  says,  "It  will  not  be  easy  to 
light  on  any  climate  in  the  habitable  earth  that 
can  well  be  compared  to  it."  It  was  the  first  city 
W.  of  the  Jordan  taken  by  the  Israehtes.  Joshua 
cursed  the  city  (Josh.  vi.  26),  and  the  curse  was 
fulfilled  in  the  person  of  Hiel  the  Bethelite  (1  K. 
xvi.  34). 

The  Roman  general  Pompey  camped  there  one 
night,  and  Gahinius  made  it  one  of  the  five  cities 
of  assembly.  Under  Herod  the  Great  it  rose  to 
some  importance;  was  full  of  treasure  of  all  kinds

and  had  valuable  revenues.  Antony  gave  it  to 
Cleopatra,  llerod  built  a  fort  there,  which  he 
named  Cyprus,  in  honor  of  his  mother;  and  a 
tower,  Phasaehs.  He  also  built  a  new  town  higher 
up  the  plain,  which  he  also  called  Phasselis.  Nor- 
man McLeod  thinks  the  modern  village  marks  the 
site  of  Gilgal  {Eastward,  p.  198). 

Near  Jericho  was  a  copious  spring,  which  was 
healed  by  Elisha  (2  K.  ii.  19-21),  and  is  now  called 
Ain  es  Sultan.  It  is  about  a  mile  and  a  half  from 
the  modern  village  of  Er  lliha. 

There  are  extensive  ruins,  rubbish  and  founda- 
tions, in  several  places,  on  both  sides  the  Wady 
Kelt  (Brook  Cherith)  and  at  the  Ain  es  Sultan, 
marking  ancient  sites— the  most  ancient  at  the 
fountain.  The  city  of  the  New  Testament  was  on 
the  banks  of  the  Wady  Kelt,  on  the  direct  route 
from  Persea  to  Jerusalem.  It  was  visited  several 
times  by  Jesus.  Approaching  it  he  cured  one 
blind  man  (Luke  xviii.  35),  and  leaving  it  he  cured 
another  (Mark  x.  46).  In  the  house  of  Zaccheus 
(probably  in  a  garden  in  the  suburbs)  he  related 
the  parable  of  the  Ten  Pounds. 

Vespasian  made  it  the  head  of  a  toparchy.  It 
was  destroyed  during  the  siege  of  Jerusalem.  It 
revived  under  Saracen  rule,  and  in  the  time  of  the 
Crusades  was  one  of  the  most  fertile  regions  in 
Palestine. 

The  Latins  have  a  tradition  that  Jesus  was  bap- 
tized in  the  Jordan,  opposite  Jericho,  and  the 
erreeks  point  to  another  place,  not  far  off.  Both 
places  are  visited  by  great  numbers  of  pilgrims, 
dspecially  at  Easter.  Many  bottles  and  cans  of  the 
water  of  the  Jordan  are  carried  away  as  mementoes 
of  the  place.

cousin,  Abiliail,  being  another  (2  Chr.  xi.  18).— 8.  A

high-priest  (xxi.  13). 

JERI'OTH  {curtaim).  Wife  of  Caleb  (the  an-

JEROBO'AM  rHeb.  yarab'am,  niany  people). 
The  founder  of  the  Kingdom  of  Israel,  an  Epraim- 
ite,  the  son  of  Nebatby  Zeruah,a  widow,  (1 K.  xi.26) . 
He  was  obliged  to  fly  to  Egypt  for  plotting  against 
Solomon,  when  a  young  man,  even  after  Solomon 
had  given  him  an  oflice  of  honor  and  profit  (ver. 
28).  He  found  an  asylum  and  a  kind  reception  in 
Egypt,  from  the  Pharaoh  Shishak  (Sesonchis), 
successor  of  the  father-in-law  of  Solomon,  who 
had  also  received  kindly  Hadad  another  enemy  of 
Solomon.  On  the  death  of  Solomon,  and  on  the 
request  of  his  friends,  Rehoboam  hastened  to  fulfil 
Ahijah's  prophesy  in  forming  a  kingdom  out  of  the 
10  tribes,  being  cnosen  king  B.  C.  975.  He  made 
haste  to  change  the  religion  of  his  people,  in  order 
to  more  certainly  separate  them  from  Jerusalem, 
and  set  up  the  calf-worship  at  Bethel  (Beihaven), 
and  Dan,  and  changed  the  time  of  holding  the 
feasts.  His  hand  was  paralyzed  because  he  at- 
tempted to  arrest  the  prophet  from  Judah  who  pre- 
dicted the  overthrow  of  his  idolatry,  but  was  re- 
stored sound  on  the  prayer  of  the  same  prophet. 
His  political  policy  also  was  unsound,  and  did  not 
perpetuate  itself.  He  warred  with  Judah  aU  his 
days,  and  died  after  a  reign  of  22  years.

tions  of  all  kinds,  political  and  religious,  were  no- 
torious, and  were  condemned  by  the  prophet  Amos 
(vii.)  He.  reigned  41  years,  and  extended  his 
father's  conquests,  taking  Hamath,  Damascus, 
the  Hauran,  Gilead,  Ammon  and  Moab,  and  ad- 
vanced his  kingdom  to  its  highest  point  of  pros- 
perity. These  "successes  had  been  predicted  by 
Jonah  (2  K.  xiv.  25-28).  Amos  was  falsely  reported 
by  Jeroboam's  high-priest  at  Bethel  as  having  said 
that  the  king  should  die  by  the  sword,  but  Amos 
meant  (vii.  9-17)  the  house  of  Jeroboam,  which

Berachah,  now  Bereikut.  There  was  a  watch-tower 
(ver.  24),  from  which  the  enemy  was  seen,  and  re-

Rabbis  to  be  the  patriarch  Shem).  The  name  Sha- 
laim  (Ps.  Ixxvi.  2)  means  two  cities,  and  is  applied 
to  the  cities  or  quarters  on  (modern)  Zion  and  in 


Zion.  The  ark  was  only  removed  from  here  to  the 
Temple  of  Solomon.  David's  royal  gardens  were 
in  the  valley  at  En  Rogel.  David  and  most  of  his 
successors  were  buried  in  the  citadel,  but  there  are 
no  traces  of  their  tombs.  (See  p.  71).  The  sepul- 
chres of  David  were  in  or  near  Ophel  (Neh.  iii.  16, 
xii.  37).  The  three  great  works  of  Solomon  were 
the  Temple,  with  its  east  wall  and  cloister,  the  Pal-

Benjamin  did  not  drive  out  the  Jebusites  (Josh.

kind  of  stones  that  were  "sawed,"  now  very  much 
harder,  after  long  exposure.        _    .      ,  ,      ^ 

The  Son  of  Sirach  (and  also  Tacitus)  speaks  of 
a  "sea"  of  waters  that  was  under  the  Temple,  and 
this  was  recently  brought  to  light  by  Bobiimn  and 
Barclay,  (City  of  the  Great  King,  526).  It  is  736 
feet  in  circuit,  42  in  depth,  and  capable  of  holding 
two  million  gallons.  .  ,  ,    4. 

The  columns  were  once  covered  with  metal,  but 
are  now  bare,  or  plastered  stone.  The  rain  from 
the  mosque  of  Aksa  and  other  buildings  is  drained 
into  it.    No  fountain  has  been  discovered. 

Under  the  S.  E.  corner  of  the  Temple  area  are 


approach  from  Zion  to  the  temple  enclosure.  Solo- 
mon's aqueduct  from  the  Pools  above  Etham 
passes  over  this  arch,  and  under  the  street  above. 
This  arch  has  at  one  time  been  used  as  a  cistern. 
The  rock  was  found  on  sinking  a  shaft  51  feet  6 
inches  below  the  floor.  Below  this  room  there  were 
found  vaults,  tanks,  etc.,  and  a  secret  passage  east 
and  west,  probably  connecting  theTemple  with  Zion. 
The  extent  of  the  filling  up  above  the  original 
rock  cau  be  seen  from  the  plan,  where  the  debris 
is  85  feet  deep  at  the  S.  W.  corner  of  the  Haram 
wall.  The  "  chippings  "  of  the  stones  and  absence 
of  any  pieces  of  pottery,  etc.,  show  that  this  dirt, 
close  to  the  wall,  has  never  been  disturbed  since 
Hiram's  builders  put  it  there.  The  spring  of 
"Robinson's  Arch"  is  seen  in  its  place;  and  the 
stones  composing  the  arch  were  found  by  Lieut.

many  columns,  arched  over,  supporting  the  plat- 
form above  at  its  level,  resting  on  the  uneven  sur- 
face of  the  original  hill.  The  piers  or  columns 
are  from  3  to  8  feet  in  diameter,  from  5  to  23  feet 
apart,  and  there  are  15  rows ;  and  opening  into 
this  place,  which  is  called  Solomon's  stables,  is  a 
triple  gate,  under  the  Aksa  mosque.  West  of 
these,  under  the  actual  temple  site,  now  under  the 
Aksa  mosque,  is  another  series  of  piers  and  vaults, 
which  seems  to  have  been  built  up  from  more 
ancient  materials.  Besides  the  citadel,  now  called 
David's  tower,  there  are  scarcely  any  very  ancient 
remains  in  the  city  that  have  not  been  thrown 
down  and  built  up  again  several  times. 
"Wilson's"  arch  is  one  of  a  series  forming  an 


Warren  buried  under  40  feet  of  rubbish;  one  stone 
having  broken  through  the  roof  of  an  aqueduct,  lay 
on  the  rocky  bottom  at  the  depth  of  63  feet. 

This  plan  is  of  the  city  as  it  now  is;  with  a  few 
signs  indicating  ancient  works,  sites  of  ancient 
walls,  churches,  towers,  and  other  structures  in 
different  ages;  as  many  as  could  be  laid  down 
without  confusing  the  work. 

The  city  is  small,  but  there  is  scarcely  a  place 
of  any  note,  not  even  Nineveh  or  Babylon,  that 
has  been,  to  modern  scholars,  such  a  profound 
puzzle.  The  descriptions  of  Josephus  are  minute, 
his  knowledge  being  exact  and  complete;  and  the 
hills  on  which  the  city  stands  are  so  marked  and 
distinct  from  each  other,  that  it  seems  almost  mar-

els  inside  the  edifice.  To  describe  these  various 
"stations"  would  require  a  volume,  and  it  ha« 
been  already  done  completely  by  Bartlett  (  Walks 
about  Jerusalem:  Jerusalein  Revisited) ;  Barclay  (C%y 
of  the  Great  King) ;  Thomson  {Land  and  Book) ; 
in  Si7iith's  Dictioiiary  of  the  Bible;  Kitto's  Cyclojm- 
dia;  by  Tristram,  and  otliers.  The  numbers  on 
tlie  plan  of  the  church  indicate:—!.  The  entrance.

Sepulchre  (3).  4.  Is  the  "centre  of  the  world,"  ao-

steps  from  near  1.  Although  it  is  no  proof  of  the 
truth  of  the  traditions  which  locate  the  "stations" 
in  this  church,  yet  De  Vogue  and  others  (Sandys) 
give  us  a  great  mass  of  historical  evidence  that 
there  has  been  a  Church  of  the  Holy  Sepulchre  for 
many  ages  in  the  city.  The  oldest  engraved  seal 
of  the  city  is  that  here  given,  dated  A.  D.  1150;  and 
there  seems  to  have  been  a  small  church  inside  the 
larger  one  at  that  time,  as  there  is  now.  The  next 
one,  dated  1162-72,  gives  the  Tower  of  David  and 
the  Temple,  besides  the  Sepulchre;  which  would 
favor  the  opinion  of  Fergusson,  in  Smith's  Diet. 
(article  Jerusalem),  that  Moriah,  Zion,  the  City  of 
David,  and  the  Holy  Sepulchre  were  all  on  the 
same  hill,  now  called  the  Haram.  The  history  is 
continued  in  the  seal  of  Baldwin  IV,  1174,  with 
the  inscription  "Tower  of  David;"  and  also  by 
many  others,  which  may  be  seen  in  De  Vogue's 
work.    The  plan  of  the  church  of  those  ancient

a  hint  of  their  objects  and  duties  also.  Jerusalem 
is  now  a  sort  of  collection  of  churches  and  hos- 
pitals, with  a  great  many  vacant  places  strewed 
with  ruins.      Pi-  ■i^ltf 

late's  house, 
where  Jesus  was 
judged,  is  located 
at  the  N.  W.  cor- 
ner of  the  Harara 
area,  and  it  pro- 
bably stood  on  the 
site  of  the  Citadel 
of  David.  The 
Crusaders  re- 
spected the  Dome 
of  the  Rock,  and 
held  sacred  ser- 
vice in  it,  but 
used  the  Aksa 
mosque  for  a  sta- 
ble, despising  it 
as  a  work  of  Jews, 
the  Temple  of 
Solomon.  It  was 
so  only  in  loca- 
tion, for  El  Aksa 
was  built  by  the 
M  0  h  a  m  m  e  dans 
in  the  seventh 
century,   on    the 

site  of  the  Temple  of  Solomon,  whom  they  rever- 
ence among  the  prophets,  as  well  as  David,  and 
also  Jesus,  the  son  of  David. 

The  twelve  columns  around  the  centre  (with 
four  square  piers  at  equal  intervals)  are  of  por- 
phyry, and  have  gilded  capitals^  the  canopy  is  of 
crimson  silk.  The  outside  of  this  church  is  eight- 
sided,  of  marble,  covered  in  the  upper  part  with 
the  finest  glazed  tiles,  in  colors,  to  the  top  of  the 
dome,  which  is  finished  with  a  spire  and  bronze 
crescent.  The  piece  of  native  rock,  the  top  of 
which  shows  white  in  the  picture,  is  60  feet  long  by 
55  feet  wide,  and  12  feet  high  above  the  floor  at  the 
highest  point,  and  is  hollowed  out  underneath — 
forming  a  large  room,  which  is  believed  by  many 
to  have  been  the  real  sepulchre  of  Jesus,  now  very 
much  enlarged. 

The  Temple  has  so  entirely  disappeared,  that 
" not  one  stone  is  left  on  another."  And,  besides, 
its  very  location  is  still  a  matter  of  guesses  and 
speculation.  Several  churches,  a  pagan  tem})le, 
and  other  buildings,  have  occupied  the  platform  for 
ages,  and  have  dis- 
appeared, leaving 
very  few  traces. 

The  first  men- 
tion of  a  street  in 
the  city  is  in  2  Chr. 
xxix.  4,  where 
Ilezekiah  gather- 
ed the  priests  and 
Levites  into  the 
East  street  and 
his  soldiers  in  the 
street  of  the  City 
of  David  (xxxii. 
5,  6).  The  Bak- 
ers' street  is  men- 
tioned as  that  from  ""^  sspumthre,  a.  d.  1150. 
which  the  prophet  Jeremiah  was  to  receive  his 
daily  allowance  while  he  was  in  prison  (Jer. 
xxxvii.  21).  The  Cheesemongers'  street  of  Jo- 
sephus  is  supposed  to  have  been  in  the  Tyropoeon 
valley. 

The  cu-cuit  of  the  outer  wall  in  the  time  of 
Christ  was  about  four  miles.  Josephus  says 
(Wars,  v.  4)  there  were  many  towers  30  feet 
square  (some  larger),  and  solid  for  a  hight  of  30 
feet.  Above  the  base  there  were  rooms  for  the 
soldiers;  and  over  these  again  rooms  and  cisterns 


for  water.  There  were  on  the  third  wall  90  towers, 
300  feet  apart;  40  on  the  middle  wall,  and  on  the 
old  wall  ()0.  Psephinus,  the  most  northern,  was  on 
high  ground,  N.  VV.  of  the  city,  was  105  feet  high, 
and  eight-sided.  From  its  top  could  be  seen  the 
Jordan  and  the  Dead  Sea  eastward,  and  the  Great 
Sea  westward.  The  tower  Ilippicus  was  named 
by  Herod  after  his  friend;  and  Phasselus  after  his 
(Herod's)  brother,  and  it  was  135  feet  high ; 
finished  inside  and  outside  "like  a  royal  palace." 
Another  was  named  after  Mariamne,  Herod's 
queen.  It  was  75  feet  high,  and  equally  splendid. 
The  Castle  of  Antonia,  at  the  N".  W.  corner  of  the 
Temple  area,  was  built  by  John  HjTcanus. 
Pilate's  judgment-hall  was  in  this  castle,  which 
was  probably  on  the  site  of  David's  citadel  (John 
xviii.  28,  xix.  9).  The  towers  of  Meah  and  Hana- 
neel  are  also  mention(>d  in  Neh.  iii.  1;  Jer.  xxi.  38. 

The  ancient  plans  located  St.  Stephen's  Gate  on 
the  north  side  of  the  city,  at  what  is  now  called 
Damascus  Gate.  The  view  shows  a  few  of  the 
tombs  and  gravestones,  of  which  there  are  thou- 
sands in  this  valley  of  Jehoshaphat.  The  lions  on 
each  side  of  the  gateway  may  date  from  the 
Crusades. 

The  water  supply  of  the  city  has  been  remark- 
able in  all  ages  for  being  sufficient  in  times  of 
extreme  drought,  siege  and  famine.  Hezekiah 
"stopped"  some  sources,  which  have  remained 
hidden  to  the  present;  and  it  can  only  be  supposed

that  they  were  north  of  the  city  (2  Chr.  xxxii.  4, 
etc.).  Nearly  every  house  has  its  cistern,  or  seve- 
ral, large  or  small.  But  the  one  pool  of  all  others 
was  Bethesda,  which  was  near  the  Sheep-gate. 

The  masonry  is  of  large  blocks  of  stone,  18  to 
20  inches  square  (a).  (See  cut  on  page  38,  Section 
OP  Pool).  The  joints  are  hollowed  out,  and  blocks 
16  inches  deep  inserted  half  their  length  (b);  the 
spaces  between  these  blocks  being  filled  by  others 
8  inches  deep.  Over  these  is  a  coarse  plaster  with 
gravel  (d)  ;  and  the  inside  finish  is  a  thick  coat  of 
cement. 

The  identity  of  this  pool  vrith  that  mentioned  in 
the  Gospel  has  been  the  source  of  many  and  long 
arguments,  but  the  conclusion  that  it  is  the  real 
Bethesda  seems  to  be  gaining  in  favor,

In  all  the  accounts  of  the  sieges  of  the  city  we 
read  of  the  besiegers  suffering  from  thirst,  but  of 
the  besieged  from  hunger  only,  since  there  never

in  this  valley,  seen  by  Sir  John  Maundeville  as  late 
as  1322:  the  waters  of  Gihon  were  called  "the 
brook  that  flowed  through  the  land,"  and  was 
brought  straight  down  to  the  west  side  of  the  City 
of  David  (2  Chr.  xxxii.  30).  Solomon  was  anointed 
king  at  the  loy/er  fountain  of  Gihon  (1  K.  i.  33-45), 
which  was  located  somewhere  between  Acra,  Be- 
zetha,  and  Moriah,  and  not  in  Hinnom,  as  now 
stated  {Barclay);  the  Gihon  valley  would  then 
commence  north  of  the  Damascus  Gate,  and  end 
in  the  Tyropoeou :  Siloam;  Mi  Bogel;  Motza 
{spring-head),  Ain  el  Durrage  (?),  S.  E.  of  EnEo-

Jaffa  Gate,  the  ancient  Valley  Gate) ;  Aqueduct  of 
Pilate,  "whereby  he  brought  water  from  a  distance 
of  400  furlongs '"'  (Josephus,  Wars,  ii.  ix.  4) ;  the 
Stone  Aqueduct  described  by  Aristeus;  Solomon's 
Pools  at  Etham,  and  the  aqueduct  from  them  to 
the  city,  giving  off  a  branch  to  the  Great  Pool,  now 
Lower  Gihon.  Barclay  thinks  Herod  brought  the 
water  from  Etham  by  a  more  direct  route  than 
Solomon,  and  supplied  the  Uiiper  Gihon  Pool,  the 
Serpent's  Pool  of  Josephus.  Pool  of  Hezekiah,  built

large  poois,  or  tanks,  within  a  mile  radius  of  the 
city,  more  or  less  in  ruins;  and  the  great  number 
of  cisterns,  before  mentioned,  under  private  houses, 
into  which  rain-water  is  conducted. 


A  picture  of  a  siege  of  the  citv  was  found  sculp- 
tured on  a  slab  in  the  ruins  of  ^horsabad  (see  cut 
on  page  104),  in  the  "Retiring  Chamber"  of  the 
palace,  and  is  a  concise  and  interesting  record.  At 
that  time,  it  seems  that  the  brook  Kidron  was  full 
of  water,  and  there  was  a  plenty  of  olive  trees  on 
the  hills  about  the  city.  There  "are  now  but  a  very 
few  trees  near  the  walls,  the  most  interesting  being 
those  in  the  Garden  of  Gethsemane.  Titus  cut 
down  all  the  trees  around  Jerusalem,  and  his 
tenth  legion  was  camped  on  Olivet,  building  their 
part  of  the  wall  surrounding  the  city,  along  the 
bottom  of  the  valley  of  Kidron.  The  Turks  iiave 
pleasure-grounds,  or  gardens,  farther  up  the  val- 
ley (half  "a  mile  or  so),  where  they  resort  to  enjoy 
the  cool  shade  of  the  olive-trees,  some  of  which 
are  quite  as  large  as  those  in  Gethsemane,  and,  it 
may  be,  as  old.  The  antiquity  of  those  in  Geth- 
semane is  argued  from  the  tax,  which  is  fixed 
by  the  Turks  at  oi\^  medina  for  each  tree,  which 
rate  dates  from  before  or  at  the  time  of  their  con- 
quest; all  those  planted  since  everywhere  in  the 
empire  being  taxed  one-half  their  produce.  This 
would  carry  the  date  back  to  a.  d.  634,  when  Omar 
took  Jerusalem;  or  to  the  time  when  the  Turks  took 
it,  A.  D.  1087. 

There  are  no  level  streets, 
and  the  passenger  is  always 
ascending  or  descending, 
over  rough  and  uncared- 
for  ways.  The  houses  are 
built  on  heaps  of  rubbish, 
which  have  been  gathering 
for  ages.  The  foundations 
for  the  Church  of  St.  James 
(English)  rest  on  piers, 
built  up  from  the  rock 
through  40  to  50  feet  of 
debris.  The  streets  are  of- 
ten very  narrow,  the  widest 
being  only  eight  to  ten  feet. 
The  houses  are  often  built 
across  the  street  on  arches; 
and  the  custom  of  shading 
them  with  awnings  of  mats 
or  boards,  suspended  by 
ropes,  makes  them  dark 
and  cool,  which  is  very 
grateful  in  that  hot  climate. 
Only  two  or  three  streets 
have  a  name,  except  such 
as  are  being  adopted  lately 
by   the  Franks,  generally 

those  used  by  the  Crusaders.  The  materials  used 
for  buildingisthenative  limestone,  generallvbroken 
into  squares,  not  hewn,  or  sawn,  except  bvtlie  most 
wealthy.  In  many  walls  may  be  found  fragments 
of  ancient  structures,  such  as  cornices,  columns. 


capitals,  and  mutilated  sculptures,  built  in  as  raw 
material. 

Timber  is  only  brought  from  other  countries,  and 
therefore  very  co.stly,  and  is  only  used  for  window- 
frames  and  doors,  but  not  for  floors  or  roofs.  The 
windows  are  always  snuill,  and,  if  large  enough  to 
admit  a  thief,  are  barred  with  iron,  and  give  the 
houses  a  jail-like  ai)pearance.  Window-glass  is 
only  found  in  the  houses  of  the  rich.  Only  one 
door  opens  on  the  street,  and  there  are  no  windows 
in  the  lower  story  opening  on  the  street,  secluding 
the  houses,  but  making  dismal  streets.  The  inte- 
rior of  the  rooms  is  pleasing,  because  of  the  arches 
and  domes  required  in  forming  the  upper  stories 
and  roof.  The  floors  are  frequently  laid  with 
colored  stones,  arranged  in  most  beautiful  patterns. 
The  ijrineii)al  trade  is  in  beads,  crosses,  incense, 
crucitixes,  pilgrim-shells,  staffs,  pressed  flowers, 
and  other  keepsakes  (besides  relics,  which  are  made 
in  great  quantities),  with  the  thousands  of  pil- 
grims and  other  travellers,  who  visit  the  country 
every  year.  Soap-making,  and  weaving  of  coarse 
cotton  cloth,  are  almost  tlie  only  active  manufac- 
tures in  the  city. 

A  vast  number  live  professedly  on  charity. 
There  are  separate  bazaars,  frequented  by  the  dif- 
ferent people:  By  the  Jews,  in  the  street  near  their 
great  synagogue,  on  the  east  slope  of  Mount  Zion; 
by  the  Turks,  in  David,  Damascus,  and  Temple 
streets;  by  the  Arabs,  in  Via  Dolorosa  (El  Wad), 
near  the  St.  Ann  church;  and  by  the  Christians,  in 
Patriarch  street.  The  Cotton  Bazaar  was  once  a 
very  grand  structure,  but  it  is  now  abandoned  to 
rubbish,  and  only  used  as  a  passage-way  to  the 
Haram  area. 

This  short  account  of  the  "Holy  City"  would 
be  still  more  incomplete  without  some  brief  notice 
of  Solomon's  Temple,  and  its  successors. 

Wliatever  we  know  about  them  is  to  be  found  in 
the  First  Book  of  Kings,  in  Jeremiah,  in  Ezekiel 
(who  saw  the  first  temple  in  a  vision,  ch.  xl.),  in 
Josephus,  in  Aristeas;  and  after  these,  the  modem 
books  of  Williams,  Robinson,  Barclay,  and  Paine, 
in  our  language  ;  and  of  those  in  foreign,  the  best 
is  the  German  of  Dr.  Neumann,  of  &otha  {Die 
SUftshutte).  Mr.  Faine's  plan  is  copied  here,  be- 
cause of  its  shuiilicity,  and  seeming  fidelity  to  the 
original,  as  critit  ally  and  clearly  interpreted  by  the

in  the  country  villages.  Josephus  is  almost  the 
only  authority  for  all  we  know  about  the  Temple 
of  Herod,  which  was  the  one  seen  by  Jesus.  There 
is  not  a  word  in  the  New  Testament  about  its  ap- 
pearance, nor  even  its  location.  But  it  is  supposed 
that  while  the  figures  of  Josephus 
are  correct  as  to  the  ground-plan, 
his  figures  of  the  elevation  are 
twice  the  real

on  which  Titus  stood  at  the  siege  and  destruc- 
tion of  the  city  (described  by  Josephus),  had 
fallen  long  ago,  but  its  remains  have  been  dis- 
covered by  Robinson  and  Lt.  Warren,  and  minute 
accounts  published.  The  view  engraved  here 
shows  the  spring  of  the  arch  which  rested  against 
the  temple  wall  (Br.,  in  the  plan  of  Herod's  Tem- 
ple). The  bridge  was  51  ft.  wide,  and  extended 
across  the  valley  to  Zion,  350  ft.:  probably  resting 
on  5  or  6  arches  (see  p.  149).  One  of  the  stones, 
shown  in  the  cut,  is  21  ft.  long,  and  another  29,  by 
nearly  6  wide. 

The  famous  "Wailing-place"  of  the  Jews  (where 
they  go  to  bewail  the  desolation  of  Zion)  is  a  few 
rods  north  of  this  place. 

"The  past  of  Jerusalem  is  overflowing  with 
thought.  But  the  future  is  equally  impressive. 
These  ruins  are  not  always  to  remain.  The  future 
Temple,  and  the  restored  Israel,  when  "Jerusalem 
shall  be  the  throne  of  the  Lord  to  all  nations," 
claim  the  most  earnest  thought.  The  day  when 
"the feet"  of  the  Lord  "  shall  stand  on  the  Mount 
of  Olives,  which  is  over  against  Jerusalem  toward 
the  east,"  is  full  of  importance  ;  and  whether  we 
look  back  or  forward,  we  have  to  speak  of  Zion  as 
"the  joy  of  the  whole  earth,"  for  "salvation  is  of 
the  Jews."  The  present  missionary  work  in  Jeru- 
salem is  deeply  interesting.  *  *  But  surely  there  is 
no  spot  on  earth  like  Jerusalem." — (Dr.  Tyng).

place  than  a  mtdbar  (wilderness),  and  applied  to 
the  plain  and  hillsides  at  the  N.  end  and  on  the  W. 
side  of  the  Dead  Sea.  It  consists  of  a  level  plain 
of  nitrous  earth,  into  which  the  feet  sink  several 
inches  as  into  ashes,  and  hills  of  chalky  limestone, 
without  herbage,  except  a  few  alkaline  plants  and 
the  usual  fringe  of  the  Jordan  river.  The  Hill  of 
Hachilah  (darlc  red  cone)  may  have  been  Sebbeh, 
(Masada),  so  well  described  by  Josephus,  as  Met- 
sadoth  (strong-holds  in  1  Sam.  xxiii.  19),  and  the 
word  choresh  (Heb.  for  wood  in  verse  19)  means 
a  thicket,  dense  and  thorny,  such  as  is  found  along 
the  shore  there  now.

JESSE  (YisHAi,  manly).  Son  of  Obed,  father  of 
David.  His  name  is  never  mentioned  aijain,  not 
even  when  David  took  his  parents  to  ISahash  in 
Moab  for  security  from  Saul  (1  Sam.  xxii.  3).  He 
was  grandson  of  Boaz,  one  of  the  wealthy  ones  in 
that  favored  place.  His  wife's  name  is  not  men- 
tioned. Tradition  says  that  the  king  of  Moab 
killed  both  Jesse  and  his  wife,  with  their  attend- 
ants.

OF  Sirach  (Eccles.  i.  27),  author  of  the  Book  of 
EccLESiASTicus,  or  the  Wisdom  op  Jesub,  the 
Son  of  Sirach.  See  History  of  the  Books.  He 
was  also  known  as  Ben  Sira,  a  writer  of  proverbs 
which  closely  resemble  those  in  Wisdom. 

2.  JE'SUS,  called  jus'tds  (the  just).  A  disciple 
Paul  at  Rome  (Col.  iv.  11).  Tradition  makes  him 
Biii^op  of  Eleutheropolis. 

3.  JESUS  CHEIST.  The  name  Jesus  means  Sa- 
viour, and  was  a  common  name,  derived  from  the 
ancient  Hebrew  Jehoshua. 

The  title  Christ  means  anointed,  consecrated, 
sacred,  and  is  used  only  for  the  Messiah,  who 
came  in  fulfilment  of  prophesy. 

The  prophets,  from  the  time  of  Moses,  hold  up 
to  view  an  illustrious  person  w^ho  was  to  appear, 
and  should  belong  to  the  highest  order  of  being, 
since  the  name  of  the  Eternal  One  is  His;  and  he 
should  also  be  called  Wonderful,  Counselor,  the 
Mighty  God,  the  Everlasting  Father;  that  he 
should  assume  human  nature  and  be  born  of  a 
virgin  of  the  family  of  David  (Is.  xi.  1),  in 
Bethlehem  of  Judsea,  (Mic.  v.  2),  and  his  mission 
should  be  the  salvation  of  his  people  and  all  man- 
kind (Is.  xlix.  6);  that  He  should  be  despised  and 
rejected  of  his  people;  be  cut  off,  but  not  for 
himself;  be  wounded  for  men's  transgressions, 
bruised  for  their  iniquities;  by  His  stripes  men 
should  be  healed  (Is.  liii.);  the  Lord  should  lay  on 
Him  the  iniquity  of  men;  He  should  make  his  soul 
an  offering  for  sin;  and  should  be  exalted  and 
made  very  high;  .should  see  of  the  travail  of  his 
soul  and  be  satisfied,  and  by  his  knowledge  justify 
many;  and  Jehovah  say  to' Him,  "Sit  thou  at  my 
right  hand,  until  I  make  thine  enemies  thy  foot- 
stool" (Ps.  ex.  1);  to  Him  should  be  given  domin- 
ion, glory,  and  a  kingdom,  and  all  people  should 
serve  Him, — an  everlasting  dominion  which  shall 
not  pass  away  (Dan.  vii.  13,  14):  all  of  which  has 
been  completely  fulfilled  in  Jesus,  the  son  of  Mary 
of  Nazareth,  wno  was  divinely  appointed  to  be  the 
Messiah,  from  everlasting,  before  the  foundations 
of  the  world  (Prov.  viii.  23;  1  Pet.  i.  20;  Luke  ii.). 

Jesus  was  born  in  Bethlehem,  and  our  era  is 
dated  from  the  event,  which  was,  at  this  time  of 
writing,  1870  (4)  years  ago.  The  very  day,  and  even 
the  very  year,  has  been  indefinite,  but  is  not  far 
from  the  one  adopted.    Joseph  and  Mary  were 


espoused  and  had  gone  up  from  Nazareth  to 
answer  to  the  census-roll  ordered  by  Augustus,  for 
taxation;  and  they  came  to  Bethlehem  because 
they  were  of  the  house  of  David.  The  event  was 
announced  by  an  angel  to  some  shepherds  who 
were  watching  their  flocks  by  night  in  the  field 
near  the  village;  and  the  heavenly  host,  who  were 
with  the  angel,  praised  God,  saying,  "Glory  to  God 
in  the  highest,  and  on  carta  peace,  good-will 
toward  men"  (Luke  ii.  14). 

The  coming  of  Christ  was  an  event  of  general 
expectation,  and  the  Gentiles  were  next  to  the 
shepherd  Jews  in  rendering  homage  to  Him,  in  the 
visit  of  the  Wise  Men  from  the  East,  who  brought 
offerings  and  rich  presents  (Matt.  ii.  1). 

Herod  the  king,  who  is  described  as  a  cruel  ty- 
rant, having  been  made  jealous  of  the  wonderful 
child,  who  was  born  King  of  the  Jews,  ordered 
that  all  the  children  (about  12)  in  Bethlehem  from 
two  years  old  and  under  should  be  killed ;  and  Jesus 
was  saved  only  by  Joseph  hurrying  him  and  his 
mother  away  to  Egypt,  where  it  is  supposed  that 
they  stayed  about  a  year. 

On  the  way  from  Egypt  the  family  avoided  Beth- 
lehem and  returned  to  Nazareth. 

When  he  was  twelve  years  old,  his  parents  took 
him  with  them  to  attend  the  annual  feast  of  the 
Passover,  when  he  was  one  day  found  in  the  Tem- 
ple, questioning  and  answering  the  Jewish  priests, 
and  displaying  astonishing  wisdom  (Luke  ii.  47). 

The  account  of  his  childhood  and  youth,  and 
even  maturity,  up  to  "about  thirty  years  of  age," 
besides  the  incident  in  the  Temple,  is  given  in  two 
grand  sentences  by  Luke,  indicative  of  the  increase 
and  development  of  the  human  powers,  the  spir- 
itual being  perfect  from  the  beginning:  "And 
the  child  grew,  and  waxed  strong  in  spirit,  filled 
with  wisdom,  and  the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 
And  Jesus  increased  in  wisdom  and  stature,  and 
in  favor  with  (^od  and  man"  (ii.  40,  52). 

The  modesty  and  brevity  of  the  Gospels  on  this 
part  of  the  life  of  Jesus,  is  one  great  evidence  of  its 
truth,  as  compared  with  tales  of  fiction,  wherein 
the  hero  is  perfected  in  minute  and  wonderful  de- 
tails. 


PLAN  OF  HEROD  S  TEMPLE. 


Joseph  (the  reputed  father  of  Jesus,  and  so 
called  by  his  mother  Mary,  ii.  48),  is  not  again 
mentioned  in  the  Scriptures  after  this  event. 
Whether  he  lived  to  witness  the  wonderful  events 
and  profit  by  the  teaching  of  the  Saviour,  does  not 
appear. 

The  question  of  the  family  of  Jesus,  as  to  whether 
his  mother  Mary  had  any  other  children  besides 
him,  is  unsettled,  although  Matthew  distinctly 
mentions  four  brothers,  besides  sisters.  Some  have 
held  that  these  were  brothers  and  sisters-in-law, 
children  of  Joseph  by  a  former  wife,  and  others, 
that  they  were  the  children  of  the  sister  of  Jesus' 
mother,  who  was  also  named  Mary,  and  was  the

wife  of  Clopas;  this  would  have  them  to  be  cousins 
of  Jesus.    See  Mary. 

The  person,  the  life,  and  the  work  of  Jesus  are 
the  subject  of  the  whole  New  Testament,  (and,  in 
prophesy,  of  tlie  Old),  and,  as  a  whole,  are  the  his- 
torical and  doctrijial  foundation  of  Christianity. 

His  life  may  be  studied  in  several  sections  by 
students,  as  here  arranged : 

1.  Birth,  including  the  appearances  to  Zecha- 
riah,  Elizabeth,  Mary,  and  Joseph,  and  the  birth 
of  John  the  Baptist. 

2.  The  witnesses  of  the  Messiah — the  Shepherds, 
the  Magi  and  Herod. 

3.  Preparation  and  baptism. 

4.  Fasting,  temptation  and  public  manifestation 
in  Galilee,  Judgea  and  Samaria. 

5.  His  offered  proof  of  his  divinity  in  his  mira- 
cles, may  by  classed  in  two  groups : 

C  In  raising  the  dead. 
(1).  Of  Love.  <  Curing  mental  disease. 
(  Healing  the  body. 
C     In  creating;  destroy- 
(2).  Of  Power.  <  ing;   overcoming  men's 
(  wills. 

6.  The  instruction  in  his  discourses  and  parables. 

7.  Incidents  showing  the  effect  of  his  contact 
with  various  persons. 

8.  The  scene  of  his  ministry,  of  which  details 
are  given  in  the  Geography. 

Matthew,  Mark  and  Luke's  records  are  mainly 
of  the  events  in  Galilee,  never  mentioning  his 
visits  to  Jerusalem  until  the  time  near  the  cruci- 
fixion, and  only  implying  such  visits  and  teaching 
by  his  lamentations,  and  the  visits  of  the  scribes, 
etc.,  besides  the  intimacy  with  the  family  at 
Bethany.  John  records  a  few  acts  in  Galilee,  and 
gives  all  the  rest  of  his  book  to  the  events  in  Ju- 
daea— nearly  one-half  being  about  the  last  three 
months;  arid  seven  chapters  (one-third),  on  the 
last  few  days.    Neither  writer  attempted  a  com- 


plete  cJirotiology,  but  aimed  at  a  general  picture  of 
the  life.  See  Gospels,  in  the  History  of  the 
Books. 

9.  The  duration  of  the  ministry  cannot  be  de- 
termined exactly.  Those  who  interpret  the  pro- 
phesy of  Isaiah  literally,  limit  it  to  one  year  (Is. 
Ixi.  2).  But  John  mentions  six  feasts,  at  five  of 
which  Jesus  was  present.  1.  (ii.  13),  soon  after 
his  baptism;  2.  (v.  1),  a  feast  when  he  went  up 
to  Jerusalem;  3.  (vi.  4),  and  another,  from  which 
he  stayed  away,  in  Galilee;  4.  (vii.  2),  the  feast  of 
Tabernacles,  to  which  he  went  privately;  5.  (x. 
22),  the  feast  of  the  dedication;  6.  (xii.  xiii),  and 
the  last,  the  Passover,  at  which  he  was  crucified— 
extending  through  three  years. 

10.  And,  while  on  tliis  subject  of  time,  it  may 
be  valuable  to  consider,  by  the  help  of  the  map, 
tracing  each  movement  as  closely  as  possible,  the 
amount  of  labor,  traveling — mainly  on  foot  (or  on 
animals) — that  must  be  compressed  into  a  single 
year,  if  the  short  period  is  chosen. 

The  date  of  tlie  birth  of  Jesus,  and  the  month 
and  the  day,  have  each  been  the  subject  of  much 
debate,  without  any  definite  settlement.  The  vari- 
ous opinions  have  ranged  through  four  years  of 
time,  and  have  suggested  nearly  every  month  in 
the  year.  Tischendorf  and  Wieseler  say  that  Je- 
sus could  hardly  have  been  born  before  the  first  of 
January,  A.  U.  C.  750;  and  suggest  February  as 
the  latest  date  probable.  Gresswell  says  that  April 
5  or  6  must  be  the  day  of  his  birth  (A.  U.  C.  750). 
Dr.  Robinson  supposes  it  could  not  have  been  la- 
ter than  in  the  autumn  of  A.  U.  C.  749;  while  it 
may  have  occurred  one  or  two  years  earlier;  Lard- 
ner  fixes  the  time  about  the  middle  of  August  or 
the  middle  of  November,  A.  U.  C.  748  or  749;  "Wi- 
ner, Ideler  and  others  say  747;  Dr.  Wordsworth 
says  in  the  spring  of  749  (B.  C.  5);  Clement  of 
Alexandria  says  some  placed  the  day  on  April  20, 
and  others  on  May  20;  the  25th  of  December  as  the 
day  dates  from  the  traditions  of  the  4th  century.

The  life  of  Jesus  combined  in  a  three-fold  char- 
acter the  offices  of  prophet,  priest  and  kin>;j.  His 
prophesies  pointed  both  to  the  manner  and  the 
time  of  the  mission  and  work  of  redemption;  and, 
as  John  said,  were  really  clear  light  shining;  his 
priestly  office  was  shown  in  his  vicarious  atone- 
ment for  the  sins  of  men ;  and  his  kingly  office 
appears  in  his  royal  power  of  subduing  allmen  to 
his  will  for  the  good  of  his  people.  To  his  church 
he  was  also  proi)het,  priest,  and  king  above  all 
others  who  had  held  either  of  those  offices.  He 
first  said,  "  Xo  one  hath  seen  God  at  any  time,  the 
only  begotten  Son,  who  is  in  the  bosom  of  the 
Father,  he  hath  declared  him"  (John  iii.  16). 
Jesus  founded  a  system  of  ethics,  revised  and  over- 
ruled all  the  old  systems  of  morals,  and  so  purified 
the  system  that  it  will  stand  for  all  the  coming 
ages  without  changing.  This  was  done  among 
those  men  who  thouglit  they  were  learned  and 
wise,  and  that  they  needed  only  to  extend  Phari- 
seeism  or  Essenisni  to  perfect  the  moral  system  of 
mankind,  when  Jesus  showed  them  that  such  as- 
cetic notions  were  born  in  the  desert  and  would  die 
there.  An  obscure  Galilean  wood  carver  readily 
and  surely  did  what  so  many  eminent  men  had 
failed  to  accomplish — he  laid  the  foundations  of  a 
universal  religion — on  a  perfect  morality,  showing 
how  the  divine  and  human  elements  can  b(^  made 
to  appear  in  harmonious  action  in  every  soul.  He 
is  therefore  superior  to  all  the  prophets  who  pre- 
ceded him. 

The  priestly  element  was  almost  peculiar  in  Ju- 
daism. Th(^  Pharisees  enlarged  upon  the  hint  of 
Moses  and  declared  the  whole  people  to  be  a  nation 
of  priests ;  but  that  the  sacrifices  and  oblations 
(while  so  many  fell  short  of  the  ceremonial  purity) 
had  to  be  offered  by  a  mediating  priesthood,  and 
by  them  alone,  as  having  immediate  access  to  God, 
and  only  acceptable  from  them,  while  it  was  held 
to  be  blasphemy  to  attempt  to  change  tlie  institutes 
of  Moses  (Acts  vi.  11,  14,)  evt'u  although  the 
prophets  had  so  distinctly  said,  something liigher 
and  purer  was  needed,  and  would  be  given  from 
above,  being  brought  bv  the  Messiah,  the  great 
spiritual  king,  successor  of  David  (Ps.  civ).  The 
sufferings  and  glory,  struggle  with  temptation  and 
sin,  ransom  paid,  and  atonement  made,  whereby 
the  guilt  of  iniciuity  was  to  be  forever  atoned,  and 
sacrifice  and  oblation  cease,  and  a  new  temple 
consecrated  (Zech.  vi.  12),  in  every  heart,  was 
the  burden  Jesus  bore  in  his  character  and  office  of 
the  great  high-priest  (Heb.  x.).  The  necessity  for 
his  work  was  not  seen  until  after  it  had  been  done, 
and  he  was  gone  from  among  men.  His  priesthood 
was  more  perfect  than  any  before  him. 

The  Jews  had  expected  a  temporal  king,  a  King 
of  Zion,  as  announed  in  the  letter  of  the  prophets, 
the  spiritual  meaning  being  overlooked.   The  angel 


said  to  ]Mary  that  the  throne  of  his  father  David 
should  be  given  to  him  ;  the  Eastern  Magi  inciuired 
after  him,  and  did  obediein'e  to  him  as  King  of  the 
Jews  (Luke  i.  32).  Herod  struck  at  tht;  infant  as 
at  a  pretender  to  his  throne;  John  announced  him 
as  coming  to  set  up  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven;  and 
even  wlieii  he  declared  before  Pilate;  the  spiritual 
nature- of  his  kingdom,  the  Jews  failed  to  see  what 
sort  of  a  King  he  was.  However  feel)le  and  pow- 
erless he  may  have  seemed  then  as  a  king  before 
Pilate,  and  wMien  wearing  the  crown  of  tViorns  and 
tlii>  imrple  robe,  succeeding  history  has  prf>ved  his 
actual  iiower  among  men,  above  and  beyond  all 
other  kings,  moving  and  ccmtrolling  their  hearts 
and  minds,  and  this  power  is  extending  through- 
out the  world,  not  by  force  or  violence,  but  as 
gentlv  and  surely  ps  the  light  of  the  sun.  As  a 
king  "he  is  more  winning,  powerful,  more  enduring, 
and  more  holy  and  good  than  any  who  have 
reigned  before  him. 


GO.\T  OP  AOUDAB. 


Christians  in  all  ages  have  wished  for  some  pic- 
ture or  figure  of  Jesus,  which  should  represent  the 
Saviour  or  the  Man  of  Sorrows,  and  a  great  number 
of  attempts  have  been  made  to  represent  one  or  the 
other  of  those  phasi's  of  the  great  character:  some 
witii  an  expression  of  calm  serenity  and  dignity, 
without  grief;  and  others  with  the  crown  of  thorns, 
pui])lerobe,  and  face  of  sorrowful  aspect.  Except 
a  few  crude  outlines,  painted  on  the  walls  of  .sepul- 
chres, (as  in  the  Catacombs  under  Rome),  or  on 
tablets,  or  rude  engravings  of  the  early  ages,  no 
work  of  this  kind,  claiming  excellence,  can  be

tle value  in  the  world,  as  compared  to 
them  during  the  ages  before.  The  in-

powers  may  be  distinctly  traced  from 
age  to  age:' of  Persia,  in  organization, 
order,  and  the  ritual;  of  Greece,  by 
liberty  and  speculation;  of  the  Asmo-

JEWESS.  Born  a  Hebrew,  of  any

Timothy,  and  Drusilla  the  wife  of  Fe- 
hx  (xxiV.  24).    See  Herod.

JEZ'EBEL  (chnste).    Wife  of  king  Aliab,  mother 
of  Athaliah,  queen  of  Judah,  and  Ahaziah  and  Jo- 
ram,  kings  of  Israel.  She  was  daughter  of  Ethbaal, 
king  of  the  Zidonians,  who  had  proved  himself  a 
powerful  and  wise  king.    Jezebel  brought  her  re- 
ligion witli  her,  and  transplanted  it  iiito^he  willing 
hearts  of  the  Hebrews  (1  K.  xvi.  31),  and  tlie  king 
of  Israel  and  his  people  adopted  formally  the  wor- 
ship of  the  Phcenician  gods.    Elijah,  Carmel,  Na- 
botn,  Jehu,  and  Jezrcel,  are  names  that  recal  the 
main  points  in  her  history,  wOiich  may  be  read  in 
those  articles. 

Jezebel  is  charged  with  sorcery  in  the  O.  T.  (2 
K.  ix.  22),  and  in  the  New  (Rev.  ii.  20),  where  her 
name  is  used  as  the  symbol  of  a  wife  given  over  to 
unholy  practices.  As  human  nature  is  the  same 
from  age  to  age,  so  do  persons  enact  the  same 
deeds  over  and  again.

20).— 3.  Father  of  Amasa,  general  of  Absalom's 
army.  Ithra  (2  Sam.  xvii.  25).  He  was  an  Ish- 
maelite,  or  a  Hebrew  living  among  IshmaeliteB. 
He  married  Abigail,  David's  sister  (probably  in 
the  land  of  Moab).— 4.  Son  of  Jada  (1  Chr.  ii.32). 
5.  Son  of  Ezra,  in  the  line  of  Judah  (1  Chr.  iv. 
17). — Ezra  and  Amram  being  one,  this  Jether  may 
be  Aaron,  as  some  suggest.— 6.  Chief  in  Asher, 
father  of  Jephunneh  (1  Chr.  vii.  38). 

JE'THETH  (rt  tent-pin).  A  duke  in  Edom  (Gen.

Nejed  (in  the  Buhna,  sandy  desert),  and  an  El 
Wetid  range  of  mountains,  which  may  preserve 
the  name  of  the  ancient  family,  for  Wetedeh  is 
stable,  firm,  as  a  tent-pin.

(Josh.  xix.  42).     Lost. 

JE'THRO  (superiority).  Jether.  Father-in-law 
of  Moses  (Ex.  iv.  18,  xviii.  1),  and  also  called  Ho-

was  the  head  of  the  family  into  which  Moses  mar- 
ried (Ex.  ii.  18),  but  was  probably  his  wife's 
grandfather,  for  Ilobab  w'as  his  son  (Num.  x.  29). 
He  became  a  convert  to  the  worship  of  Jehovah,

JEZ  REEL  {what  God  jjlants).  At  the  west  foot 
of  -Ml.  ciilboa,  on  a  hill  overlooking  the  great  plain 
of  Je/.reel  ( Esdraelon,  .Tiulith  iv.  5).  Tlie  hill  is 
rocky  anil  :-tei  p  on  the  N.  K.  side,  ami  about  100 
ft.  high.  CariiK'l  can  be  seen  to  tlie  west,  and  the 
Jordan  valU'y  to  the  east.  There  was  a  temple 
here  to  Astarte,  with  400  priests,  supported  by  Je- 
zebel ;  Allah's  palace  (ivorv  liuuse,  1  K.  xxiii.  ."{'J); 
a  watch-tower  (2  Iv.  ix.  17)',  which  may  b<!  also  the 
tower  in  .Ji'zreel  near  whleh  Pharaoh  encamped 
when  Josiah  "went  against  him"  and  was 
wounded  (xxiii.  25).  The  spring  of  Ilarod  is 
about  1  m.  E.  where  the  story  of  (Mdeon's  night 
adventure  with  lamps  and  pitchers  is  located,  and 
also  the  defeat  and  death  of  Saul  and  Jonathan. 
To  this  city  Elijah  ran  before  Ahab  from  Carmel, 
12  ms.;  here  Xaboth  was  murdered,  that  Ahab 
might  have  his  vineyard;  and  the  "house  of  Ahab" 
(tlie  whole  family)  were  killed;  and  Jezebel  was 
thrown  from  a  window  and  eaton  by  dogs  in  tlie 
same  fieUl  that  was  taken  from  Niiboth.  There 
are  about  a  dozen  poor  houses  and  a  ruined  tower 
in  the  modern  village,  which  is  called  Zerin.— 2.  A 
town  in  Judah,  near  Carmel  (Josh.  xv.  5(!)-  Here 
David  took  Ahinoam  the  Je/reclitess  for  his  first 
wife  (1  Sam.  xxvii.  3).  — 3.  Eldest  son  of  the

hills. 

JO'AB  (Jail  his  father).  Son  of  Zeruiah,  David's 
sister.  He  and  his  brothers  Abishai  and  Asahel 
cast  their  lot  with  David  (1  Sam.  xxii.  3),  and  their 
history  runs  close  to  his.  Joab's  native  power  and 
and  niartial  deeds  made  him  the  most  famous  of 
the  three  brothers,  and  he  was  ambitious  and 
crafty,  jealous  and  revengeful,  as  is  shown  in  his 
history  as  "captain  of  the  host."  Joab  earned  at 
Jehus  his  title  of  commander-in-chief.  The  duel 
between  12  young  heroes  on  each  side,  between  the 
forces  of  Joab  and  Abner,  took  .place  at  the  pool  of 
GiBEOX,  and  brought  on  a  general  battle,  which 
turned  in  favor  of  ^oab  and  David's  forces.  Ah- 
ner  (luarreled  with  Ishboslieth  and  went  over  to 
David,  when  Joab  killed  him,  treacherously  pre- 
tending it  was  "in  blood- revenge"  for  his  brother 
Asahel,  whom  Abner  had  killed.  David  dared 
not  puni.'^h  Joab,  because  he  and  his  two  brothers 
were  so  useful  to  him  in  the  army.  In  the  war 
against  Ilanun,  Joab  made  a  speech  which  is  justly 
noticed  as  a  perfect  model  of  military  address: 
"Be  of  good  courage,  and  let  us  play  the  men  for 
our  people  and  for  the  cities  of  our'God,  and  the 
Lord  do  as  seenieth  him  good,"  (2  Sam.  x.  12).  It 
was  in  tlie  second  year  of  this  war  that  Uriah  was 
murdered  by  David,  by  the  help  of  Joab.  He  also, 
at  the  close  of  the  siege,  sent  for  David,  and  gave 
him  his  share  of  the  spoil,  generously  waiving  his 
own  right. 

Joab  was  verj^kind  and  generous  to  Absalom  in 
restoring  him  to  his  father's  favor,  after  his  flight 
from  killing  his  brother  Aninon,  but  was  equally 
ready  to  kill  Absalom  when  in  rebellion  against 
David,  especially  since  Absalom  preferred  Amasa 


as  his  commander.  Joab  met  at  the  great  stone 
in  Gibeon,  his  cousin  Amasa,  who  had  been  ap- 
pointed comiiiaiuler-in-chief  over  him,  and  treach- 
erously mui(i('re(l  him  as  he  did  Abner.  David 
prayeJ  often  to  be  released  from  such  a  terrible 
mail.  He  opposed  David's  desire  to  number  the 
people  with  true  religious  fervor  (2  Sam.  xxiv.  3), 
In  the  last  days  of  David,  Joab  joined  Adonijah  in 
rebellion  to  the  king,  but  Solomon  was  proclaimed, 
and  executed  his  father's  injunction,  even  taking

Beersheba,  and  disgraced  their  office  by  corruption, 
bribes,  and  perverted  judgment.  A  singular  error 
of  some  copyist  has  occurred  in  1  Chr.  vi.  28,  where 


instead  of  Joel,  Vashni  is  given  as  a  name;  the 
word  vashni  (vesheni)  means  "and  the  second."

Peter  he  was  specially  favored  by  Jesus  on  several 
occasions:  at  tne  Transfiguration ;  the  restoring  of 
Jairns'  daughter;  in  the  garden  Uethseniane;  and 
nncluding  Andrew)  at  tlie  discourse  on  the  fall  of 
Jerusalem.  He  was  mistaken,  with  the  others 
of  the  twelve,  in  his  idea  of  the  temporal  mission 
of  the  Messiah;  and  with  James  joined  his  mother 
in  the  ambitious  request  for  places  of  dignity  and 
honor,  lie  and  James  were  called  Boanerges,  for 
their  zeal.  John  was  called  also  the  Divine  and 
the  Revelator,  from  his  writings.  His  family 
could  not  have  been  poor,  because  they  kept  ser- 
vants, and  contributed  to  the  support  of  Jesus; 
and  he  received  Mary  into  his  home  at  Jerusalem, 
after  the  crucifixion.  He  also  enjoyed  social  privi- 
leges, and  the  acquaintance  of  the  high-priest. 

Jesus  loved  John,  who  was  the  youngest  of  the 
twelve.  Twice  he  showed  himself  to  him  as  the 
Lord,  by  a  miracle  touching  his  own  occupation, 
that  he  could  understand  without  doubt.  He  was 
probably  more  intimate  with  him  than  any  other, 
as  the  leaning  on  his  bosom  at  the  supper  would 
indicate.  After  the  ascension  Paul  found  him 
living  in  Jerusalem,  where  he  was  a  pillar  in  the 
cluirch;  and  he  was  yet  there  when  Paul  was  in 
Ephesus,  A.  D.  58.  After  Paul  left  Ephesus,  John 
was  sent  there,  about  A.  D.  65.  From  there  he 
was  exiled  to  Patraos,  where  he  wrote  the  Apoca- 
lypse, about  A.  D.  96.  (Patmos  and  7  Churches). 
Polycrates  (A.  D.  200)  calls  him  a  martyr,  but 
does  not  record  either  the  time,  place,  or  manner 
of  his  death.  His  epistles  give  evidence  of  a  large 
diocese,  requiring  many  journeys  of  pastoral  visi- 
tation. Jerome  states  his  age  at  100,  and  Suidas  at 
120.  He  is  described  as  a  mild  man,  affectionate 
almost  to  effeminacy;  but  as  a  true  Oriental,  some- 
times firing  up  as  m  the  case  of  the  Samaritans, 
when  they  rejected  Jesus.  See  History  op  the 
Books  for  the  Gospel,  Epistles  and  the  Reve- 
lation. 

JOI'AXIM.  From  Jehoiakim.  High-priest,  son 
of  Jeshua  (Neh.  xii.  10). 

JOI'ABIB.  From  Jehoi'arib.  1.  Three  of  this 
name,  but  little  known. 

JOK'DEAM  {by  the  people).  City  in  Judah,  near 
Hebron  (Josh.  xv.  56). 

JO'EIM.  JoiAKiM.  Son  of  Shelah  son  of  Judah 
(1  Chr.  iv.  22).

Carmel. 

JOK  SHAN  (fowler).  Son  of  Abraham  and  Ke- 
turah  (Gen.  xxv.  2),  whose  sons  were  Sheba  and 
Di-dan.  The  Arabs  have  a  Yokshan  in  their  liter- 
ature, but  there  is  no  trace  of  connection  with  the 
son  of  Abraham. 

JOK'TAN  (nuide  small).  Son  of  Eber  (Gen.  x. 
25),  father  of  the  Joktanite  Arabs  in  the  S.  of  Ara- 
bia. Their  dwelling  was  from  Mesha  to  Sephar,  a 
mount  of  the  East  (v.  .30).  The  ancestor  of  the 
southern  Arabs  was  Kahtan,  who  is  said  to  be 
the  same  as  Joktan.  The  Jewish  tradition  may 
have  been  adopted  by  the  Mohammedans.  There 
is  undisputed  evidence  of  the  settlement  of  Jok- 
tan's  sons  in  that  region,  who  founded  a  great 
kingdom  which  existed  for  ages  before  our  era",  and 
was  renoNviied  in  the  world  of  classical  antiquity. 

JOK'THEEL  (mbdued  by  El) .  City  in  the  Shefe- 
lah  of  Judah  (Josh.  xv.  .38),  near  Lachish,  now

subtle,"  and  a  friend  of  his  cousin  Amnon,  heir  to 
the  throne,  and  gave  him  the  fatal  advice  concern- 


ing his  sister  Tamar,  and  he  knew  of  Absalom's 
purpose  to  kill  Amnon  (verse  32). 

JO'NAH  (yonah,  dove).  Son  of  Amittai,  of 
Gatli-hepher,  in  Zebulon.  See  Jonah,  in  the  His-

KARTHKN   LAMP.      NO.   5. 

JOTK'A'SKAS  (Jah  gave).  Jehonathan.  1,  Eld- 
est son  of  Saul  the  king.  He  is  first  mentioned  at 
the  age  of  30,  when  his  father  was  made  king  (1 
Sam.  xiii.  2).  He  was  married,  and  had  one  son, 
Mephibosheth  (if  no  more),  born  about  5  years  be- 
fore his  death  (2  Sam.  ii.  8,  iv.  4).  He  was  the 
heir  to  the  throne.  His  courage  was  shown  in  the 
night  exploit  at  Michmash,  and  his  strength  and 
skill  in  the  use  of  the  bow  and  spear  (i.  22).  He 
was  a  friend  to  David,  and  stood  between  him  and 
his  father  as  a  peacemaker.  The  story  of  the 
friendship  of  David  and  Jonathan  is  one  of  the 
most  pathetic  in  history.  The  people  knew  his 
value  and  sustained  the  elders  in  saving  his  life 
when  in  danger  from  Saul's  foolish  vow.  He  no- 
bly yielded  his  own  expectations  of  the  kingdom 
to  David,  whom  he  believed  to  have  been  divinely 
selected.  He  perished  with  liis  father  on  Gilboa 
(1  Sam.  xxxi.).  David  sung  a  eulogy  over  their 
graves  that  is  unmatched  for  pathos  and  elevation 
(2  Sam.  i.  18),  Jonathan's  son  Mephibosheth  was 
cared  for  by  David  in  his  own  family.— 2.  A  Le- 
vite,  son  of  Gershom,  who  after  the  death  of 
Joshua,  impiously  served  as  a  priest,  first  to  Mi- 
cah,  and  then  to  the  Danites  in  Dan  Laish  ( Judg. 
xvii.  18). — 3.  Son  of  Abiathar  the  priest,  who  took 
an  active  part  in  Absalom's  revolt,  aiding  David  as 
a  spy  (2  Sam.  xv.  36,  xvii.  17);  and  also  in  the 
revolt  of  Adonijah  (1  K.  i.  42). — 4.  A  soldier,  son 
of  Shimeah,  and  nei)hew  to  David,  who  killed  a 
gigantic  Philistine  of  Gath  (2  Sam.  xxi.  20).— 5. 
Uncle  to  David,  "a  counselor,  a  wise  man,  and  a 
scribe,"  (1  Chr.  xxvii.  32).  The  word  dod,  uncle, 
means  any  near  raJation,  or  even  a  friend  (Is.  v. 
1). — 6.  Son  of  Jashen,  a  hero  (2  Sam.  xxiii.  32), 
who  may  be  the  one  called  the  son  of  Shage,  the 
Hararite  (1  Chr.  xi.  34).  Nine  others  of  this  name 
are  mentioned,  one  of  wiiom  owned  the  house  in 
which  Jeremiah  was  in  ]u-ison  (Jer.  xxxvii.  15). 

JO'NATH-E'LEM-REeHO  KIM.  The  name  of  a 
musical  instrument  which  produced  soft,  mellow 
sounds,  and  found  only  in  the  title  of  Ps.  Ivi.,  as  a 
direction  to  the  choir  leader. 

JOPTA  (YAPA,  bemity).  In  Dan  on  the  sea- 
shore, a  seaport  in  Solomon's  time  (Josh.  xix.  46; 
2  Chr.  ii.  16).  The  cedar  for  the  two  temples, 
Solomon's  and  Zerubbabel's,  and  the  palaces  of 
David  and  Solomon  was  landed  here  (Ezr.  iii.  7). 
Jonah  embarked  here  when  ti-ying  to  escape  from 
the  unpleasant  mission  to  Nineveh.  During  the 
wars  of  the  Maccabees  it  was  a  stronghold  (1 
Mace.  X.  75).  Peter's  "vision  of  tolerance"  was 
on  a  house-top  in  this  city  (Acts  x.  9-18).  A 
Christian  bishop  resided  here  until  the  Saracens 
took  the  place.  Pilgrims  from  all  lands  have 
landed  here  for  many  ages  to  go  up  to  Jerusalem.

It  was  taken  and  retaken  many  times  during  the 
crusades.  Saladin  destroyed  aiid  Richard  (Lion- 
heart)  rebuilt  the  fortifications.  In  the  13th  cen- 
tury tliere  was  not  a  house  entire  on  the  site.  It 
has  now  5,000  people,  3  convents,  Greek,  Latin,  and 
Armenian,  and  several  mosques.  The  bazaars  are 
interesting  and  antique.  The  city  is  on  a  hill, 
close  to  tue  sea,  and  is  surrounded  by  miles  of 
orchards— orange,  lemon  and  many  other  fruits, 
besides  gardens,  which  are  scarcely  surpassed. 

The  poet  Ovid  located  here  the  beautiful  myth 
of  Andromeda  and  the  sea-monster,  a  poetical  al-

Urdoa,  descender,  and  FJ^h  iShrri/ih,  the  watering- 
place.    The  largest  river  in  Palestine.    Kises  m 
Mt.  Hermon  and  empties  into  the  Dead  Sea.    The 
sources  are  in  the  south,  west  and  north-west  slopes  ! 
of  Hermon,  whose  melting  snows  sujiply  the  foun-  [ 
tains,  some  of  which  are  so  copious  that  each  one  ' 
of  three  forms  a  full  stream  at  once.    These  three 
are:  the  Hasbany,  the  most  northern,  longest  and 
muddiest;  the  Leddan  (Ar.  El-ed-Daii),  the  larg- 
est but  shortest;  and  the  Baniasy  (of  Paneas), 
the  clearest. 

There  are,  also,  a  fountain  and  stream  from  Ijon; 
one  from  Belat,  3  miles  X.  Vf.  of  the  Huleh  lake, 
another  from  Am  MeUahah  one  mile  N.  W. ;  all  of 
which  are  perennial,  and  large  enough,  each  one, 
to  turn  a  mill.  About  a  mile  S.  of  Hasbaiya  the 
fountain  of  Shiba,  5  miles  up  the  slope  of  Hermon, 
sends  a  stream  north  of  the  hill  on  wliich  stands 
the  Pagan  temple  of  Hibbariyeh  in  ruins;  another 
stream  from  the  same  direction  is  the  Lusiiiny,  and 
flows  into  the  Jordan  at  EI  Gujar,  after  coursing 
around  the  ruined  castle  of  Bostra.  These  streams 
flow  in  deep,  rocky  channels,  several  feet  below 
the  general  level  of  the  country.  The  slopes  of 
Hermon  are  "alive  with  streains"  which  supply 
the  Jordan.  The  Hasbany,  Leddan,  and  Baniasy 
unite  in  the  Huleh  marsH,  pass  S.  into  the  lake 
Huleh,  and  flowing  west  from  it*;  S.  angle,  tumbles 
do\vn  a  rocky  ravine,  with  cliffs  on  each  side,  full 
of  rapids,  sinking  700  feet  in  9  miles,  to  the  Sea  of 
Galilee. 

From  the  S.  of  this  sea  the  Jordan  flows  in  a 
cha.nnel  100  feet  wide,  rocky,  winding,  always^  de- 
scending;  falling  over  about  forty  cascades  and 
rapids,  sinking  600  feet  in  fiO  miles,  in  a  straight 
line,  but  makiiig  nearly  200  by  its  windings,  to  the 
Dead  Sea,  where  it  is  a  shallow  stream,  500  feet 
wide,  and  deep  in  the  rainy,  or  shallow  in  the  dry 
season.  The  surface  is  there  1300  feet  below  the 
ocean.     (Sea). 

The  tributaries  below  Genessaret  on  the  east  are 
the  Yarmuk  (Jabbok?),  5  ms.  S.  of  the  sea,  120 
feet  wide  and  4  deep;  and  the  Jabbok,  which  has 
two  outlets  into  the  Jordan,  about  midway  between 
the  two  seas. 

There  are  many  winter  torrents,  dry  in  summer, 
and  several  fountains,  as  at  Pella,  WJi'dy  She'riah, 
Nim'rin,  on  the  east;  and  on  tlie  west',  Bethslian

JOEDAN  VALLEY  (Arabah)  is  a  long,  narrov/ 
plain,  N.  to  S.,  bordered  by  steep  and  nearly  par- 
allel ridges;  Gilead  on  the  east,  rising  3,000  to  5,000 
ft.,  and  Samaria,  on  the  W.,  rising  from  2,000  to 
3,000;  and  is  about  (5  ms.wide  in  the  northern  part, 
widening  to  10  or  12  at  Jericho.  The  sides  are  not 
regular,  but  are  broken  by  ridges,  or  spurs,  from 
the  mountains,  wliich  run  out  into  the  plain  at  sev- 
eral places,  indicated  on  the  map,  as  at  Bethshan, 
and  SuRTAREH  (Zarthan).  See  Geology  in  Pait 
ESTiNE.  The  surface  is  not  level,  but  lifted  into 
low  hills  and  ridges.  The  map  shows  the  course  of 
the  river  through  the  Ghor  as  very  winding.  The 
upper  Joi'dan,  above  the  lake  and'marsli  riuleh,  is 
fordable  in  many  places,  the  brooks  being  shallow, 
with  stony  beds.  In  the  rainy  season  they  often 
overflow,  "and  are  then  impassable  for  a  few  days 
at  a  tiniei  S.  of  the  lake  Huleh  there  is  more  water, 
and  the  fords  are  fewer.  Just  north  of  tlie  Sea  of 
Galilee,  near  Bethsaida  Julias,  there  is  a  ford  over 
sand-bars  in  the  dry  season.  The  road  from  Da- 
mascus into  Galilee  passes  over  a  bridge  about  2 
ms.  S.  of  the  Huleh,  called  Jacob's  I)aughters 
(after  a  mythical  race,  said  to  live  in  oak  trees), 
14  a  m.  S.  "of  the  Sea  of  Galilee  there  is  a  Roman 
bridge,  in  ruins,  and  a  ford  called  Semakh.  The 
bridge  Mejamia  is  Saracenic,  5  ms.  further  S.,  but 
I  there  is  no  ford. 

There  is  no  mention  of  a  bridge  over  the  Jordan 
I  in  the  Scriptures,  and  the  Mejamia  is  the  only  one 
!  now  in  use,  S.  of  tlie  Sea  of  Galilee.    Opposite 
Bethshan  the  river  is  fordable  in  the  dry  season, 
i  Near  Succoth,  just  N.  of  Wady  Yabesh  (Jabesh), 
there  is  an  island  with  sand-bars  on  eacli  side, 
forming  a  ford  in  summer.    This  is  probably  tlie 
Bethabara  of  Judges  vii.  24.     S.  from  this  place  to 
the  mouth  of  the  Jabbok  tliere  are  several  fords 
at  low  water.     10  ms.  S.  of  the  Jabbok  is  the  lord 
on  the  Shechem  Es  Salt  road,  and  traces  of  a  Ro- 
man bridge.    There  is  a  ford  both  above  and  below 
the  pilgrim's  bathing-place,  opposite  Jericho.    The 
upper  one,  called  ElMashriia,  is  the  supposed  one 
crossed  by  Joshua. 

The  banks  of  the  river  are  fringed  with  trees, 
flowering  shrubs,  cane  and  reeds;  oleanders,  holly- 
hocks, purph^  thistles,  marigolds,  anemones,  wil- 
lows, tamarisk,  cedar,  arbutus,  aspen,  and  ghurrah; 
where  beasts  and  birds  in  great  numbers  find 
sh(>lter.  -

JOSEPH

JOSEPH 


Egj'pt  (Gen.  xxx.  xxxvii.V    Keu)>oii  liad  Intended  I 
to  rescue  Joseph,  and  ban  him  oast  into  a  dry  pit, 
from  which  he  iiiiyht  be  taken  afterward;  biit  he 
was  too  late.    His  coat  (of  many  colors)  was  a  I 
long  tunic  with  sleeves,  striped  or  embroidered.  | 
(See  DuESS).     The  brothers  dipped  this  in  a  kid's  1 
blood,  and  sent  it  to  Jacob,  who  was  deceived  by  ! 
the  trick,  and  believed  Joseph  had  been  killed  by 
some  wild  beast. 

The  merchants  sold  him  to  Potiphar  (chief  of 
theexecutioners),  anative  of  Egypt,  andanofticerof 
the  Pharaoh  (B.  C.  170;t).  '»  the  reign  of  Thotnmes 
III,  whose  ring  is  engraved  on  pageT  ((ien.  xxxix.). 

In  Potiphar's  house  he  prospered,  rising  to  the 
highest  position  of  honor  and  confidence.  Being 
tempted  by  his  master's  wife,  and  ln)norably  deny- 
ing her  request,  he  was  falsely  accused  by  her,  and 
thrown  into  prison.  Here  he  again  prospered,  and 
was  advanced  to  the  charge  oi  all  the  other  pris- 
oners (Ps.  cv.  17-18). 

While  in  the  prison,  two  other  prisoners,  a  butler 
and  a  baker,  dreamed  dreams  which  Joseph  inter- 
preted (Gen.  xi.).  These  acccmnts  are  interesting, 
iH'cause  they  agree  with  the  manners  of  the  ancient 
Egyptians,  as  recorded  on  their  monuments  (Anc. 
Eg\ptii.  152). 

Joseph  begged  the  butler,  when  he  should  be 
restored  to  favor,  as  he  showed  from  his  dream,  to 
think  of  him,  and  speak  of  him  to  the  Pharaoh; 
but  he  did  not  do  so  (tien.  xl.  1;}-1G,  2:5),  until  the 
Pharaoh  dreamed  two  prophetic  dreams,  which 
found  in  Joseph  a  successful  interpreter,  on  the 
recommendation  of  the  butler  (xl.).  He  was 
then  released,  after  two  years'  confinement.  The 
dreams  foreboded  the  approach  of  a  seven  years' 
famine;  and  on  consultation  with  his  advisers, 
Joseph  was  chosen  by  the  Pharaoh  to  exercise  full 
power  over  all  Egypt,  except  the  throne,  as  one 
whose  wisdom  was  of  divine  origin,  in  token  of 
which  he  put  his  ring  on  Joseph's  hand,  invested 
him  with  royal  garments,  and  gave  him  a  new 
name,  Taphnath-paaneah  (saviour  of  the  world); 
and  gave  him  for  a  Avife  Asenath,  daughter  of 
Potipherah,  a  priest  of  On. 

He  was  now  thirty  years  old.  His  two  sons, 
Manasseh  and  Ephfaim,  were  born  during  the 
seven  years  of  plenty.  His  wisdom  appeared  when 
the  famine  was  known  to  extend  to  "all  lands" 
i.  e.  bordering  on  Egypt,  and  their  people  came 
to  buy  corn  in  Egypt  (xli.  56-57).  Among 
others,  the  ten  brothers  of  Joseph  came  also,  and 
he  recognized  them  ;  but  they  did  not  know  him, 
for  he  had  probably  adopted  "the  dress  and  speech 
of  Egypt,  and  besides,  the  boy  of  seventeen  that 
they  sold  for  a  slave  was  now  a  man  over  thirty, 
and  a  governor. 

Joseph  severely  tried  and  punshed  his  brothers 
by  calling  them  spies,  putting  them  in  prison  for 
three  days,  and  detaining  one  (Simeon)  while  the 
others  returned  with  corn  to  Canaan,  with  orders 
to  bring  Benjamin  down  to  Egypt.  But  even  while 
pretending  this  severity  his  good  heart  caused  him 
to  weep;  it  may  be  as  much  from  joy  at  seeing 
them,  as  from  anxiety  about  Benjamin  and  his 
father. 

As  .soon  as  Benjamin  came  his  manner  changed — 
with  ditficulty  only  could  he  act  longer  in  a  false 
character,  and  he  gave  orders  to  prepare  for  them 
to  dine  with  him  at  noon  (hiding  himself  to  weep 
in  his  room).  The  account  of  the  dinner  agrees 
exactly  with  the  monuments  as  to  the  customs  of 
the  Egyptians,  which  were  also  adopted  by  the 
Jews.  Joseph  was  served  by  himself— his  brethren 
by  themselves,  and  th(>  Egyptians  also  apart  by 
themselves;  and  when  each  one  was  seated  in 
order,  according  to  his  birthright,  Simeon  being  re- 
leased and  with  them,  they  wondered  that  any  one 
should  know  their  ages. 

Joseph  wished  to  try  how  far  his  brothers  would 
be  faithful  to  his  father,  and  laid  a  plan  to  trap 


them  and  detain  Benjamin  by  i)utting  a  cup  in 
Benjamin's  sack.  On  being  arrested  when  a 
little  way  out  of  the  city,  and  brought  back  before 
Josejih,  with  Benjamin  as  the  detected  criminal, 
Judah  showed  the  deepest  regard  lor  his  aged 
father's  feelings,  and  offered  liimself  a  ransom, 
that  lienjamiu  might  return  to  him.  This,  in  the 
Scripture,  is  one  of  the  most  touching  passages  in 
the  wholf  course  of  literature  (Gen.  xliv.  l«-34). 

Joseph  could  bear  it  no  longer,  but  made  himself 
known  to  his  brothers,  and  then  his  first  (picstion 
was,  "  Is  my  father  alive?"  and  he  hastens  to  re- 
lieve them  of  anxiety  and  fear,  by  showing  them 
that  it  was  (iod's  providence  that  sent  liim  to 
Egynt  to  prepare  the  way  for  their  salvation  from 
death  by  famine  (xlv.  xlvi.). 

Pharaoh  gave  Jose))h  leave,  and  ordered  him  to 
bring  his  father  and  his  household  into  Egypt;  and 
accordingly  they  were  brought  and  settled  in  Go- 
shen, where  .Ios"eph  met  his  lather,  honoriMl  him  by 
presenting  him  before  thfkiiig,  and  su.stained  him 
and  his  tlirough  the  remaining  years  of  famine 
(xlvii.  12). 

Joseph's  prudence  and  policy  made  Pharaoh  ab- 
solute master  and  owner  of  all  Egypt,  except  the 
priest's  land,  by  the  sale  of  the  stores  which  had 
been  laid  up  during  the  years  of  plenty.  This  is 
the  greatest  social  rt?volution  recorded  in  history — 
the  reduction  of  an  entire  nation  to  slavery  or  de- 
pendence by  famine  (i:VJ6). 

Jacob  died,  and  Joseph  had 
his  body  embalmed  and  car- 
ried to  the  cave  of  Machpelah 
(i.  13). 

Joseph's  brothers  feared  him 
after  his  father's  death,  and 
coming  near,  begged  his  for- 
giveness, when  he  made  the 
noble  reply:  "Fear  not;  I  will  nourish  you  and 
your  little  ones." 

He  lived  to  the  age  of  110  years,  and  saw  Eph- 
raim's  children  to  "the  third  generation;  and  Ma- 
nasseh's  also  were  brought  up  on  his  knees. 

When  he  died,  they  embalmed  his  body,  and  put 
it  in  a  coffin  in  Egypt,     (b.  c.  1616.) 

He  had  reminded  them  of  God's  promi.se  to  bring 
them  again  into  Canaan,  and  required  them  to 
carry  his  bones  with  tli(>m  when  they  went.  So 
they  carried  the  body  in  the  desei-t  for  "forty  years, 
anct  laid  it  in  its  final  resting-place  at  Shechem 
(Josh.  xxiv.  32). 

Joseph  is  above  all  others  the  purest  character 
known  to  history,  (always  excepting  Jesus).  Un- 
like David,  Solomon,  and  any  other,  he  loft  only 
good  repox'ts  of  his  heart  and  hands.  His  trials, 
resistance  to  temptation,  degradation,  exaltation, 
saving  his  people,  and  confounding  his  enemies, 
mark  him  as  a  type  of  the  Christ. 

JQ'SEPH.  The  son  of  Heli,  the  husband  of 
Mary,  and  the  legal  father  of  Jesus  (Matt.  i.). 
The'first  fact  we  learn  of  him  is  his  descent  from 
David.  He  is  then  mentioned  as  the  betrothed 
husband  of  Mary. 

This  custom  of  espousal  was  the  beginning 
of  marriage,  and  was  made  by  the  parents  if  the 
parties  were  under  age.  It  was'a  public  and  formal 
proceeding,  confirmed  by  oaths,  and  presents  to  the 
bride  (Gen.  xxiv.  22,  5.3).  Twelve  months  were 
allowed  to  pass  before  the  marriage  ceremony;  and 
the  betrothal  could  only  be  broken  off  by  a  bill  of 
divorce.  Mary  was  the  daughter  and  heir  of  Jo- 
sejih's  uncle,  Jacob. 

The  age  at  which  marriage  was  legal  was  18; 
hut  probably,  then  as  now,  in  Palestine,  many 
married  much  younger — from  12  years  upward;  so 
if  this  was  a  first  marriage,  with  Joseph  as  well  as 
^Nlary,  they  were  most  probably  under  20  years, 
and  it  may  be  that  Mary  was  only  15  to  18.  Dur- 
ing the  twelve  months  after  the  betrothal,  Joseph 
was  grieved  at  the  discoverj'  that  Mary  was  with 


f  irl,  rudo,  puslf ;  c,  t,  0,  silent;  5  as  a;  9h  as  sh;  -c.-ch  as  k;  g  as  j;  g  as  in  get;  s  as  z;  x  as  gz;  n  as  in  linger,  link;  th  as  in  tWno.

cMld,  and  intended  to  divorce  her  as  privately  as 
possible;  but  being  reconciled  by  divine  instruction 
in  a  dream,  he  accepted  her  as  his  wife.  Mary 
bore  several  children  to  Joseph,  two  of  whom 
became  believers  after  the  crucifixion,  and  James 
was  the  first  Christian  bishop  of  Jerusalem.  We 
have  also  the  names  of  .Joseph,  Simon,  and  Jude. 
Of  the  daughters  no  names  are  given  (Matt.  i.  18, 
24,  25,  xxvi.  56,  xiii.  55,  56). 

Joseph  was  an  artisan  of  some  kind  (the  origi- 
nal Greek  word  meaning  smith,  or  niakt^r  of  ar- 
ticles out  of  any  material);  and  it  is  probable 
that  he  was  a  carver  of  wood  for  interior  decora- 
tion (a  carpenter),  aiad  that  his  son  Jesus  was 
taught  the  same  trade.  All  handicraft  were  held 
in  honor,  and  they  were  learned  and  followed  by 
the  sons  of  the  best  men. 

The  decree  of  Augustus  Csesar,  taxing  all  the 
people,  required  them  to  appear  for  that  purpose  at 
their  proper  places,  according  to  their  tribes;  so  Jo- 
seph and  Mary  were  at  Bethlehem  (if  they  did  not 
reside  there)  when  Jesus  was  born.  At  the  proper 
age  for  presenting  the  child  in  the  temj)!*',  Joseph 
went  with  the  child  and  his  mother,  and  heard 
Simeon's  and  Anna's  prophetic  words.  He  was 
also  present  when  the  magi  visited  the  child;  and 
being  warned  in  a  dream,  "took  the  young  child 
and  his  mother  at  night  and  departed  into  Egypt. ' ' 
On  his  return,  after  Herod's  death,  ''he  turned 
aside"  and  dwelt  at  Nazareth. 

Wlien  Jesus  was  12  years  old,  they  went  up  to 
Jerusalem,  to  the  annual  feast  of  the  Passover, 
and  the  incident  of  the  child  among  the  doctors 
occurred. 

Joseph  is  not  mentioned  again  in  the  gospels 
after  this  time. 

It  is  supposed  that  he  died  before  the  crucifixion, 
from  the  words  of  Jesus  when  on  the  cross,  recom- 
mendiiig  his  mother  to  the  care  of  the  beloved  dis- 
ciple (John  xix.  26).  The  question  of  his  neigh- 
bors at  Nazareth,  as  recorded  by  Mark,  seems  to 
indicate  that  he  was  then  dead.     See  IMaky.

a  time,  taught  one  great  lesson,  and  was  heard  of

JOSEPH,  called  BAKSA'BAS  (.sm  of  the  old 
man,  or  wixdom).  Nf)minated  but  not  chosen  to 
fill  a  vacancy  in  the  12  (Acts  i.  2:5).  Also  called 
Justus.  The  fact  that  he  was  nominated  to  be  an 
apostle  shows  that  he  had  seen  Jesus,  heard  and 
believed,  and  had  been  with  the  others,  perhaps 
constantly.    Eusebius  says  he  was  one  of  the  70. 

JO'SES  (Jmis,  or  Joseph).  1.  Son  of  Eliezer 
(Luke  iii.  29).— 2.  Brother  of  Jesus  (Matt.  xiii.  55). 
—3.  Joses  Barnabas  (Acts  iv.  36). 

JOSE'PHIIS  (Greek- Latin  form  of  Joseph).  Fla- 


vius  JosEPHUs  is  the  ancient  historian,  whose 
works  were  composed  from  materials  found  in  the 
Scripture,  the  Apocrypha,  the  Targums,  and  in 
Jewish  traditions.  It  is  believed  that  he  intended 
to  tell  the  truth  so  far  as  he  knew,  except  when 
the  Jewish  people,  or  the  Roman  power  were  to  be 
flattered,  when  his  text  was  colored  for  that  pur- 
pose. Tills  may  be  the  reason  why  lie  so  carefully 
omitted  any  account  of  Jesus  and  his  teachings, 
which  must  have  caused  a  great  commotion  in  tne 
Jewish  church,  if  considered  only  in  the  light  of  a 
new  sect— the  Nazarenes.  Recent  explorations 
confirm  his  statements  in  matters  of  history,  ex- 
cept in  minute  figures,  in  which  exaggeration 
seems  to  have  been  sometimes  the  design. 

JO'SHAH  (joshaviah,  Jah  lets  dwell).  Chief  in 
Simeon.    Son  of  Amaziah  (1  Chr.  iv.  34). 

JOSHA'PHAT  (.JEHOSHAPHAT),  the  Mithnite,  a 
hero  in  David's  guard  (1  Chr.  xi.  43). 

JOSHAVI'AH  (Jah  lets  dwell).  Son  of  Elnaam, 
one  of  David's  guard  (1  Chr.  xi.  46). 

JOSHBEKA'SHAH  (Jah  sits  firm).  Son  of  He- 
man,  leader  of  the  16th  choir  (1  Chr.  xxv.  4). 

JOSHEBBAS'SEBET  {the  people  turn  to  Jah).  The 
Ethnite  (in  the  margin  of  2  Sam.  xxiii.  9). 

JOSH'UA  (  (Jah  his  help) .  (The  same  in  the  He- 
brew as  the  original  of  Jesus).  The  son  of  Nun, 
and  successor  of  Moses  as  leader  of  the  people. 
His  name  was  first  Oshea  (Num.  xiii.  8),  and  in 
the  N.  T.  he  is  called  Jesus  (Acts  vii.  45;  Heb.  iv. 
8).  He  was  of  the  tribe  of  Ephraim  (1  Chr.  vii. 
27).  He  is  first  mentioned  in  Ex.  xvii.,  at  the  time 
of  the  attack  of  the  Amalekites,  but  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  convey  that  he  was  well  known 
before;  and  Moses  at  that  time  indicated  him  as  his 
successor  by  giving  him  a  new  name  (or  title),  Je- 
hoshua  {salvation^.  He  was  one  of  the  12  spies 
(Num.  xiii.  16).  He  opposed  Aaron's  calf-wor- 
ship, and  he  with  Caleb  were  the  only  two  souls 
excepted  from  the  judgment  of  wandering  and 
dying  without  seeing  Canaan,  and  was  specially 
selected  even  when  Moses  was  rejected  at  the  wa- 
ters of  Meribah-Kadesh.  He  did  not  originate, 
his  office  and  work  being  comi)letion — leading  the 
people  into  the  Land  of  Promise,  dividing  and  oc- 
cupying Canaan,  and  destroying  their  enemies. 
Hispersonal  and  official  life  is  without  a  blemish, 
except  the  hasty  treaty  with  the  Gibeonites.  Tiie 
people  of  Israel  under  Joshua  were  nearest  to  the 
original  conception  of  a  united,  obedient,  willing, 
company  of  children  serving  a  father.  But  he  was 
not  perfect;  since  he  did  riot  occupy  all  the  land, 
nor  prevent  the  bitter  quarrels  which  divided  the 
people  after  his  day.  He  received  his  commission 
(or  had  it  confirmed),  in  the  same  manner  as  Paul 
did,  in  a  vision  (Josh.  v.  13-15),  from  the  Lord  Je- 
sus (when  he  was  84).  He  was  a  type  of  Jesus 
the  Christ,  as  was  also  Jeshua,  the  high-priest,  in 
the  second  redemption  of  the  nation  (Zcch.  iii.). 
See  Book  of  Joshua  in  the  History  of  the 
Books,  and  Timnath  Sekah.  He  died  at  the  age 
of  110. 

JOSH'UA.  Jeshija.  The  son  of  Josedech,  who 
was  carried  away  by  Nebuchadn(v,zar  (1  Chr.  vi. 
15),  and  high-priest  after  the  return  from  BaViylon. 

There  are  several  other  persons  of  this  name,  of 
whom  very  little  is  known. 

JOSI'AH  (yoshiahu,  Jah  heals).  1.  Son  of 
Anion,  and  15th  king  of  Judah,  from  B.  C.  641  to 
610,  reipning  31  yrs.,  from  8  yrs.  old.  His  history  is 
given  in  2  K.  xxii.,  xxiv. ;  2  Chr.  xxxiv.,  xxxy.,and 
Jeremiah  i.  to  xii.  In  his  day  the  Temple  was  re- 
paired and  the  Book  of  the"  Law  was  found  (see 
History  of  the  Books)  .  He  was  wounded  in  a 
battle  against  Pharaoh  Necho,  and  died  near  Jeru- 
salem, where  he  was  buried  with  great  display. — 2. 
Son  of  Zephaniah  (Zech.  vi.  9). 

JOSIBi'AH  {Jah  makes  to  dwell).  Father  of 
Jehu  (1  Chr.  iv.  35).

(Judg.  ix.  5).  Ills  parable  of  the  bramble  is  the 
oldest  of  its  kind,  lie  lived  at  Beer.— 2.  Son  of 
king  Uzziah,  succeeding  him  to  the  throne  of

JtJ'DAH  (yehtjdah,  praise  Jah).  The  Jew  or 
Hebrew.  Juda.  Judah.  1.  Fourth  son  of  Jacob, 
by  Leah.  His  brothers  were  Reuben,  Simeon, 
hexi  (Judah),  Issachar,  Zebulon.  He  was  a 
leader  in  family  matters  from  his  youth  up,  and 
more  is  known  of  him  than  of  any  other  except 
Joseph.  Reuben  advised  the  brothers  to  throw 
Joseph  into  the  pit,  and  Judah  proposed  the  sale 
to  the  traders,  both  acting  honorably  to  themselves, 
wishing  to  save  the  life  of  Joseph  (Gen.  xxvii. 
26).  See  Joseph  for  Judah's  conduct  in  Egypt 
(Gen.  xliv.  14,  16-34).  Judah  went  before  Jacob 
into  Egypt  (xlvi.).  Jacob  honors  Judah  first  in 
his  blessings  (xlix.  8-10).  He  had  5  sons,  3  by  a 
Canaanite,  the  daughter  of  Shuah — Er,  Onan  and 
Shelah— and  2  by  the  widow  of  Er  (Tamar), 
Pharez  and  Zerah.  (See  12  Tribes).  The  boun- 
daries of  Judah  are  more  carefully  noted  than 
any  of  the  others  (Josh.  xv.  20-63).  The  district 
was  about  45  miles  N.  to  S.,  and  nearly  60  wide  E. 
to  W.  See  Palestine,  Geology,  Climate,  King- 
dom OF  Judah.— 2.  A  Levite  ancestor  of  Kadmiel 
(Ezr.  iii.  9). — 3.  A  Levite,  who  had  a  Gentile  wife 
(x.  23). — 4.  A  Benjamite,  son  of  Senuah  (xi.  9). 
— 5.  Assisted  in  dedicating  the  wall  (xii.  34). 

JU'DAH,  KINGDOM  OF.  The  kingdom  actually 
began  with  the  revolt  of  the  10  tribes,  but  was 
really  a  continuation  of  the  kingdom  of  Saul  and 
Davfd.  The  kingdom  was  an  original  element  in 
the  system  that  Moses  projected,  and  the  first 
elections,  of  Saul,  David  and  Solomon,  were  di- 
vinely directed.  See  list  of  kings  in  Israel.  Reho- 
boam,  Solomon's  son  and  successor,  lost  the  ten 
tribes,  and  also  suffered  from  the  Pharaoh  Shis- 
HAK,  who  robbed  the  temple  (2  Chr.  xii.). 

Jehoshaphat  was  the  greatest  king  after  David, 
and  increased  the  power  and  wealth  of  his  people. 
His  ships  being  destroyed  in  a  storm,  his  scheme 
for  commerce  was  given  up. 

A  grave  error  was  committed  in  a  marriage  with 
the  house  of  Ahab,  Jehoram  taking  Athaliah  for  a 


wife,  who  introduced  her  mother  Jezebel's  image- 
worship. 

The  treasures  of  the  temple  or  of  the  king  were 
several  times  carried  away  from  Judah.  All  the 
vast  hoards  of  David  and  Solomon  were  lost  by 
Rehoboam  to  Shishak  (1  K  xiv.  26);  Benhadad 
took  from  Asa  the  savings  of  40  years.  Jehoash 
sent  to  Ilazael  all  that  Jehoshaphat,  Jehoram, 
Ahaziah,  and  himself  had  dedicated,  besides  his 
private  wealth  (2  K.  xii.  18);  Jehoash  of  Israel 
took  from  Amaziah  all  the  treasures  (xiv.  11-14); 
Ahaz  surrendered  to  Tiglath  Pileser  (xvi.  8);  Hez- 
ekiah  to  Sennacherib  300  talents  of  silver,  and  30 
of  gold  (xviii.  14-1());  in  the  days  of  Josiah  (or 
after  he  was  killed)  the  Pharaoh  could  only  collect 
100  talents  of  silver,  and  1  talent  of  gold,  by  taxa- 
tion, there  being  no  treasure  in  the  temple,  and 
(perhaps  a  mistake)  Nebuchadnezzar  carried  off 
all  the  treasures  of  the  temple,  with  the  very  ves- 
sels that  Solomon  had  made  (xxiv.  13),  5400  in 
number  (Ezra  i.  11).  The  royal  line  was  twice 
almost  destroyed,  by  Jehu,  and  by  Athaliah.  The 
real  cause  ofdecav  in  this  power  was  the  contest 
between  the  Churcli  and  the  State;  the  priest  grew 
stronger  as  the  king  was  weaker.  Faction  grew 
bold  and  fierce,  and  bloodshed  was  common  (Ez. 
xxii.).  The  nation  grew  wealthy,  luxurious,  super- 
stitious, idolatrous,  with  only  a  formal  show  of 
true  religion.  The  king  appointed  the  high-priest, 
but  did  not  dare  to  depose  one.  The  high-priests 
gained  more  honor  than  the  kings — especially  it 
was  a  great  honor  to  trace  to  Zadok  the  priest. 
But  the  nation  could  not  be  saved  even  by  a  pure 
high-priesthood.  Society  was  corrupt,  and  full  of 
contention,  and  unable  to  defend  itself  against 
Egypt  and  Babylon.  The  kingdom  lasted  487  yrs. ; 
387  after  Israel'seceded,  and  133  after  Israel's  cap- 
tivity. 


J0'DAS  (Greek-Latin  form  of  Judah).  1.  In  1 
Esd.  ix.  23.-2.  3d  son  of  Mattathias,  the  Macca- 
bseus  (1  Mace.  ii.  4,  etc.).— Son  of  Calphi  (xi.  70). 
— 4.  A  Jew  in  Jerusalem  (2  Mace.  i.  10).— 5.  Son 
of  Simon,  and  brother  of  John  Hyrcanus  (1  Mace, 
xvi.  2).— 6.  The  patriarch  Judah,  in  Matt.  i.  2,  3. 
— 7.  A  man  in  Damascus,  who  lodged  Paul  (Saul) 
after  his  conversion  (Acts  ix.  11).— 8.  Bar'sabas 
a  leading  member  of  the  Church  at  Jerusalem 
(Acts  XV.  22),  a  prophet  (v.  32),  chosen  with  Silas 
to  go  with  Barnabas  and  Saul  to  Antioch  as  dele- 
gates on  the  Gentile  convert  (juestion  (v.  27).— 9. 
Of  Galilee,  the  leader  of  a  revolt  in  the  time  of 
Quirinus  (A.  D.  6),  mentioned  by  Gamaliel  in  his 
speech  before  the  Sanhedrin  (Acts  v.  37).  He 
was  a  religious  enthusiast,  whose  motto  was,  "We 
have  no  iord  or  Master  but  God. "  See  Jos.  xviii. 
1,  §1. 

JU'DAS  ISCAR'IOT  (from  Kerioth,  his  native 
place).  Son  of  Simon  (John  vi.  71).  His  early 
life  is  not  recorded.  He  was  awarded  the  unhappy 
notoriety  of  betraying  Jesus,  his  Lord  and  Master. 
He  must  have  been  a  useful  man  among  the  12, 
because  he  was  appointed  their  steward  (John  xii. 
G) .  Jesus  knew  his  character  from  the  first  (vi.  64) ; 
but  no  one  else  even  suspected  him  up  to  the  very 
last  day,  when  Peter  and  John  were  only  made  to 
know  by  a  private  sign  from  the  Master  who  was 
the  betrayer  (xiii.  26).   He  got  from  the  high-priest

30  shekels,  the  price  of  a  slave,  but  returned  the 
money  when  repentance  overtook  him,  after  the 
crucifixion.  His  tender  heart  and  quick  conscience 
appears  in  the  fact  that  he  killed  himself  rather 
than  live  with  the  feeling  of  remorse  for  his  crime. 
Some  have  thought  that  he  believed  that  Jesus 
would  be  able  to  free  himself  from  the  priests,  and 
stand  higher  tlian  ever  for  the  trial;  others  think 
that  he  as  well  as  the  rest  believed  Jesus  was 
delaying  the  opening  of  his  temporal  kingdom, 
and  that  he  would  only  force  him  to  declare  his 
power  and  majesty  by  bringing  him  face  to  face 
with  his  enemies.  While  these  theories  are  only 
Ijossibly  true  in  a  slight  degree,  the  love  of  money 
was  beyond  question  a  motive.  The  other  11  were 
weak,  perplexed,  vascillating,  faint-hearted,  but 
Judas  was  active  and  speculative,  in  the  trying 
moment,  his  religion  is  only  a  servant  to  his  worldly 
interest,  and  he  perhaps  discovc^red  that  the  spirit- 
ual kingdom  would  not  pay.  This  is  why  he  was 
dishonest  in  his  stewardship  (John  xii!  4),  and 
grudged  the  value  of  the  perfume  that  Mary  hon- 
ored Jesus  v.ith  at  Bethany,  nis  presence  among 
the  12  is  explained  in  "  The  presence  of  such  a  false 
friend  in  the  company  of  his  disciples  was  needed 
to  complete  the  circle  of  Christ's  trials  and  tempta- 
tions." David  in  the  Psalms  describes  such  a 
character,  whose  words  were  smooth  as  butter ; 
whose  actions  were  drawn  swords ;  who  ate  his 
meat,  and  lifted  his  heel  against  him. 

It  seems  probable  that  Judas  did  not  stay  to  the 
Lord's  Supper. 

JUDAS.  JuDE.  A  disciple,  writer  of  the  Epis- 
tle (see  niSTORY  OF  THE  BooKs).  He  was  "brother 
of  James"  (Judel),  "the  Lord's  brother"  (Gal.  i. 
19;  ii.  9,  12;  Matt.  xlii.  55;  Mark  vi.  3).  He  was 
not  an  apostle,  for  he  did  not  believe  on  Jesus  as 
the  Christ  until  after  the  crucifixion  (John  vii.  5). 
Only  one  question  of  liis  to  Jesus  is  all  that  is  re- 
corded of  him  (Jolm  xiv.  22).  Eusebius  (History 
iii.  20,  32),  says  the  Lord's  relatives  were  feared 
by  the  Emperor  Doi^iitian,  and  were  known  as 
late  as  the  end  of  Trajan's  reign. 

JtJD^A.  Jude'a  {Jevh 
iKh) .  The  Ronian  name 
of  the  territory  of  Judah 
or  the  southern  of  the 
thret'  divisions,  Galilee, 
1  tSamaria,  Judea.  (See 
I  the  Map).  Jewry  in  John 
vii.  1,  and  Dan.  v.  13.  Ju- 
dea <ilso  in  Ezra  v.  8,  on 
the  return  from  the  cap- 
tivity. The  chief  interest 
in  Juilipa  is  in  Jerusalem 
and  its  vicinity,  although 
there  are  many  names  of 
cities  all  over  its  territory,  connected  with  inter- 
esting persons  and  events. 

JUDiE  A,  THE  WILDERNESS  OF.  "Was  along  the 
W.  shore  of  tiie  Dead  Sea. 

JUDG'ES  (shofetim).  Patriarchal  seniors  who 
administered  justice,  usually  the  chief  or  head  of 
a  tribe  (Sheikh).  Moses  introduced  the  system  on 
the  advice  of  his  father-in-law,  Jethro  (Ex.  xviii). 
There  were  two  distinct  orders  of  judges.  1.  The 
leader,  or  chief  of  the  whole  nation,  instead  of  or 
before  the  kings  were  elected. — 2.  The  elder 
princes  or  chiefs  of  families.  A  list  of  judges 
over  all  Israel  is  given  in  Chronology,  page  57. 
For  Book  of  Jtjbges  see  History  op  the  Books. 

JTIDG'MENT.  Judicial  decision.  Sentence  of  a 
judge.  The  Day  of  Judgment  (Matt.  x.  5;  xi.  22), 
the  great  day  (Jude  6),  last  day  (John  xi.  24),  in 
which  Christ  will  judge  the  world  (Acts  xvii.  31; 
John  V.  22),  in  righteousness  (Matt.  xxv.  31-40; 
2  Cor.  V.  10;  Rev.  xx.).  See  Advent.  Some  be- 
lieve that  resurrection  follows  immediately  after 
death,  and  that  judgment  is  already  pronounced 


HEAD  OF  JtTPITER. 


on  ourselves  by  our  lives,  the  Christ  only  canying 
out  the  sentence,  so  that  the  woiid  may  contmuo 
without  end,  and  souls  go  to  their  final  account, 
the  judgment  never  ending.  See  Hades.  Others 
hold  that  the  resurrection  is  reserved  to  the  end  of 
the  world,  when  there  will  be  no  more  souls  born, 
and  all  the  dead  from  the  beginning  will  be  raised 
at  one  time.  It  seems  more  probable  that  the  spirit 
world,  heaven,  is  entered  at  once  by  the  blessed 
soul,  recognizing  friends,  relatives,  the  ancient 
worthies,  Jesus  and  God  the  Father.  See  Resur- 
rection. 

JUDG'MENT  HALL  (Gr.  ?3TO«Yon>/i) ,  ( John  xviiii. 
28).  This  has  been  located  in  Pilate's  house,  and 
in  Herod's  palace,  and  in  the  Castle  Antonia. 
There  was  another  hall  at  Csesarea  (Jos.  Ant.  xv. 
9,  §_6). 

JU'DITH  (YEHUDiTH,  Jewess).  1.  Wife  of  Esau, 
dau.  of  Beeri;  also  called  Aholibama  (Gen.  xxvi. 
31,  XXX vi.  2). — 2.  Judith  the  heroine  of  the  Book 
of  Judith;  see  History. 

JU'LIA  (feminine  of  Julius).  A  disciple  at  Rome, 
wife(?)  of  Philologus  (Rom.  xvi.  16). 

JU'IilUS.  Centurion  of  the  "Augustus  Band,"

Bsthcm.  The  bush  is  the  largest  in  the  desert, 
and  gives  shade  from  the  sun,  wind,  and  rain,  and 
theBedawins  make  charcoal  from  the  twigs  (illus- 
trating Ps.  cxx.  4).  Job  speaks  of  eating  rothem 
roots  (xxx.  4),  as  a  picture  of  abject  poverty  and 
want.  Elijah  slept  under  a  broom  bush  (Rob.  L 
203)_. 

JU'PITER  (Gr.  Zms,  Latin  Jupiter,  Divum-

sion (Deut.  xxv.  1;  l^rov.  xvii.  15;  Is.  v."  22;  Ps. 
cxliii.  2).  It  is  opposed  by  condemn  (Gr.  katak- 
rino),  in  Rom.  viii.  3.'{,  34.  By  the  deeds  of  the 
law  there  shall  no  flesh  be  justified  in  God's  sight 
(iii.  20).  It  is  a  judicial  act  of  God,  by  which  the 
sinner  is  declared  innocent,  as  if  he"^  had  never 
sinned,  not  because  of  works,  but  of  Christ's 
righteousness;  the  means  by  which  it  is  appre- 
hended is  faith.  Justifi(>d  by  faith  and  through 
faith  (iii.  28,  iv.  5;  Gal.  ii.  16,'  iii.  8). 

JUSTIFY.  The  faith  that  justifies  is  a  working 
living  faith,  and  must  so  prove  itself  whenever  oc- 
casion demands.

K 


EAB'ZE£l  (paiTicrcd  hi/  El).  Judah  .n  the  S. 
E.  (Josh.  XV.  I'l).  The  native  place  of  Benaiah, 
one  of  David's  "mic,hty  men"  (2  Sam.  xxiii.  20; 
1  Chr.  xi.  22).  Jekabze'el  in  Xeli.  xi.  25,  where  it 
is  one  of  the  phices  occupied  after  the  return  from 
captivity.  It  was  probably  a  sheplierd  .settk'ment 
(so  many  of  which  are  known),  its  name  being 
derived  from  "the  gathering  of  the  flocks." 

KABBALAH.  Reception;  doctrine  received 
orally.  'Die  teachings  are:  1.  tiod  is  above  every- 
thing; even  above  being  and  flunking.  Therefore 
it  cannot  be  said  truly  tliat  he  has  either  a  will, 
desire,  thouglit,  action — language,  because  these 
Vielong  to  finite  man.  He  caniujt  be  comprehended 
by  the  intellect,  nor  described  with  words.  He  is 
in  a  peculiar  sense  without  life,  for  He  cannot  die, 
and  He  in  a  certain  sense  does  not  exist,  because 
that  which  is  incomprehensible  does  not  exist  to 
us.  He  therefore  made  known  some  properties  of 
His  existence  to  us. 

Tlie  will  to  create  implies  limit,  therefore  the 
imperfect  world,  limited  and  finite,  is  no  work  of 
the  infinite;  but  since  there  cannot  be  any  accident 
or  chance  where  infinite  wisdom  resides,'the  world 
(and  universe)  must  have  been  indirectly  created 
by  the  10  intelligences  (sefiroth),  which  emanate 
from  the  One"  original  enuination,  the  infinite 
int^'Uigence  (en  sef).  Tliese  10  ])owers  have 
bodies,  the  one  original  emanation  (not  created) 
has  a  form  also^  They  are  divided  into  3 
groups;  which  operate  on  the  3  worlds,  of 
intellect,  of  souls,  and  of  matter. 

All  human  souls  are  pre-existent  in  the  world  of 
sefiroth,  and  must  live  the  life  of  probation  on  the 
earth.  If  its  life  is  pure  it  rises  to  the  spliere  of 
the  sefiroth;  but  if  it  sins,  it  will  have  to  live  over 
and  over  again  until  it  becomes  pure.  (Some  say 
the  limit  is  to  3  trials).  The  souls  that  have  lived 
have  the  first  right  to  new-born  bodies,  and  so 
there  are  many  waiting  even  for  the  first  chance, 
and  Messiah  cannot  be  born  until  all  others  have 
been  born,  at  the  end  of  days.  This  is  a  herme- 
neutical  (explaining  Scripture)  system,  invented 
to  satisfy  those  Jews  who  did  not  agree  v/ith  the 
descriptions  of  heaven  by  the  prophets. 

THE  ENDLESS.

colossal — foundations,  oil-presses,  cisterns,  and 
posts  of  liouses,  and  great  numbers  of  columns

was  in  the  vicinity.  It  was  captured  by  Tiglath 
Pileser,  with  other  towns,  and  its  people  removed 
to  Assyria  (2  K.  xv.).  The  tomb  of  Barak  was 
shown  in  the  12th  century  (Benjamin  of  Ttidela). 
The  site  is  beautiful.  A  little  green  plain  among 
the  mountains,  with  a  border  of  wooded  hills,  and 
well  watered.  The  ruins  on  a  rounded  tell,  which 
was  once  fortified,  and  the  broken  columns  and 
handsome  capitals,  sarcophagi,  and  heaps  of  hewn 
stones,  show  its  former  grandeur.— 2.  In  Issachar

aces, theatres,  towers,  churches  (of  the  early 
Christians),  and  many  private  houses  with  doors

A.  D.  296.  The  houses  had  walls  four  to  eight 
feet  thick,  of  solid  basalt,  with  roofs  of  slabs'  of

KID  RON  (turbid).  In  the  original  Hebrew  it  is

See  KiVKR).  East  of  the  walls  of  Jerusalem,  at 
the  foot  of  Olivet  (2  Sam.  xv.  23;  John  xviii.  1). 
Now  called  the  Valley  of  Jehoshapliat.  It  is  in 
most  places  narrow,  with  steep,  naked  banks,  and 
only  a  few  strips  of  cultivable  land.  The  Tyro- 
pcEon  joins  it  at  the  Pool  of  Siloaui,  and  the  llin- 
nom  at  En  liogel,  all  three  formiag  what  is  now 
called  tlie  Wady  en  Nar  (fire),  leading  to  Mar  Saba 
and  the  Dead  Sea.  The  whole  valley  is  filled  with 
tombs  and  graves.  The  most  ardent  desire  of  every 
dying  Jew  (or  Mohannnedan)  of  Palestine  is  to  be 
buried  there.  Dr.  Barclay  mentions  a  fountain  in 
the  north  end  of  the  valley,  flowing  in  winter  seve- 
ral hundred  yards,  and  sinking  out  of  sight,  pro- 
bably running  under  ground,  being  covered  many 
feet  deep  by  rubbish,  as  proved  by  recent  digging 
through  the  accunuilation,  near  the  temple  area 
(see  Jerusalem),  and  heard  murmuring  at  En 
Kogel,  and  also  two  miles  down  the  valley,  where 
water  was  found  in  midsummer.  William  of  Tyre 
and  Brocardus  heard  the  subterranean  waters  in 
their  day.  Where  the  path  from  St.  Stephen's 
Gate  crosses  the  valley  there  is  a  bridge,  with  one 
arch  17  feet  high,  near  which  are  the  church  and 
tomb  of  the  Virgin  and  the  garden  of  Gethsemane. 
Another  bridge,  on  a  single  arch,  crosses  near  the 
Absalom  tomb.  The  temple  area  wall  is  here  150 
feet  above  the  bottom  of  the  valley.

KING  (melech;  Gr.  basileus).  A  title  applied 
to  men.  Sometimes  it  is  used  of  men  who  were 
only  leaders  or  rulers  of  one  city,  as  the  king  of 
Sodom,  etc.  This  form  of  government  seems  to  be 
native  to  the  East.  The  will  of  one  man  rather 
than  the  union  of  many.  The  true  king  of  Israel, 
as  designed  by  Moses,  was  God;  and  that  form  of 

fovernment  is  called  a  theocracy  (Gr.  theos,  god), 
loses  saw  that  a  visible  king  would  be  wanted, 
and  provided  for  such  a  state  (Deut.  xvii.  14-20). 
The  king  was  to  be  anointed  with  oil  (1  Sam.  x.  1), 
and  was  called,  therefore,  "the  Lord's  anointed." 
This  was  an  ancient  Egyptian  custom.  Anointing. 

KINGDOM  OF  GOD.  The  divine  kingdom  of 
Jesus  the  Christ.  Matthew  only  says  "kingdom 
of  the  heavens"  for  the  state  of  things  to  be  ex- 
pected at  the  coming  of  the  Messiah,  as  soon  as 
converted  sinners  become  citizens  of  the  heavenly 
kingdom  (Rev.  i.  6).  For  Book  of  Kings,  see 
History. 

KING'S  DALE  (Gen.  xiv.  17;  2  Sam.  xviii.  18). 
(SHAVEH,  level  place).  The  Plain  of  Rephaim. 
Absalom's  pillar,  a  name  given  to  a  modern  struc- 
ture (of  the  later  Roman  age  in  stj'le),  is  amis- 
take,  for  his  pillar  was  reared  up  m  a  plain  or 
broad  valley  (Emek.  See  Plain).  See  cut  of 
Absalom's  Tomb,  page  1. 

KIR  (a  tmll).  I^Tiere  the  people  of  Damascus 
were  carried  by  the  king  of  Assyria  (2  K.  xvi.  9). 
Elam  and  Kir  are  mentioned  together  by  Lsaiah 
(xxii.  6).  The  river  Cjtus,  flowing  from  the  Cau- 
casus to  the  Caspian  Sea,  still  bears  its  ancient 
name,  Kur.  But  it  is  not  yet  known  where  the 
city  or  district  was  located.  Kerend  is  offered,  and 
also  Carna,  botli  cities  in  Media.  Elam  (which 
see)  was  near  the  Persian  Gulf,  and  Kir  may  have 
been  a  variant  name  for  Kish,  the  eastern  Ethiopia. 


KIR  HA'RESjI,  KIR  HAR'ASETH,  KIR  HAR'E- 
SETH,  KIR  HE  RES  (brick  fort)  and  KIR  MO'AB 

(2  K.  iii.  2.".;  Is.  xvi.  7;  Jer.  xlviii.  31,  M).  Une 
of  the  chief  fortified  cities  of  Moab  (built  of  brick 
— heres).  When  Joram,  king  of  Israel,  invaded 
Moab,  Kir  was  the  only  city  not  taken,  and  this 
was  saved  by  the  sacrifice  by  the  king  of  Moab  of 
his  eldest  son,  on  the  wall  (2  K.  iii.  27).  Kerak 
(the  modern  name)  stands  on  the  top  of  a  rocky 
hill,  about  10  miles  from  the  Dead  Sea,  and  3,000 
feet  above  its  level.  It  was  at  one  time  strongly 
fortified,  on  the  top  of  a  high  hill,  surrounded  on 
all  sides  by  a  deep  valley,  and  again  enclosed  bv 
mountains  higher  than  the  town,  from  which 
liights  the  slingers  threw  stones  into  the  city,  as 
mentioned  in  2  K.  iii.  25.  The  entrances  to  the 
ancient  city  were  only  two,  and  tunnelled  through 
the  solid  rock  for  a  hundred  feet,  on  the  north  and 
south.  On  the  western  side  stands  the  citadel,  ft 
strong  building,  built  by  the  Crusaders,  containing 
a  chapel,  on  the  walls  of  which  are  some  rude 
paintings.  On  clear  days  Bethlehem  and  Jerusa- 
lem may  be  seen  from  here.

MOABITl    STONE. 


Rev.  Mr.  Klein  (of  the  Palestine  Exploration) 
in  1868  found  a  Semitic  monument  in  Moab, 
on  which  there  is  an  inscription  (translated  by 
Mr.  Deutsch,  of  the  British  Museum),  giving  an 
account  of  many  cities  named  in  the  Bible,  wliich 
king  Mesha  built,  among  which  is  Karkha  (Kerak). 
This  is  the  oldest  monument  in  the  Phoenician 
language  that  is  known.  It  adds  to  our  knowledge 
of  that  day.  In  2  K.  i.  1,  is  a  mention  of  a  rebel- 
lion of  Moab,  which  was  put  down  by  Israel  and 
Judah.  This  stone  gives  particulars,  not  in  the 
Bible,  of  the  acts  of  the  king  of  Moab;  his  con- 
quest of  cities;  rebuilding  others;  his  religious 
wars;  and  that  he  believed  himself  divinely  guided 
by  the  god  Chemosh. 

Almost  the  whole  of  the  Greek  alphabet  is  found 
on  this  stone,  such  as  is  in  use  now,  and  identical 
with  the  Phoenician,  even  including  those  letters 
which  were  supposed  to  have  been  added  during 
the  Trojan  war;  and  also  the  Greek  letter  upsilon, 
which  was  supposed  to  have  been  added  later.  The 
most  ancient  letters  are  here  shown  to  be  the  most 
simple — mere  outlines.

"glories  of  the  country,"  named  among  the  de- 
nunciations of  Jeremiah  (xlviii.  i.  23). 

SIR'JATH  ( Josh,  xviii.  28).  In  Benjamin.  Lost. 
—2.  KiRJATHAiM,  KiEiATHAiii  {dmiblti  city).  Reu- 
ben, a  little  south  of  Ileslibon  (Xum.  xxxii.  27). 
It  was  a  large  Christian  village  in  the  time  of  Eu- 
sebius  and  Jerome.  Kurdydt  is  a  ruin  near  Jebd 
Attarus,  south  of  Wady  Zurka  Main,  south  of 
which  is  a  level  plateau  called  e^  Koiira  {plain), 
which  may  be  the  Plain  of  Moab.  It  is  one  of  the 
oldest  of  Bible  cities  (Gen.  xiv.  5).  It  was  on  the 
"  Plain  "  (sliaveh)  Kiriathaim  tliat  the  Emims  were 
smitten  by  the  eastern  kings  who  plundered  Sodom. 
— 3.  A  town  of  Naphtali  (1  Chr.  vi.  76).  Kartan. — 
4.  KiRJATH  Arba.  Hebron.  It  is  supposed  that 
Hebron  was  the  ancient  name,  the  Canaanites  call- 
ing it  Kirjath  Arba  on  their  taking  possession, 
when  tlie  Israelites  restored  the  ancient  name.  A 
tradition  says  the  city  was  called  Arba,  or  faur, 
because  Adiim,  Abraham,  Isaac,  and  Jacob  were 
buried  there.  But  Joshua  says  Arba  was  a  great 
man  fxiv.  1.5).— 5.  Kirjath  Baal  (Baal's  city), 
(Josh.'  XV.  CO,  xviii.  14).  Kirjath  Jearim. — 6.  Kir- 
jath HuzoTH.  Where  Balaam  was  conducted  by 
Balak  to  oiler  sacrifice  (Num.  xxii.  30).  Kureiyat.

tricked  Josliua.  Also  Kirjath  Arim,  peopled  after 
after  the  Captivity  (Ezr.  ii.  2.5).  A  boundary 
(Josh.  XV.  y).  The  ark  remained  here  20  years 
after  it  was  brought  from  Bethsheniesh,  until  it  was 
removed  l)y  David  to  Jerusalem  (1  Sara.  vii.).  Now 
Kuryd  el  Ewfb  {city  of  (/rapes,). 

The  Danites  pitched'" behind  Kirjath  Jearim" 
on  the  eve  of  their  expedition  to  Laisli,  and  the 
name  Mahaneh  Dan  (camp  of  Dan)  remained  for 
a  long  time  after  they  left  (Judg.  viii.  12).  Em- 
MAus,  where  Jesus  appeared  after  his  resurrection 
(Mark  xvi.  12;  Luke  xxiv.  13-35),  is  located  here 
by  recent  scholars.  The  exploits  of  a  noted  robber 
sheikh  who  lived  here  has  given  it  the  name  of 
Abu  Gosh  (father  of  lies)  village.  There  are  a  few 
houses  around  an  old  convent  (Minorite),  and  a 
Latin  church,  one  of  the  most  solidly  built  in  Pal- 
estine.—8.  Kirjath  Sannah  {citi/  of  'pabns),

KISH'ION  {hard).  Issachar,  in  Esdraelon  (Josh. 
xix.  20).     Kedesh  (1  Chr.  vi.  72).

large  spring  of  water  at  Daberath  {Demrteh)  at  the 


X.  W.  foot  of  Mt.  Tabor,  and  by  another  large 
fountain  at  En  Gannim  {Jen in),  which  is  its  most 
remote  source  ;  and  also  by  the  waters  of  Megiddo 
(a  spring  at  Lejjuii),  running  along  the  north  base 
of  Cariuel.  After  receiving  many  small  tributa- 
ries from  the  hills  on  each  side,  it  enters  the  plain 
of  Acre  by  the  narrow  pass  between  Harosheth 
{Tdl  llomtitih)  and  Carmel,  ju.st  below  which  it 
receives  Wady  .Malik,  with  the  drainage  from  the 
plain  of  Zebuion  {Buttauf),  as  far  as  Mt.  Kuru 
Hattin,  Araba,  and  Jabel  Kaukab,  near  Cana.  Be- 
low this  point  it  is  fed  by  the  very  copious  foun- 
tains {Saadiydi)  three  miles  S.  E.  of  llepha 
{(Jaiffa),  SiWLl  others  from  under  Carmel  (Shaw), 
when  it  empties  into  tlie  Bay  of  Acre  near  Caiffa, 
the  last  few  miles  only  being  a  river  with  water 
the  year  round,  flowing  between  banks  of  loamy 
soil  fifteen  feef  high,  with  a  stream  50  to  75  feet 
across.  The  whole  system  of  tributaries  above 
Harosheth  are  dry  wadys  through  the  summer  or 
dry  season.  There  are  many  historical  associations 
belonging  to  this  river,  referred  to  in  other  i^laces.

little  use  of  the  knive  at  the  talde.  Jeremiah 
speaks  of  a  pen-knife  (xxxvi.  23) .  The  razor  was 
used  to  shave  the  head  of  the  Nazarite  (Num.  vi. 
5,  etc.),  and  the  bodies  of  priests  in  Egypt  (Hero-

SIEGE  OT  LAcnisn. 


LA'CHISH  (obstinate).  An  ancient  royal  Amor- 
ite  city  (Josh.  x.  3),  whose  king,  Japliia,  joined 
tlie  alliance  with  Adonizedec,  king  of  Jerusalem, 
to  smite  Gibeon  for  making  a  ti-eaty  with  Joshua. 
The  allied  kings  were  defeated  at  Beth-horon,  and 
were  hanged  at  Makkedah  (v.  26).  The  city  was 
taken  on  the  second  day.  Dr.  Robinson  found  the 
site  on  a  rocky  hill,  having  but  few  ruins,  11  miles 
S.  W.  of  Beit  Jibrin,  only  two  miles  W.  of  Eglon. 
Lachish  was  fortified  by  Rehoboam,  after  the  sepa- 
ration of  the  kingdom  of  Israel  (2  Chr.  xi.  9). 
Amaziah  fled  to  it  as  a  secure  place  (2  K.  xiv.  19). 
It  is  supposed  that  the  city  was  not  taken,  because 
it  is  said,  in  2  Kings  xix.  8,  that  "Sennacherib  had 
departed  from  Lachish,"  and,  in  2  Chr.  xxxii.  1, 
that  he  had  "  thought  to  win  "  the  fenced  cit'.es  of 
Judah.    It  was  taken  by  Sennacherib  when  on  his

ley between  Ilermon  and  Lebanon,  at  one  of  the 
great  fountains  of  the  Jordan.  Its  ancient  name 
was  Leshem  (Jo.sh.  xix.  47),  and  it  was  an  ancient 
sanctuary. 

The  Laish  of  Isaiah  x.  .30  was  near  Jerusalem.

LAMP,  ner,  light,  (Ex.  xxv.  37;  1  K.  vii.  49, 
etc.).  The  lamp  used  in  the  tabernacle,  and  the 
ten  in  the  temjile.  The  ancient  lamps  were  rude 
in  design,  small,  and  were  supi>lied  with  olive  oil, 
and  trimmed  with  a  wick  of  flax.  Many  specimens 
have  been  found  lately  in  Palestine,  among  ancient 
ruins.    See  cuts  on  pages  6,  14,  15,  40,  etc. 

There  are  several  other  names  for  lamp.  1. 
IYER ;  2.  LAPPID,  torch  ( Judg.  vii.  16,  20) ;  3.  Gr. 
lampns,  a  light  (Acts  xx.  8).  The  lamp  was  car- 
ried in  marriage  processions  (Matt,  xxv.),  and  the 
Mohammedans  use  very  ornamental  and  showy 
patterns  in  their  ceremonies.  The  wick  now  used 
is  generally  of  cotton  twisted  around  a  straw. 
Gideon's  lamps  might  have  been  of  similar  make 
to  the  modern  paper  or  cloth  lanterns.  The  cloth 
is  waxed,  and  stretched  over  a  wire  frame  or  rings, 
and  is  contrived  so  as  to  close  up  in  a  small  space 
when  not  in  use.  The  small  size  of  the  lamp  made 
it  necessary  to  carry  a  little  jug  of  oil,  or  to  have 
the  lamp  filled  if  a  whole  evening  was  passed  away 
from  home.  The  lantern  is  a  "protection  against 
the  wild  dogs  of  the  streets,  who  are  sure  to  attack 
any  one  in  the  dark.

LAODICE'A  (Kev.  i.  11,  iii.  14;  Col.  iv.  13,  15). 
There  were  four  of  the  same  name  :  1.  In  Phry- 
gia,  near  Hierapolis  ; — 2.  In  the  east  of  Phrygia  ; 
— 3.  On  the  coast  of  Syria,  the  port  of  Aleppo ; 
— 4.  East  of  Lebanon.  The  first  is  the  only  one 
mentioned  in  Scripture,  as  one  of  the  seven 
CHURCHES  (which  see). 

LAODICE'A.  An  ancient  city  on  the  Lycus,  in 
the  valley  of  the  Meander,  forty  miles  east  of 
Ephesus.  Its  site  was  on  seven  hills,  which  were 
drained  by  two  brooks,  the  Asopus  and  Caprus. 
The  ruins  are  of  a  stadium,  in  very  complete  pre- 


servation, three  theatres  (one  of  which  was  450 
feet  in  diameter),  bridges,  aqueducts,  and  a  gym- 
nasium, which  testify  to  its  ancient  wealth  and 
importance.  Its  original  name  was  Diospolis, 
(the  city  of  Jupiter),  which  was  changed  toRlioas, 
under  which  title  it  became  the  largest  city  in 
Phyrgia  (Pliny).  Antiochus  II  gave  it  the  name 
of  nis  wife,  Laodike. 

It  became  the  seat  of  an  archbishop,  and  in  its 
cathedral  church  were  gathered  several  councils ; 
in  one  of  which,  a  system  of  supplying  the  vil- 
lages or  small  societies  in  the  interior  witn  church 
services  by  itinerating  presbyters,  was  adopted 
(somewhat  similar  to  the  Methodist  plan  now  in 
use),  under  the  direction  of  the  bishop  of  Lao- 
dicea.  Here  was  also  adopted  a  rule  "  that  Chris- 
tians sliould  not  Judaize  by  resting  on  the  seventh 
day,  but  to  work  on  it  as  u,sual,  and  rest  on  the 
Lord's  day  as  far  as  possible,  like  Christians." 

The  city  was  utterly  destroyed  A.  D.  1230,  since 
when  it  has  lain  in  shapeless  ruins,  only  visited 
for  its  marble  and  other  materials. 

The  aqueduct  (which  supplied  the  city,  and  is 
now  almost  perfect),  which  conveyed  water  doicn 
one  hill,  across  the  plain,  and  up  another,  in  stone 
pipes,  proves  the  Romans  to  have  been  acquainted 
with  the  hydrostatic  law  of  water  finding  its  level. 
The  stone  pijies  have  a  diameter  of  two  feet,  and 
are  fitted  into  each  other  at  the  ends,  and  the  cal- 
careous deposit  from  the  water  has  incrusted  them, 
forming  almost  a  continuous  pipe  without  a  visible 
joint. 

The  seats  in  the  stadium  have  letters  and  num- 
bers, their  owner's  or  the  keeper's  marks. 

A  recent  visitor  found  a  number  of  workmen 
sawing  up  the  richly  sculptured  entablature  of  the 
ancient  theatre,  having  been  busy  there  for  six 
years,  cutting  up  the  marble.  Near  them  was  a 
colossal  statue,  sawn  into  several  pieces.  In  this 
manner,  have  disappeared,  during  the  past  twenty 
years,  two  agate  pillars,  18  inches  in  diameter  ;  a 
great  number  of  composite  richly  sculptured  col- 
umns, adorned  with  busts  and  heads  in  relief,  and 
vases  with  wreaths  of  leaves  and  fruits,  and  stat- 
ues and  busts  and  architectural  ornaments  without 
number. 

Colossse  is  about  ten  miles  east  from  Laodicea, 
near  the  village  of  Chonas,  but  is  without  any 
interesting  ruins,  although  it  was  an  important 
city  in  the  time  of  the  expedition  of  Xerxes. 
Hierapolis  (which  see  in  the  Geography)  has  lately 
afforded  a  fine  proof  of  the  truth  of  an  account  of 
Strabo  (xiii.  iv.  14),  who  speaks  of  a  deadly  vapor 
(carbonic  acid  gas  ?)  which  killed  any  animal  that 
approached  the  jilace.  The  experiment  was  tried 
by  Svoboda  recently  on  two  fowls,  and  resulted 
fatally  to  both  in  a  few  seconds. 

LAODICE'ANS.  People  of  Laodicea  (Col.  iv. 
16  ;  Rev.  iii.  14). 

LAP'IDOTH  (torches).  Husband  of  Deborah 
(Judg.  iv.  4). 

LAP'WING  (Lev.  xi.  19).  An  unclean  bird. 
Its  feathers  are  long  and  very  beautiful.  The 
hoopoe  (Solomon's  bn-d  with  the  golden  crown) 
is  supposed  by  some  to  be  the  one.  The  Sad- 
ducees  supposed  it  was  the  cotnmon  hen  (dtj- 
kipath),  and  others  that  it  was  the  cock  of 
the  woods.  There  are  many  legends  about  the 
hoopoe,  one  of  which  is  that  a  vast  flock  flew  over 
King  Solomon's  head,  while  on  a  desert  journey, 
shadowing  him  from  the  sun,  in  reward  for  which 
he  gave  them  a  crown  of  golden  feathers. 

LASJE'A  (Acts  xxvii.  8).  City  in  Crete,  identi- 
fied in  1856  by  Rev.  G.  Brown,  5  miles  inland  from 
Fair  Havens.  A  Venitian  MS.  of  the  16th  century 
describes  Lapsjea,  with  a  temple  in  ruins,  and  other 
remains  in  the  harbor.  This  city  is  one  proof  of 
the  accuracy  of  Luke's  account,  even  in  minute 
details.    16  miles  east  of  Gortyna.

;  The  Law  of  iloses  depended  on  the  Abrahamic 
I  covenant,  which  concerned  the  temporal  promises, 
j  which  were  conditional  on  the  keeping  of  the  spirit- 
,  ual  laws.  Its  principles  were  univei'.sal,  but  it 
;  had  special  rules  for  the  Jews  also.  There  were 
:  several  kinds  of  laws:  1.  Civil;  2.  Criminal;  3.  Ju- 
dicial ;  4.  Constitutional ;  5.  Ecclesiastical ;  and  6. 
Ceremonial. 

1.  Civil.— Of  the  authority  of  a  father  over 
his  family ;  of  husband  and  wife  (the  wife  was 
nothiiu/  without  the  hu.sband,  not  even  recognized

no  one  could  kill  a  slave  or  maim  one;  the  slave 
free  at  the  year  of  jubilee,  except  foreign  slaves, 
who  were  perpetual;  fugitive  slaves  from  foreign 
nations  were  not  given  up;  protection  and  kindness 
to  foreigners  (strangers)  was  a  sacred  duty,  as  they 
had  very  few  rights  under  the  law.

LAVEE  (kiyor).  a  vessel  containing  water  for 
wa.shing  hands  and  feet  before  offering  sacrifice, 
and  standing  between  the  altar  and  the  taber- 
nacle (Ex.  xxx.  19). 

The  form  is  not  given,  and  can  only  be  supposed 
to  have  been  round,  and  to  have  had  a  movable 
stand,  perhaps  on  wheels  for  convenience  in  mov- 
ing. In  the  temple,  besides  the  Sea,  there  were  ten 
lavers,  all  of  brass,  on  bases  (1  K.  vii.  27,  39),  .5  on 
the  north  and  5  on  the  south  side.  They  contained 
each  1(50  gallons  of  water  used  for  washing  the 
sacrifices  for  burnt-offerings  (2  Chr.  iv.  6).  They 
are  particularly  described  in  Josephus  viii.  3,  §  6.

the  time  before  the  jubilee;  if  devoted  by  the 
owner,  to  sacred  purposes,  and  not  redeemed  at 
the  jubilee,  then  they  were  a  perpetual  propertj'  of 
the  priests.  Inheritance  descended  to  1 .  sons,  2.

SECTION    OP  PTEAMTD. 


Adultery  was  to  be  punished  by  death  to  both 
offenders ;  rape  of  a  married  woman,  of  betrothed 
maid,  by  death  to  the  offender;  seduction  of  a 
young  woman  to  be  compensated  by  marriage,  with 
a  dowiy  of  50  shekels,  without  privilege  of  divorce; 
or,  if  she  choose,  a  full  dowry  without  marriage ; 
unlawful  marriages  punished  in  various  ways 
(Lev.  XX.). 

Theft,  double  or  four-fold  retribution  ;  a  night- 
robber  could  be  killed ;  trespass  or  injury  to  things 
lent  to  be  made  good;  perversion  of  justice  strictly 
forbidden;  kidnapping  punished  with  death;  false- 
witness,  slander,  by  law  of  retaliation. 

Judicial  Laws.  Judges  were  appointed,  and 
were  usually  Levites;  their  sentence  was  final,  and 
it  was  a  capital  offense  to  reject  their  judgment; 
two  witnesses  were  required  in  capital  matters ; 
whipping  must  be  limited  so  as  not  to  leave  marks. 
The  KING  set  aside  by  his  laws  much  of  the  law  of 
Moses,  and  its  scheme  of  officers,  even  deposing 
the  hi<?h-priest  (1  Sam.  xxii.  17) .  70  elders  were 
appointed  by  the  king  with  a  religious  sanction, 
forming  the  Sandhedrin  (see  Sanhedrin),  of 
priestsi  scribes,  and  elders  (2  Chr.  xix.  8-11).  The 
king's  power  was  limited  by  the  law,  and  he  was 
directly  forbidden  to  be  despotic  (Deut.  xvii.  14-20). 
He  could  tax  1-10;  compel  service;  declare  war. 

The  chiefs  of  each  tribe  or  family  acted  for  that 
tribe  or  family  (Josh.  xi.  15);  and  in  some  reigns 
controlled  both  the  king  and  the  priests  ( Jer.  xxvi. 
10). 

The  king's  revenue  was  raised  from  the  tenth, 
from  confiscation  of  criminal's  land  (1  K.  xxi.  15); 
the  bound  service  of  foreigners ;  his  flocks  and 
herds;  tributes  from  foreign  kings;  commerce  (in 
Solomon's  time,  1  K.  x.  22). 


Religious.  There  were  laws  for  sacrifices,  on 
many  occasions;  as  the  various  offerings  on  the  al- 
tar (wliere  the  fire  must  never  be  left  to  go  out), 
for  priests,  women,  lepers,  the  Day  of  Atonement 
and  Festivals. 

The  Law  of  Holiness  (which  resulted  from  the 
union  witli  God  through  sacrifice),  was  shown  in 
the  dedication  of  the  first-born,  and  the  offering  of 
all  first-fruits  (Ex.  xiii.  2,  etc.;  Deut.  xxvi.);  the 
distinction  of  clean  and  unclean  food;  the  rules  for 
purification ;  against  maiming ;  unnatural  mar- 
riages ;  and  the  laws  regulating  the  orders  of 
priests,  holy  places  and  things,  and  also  the  times 
of  holding  services;  as  the  Sabbath,  the  Sabbatical 
year  (7tli),  the  year  of  Jubilee;  passover;  feast  of 
weeks  (Pentecost);  of  tabernacles;  of  trumpets; 
and  Day  of  Atonement. 

The  law  is  purely  theocratic— derived  from  God, 
and  not  from  man,  and  depended  on  the  faith  of 
the  nation,  the  belief  in  God  as  the  head  of  the 
Jewish  people. 

LAWYER  (Gr.  nomikoH).  Scribe  was  the  official 
title,  and  lawyer  meant  one  learned  in  the  law 
(Matt.  xxii.  35;  Luke  x.  25;  Tit.  iii.  13). 

LAZ'AEUS  (ancient  Eleazar,  Qod  is  his  helper). 
1.  Lazarus  of  Bethany,  brother  of  Martha  and 
Mary  (John  xi.  1).— 2.  Lazarus  in  the  parable 
of  the  rich  man  and  Lazarus  (Luke  xvi.  19-31). 
This  is  the  only  instance  of  a  proper  name  in  any 
of  the  parables.  , 

It  is  supposed  that  "  Simon  the  leper  "  was  the 
father  of  Lazarus  and  the  two  sisters  Martha  and 
Mary,  and  that  when  the  leprosy  had  made  Simon 
an  outcast,  his  children  managed  the  house,  and 
the  daughters  especially,  since  it  is  they  who  gave 
the  feast  when  Jesus  vvas  there  (Luke  x.  38;  John 
xii.  2),  and  was  perfumed  with  the  costly  spike- 
nard by  Mary.  The  family  were  moderately 
wealthy,  as  appears  in  their  having  a  house  that 
could  accommodate  a  large  party,  in  their  giving  a 
feast,  having  so  expensive  a  perfume  (300  pence, 
that  is  the  price  of  300  days  wages),  and  a  family 
tomb  cut  in  the  rock.  Simon  may  have  been  a 
Pharisee,  as  would  seem  from  their  friendly  ac- 
quaintance with  the  Nicodemus  branch  of  that  sect 
in  Jerusalem,  and  the  ready  use  of  their  creed  by 
Martha  (John  xi.  24).  Simon  may  have  been  sent 
to  Galilee  with  others  to  watch  Jesus  as  a  teacher 
of  a  new  sect  in  the  church,  and  partly  through 
reverence,  and  also  in  the  line  of  his  duty  he  took 
him  to  his  house.  His  disease  might  have  been  de- 
veloped afterwards,  and  he  have  been  removed, 
either  by  death  or  by  the  seclusion  required  by  tlie 
law  for  a  leper,  when  his  daughters  continued  the 
hospitality  their  father  began.  This  explains  why 
Lazarus  was  a  young  man  of  some  importance  in 
his  circle,  had  many  acquaintances  and  friends,  and 
perhaps  held  the  position  of  an  archbn  (ruler  in 
the  village).  His  description  agrees  with  this  in 
its  details,  the  salutation  of  Jesus  as  the  "Good 
Master"  (Mark  x.  17),  his  respectful  attitude,  and 
his  quick  and  earnest  inquiry  alter  the  most  impor- 
tant truth.  The  ansv/er  of  Jesus  to  him  was  the 
same  as  that  to  his  sister  (to  him  "  One  thing  thou 
lackest;"  to  her  "  One  thing  is  needful  ").  Jesus 
is  said  by  Mark  to  have  loved  him,  which  term  is 
only  applied  to  John  and  the  sisters  of  Lazarus 
(John  xi.  5).  The  craving  for  truth  and  holiness 
in  Lazarus  was  that  which  Jesus  loved.  Martha 
was  apparently  occupied  and  contented  with  out- 
ward activity,  and  the  teachings  of  the  Pharisees, 
not  suspecting  tlie  great  truth  that  eternal  life  is 
even  now  present  to  the  faitliful.  Lazarus  hesi- 
tates between  his  old  faith  which  he  had  "kept 
from  his  youth  up  "  and  the  new  light,  and  in  this 
condition  lie  is  struck  dowTi  by  the  fever,  which 
does  its  work  quickly  in  the  East. 

The  words  and  conduct  of  Jesus  show  the  deep 
concern  of  the  friend  and  the  restoration  especially

the  affectionate  work  of  the  Great  Teacher,  who 
brouglit  truth  home  to  many  hearts  by  one  lesson. 
The  sisters  believed  that  he  would  have  healed 
him  of  his  sickness  if  he  had  been  there  at  the 
time  (John  xi.  21),  and  tlieir  want  of  faith  even 
after  the  loss  of  their  brotluT  brings  tears  of  sym- 
pathy mingled  with  imlignation  to  his  eyes.  The 
raising  of  La/anis  (.-aiinot  bo  told  in  more  fitting 
words  than  are  used  by  John  (xi.),  who  writes  as 
an  eye  witness,  and  one  who  saw  also  with  a  si)ir- 
itual  eye.  A  tradition  states  that  the  first  question 
Lazarus  asked  after  being  raised  was  whether  he 
should  die  again,  and  when  told  he  must  go  tlio 
way  of  all  men,  it  touched  him  with  a  deei)  sad- 
ness, and  lie  nevi'r  smiled  again.  What  he  saw 
during  bis  four  days' sleep  was  never  made  known, 
nor  whether  he  was  even  conscious. 

Lazarus  was  naturally  made  the  subject  of  the 
spite  of  the  Scribes  and  Pharisees  for  his  part  in 
the  seeming  assistance  that  he  gave  to  Jesus,  whose 
works  were  denounced  by  them  as  imposture  and 
the  work  of  the  devil,  or  Beelzebub  (.Matt.  ix.  34, 
X.  25;  .Mark  iii.  22,  etc.). 

There  is  an  explanation  of  the  remark  of  Judas 
at  the  feast  which  is,  that  he,  with  others,  had  ex- 
pected at  this  feast  a  distributicm  of  large  sums  to 
tlie  poor,  and  therefore  the  perfume  used  on  one  of 
themselves  was  "waste"  because  it  lessened  the 
amount  expected  to  be  distributed. 
Nothing  is  recorded  of  Lazarus  after  the  feast. 
The  whole  story  of  Lazarus,  so  full  of  beauty 
and  simi>licitv,  sympathy  and  truthfulness,  is  above 
criticism,  and  the  work  of  a  man  who,  in  his  old 
age  and  ripe  faith  was  a  witness  in  this  account 
that  Jesus  was  "  the  resurrection  and  the  life." 

LEAD  (OFERETH ;  Gr.  inoUbdos). 
"Was  known  very  early  to  the  ancient 
Hebrews,  being  found  in  Sinai  and 
Egypt  (Ez.  xxvii.  13).  It  was  nscd 
forWeights  (Ex.  xv.  10  ;  Eceles.  xxii. 
14).  dxide  of  lead  was  used  to  glaze 
pottery  then  as  now. 

LEAF  (aleh,  to  (jrowup;  teref, 
to  pluck  off ;  ZELAiM,  tico-leavca 
doors),  (deleth).  Leaves  of  a  book 
or  roll. 

LEAH  (tcearied).  Daughter  of 
Laban,  1st  wife  of  Jacob,  mother  of 
Reuben,  Simeon,  Levi,  Judah,  Issac- 
har,  Zebu] on,  Dinah.  She  had  but 
little  share  of  her  husband's  love, 
and  she  suffered  the  pain  of  wit- 
nessing Dinah's  dishonor  at  Shec- 
hem,  with  the  terrible  retribution 
that  followed.  She  lived  longer  than  Eachel,  and 
died  in  the  Negeb,  and  was  buried  in  the  cave  of 
Machpelah. 

LEAS  ING  {falsehood),  (Ps.  iv.  2;  v.  G).  Lies,  in 
Ps.  xl.  4;  Iviii.  3. 

LEATHER  (2  K.  i.  8;  Matt.  iii.  4).  There  are 
very  few  notices  of  leather,  unless  the  word  skin 
means  leather  in  use,  as  in  Lev.  xi.  32;  xiii.  48; 
Num.  xxxi.  20,  etc.    Tanner. 

LEA"VEN  (SEOR,  fermentntion).  There  was  also 
besides  fermented  (kamez),  sharpened  (siazzoth) 
bread,  unleavened  (Ex.  xii.  7).  Leaven  was 
strictly  forbidden  in  all  sacrifices,  as  tyoical  of 
corruption  or  decay.  Jesus  uses  leaven  as  a  figure 
in  describing  the  peculiar  corruption  of  ideas  of 
the  Scribes  and  Pharisees.  The  pagans  also 
avoided  it  in  their  offerings  to  their  gods.  It  is  also 
used  as  a  figure  for  the  gospel  for  its  secretly  pene- 
trating and  diffusive  power  (1  Cor.  v.  6), 

LEB'ANA  (whitr).    A  Nethinim,  who  returned

LEB  ANAH.     Lebana  (Ez.  ii.  45). 

LEBANON   (irhite).      The    white    mountain    of 

Palestine,  on  the  north  of  the  country  given  to 

the  Israelites  (Deut.  i.  7;  xi.  24;  Josh.  i.  4).    There 


are  two  ranges,  Lebanon  on  the  west,  and  Anti- 
Lebanon  on  the  east,  almost  parallel,  extending 
from  near  Tyre  to  Ihimath,  about  110  miles.  See 
Geology  and  IIeumon. 

The  valley  of  Lebanon  is  alluded  to  in  the  de- 
scription of  the  extent  of  the  land  taken  by  Joshua 
(xi.  17).  It  is  5  to  8  miles  wide,  the  whole  length 
of  the  Lebanon,  and  wati-red  by  the  two  rivers 
Leontes  and  Orontes.  The  original  name  was 
Bukaa  {the  valley),  which  was  changed  to  Coele- 
Syria  {hoUom  ISyna),  by  the  Romans,  and  is  now 
restored  by  the  Arabs.  Lebanon  toward  the  sun- 
rising,  was  the  name  for  Anti-Lebanon  in  Joshua 
xiii.  6.  (The  best  description  is  in  Porter' a  Dor 
trucscus) . 

Lebanon,  from  the  Leontes  to  the  Eleutherus, 
has  an  average  elevation  of  6,000  to  8,000  feet, 
with  two  higher  groups  of  peaks— Sunnin,  8,500, 
and  Makhmel  (Khodil))— 10,051  (10,200  by  one 
authority).  The  view  of  Lebanon  from  the  sea  is 
exceedingly  grand.  The  wavy  top  is  covered  with 
snow  during  winter  and  spring,  and  the  two 
highest  peaks  capjied  with  ice  on  the  sultriest  days 
of  summer.  Cultivation,  chiefly  by  terraces,  ex- 
tends to  a  hight  of  (),000  feet.  Little  fields  and 
gardens  are  often  seen  on  high  places,  difficult  of 
approach,  where  it  would  seem  that  the  eagles  only 
could  have  planted  the  seed.  P'ig  trees  and  vines 
cling  to  steep  rocks  and  narrow  ledges ;  long  rows 
of  mulberry  trees  fringe  the  winding  terraces,  and 
olive  orchards  fill  the  ravines.  Hundreds  of  vil- 
lages and  convents  cling  like  swallows'  nests  to  the 
steep  clilTs.  The  mountain  seems  to  be  built  of 
thousands  of  terrace  walls,  rising  like  steps  from 
the  sea  to  the  snow.    Seen  from  below,  the  rocky

walls  alone  appear,  divided  by  many  deep  and  wild 
ravines.  Looking  down  upon  the  terraces  from  a 
hight,  the  vegetation  is  seen  everywhere  clothing 
the  slopes  with  a  great  variety  of  tints  from  fields 
of  grain,  gardens  of  vegetables,  vineyards,  and 
different  fruit  and  forest  trees.  One  of  the  most 
striking  and  beautiful  scones  in  the  world  is  from 
the  upper  slopes  of  Lebanon,  where  far  away,  over 
and  beyond  some  deep,  dark  glen,  clothed  with 
dense  foliage,  the  broad  and  bright  Mediterranean 
reposes  under  a  cloudless  sky.  The  beauties  of 
Lebanon  were  noticed  by  the  poets  and  prophets 
of  Israel  (Cant.  iv.  11;  fiosea  xiv.  5,  6,  7).  The 
coolness  of  its  snows  and  waters  was  appreciated 
by  Jeremiah  in  contrast  to  the  heats  of  summer  in 
the  lower  lands  ( Jer.  xviii.  14).  The  finest  view  of 
Lebanon  from  the  east  is  at  Baalbek,  where  the 
snowy  crests  extend  north  and  south  as  far  as  the 
eye  can  see.  The  view  from  the  range  of  Anti- 
Lebanon  is  more  grand  and  extensive,  but  less 
pictnresque,  because  more  distant. 

The  glory  of  Lebanon  was  its  cedar,  pine  and 
oak  forests,  which  were  used  in  Solomon's  Temple 
and  his  other  grand  edifices,  for  temples  and 
palaces,  in  Rome  and  Ass^Tia,  and  in  ship-building

xxvii.  4r-6;  Jos.  Wars  v.  5,  2;  Pliny  xiii.  11;  Layard 
356).  There  are  two  groups  of  cedars  now  stand- 
ing as  witnesses  of  past  grandeur.  One  is  in  a 
basin  formed  by  tiie  higliest  summits  of  Lebanon, 
wliich  rise  in  a  semi-circle  around  the  head  waters 
of  the  Kadisha,  6,172  feet  above  the  sea.  The 
other  is  on  tlie  slope  of  Keniseh,  near  the  new 
stage-coacii  road  from  Beirut  to  Damascus,  from 
whicli  our  sketch  was  taken.  The  rivers  are  not 
very  large  nor  long,  but  are  among  the  most 
famous  in  the  world's  history.  Beginning  at  the 
north,  the  Eleutherus  {Nahr  el  Kebir)  rises  in  the 

Elain  of  Emesa,  flows  around  the  north  end  of 
rebanon,  and  falls  into  the  sea  between  Ai'vad 
and  Tripolis.  The  Kadisha  {sacr'ed  river),  now 
Nahr  Abu,  Aly,  rises  near  the  cedars  under  the 
highest  summits  of  Lebanon,  and  flows  througb  a 
gorge  of  surpassing  grandem-,  to  tlie  sea,  at  Tri- 
polis. The  perpendicular  walls  of  rock  at  one 
place  are  1000  feet  high.  The  Nahr  Ibrahim,  the 
classic  Adonis  (the  scene  of  the  romantic  story  of 
Venus  and  Adonis.  Adonis  being  killed  by  a 
boar,  his  blood  now  annually  colors  the  water  of 
the  river,  which  runs  red  to  the  sea) .  Ezekiel  men- 
tions Adonis  under  the  name  Tammuz  (viii.  14). 
It  rises  near  the  ancient  Apheka,  where  there  is  a 
ruined  temple  of  Venus,  and  falls  into  the  sea  near 
Gebel.  The  Lycus  {Nahr  el  Kelb,  Dog  river) 
rises  on  Sunnin  and  empties  into  St.  George's  Bay, 
a  few  miles  north  of  Beirut.  At  its  mourn  are  the 
famous  sculptured  rocks  on  the  side  of  the  pass, 
where  the  armies  of  Assyria,  Egypt,  Greece,  Rome 
and  France  have  left  records  of  their  deeds.  Pliny 
mentions  the  Magoras,  which  is  probably  the  Nahr 
Bdnit.  The  Tamyras  or  Damuras  of  Strabo  rises 
near  Deir  el  Kamar,  the  modern  capital  of  Leba- 
non, and  reaches  the  sea  about  ten  miles  south  of 
Beirut. 

The  Bostrenus  {Nahr  el  Awaly)  is  a  small  stream, 
8  miles  further  south. 

The  Leontes  (see  Syria),  in  the  lower  part, 
rushes  through  a  wild  chasm,  the  banks  of  which 
are  a  thousand  feet  or  more  high,  almost  perpendi- 
cular, and  are  spanned  at  one  place  by  a  natural 
bridge  60  feet  long  and  100  feet  above  the  stream. 
All  of  these  are  on  the  western  slope;  and  there 
are  none  on  the  eastern,  except  those  in  the  valley 
of  Lebanon,  the  Orontes  and  the  Leontes.  The 
rivers  of  Anti-Lebanon  are  the  Abana,  Barada 
(the  golden-flowing  stream),  which  rises  in  the 
beautifiU  little  plain  of  Zebedany,  flows  along  the 
western  side  of  the  ridge,  and  then  do\vn  through 
a  wild  gorge  into  the  plain  of  Damascus,  where  it 
divides  into  several  channels,  and  is  lost  in  the 


marsb  and  lake  east  of  that  city.  The  Pharpar 
(ITahr  Awaj)  rises  high  up  on  the  eastern  side  of 
Hcrmon,  flows  across  the  Hauran,  and  is  also  lost 
in  a  marsh  and  lake  south  of  the  former.  The 
Helbon  waters  the  fertile  glen  of  Helboji. 

It  is  supposed  that  the  Maronites  in  Lebanon  are 
descendants  of  the  ancient  Syrians,  but  there  is  no 
direct  evidence.  The  Druses  are  Arabs.  No  other 
country  has  such  a  mixture  of  many  races,  holding 
to  their  ancient  religions,  more  or  less  idolatrous. 
There  are  very  few  remains  of  ancient  temples  on 


Lebanon,  while  Hermon  is  crowded  with  them, 
The  American  Mission  has  a  station  at  Abeih,  a 
few  miles  S.  E.  of  Beirut,  not  far  from  Dar  el  Kor 
mar.  Young  men,  and  also  young  women,  of  every 
class  and  of  every  faith,  are  seeking  education  for 
its  uses  in  commerce  and  benefits  in  social  and  pri- 
vate life;  and  the  Syrian  college,  lately  established 
in  Beirut,  will  complete  the  work. 

LEB'AOTH  (Iwness).  Judah  in  the  south  (Josh. 
XV.  32).  Given  to  Simeon  out  of  Judah's  lot. 
Beth  Lebaoth  {plaice  of  Hans).  The  place  may 
have  been  invested  by  wUd  beasts,  and  therefore 
so  named. 

LEBB.E'US  {courageous),  (Matt.  x.  3).    Thad- 

DEUS. 

LEEO'NAH  {frankincense).  Three  miles  west 
of  Shiloh,  now  £Jl  Lubban.  The  village  stands  on 
the  slope  of  a  hill  bordering  the  v/ady  Lubban, 
and  its  houses  have  a  gray  and  antique  appear- 
ance. In  the  clilfs  above  are  caves  and  sepul- 
chres, witnesses  of  a  former  importance  (Judg. 
xxi.  19). 

LS'CAH  {journey),  (1  Chr.  iv.  21).  A  town 
built  by  Er.    Lost. 

LEEKS  (CHAZIR,  grass).  There  are  several 
plants  offered  in  explanation  of  the  20  allusions  in 
the  O.  T.  to  "leeks."  The  trigonella  grows  in 
gardens  in  Egypt,  and  is  eaten  in  large  quantities 
i  m  the  fall,  as  greens  are  with  us.  The  seeds  are 
also  eaten  boiled.  Radishes,  onions,  garlic  (and 
leeks)  were  supplied  to  the  workmen  who  built 
the  pyamids.  The  priests  were  not  permitted  to 
eat  any  of  these,  as  Plutarch  explains. 

LEES  (SHEMER,  jM'eservation).  Wine  was  left 
standing  on  the  lees  to  give  it  color  and  body  (Is. 
XXV.  6).  The  vrine  undisturbed  was  thick,  and 
before  it  was  used  it  was  necessary  to  strain  off 
the  lees. 

LE'GION  (Matt.  xxvi.  53 ;  Luke  viii.  30).  A 
portion  of  the  Roman  army,  about  6,000  infantry. 

LEHA'BIM  (Gen.  x.  13).  Mizraim's  third  son, 
perhaps  the  ancestor  of  the  Lubim,  allies  of  the 
Egyptians,  mentioned  in  the  inscriptions  on  their 
monuments  at  Medinet  Habu  (dated  1250  B.  C.)  ; 
and  also  of  the  Libyans.  Jeremiah  noticed  them 
in  the  6th  century  B.  C,  and  Daniel  still  later. 
They  are  located  on  the  African  coast,  west  of 
Egypt,  as  far  as  and  beyond  Cyrene.  The  great 
Arab  tribe,  tlie  Beni  Ali,  now  extends  from  Egypt 
to  the  Atlantic,  and  illustrates  the  probable  extent 
of  the  ancient  Lubim  and  their  accessions.  There 
has  been  from  the  earliest  times  a  constant  stream 
of  colonization  flowing  along  the  coast  of  Africa, 
north  of  the  Great  Desert,  from  the  Nile  to  the 
Straits  of  Gibraltar,  from  different  nations  and 
people.  The  Phoenicians  and  Greeks  drove  the 
Lubim  into  the  desert  and  the  mountains,  where 
they  still  remain. 

LE'HI.  The  place  where  Samson  slew  a  thou- 
sand men  with  a  jaw-bone  (Judg.  xv.  9-19).  L'chi 
is  the  Hebrew  word  for  jaio-bone,  but  the  name  of 
the  place  was  Ramath  lehi  (v.  17).  It  was  on  the 
border  of  Judah  and  Philistia.  The  spring  of  En- 
hakkore  was  known  in  Jerome's  time,  near  Mo- 
rasthi,  the  prophet  Micah's  birth-place,  east  of 
Eleutheropolis.    Now  Lost. 

LE'MECH.    Lamech  2  (Gen.  v.  25). 

LEMUEL  {devoted),  (Prov.  xxxi.1-9). 

LEN'TILES  (ADASHiM).  A  bean -like  plant 
much  esteemed  in  the  East  as  an  article  of  food. 
There  are  several  kinds  (Gen.  xxv.  34 ;  Ez.  iv. 
9) .  They  were  used  in  making  bread  in  times  of 
scarcity.  The  present  Arabic  name  (adas;  is  the 
same  as  the  Hebrew.  Red  pottage  is  made  of  the 
red  lentile,  and  is  a  very  palatable  dish,  called 
ADOM  In  Gen.  xxv.  30.  The  poor  in  Egypt  now 
use  it  because  it  is  cheaper  than  wheat.  There  Is 
a  tradition  that  Esau  sold  his  birthright  at  Hebron,

and  in  memory  of  this  the  Arab  monks  (dervishes) 
distribute  daily  a  supply  of  lentile  soup  to  the 
poor,  and  strangers. 

L£OFA£D  (NAMER ;  spotted).  Mentioned  in  7 
passages.  The  word  was  compounded  into  several 
of  towns  as  Beth-ninirah,  Nimrah,  Nimrim  (Leo- 
pard-town, etc.),  (Is.  xi.  6;  Jer.  v.  G,  etc.). 

Habakkuk  compares  the  Chaldsean  horses  to  the 
swift  leopard  (i.  8),  and  Daniel  alludes  to  the 
"  winged  leopard,"  as  a  type  or  figure  of  the  rapid 
conquests  of  Alexander.  The  lulls  of  Palestine 
were  frequented  by  the  leopard  in  ancient  times, 
as  may  be  inferred  from  Cant.  iv.  8.,  and  it  is 
now  found  in  the  mountains  of  Hermon  and  Leba- 
non, and  sometimes  in  the  gorges  near  Jerusalem, 
especially  the  lower  Kidron,  where  it  retreats  into 
caves  from  the  heat  of  the  sun. 

The  Cheetah  may  be  included  in  this  description, 
as  it  was  used  by  the  ancient  Egyptians  in  hunt- 
ing, and  so  sculptured  on  the  monuments.  Their 
skins  were  worn  by  the  priests  during  their  re- 
ligious ceremonies,  and  are  so  worn  by  tne  modern 
dervishes. 

l£P£B  (zartja  ;  leprosy,  zaraath;  Gr.  lepra, 
leproti).  Sujiposed  to  be  the  peculiar  scourge  of  an 
offended  deity.  The  white  variety  was  more  com- 
mon (if  there  is  more  than  one)  covering  the  en- 
tire body,  or  the  most  of  it,  and  was  called  the 
leprosy  of  Moses.  This  was  the  "clean"  kind. 
The  symptoms  were  first  a  swelling,  a  scab  or  bald- 
ness, "and  a  shiny  spot.  The  hair  changed  to  a 
white  or  yellowish-wuito  over  the  swelling.  Some- 
times raw  flesh  ("proud  flesh  ")  appeared  in  the 
sore.  It  often  disappeared  after  going  so  far. 
If  it  went  farther  it  became  "unclean."  While 
disease  was  active  and  spreading  it  was  unclean, 
but  when  it  had  spread  all  over  the  body,  and 
could  go  no  farther,  the  person  became  clean  again. 
The  object  of  the  disease  seems  to  have  been  to 
create  a  nameless  horror,  and  dread  of  contagion. 
It  is  not  known  whether  it  was  propagated  by  con- 
tagion. Some  passages  mean  any  disease  that 
spreads  in  the  skin  (Lev.  xiii.,  xiv.).  The  modern 
Elephantiasis  (Barbadoes  leg,  sioelled  leg)  is  not  the 
leprosy  of  tlie  Hebrews,  although  sometimes  called 
"  black  leprosy. "  The  leprosy  of  garments  and  of 
walls  has  caused  many  ingenious  explanations. 
One  of  walls  is  that  of  a  fungus  growth  on  the 
wall  producing  spots;  another  of  the  nitrous  efflo- 
rescence in  red  spots.

LEUM'MIM  {nations).  Sons  of  Dedan  (Gen.

LS  VI  {to  adhsre).  Third  son  of  Leah,  wife  of 
Jacob.  Born  in  Mesopotamia,  B.  C.  1750  (Gen. 
xxix.  3-1).  When  Dinah  went  out  to  see  the  young 
women  of  Shechem,  as  Josephus  says,  at  an  annufu 
festival  of  nature-worship,  such  asthat mentioned 
in  NumbiTS  xxv.  2,  of  the  people  in  Moab,  she  was 
taken  by  Shechem  as  a  wife;  which  was  resented 
as  an  insult  by  her  brothers,  Jacob,  Simeon,  and 
Levi,  who  executed  their  revenge  on  the  city  in  a 
fearful  manner  (Gen.  xxxiv. ) ,  destroying  the  whole 
city  for  the  error  of  one  man.  This  is  an  early  in- 
stance of  a  blood  feud,  which  are  so  common  in  the 
East  now.  Levi  plotted  with  others  against  Jo- 
seph. He  went  into  Egypt  with  his  three  sons, 
Gershon,  Kohath,  and  Merari,  and  as  one  of  the 
eldest,  was  presented  to  Pliaraoh.  The  descendants 
of  Levi,  among  whom  were  Moses  and  Aaron, 
were  made  the  ministers  of  religion  and  the  repre- 


sentatives of  the  national  faith;  Jacob  prophesied 
that  Levi  should  be  scattered  among  his  brothers, 
which  was  fulfilled  in  the  distribution  of  the  tribe 
among  the  48  Levitical  cities,  which  were  scattered 
throughout  the  whole  country.  The  ti'ibe  dis- 
placea  the  earlier  priesthood  of  the  first-born  as 
representatives  of  the   hohness  of  the  people. 


Their  first  enumeration  gave  22,000,  which  was 
nearly  equal  to  the  number  of  the  first-born  males 
of  all  the  other  tribes,  which  was  22,263— reckon- 
ing from  one  month  old  upward.  The  273  were 
redeemed  by  6  shekels  each,  being  paid  to  Aaron. 
They  guarded  the  ark,  and  were  reckoned  sepa- 
rately as  the  host  (of  the  Lord),  and  were  not 
counted  in  the  army.  Their  special  duties  were 
the  daily  sacrifice,  and  the  work  about  the  taber- 
nacle (and  Temple),  in  a  certain  appointed  order 
(Num.  iii.,  iv.,  vii.). 

A  table  of  the  family  wiU  show  the  division  of 
the  tribe  into  the  three  seperate  brances  according 
to  their  functions  (Ex.  vi.  16-25).

The  Levitical  order  proceeded  from  the  people, 
and  were  not  a  privileged  class  (Ex.  xxviii.);  nor 
was  the  monarchy  designed  to  be  so  (Deut.  xvii. 
14-20),  and  the  people  always  took  part  in  the  cor- 
onation of  the  king  and  the  installation  of  the 
high-priest  (1  Chr.  xxix.  22;  1  Mace.  xiv.  35). 
They  did  not  cultivate  land  or  work  at  trades,  but 
were  to  receive  a  tenth  as  tithes  from  the  people;  a 
part  of  which  was  again  divided  to  the  priests 
(Num.  xviii.  21,  etc.).  Their  diity  was  to  instruct 
the  people  in  the  law,  and  to  enable  them  to  spread 
this  knowledge  through  the  land.  48  cities  were 
assigned  for  residences  to  them,  6  of  which  were 
cities  of  refuge,  and  13  were  for  the  priests,  distrib- 
uted as  follows:  Kojathites— Priests:  Judah 
and  Simeon  9;  Benjamin  4.  Not  priests:  Ephraim

for  pasture-ground,  for  the  Levites'  cattle  (Num. 
XXXV.  4,  5).  Saul  massacred  the  priests  at  Nob, 
slew  the  Gibeonites  in  their  service,  and  assumed 
the  priestly  office;  but  David  reorganized  and  re- 
stored them  to  their  proper  service.  The  Choral 
Service  is  first  mentioned  in  David's  time  (1  Chr. 
XV.  16,  and  minutely  in  ch.  xxv.).  Ethan  (1  Chr. 
19),  one  of  the  singers,  was  a  man  of  great  talent 
(1  K.  iv.  31),  and  author  of  the  89th  Psalm.  The 
tribe  was  divided  into  12  orders  or  courses,  to  serve 
each  one  month  in  rotation.  The  porters  served 
only  a  week,  but  the  four  chief  porters  lived  in  the 
temple  court  (1  Chr.  ix.  27).  Psalm  cxxxiv.  was  a 
song  of  the  night-watchmen  around  the  temple. 
The  Levites  appear  as  Scribes  first  in  2  Chr. 
xxxiv.  13,  under  Josiah.  The  books  of  Chronicles 
were  probably  compiled  by  scribes,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Daniel  and  Ezra.  The  age  at  which  service 
was  to  be  required  was  originally  30  years,  but  was 
reduced  to  20  in  the  tribe  of  Solomon  (1  Chr.  xxiii. 
24r-27).  Ezekiel  records  the  idolatry  of  the  Levites 
in  chs.  xliv.  and  xlviii.  Psalm  cxxxvii.  is  a  mourn- 
ful and  toucliing  record  of  the  Levites'  experience 
in  captivity.  The  priests,  Levites,  singers,  and 
porters  who  returned  from  Babylon  were  (it  seems 
from  Ezr.  ii.  36-42)  a  very  small  "remnant"  (iii. 
8).  None  of  the  Levites  came  to  the  first  meeting 
of  preparation  for  the  return  (viii.  15).  Their 
service  and  residence  were  established  as  of  old, 
and  they  joined  in  the  last  great  song  of  praise 
which  is  recorded  (Neh.  ix.  6-38).  From  this  time 
down  we  have  scarcely  any  account  in  the  Old, 
and  but  a  very  few  notices  of  them  in  the  N.  T. 
(as  in  Luke  x.  32;  John  i.  19,  etc.).  They  were 
also  dispersed  among  the  Gentiles,  with  the  other 
tribes  (Acts  iv.  36). 

The  religious  system  established  by  custom  from 
Abraham's  time  was  changed  when  Aaron  was 
made  the  high-priest.  The  eldest  son  of  each  house 
inherited  the  priestly  office,  and  performed  the  du- 
ties (Ex.  xxiv.  15),  and  this  idea  led  to  that  other 
that  Israel  was  a  nation  of  priests.  The  great 
change  was  made  when  the  entire  tribe  of  Levi 
was  set  aside  as  a  priestly  caste — an  order — as  wit- 
nesses and  guardians  of  the  national  worship.  The 
Levites  took  the  place  of  the  first-born  in  the  na- 
tion which  were  numbered,  being  22,273,  the  Le- 
vites being  22,000,  counting  all  from  a  month  old 
upward,  and  the  difference  was  balanced  by  paying 
for  each  one  of  the  odd  number  the  price  of  a  vic- 
tim vowed  in  sacrifice.  The  tabernacle  was  a  sign 
of  the  presence  of  God  among  the  people,  and  the 
Levites  were  the  royal  guard  of  this  invisible  king. 
They  were  not  included  in  the  armies,  although 
called  the  Lord's  Host.  The 
Kohathites  held  the  highest 
offices,  guarding  and  bear- 
ing the  sacred  vessels,  in- 
cluding the  ark,  after  these 
had  been  covered  with  the 
dark -blue  cloth  by  the 
priests.  The  Gershonites 
bore  the  tent-cloths,  cur- 
tains, etc.,  and  the  Mera- 
rites  carried  the  boai'ds, 
cEowN.  bars,    and    pillars,    using 

oxen  and  carts.  They  puri- 
fied them  selves  by  a  ceremonious  washing  and 
sprinkling,  and  were  solemnly  consecrated  by 
the  people  (Num.  viii.  10). 

LEVI'ATHAN  (livyathan,  an  animal  wreathed). 
The  crocodile. 

Described  as  living  in  the  sea  (or  river),  and 
probably  a  term  including  several  kinds  of  mon- 
sters of  the  deep  (Ps.  civ.  26),  and  also  serpents. 
Job  iii.  8  has  mourning  for  leviathan.  The  prac- 
tice of  enchantment  is 'referred  to,  which  was  simi- 
lar to  the  modern  snake-charming.  The  descrip- 
tion in  Job  xli.  is  of  the  crocodile  (so  in  the  version 
of  T.  J.  Conant),  and  also  in  Ps.  Ixxiv.  14.    The 


Arabic  name  is  Timsah,  which  is  given  to  the  lake 
near  Suez,  through  which  the  Suez  canal  runs. 
The  word  is  translated  dragon  in  Ezekiel  (xxx.  3). 
The  leviathan  of  Is.  xxvii.  1  (nachash,  serpent), 
is  used  as  a  type  of  Egypt,  and  the  crocodile  was 
an  emblem  of  that  country.  The  python  (satan) 
was  worshiped  by  the  Egyptians  as  well  as  the 
crocodile. 

LEVIKATE  (husband's  brother).  The  law  by 
which  a  younger  brother  married  the  widow  of  the 
elder  brother,  and  raised  children  in  his  name.

LIB 'ANUS.    Lebanon  (1  Esd.  iv.  48,  v.  55). 

LIB'ERTINES  (Acts  vi.  9).  Two  explanations  of 
this  difficult  text  are  offered :  1.  People  or  disciples 
from  Libertum  near  Cyrene,  Africa.— 2.  That  the 
Libertines  were  Jews  who  had  been  made  prisoners 
in  various  wars,  reduced  to  slavery,  and  afterward 
liberated,  converted,  and  received  into  the  syna- 
gogues with  disciples  from  other  cities  (Jos.  Ant. 
xviii.  3,  §  5). 

LIB'NAH  (whiteness).  Station  in  the  desert 
(Num.  xxxiu.  20),  between  Sinai  and  Kadesh, 
near  Rissah,  perhaps  on  the  Red  Sea.  Labau 
Deut.  i.  1).— 2.  A  city  in  the  S.  W.  of  Palestine, 
taken  by  Joshua  next  after  Makkedah,  on  the  day 
that  "the  sun  stood  still."  Sennacherib  besieged 
it  (2  K.  xix.  8).  The  great  destruction  of  his  army, 
when  185,000  died  in  one  night  (Is.  xxxvii.  8-36; 
2  K.  xix.  8),  took  place  either  here  (where  Rabsha- 
keh,  his  general,  joined  him  with  the  force  that  had 
camped  at  Jerusalem),  or,  according  to  Josephus 
and  Herodotus,  at  Pelusium  (Ant.  x.  1,  4) .  King 
Zedekiah's  mother  was  of  this  place  (Jer.  Iii.  1). 
A  little  village  called  El  Menshieh,  5  ms.  W.  of 
Eleutheropolis,  on  the  direct  road  between  Makke- 
dah and  Eglon,  with  a  few  ruins  which  are  evi- 
dences of  its  former  strength,  marks  the  site  of 
the  ancient  Libnah.

LICE  (kinnim).  Only  in  Ex.  viii.  16-18,  and  Ps. 
cv.  31;  both  references  applying  to  the  plague  in 
Egypt.  It  is  urged  by  some  that  the  original 
means  gnats  and  not  lice :  1.  Because  the  Greek 
knips  (knipes)  may  mean  that  insect. — 2.  Plant-lice 
may  have  been  meant,  and  an  Arabic  word  (kaml, 
a  louse)  is  referred  to  in  proof,  when  describing  "a 
thistle  black  with  plant-lice,"  which  is  often  seen 
in  Egypt.  The  Egyptians  were  very  scrupulous  on 
the  subject  of  pmity,  and  especially  avoided  lice 
and  all  vermin.  The  plague  of  lice  was  therefore 
especially  obnoxious  to  them. 

LIEUTENANTS.  The  official  title  of  one  who 
governed  the  Persian  empire  (Esth.  in.  12,  viii.  9). 

LIFE  (hay,  or  chay),  living  thing  (Gen.  i.  20); 
NEPHESH,  soul  (xii.  5;  Ps.  xi.  1);  mind  (xxiii.  8); 
person  (xiv.  21);  heart  (Ex.  xxiii.  9);  Greek  bios, 
present  life  (Luke  viii.  14) ;  zee,  (Matt.  vii.  14) ;  zoo, 
to  live;  pneuma,  spirit,  ghost  (Rev.  xiii.  19);  psu- 
che,  soul  (Matt.  ii.  20).  Life  and  to  five  used  of 
the  existence  of  men  and  animals,  and  of  the  en- 
joyment of  what  makes  life  valuable,  as  happiness 
(Ps.  xvi.  11),  and  the  favor  of  God  (Rom.  vi.  4). 
The  true  life  is  immortality  in  blessedness  and 
glory,  and  it  is  believed  by  some  that  Jesus  taught 
that  such  a  life  was  only"  to  be  won  by  a  pure  life 
of  faith  and  deeds,  believing  on  him'  \\ho  is  the 
Lord  of  Life  (Matt.  xix.  16,  17,  29;  Rom.  ii.  7,  v. 
17,  vi.  23. 

LIGHT  (OR ;  Gr.  phos).  The  element  light ;  that

Intellectual,  moral,  and  spiritual  element  by  which 
we  may  see  (Matt.  vi.  2.$;  John  i.  4,  v.  35).  God 
is  tiie  source  of  this  light,  as  the  sun  is  of  the 
other.  Children  of  lit,'ht  is  a  term  for  true  disci- 
ples (Luke  xvi.  8;  Eph.  v.  8).  Jesus  Christ  Is 
the  Light  of  the  world. 

LI  GITRE  (LESHEM).    Precious  Stones.

LIL'Y  (SHU- 
6HAH,  6H0SHAN- 
NAH;  Gr.Knnon), 
There  is  a  great 
difference  of  opin- 
ion on  this  ques- 
tion as  to  what 
flower  was  meant 
by  the  Hebrews, 

orbyJesus.which  //'^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Si^W^' / 

appears    in    our  fA-T/^^KBE^^v' 

translation  as  the 
Uly.  Dr.  Thorn- 
soil,  {Lajid  and 
Book,  1.394),  says, 
"The  Huleh  lily 
is  very  large,  and 
the  three  inner 
petals  meet  above 
and  form  a  gor- 
geous canopy, 
such  as  art  never 
approached,  and 
king    never    sat 

under,    even    in  ^u^. 

his  iitmost  glory. 

Nothing  can  be  in  higher  conti'ast  than  the  luxuri- 
ant, velvety  softness  of  this  lily,  and  the  crabbed, 
tangled  hedge  of  thorns  about  it. ' ' 

The  Phoenician  architects  ornamented  the  temple 
with  lily  work,  probably  imitating  the  use  of  the 
lotus  in  Egypt  about  the  columns,  and  the  rim  of 
the  brazen  sea.  These  ideas  are  wrought  into 
visible  shape  in  T.  O.  Paine's  Temple  of  aolomon. 

LIME.  Limestone  is  the  common  rock  of  Pales- 
tine (Dent,  xxvii.  2,  4).  Lime-kilns  are  frequent, 
and  where  limestone  is  not  easily  accessible,  as  in 
Asia  Minor,  the  Turks  are  in  the  habit  of  breaking 
up  the  marble  columns,  capitals,  handsomely 
carved  entablatures,  and  even  statues  of  the  gods, 
to  be  burnt  into  lime. 

LINEN.  Heb.  1.  shesh,  fine  linen  (Gen.  xli. 
42) ;  2.  BAD,  linen  used  for  the  under  clothes  of  the 
priests  (Ex.  xxviii.  42;  Lev.  vi.  10);  3.  buts,  fine 
linen,  perhaps  from  the  Gr^ek  Bursas  (2  Chr.  v. 
12),  of  which  the  vail  of  the  temple  was  made  (iii. 
14),  and  ]Mordecai  was  arrayed  (colored  purple), 
anil  the  rich  man  arrayed  in  the  parable  (Luke 
xvi.  19);  4.  ETUN,  made  of  fine  flax  (Prov.  vii.  16); 
5.  MiKVE,  linen  yarn  (1  K.  x.  28);  6.  sadin,  linen 
garments  (Judg.  xiv.  12);  7.  Gr.  sindon. 

Ejrypt,  from  the  most  an- 
cient time,  was  celebrated 
for  its  fine  linen,  which 
was  used  for  the  sacred 
garments  of  the  priests,  for 
mummy  wrappers,  and  to 
write  upon.  Some  speci- 
mens may  be  seen  in  the 
Abbot  Egyptian  Museum, 

in    New  York  (Hist.  So.  -  "■  —=='-— :^-. 

Building,  on  2d  Ave.,  near

LIN'TEL.  The  upper  framework  of  a  door  (1 
K.  vi.  31)  correctly  "upper  door-post"  (Ex.  xii.  7). 

Heb.  AYiL,  post  (Ez.  xl.,  xli.).  Some  say  that 
ayil  meant  a  wall  along  an  entrance  way  which 
could  be  divided  into  panels;  2.  kaftar,  knop 
(Amos  ix.  1;  Zeph.  ii.  14);  3.  mashkof  (upper 
door-post  in  Ex.  xii.  22).    Aben  Ezra  translates 


mashkof  by  window,  because  it  means  "to  look, 
as  from  the  window  over  the  door  upon  any  one 
below.    See  Window. 

Li  NTJS  ifiiux).  A  disciple  at  Rome  (2  Tim.  Iv. 
21). 

The  first  bishop  of  Rome  after  the  apostles  was 
Linus  (A.  D.  G8-80),  and  no  lofty  pre-eminence 
was  attached  to  the  office  at  that  time,  as  appears 
from  the  simple  mention  of  his  name  among  others. 
He  is  said  to  have  written  an  account  of  the  dis- 
pute between  Peter  and  Simon  Magus. 

LI'ON.  There  are  no  lions  now  in  Palestine,  but 
they  abound  in  the  deserts,  and  the  swamps  of  the 
Euphrates.  There  are  several  names  of  places 
compounded  of  the  name  of  lion  which  show  that 
the  animal  was  known  there  anciently,  as  Leboath, 
Laish  (Josh.  xv.  32;  Judg.  xvii.  7). 

These  seven  names  for  lion,  indicating  different 
ages:  1.  gur,  or  gor,  a  cub  (Gen.  xlix.  9);  2.  ke- 
fir, a  young  lion  (Judg.  xiv.  5);  3.  Aiu,  aryeh, 
full  grown  lion  (Gen.  xlix.  9);  4.  shakhal,  {the 
roarer)  large,  strong  lion  (Job  iv.  10);  5.  shakhaz, 
in  full  vigor  (xviii.  8);  6.  labi,  or  lebbiyA,  an  old 
Uon(Gen.  xlix.  9),  (Coptic,  labai,  lioness);  7.  laish, 
old,  decrepit,  feeble  (Job  iv.  11). 

The  lion  of  Palestine  was  probably  the  African, 
which  was  shorter  and  rounder,  and  had  less  mane 
than  the  Asiatic  variety.  Sometimes  a  "multitude 
of  shepherds"  turned  out  to  hunt  the  lion  (Is.  xxxi. 
4),  and  a  few  instances  are  recorded  of  a  single 
person  attacking  him  (1  Sara.  xvii.  34),  or  perhaps 
two  or  more  (Amos-iii.  12).  The  Arabs  now  dig  a 
pit  for  the  lion,  covering  it  slightly,  and  decoying 
him  with  some  small  animal,  as  a  kid. 

The  kings  kept  lions  for  amusement  (Ez.  xix. 
9),  and  for  hunting  in  Assyria  (Anc.  Egyptians  iii. 
17),  as  represented  on  the  monuments  (Layard, 
Nin.  and  Bab.  138).  Poets  and  other  writers  mado 
much  use  of  the  lion  for  his  strength  (Judg.  xiv. 
18),  courage  (Prov.  xxviii.  1),  and  ferocity  (Gen. 
xlix.  9) ;  qualities  which  were  attributed  to  brave, 
or  other  noted  men.  The  Ron's  roar  is  given  by 
four  Hebrew  words:  1.  shaag,  thunder  (Judg.  xiv. 
5),  his  roar  when  hunting;  2.  naham,  the  cry 
when  the  prey  is  seized  (Is.  v.  29);  3.  hajah, 
growl  of  defiance;  4.  naar,  the  yelp  of  young  lions 
(Jer.  11.  38).  Besides  these  there  are  terms  for 
other  qualities  and  acts;  as  rabats,  crouching  (Ez. 
xix.  2);  SHACHAT,  lying  in  wait  in  a  den;  abab, 
secret  watching  for  prey;  ramas,  creeping  in  a 
stealthy  manner  (Ps.  civ.  20);  zinnek,  the  spring 
upon  the  prey  (Deut.  xxxiii.  22).  The  hon  was 
used  in  poetry  and  in  sculpture  as  a  symbol  of  ma- 
jesty and  power,  as  in  the  Assyrian  compound 
figures.  In  Egypt  it  was  worshiped  at  Leontopo- 
lis.  It  was  the'  emblem  of  the  tribe  of  Judah,  and 
is  mentioned  as  a  symbol  by  John  in  Revelation  v. 
5.  Solomon's  throne  was  ornamented  with  lions, 
as  also  the  brazen  laver  (1  K.  vii.  29,  36). 

LITTER.  A  couch  or  sedan  chair,  borne  by 
men,  between  mules  or  on  camels,  now  in  use  by 


the  Egyptians  (Num.  vii.  3;  Is.  Ixvi.  20).    They 
are  shown  in  use  on  the  ancient  sculptures  and 


Internal  organ  of  the  body  (Prov.  vii.

insects  and  worms.  It  is  named  from  its  note 
■whicli  sounds  like  "Gecko."  Tliey  lay  small, 
round  eggs.  Their  feet  cling  to  the  wall  like  a 
fly's,  and  they  run  around  the  house  without  noise, 
always  at  night. 

LOAM'MI  (notmypeople).  Second  (symbolical) 
son  of  Hosea  (Hos.  i.  9). 

LOAN.  The  law  of  Moses  required  the  rich  to 
lend  to  the  poor  without  interest,  only  taking  se- 
curity against  loss.  Foreigners  were  not  included 
in  this  rule.  The  practice  of  usury  was  always 
discreditable  among  the  Hebrews  (Prov.  vi.  1,  4, 
xi.  15,  xvii.  18,  etc.),  and  Nehemiah  restrained  its 
exercise  (v.  1,  13).  The  Money  Changers  of  the 
Temple  were  useful  to  the  worshipers  from  a  dis- 
tance, and  especially  from  foreign  countries,  in 
changing  their  money  to  the  only  lawful  coin,  the 
half-shekel,  the  annual  temple  dues  from  each  per- 
son; but  their  presence  in  the  temple  itself  was 
illegal  and  a  desecration  of  the  holy  place.  Their 
proper  place  was  among  business  men,  on  the  street 
with  the  merchants. 

LOCK.  The  common  wooden  lock  of  the  East  is 
a  clumsy  wooden  bolt  kept  in  place  by  a  few  loose 
pins  wliich  may  be  lifted  by  a  key  with  pegs 
fitted  to  match  (see  Key).  Bolts  and  locks  were 
used  (Judg.  iii.  23;  Cant.  v.  5;  Neh.  iii.  3).

X.  4,  and  many  other  passages;  chagab  {locust 
generally)  grasshopper  in  Num.  xiii.  33,  and  otliers; 
CHARGoL  (locust)  grasshopper;  beetle  in  Lev.  xi.

hum  iii.  17;  Is.  xxiii.  4;  chanamal  (hail  or  frost?) 
locust  in  Ps.  Ixxviii.  47;  yelek  (ro^igh)  canker- 
worm  in  Nahum  iii.  15;  caterpillar  in  Ps.  cv.  34; 
CHA8IL  (caterpillar);  zelazal,  locust  in  Deut. 
xxviii.  42.  The  clouds  of  locusts  sometimes  ob- 
scure the  sun,  and  they  are  very  destructive,  eat- 
ing every  green  thing  in  then  way.  See  cuts  on 
pages  51,  83. 

Their  great  voracity  is  aUuded  to  in  Ex.  x.  12; 
Joel  i.  4;  and  several  other  jiassages,  and  they  are 
compared  to  horses  in  Joel  ii.  4,  5,  and  in  Picv.  ix. 
7,  9,  where  the  noise  they  make  in  flying  (like  a 
heavy  shower  of  rain)  is  also  noticed,  and  their  ir- 
resistable  progress.  Sometimes  they  enter  the 
houses  and  eat  the  wood  work.  They  'do  not  travel 
in  the  night.  Some  kinds  of  birds  eat  them  (Star- 
ling, Ar.  smurmur);  and  they  are  eaten  by  men 
also,  after  being  roasted,  fried  or  stewed,  mixed 
with  flour  and  ground  or  pounded  fine,  and  by 
boiling  in  water.  Vast  quantities  are  drowned  in 
the  sea,  being  carried  into  it  by  the  wind.  They 
generally  die  in  a  day  or  two.  'The  children  catch 
some  kinds,  as  they  do  handsome  butterflies,  for 
their  beauty,  being  marked  with  many  colors, 
streaked  and  spotted.    The  women  often  put  the 


eggs  of  the  locust  (chargol)  into  their  ears  as  a 
cure  for,  or  a  preventive  of,  ear-aches. 

LOD.  Built  by  Shamer  (1  Chr.  viii.  12).  Always 
connected  with  Ono.  It  is  called  Lydda  in  the 
Acts  (ix.  32),  where  Peter  healed  ^neas  of  palsy. 
One  of  the  murderers  of  Julius  Cgesar  (Cassius 
Longinus)  was  stationed  in  Palestine,  and  sold  the 
whole  people  of  Lydda  into  slavery  (Ant.  xiv.  11, 
2);  and  Antony  restored  them.  Cestius  Gallus 
burnt  it,  and  Vespasian,  some  time  after,  colonized 
it.  The  Romans  gave  it  a  new  name,  Diospolis 
(on  the  coins  of  Septimus  Severus),  and  it  became 
a  seat  of  Jewish  learning,  and  a  large  and  wealthy 
town.  It  was  the  seat  of  a  bishopric  at  an  early 
date.  Tradition  connects  the  birth  of  St.  George 
with  the  ruins  of  a  church  in  the  town,  once  a 
splendid  structure,  built  by  Justinian  (Rob.  ii. 
244).  There  are  about  1000  people  now  in  the 
place,  which  is  called  by  its  ancient  name,  as  near 
as  an  Arab  can  speak  it  (Lud). 

LODE 'BAB  (icithout  pasture).  The  native  place 
Machir  ben  Ammiel,  in  whose  house  Mephiboslieth 
found  a  home,  after  his  father's  death,  on  the  E. 
of  Jordan  (2  Sam.  xvii.  27,  ix.  4,  o).  This  same 
Machir  was  one  of  the  first  to  supply  the  wants  of 
David  when  he  fled  from  Absalom.  It  was  near 
Mahanaim.    Lost. 

LODGE.  (Is.  i.  8).  Cottage.  Shelter  made  of

LODGE,  to.  To  "tarry  all  night"  (Gen.  xix.  2 ; 
Judg.  xix.  10;  Matt.  xxi.  17).  Hospitality.  Ikn. 

LOINS.  The  lower  region  of  the  back,  the  seat 
of  strength  (Gen.  xxxv.  11,  xxxvii.  34).  Figura- 
tively the  source  of  progeny.

Tim.  i.  5,  iii.  15) . 

LOED.    See  Jah. 

LORD'S  DAY,  THE.  (Greek,  He  kuriake  hemera, 
in  Rev.  i.  10).  The  first  day  of  the  week,  the 
weekly  festival  in  memory  of  the  resurrection  of 
the  Lord  on  that  day.  Some  of  the  "fathers  of 
the  early  Church"  understand  it  to  mean  Easter 
day. 

"The  first  day  of  the  week  was  chosen  for  the 
weekly  meetings  and  feasts  by  those  who 
"preached  Jesus  and  the  Resurrection."  The 
appearance  to  the  disciples,  apostles,  and  others, 
were  all  on  the  Lord's  day,  and  the  custom  of 
assembling  on  that  day  was  adopted  without  a 
recorded  exception  in  all  the  Churches.  Besides 
the  evidence  of  the  early  fathers  there  is  that  of 
Pliny  in  his  letter  to  Trajan,  from  Pontus,  "The 
Christians  were  accustomed  to  meet  together  on  a 
stated  day,  before  it  was  light,  and  sing  hymns  to 
Christ  or  God,  and  to  bind  themselves  by  a  sacra- 
ment, and  after  separating  they  met  agam  to  take 
a  general  meal.  Justin  Martyr  calls  it  Siniday, 
saying  the  exercises  were  prayer,  the  celebration 
of  the  Holy  Eucharist,  and  the  collection  of  alms, 
because  it  was  the  first  day  on  which  God  dis- 
pelled the  darkness,  and  because  Jesus  Christ  rose 
from  the  dead  on  it."  This  is  not  the  Sabbath, 
for  that  was  the  7th  day,  and  was  a  day  of  rest 
and  a  "Holy  day"  to  Jehovah  (Is.  Iviii.  13),  and 
the  two.  are  carefully  separated  in  character  and 
intention.  The  Lord's  day  was  to  be  a  day  of  joy, 
cheerfulness,  and  of  relaxation,  and  of  religious 
meetings,  no  work  being  formally  forbidden  or 
rest  commanded,  and  the" law  of  Moses  in  the  4th 
commandment  is  nowhere  in  the  Gospels  applied 
to  the  day. 

Some  deny  any  religious  character  or  obligation 
to  the  day;  others  hold  it  to  be  an  institution  of 
the  Chureh  only,  without  divine  sanction ;  and  a 
third  opinion  is  that  it  is  a  continuation  under  the 
new  order  of  spiritual  things,  of  the  original  Sab- 
bath, and  the  4th  commandment  applies  equally  to 
the  Lord's  day.

LORD'S  PRAYER 


185 


LOT 


The  first  legal  act  affcctiug  the  day  that  is  re- 1 
corded  is  tliat  of  Constantine,  A.  D.  ;^21,  "Let  all  I 
judges  and  city  people,  and  the  business  of  all 
aits,  rest  on  tht^  venerable  Day  of  tlie  ISun.  Yet 
let  those  in  the  country  freely  and  witliout  re- 
straint attend  to  the  cultivation  of  the  fields,  since 
it  frequently  happens  that  not  more  fitly  on  any 
day  may  corn  be  planti-d  in  furrows,  or  vines  iu 
the  trenches,  lest  through  the  moment's  opportu- 
nity the  benefit  granted  by  heavenly  foresight  be 
lost." 

Constantine  had  a  nation  of  many  kinds  of 
people  with  many  kinds  of  religion,  and  he  so 
framed  the  laws  in  favor  of  his  new  faith  as  to  do 
as  little  violence  as  possible  to  the  old  institutions. 
TUis  law  was  acceptable  to  the  Christians  who 
could  keep  it  with  joy,  and  not  burdensome  to  tlie 
Pagans,  who  could  feel  no  interest  in  it.  He  cer- 
taiidy  did  not  honor  the  day,  but  rather  accepted 
the  honor  tiiat  it  brought  to  him  as  a  convert  to 
the  new  faith. 

The  Council  of  Mce,  A.  D.  325,  notices  the  day 
incidentally  as  already  an  old  institution,  and 
makes  some  rules  concerning  the  posture  of  wor- 
shipers. 

LORD'S  PEAYER,  THE.  The  name  (not  in  the 
Scriptures)  of  the  prayer  spoken  by  Jesus  as  a 
model  to  his  disciples,  given  in  Matt.  vi.  9-13 ; 
Luke  xi.  2-4. 

LORD'S  SUPPER,  (Gr.  kurialcon  dcipnon,  1  Cor. 
xi.  20).  The  great  central  act  of  Christian  worship, 
described  by  Paul  (verses  23-26),  as  having  been 
instituted  on  the  night  of  the  betrayal.  It  was  a 
continuation  or  a  substitute  for  the  Passover 
(Matt.  xxvi.  19,  etc.).    See  Agape. 

The  Paschal  Feast  was  kept,  not  precisely  as 
Moses  directed  (Ex.  xii.),  but  in  this  manner:  The 
members  of  the  company  met  in  the  evening,  re- 
clined on  couches  (Joim  xiii.  23,  etc.),  the  head  of 
the  company  or  house  asking  a  blessing  "for  the 
day  and  for  the  wine,"  over  a  cup,  of  which  he 
and  all  the  others  tasted.  Then  all  present  washed 
their  hands.  Then  the  table  was  set  out  with  the 
Paschal  la;ub,  unleavened  bread,  bitter  herbs  and 
sauce  of  dates,  figs,  raisins  and  vinegar  (haro 
seth),  the  herbs  being  dipped  into  the  sauce  and 
eaten,  by  the  leader  first.  After  this  the  dishes 
were  changed  and  the  cup  of  wine  was  again 
blessed  and  passed  around.  Then  the  real  supper 
began  with  the  solemn  introductory  words  and  a 
thankgiving,  with  the  psalms  cxiii.,  cxiv.,  after 
which  the  liands  were  again  washed.  Then  the 
leader  broke  a  loaf  of  bread  and  gave  thanks,  dip- 
ping a  piece  with  the  bitter  heros  into  the  sauce 
(sop  in  A.  v.),  and  eating  it,  followed  by  all  the 
(•oni])any.  The  lamb  was  then  eaten,  with  bread 
and  herbs,  after  which  the  third  cup  of  wine,  called 
"the  cup  of  blessing,'^  w'as  passed  around.  A 
fourth  cup  (of  the  Hallt'l)  was  passed  around  dur- 
ing the  chanting  of  psalins  cxv.,  cxviii.  The  fifth 
cup  was  passed  during  the  chanting  of  the  Great 
IIallel  (Ps.  cxx.-cxxxvili.). 

The  Lord's  Supper  was  to  take  the  place  of  this 
feast,  and  the  bread  and  wine  instead  of  being 
-.ueinorials  of  the  delivt-rance  from  Egypt,  were  to 
be  memorials  of  tlie  Lord  and  Master.  "The  Pas- 
chal feast  was  annual,  but  no  rule  was  given  for 
the  new  supper,  which  was  left  to  be  settled  by  in- 
clination and  custom. 

The  unleavened  bread  broken  was  a  memorial  of 
his  broken  body,  the  wine  of  his  bloori  (s^e  Mntt. 
xiii.  38,  39;  Gen.  xh.  26;  Dan.  vii.  17),  which  was 
the  New  Testament  (Jer.  xxxi.  31),  symbolical  of 
the  new  covenant.  The  custom  was  well  observed 
from  the  beginning  (Acts  ii.  42).  Some  even  sup- 
pose that  the  blessing  of  the  bread  and  wine  oc- 
curred at  every  meal,  and  at  least  one  a  day,  each 
assembly  around  a  table  being  known  as  the 
church  of  such  a  place,  the  materials  being  paid 
for  out  of  the  common  fund.

JEEUSALEM. 


The  bread  was  such  as  was  commonly  used,  for 
they  did  not  propose  to  continue  the  obligation  of 
the  Passover  in  using  unleavened  bread;  the  wine, 
as  is  the  general  custom  in  the  East,,  was  mixed 
with  water.  A  part  of  the  ceremony  was  "a  holy 
kiss"  (1  Cor.  xvi.  20). 

The  original 
supper  of  ' '  fel- 
lowship "  pass- 
ed by  degrees 
into  the  "com- 
munion" ser- 
vice, as  taking 
the  place  of  the 
feast  of  charity, 
which  had  been 
abused  by  self- 
ish souls.  The 
new  rule  given 
by  Paul  separ- 
ated the  idea  of 
a  full  meal  from  the  celebration  of  the  Lord's  Sup- 

Eer,  or  the  Eucharist,  and  instead  of  daily  it  was  to 
e  only  on  the  Lord's  Day,  and  also  the  time  was 
changed  from  evening  to  the  morning  (Acts  xx. 
11). 

The  practice  of  Paul  himself  seems  to  have 
joined  the  Feast  of  Charity  and  the  Eucharist, 
especially  shown  on  board  the  ship  in  the  storm 
(xxvii.  35). 

LORTJHA'MAH  (the  uncompassionaied) .  Daugh- 
ter of  Hose  A  (IIos.  i.  6).    Ron  amah. 

LOT.  Son  of  Haran,  nephew  of  Abraham  (Gen. 
xi.  27),  born  in  Ur  of  the  Chaldees,  and  settled  in 
Canaan.  He  took  refuge  in  Egypt  with  Abram 
during  the  famine  (xii.  4,  xiii.  1),  and  returned  with 
him  into  the  south  of  Palestine.  He  chose  the 
Arabah  for  Ins  pasture-land,  leaving  Abram  on  the 
hills  of  Benjamin  and  Jivdah.  When  the  four  kings 
captured  him,  he  was  rescued  by  his  uncle  (xiv.). 
Lot  had  probably  entered  into  the  cities,  adopted 
some  of  their  customs,  and  gathered  other  property 
besides  cattle  and  tents  (v.  12),  including  women 
(servants).  The  last  scene  in  his  life  is  recorded 
in  connection  with  the  destruction  of  the  cities  of 
the  plain,  when  there  appears  in  contrast  with 
some  of  tlie  darkest  traits  of  human  nature  in  the 
people  of  the  cities,  the  pleasant  habits  and  customs 
of  Lot's  wandering  life ;  the  chivalrous  hospitality 
— v/ashing  feet,  unleavened  bread,  the  ready  feast, 
such  as  we  read  of  on  the  hills  of  Hebron  among 
Abram's  tents,  and  was  referred  to  by  Paul  in  the 
beautiful  passage,  "Be  not  forgetful  to  entertain 
strangers,  for  thereby  some  have  entertained 
angels  unawares"  (Heb.  xiii.  2).  The  traveler 
now  meets  with  these  traits  among  the  Bedawin, 
which  are  almost  identical  with  those  of  their  an- 
cestors of  that  early  age.  Where  Zoar  was,  or  in 
what  mountain  Lot  dwelt,  has  not  been  determined 
(see  Zoar).  The  story  of  Lot's  wife,  and  especi- 
ally the  strange  conclusion,  might  have  been  passed 
by  as  a  mysterj',  but  for  the  use  of  it  as  an  exam- 
ple in  one  of  the  discourses  of  Jesus  (Luke  xvii. 
31,  32),  where  he  says,  "In  that  day  he  that  is  in 
the  field  let  him  not  return  back :  remember  Lot's 
wife  "  (who  did).  The  author  of  the  Book  of  Wis- 
dom (x.  7),  and  Josephus  (Ant.  i.  11,  4),  seem  to 
have  believed  in  an  actual  monument  of  salt;  and 
many  travelers  from  their  day  to  this  have  seen 
and  described  pillars  of  salt  which  they  accepted  as 
Lot's  wile.  See  Geology  for  salt-mountain  of  So- 
dom. 

Ammon  and  Moab  were  the  children  of  Lot 
(Deut.  ii.  9,  19),  and  as  such  were  exempted  from 
conquest  by  Moses.  (See  Ps.  Ixxxiii.)  The  Arabs 
have  traditions  of  Lot  (Koran,  ch.  vii.,  xi.),  in 
wliich  he  is  described  as  a  preacher  sent  to  the  cit- 
ies of  the  plain,  which  they  call  Lot's  cities.  The 
Dead  Sea  is  also  called  the'Sea  of  Lot  (Bahr  Loot).

LO'TAlSr  (covenng).  Son  of  Seir  (Gen.  xxxvi. 
20). 

LOVE  (Heb.  ahaba,  Gr.  agape).  Natural  affec- 
tion. Also  spiritual  affection  for  holy  things  (Rom. 
xiii.  10;  1  John.  iv.  7,  etc.),  which  is  a  fruit  of  the

dued about  1250,  B.  C.  They  are  painted  as  a 
Shemitic  race,  fair  and  strong.  Perhaps  the  same 
as  the  Leha-Bim.  They  occupied  the  shores  of  the 
Great  Sea,  and  the  Desert  inland,  west  of  Egypt. 
The  Kabyles  and  Berbers  of  that  district  may  be 
descendants,  as  they  are  the  successors  of  the  Lu-

LTJEE  (Gr.  Loukas;  Latin  hwcas,  born  at  day- 
light). A  common  name  among  Romans.  A 
Gentile  born  at  Antioch  in  Syria,  educated  a  phy- 
sician, and  an  artist  (Nicephorus  ii.  43).  Some 
have  supposed  him  one  of  the  70,  and  also  one  of 
the  two  who  saw  Jesus  at  Emmaus,  but  without 
good  reason.  He  first  appears  historically  at 
Troas  with  Paul,  going  with  him  into  Macedonia 
(Acts  xvi.  9,  10),  and  writing  his  history  after 
that  as  an  eye  witness.  See  GosPEii  and  Acts  in

LTJZ.  hvzAn  {almondntree).  An  ancient  city  of 
Canaan,  named  Bethel  by  Jacob  (Gen.  xxviii. 
19). 

It  is  likely  that  the  place  of  Jacob's  pillar,  of  the 
El-Beth-el  sanctuary  (xxxv.  6,  xlviii.  3),  and  of  Je- 
roboam's idolatry  (1  K.  xii.  29),  were  not  in,  but 
so^iih  of  the  city  of  Luz  (Josh.  xvi.  1,  2,  xviii.  13). 
— 2.  One  of  the  men  of  Luz  was  allowed  by  the 
house  of  Joseph  to  escape,  when  the  city  was  de- 
stroyed, and  he  went  into  the  land  of  tlie  Hittites, 
where  he  built  another  Luz.  Probably  on  the 
Orontes  river  (Porter). 

LYCAO'NIA  {Lucas,  a  wolf,  wolf -country) .  An 
undulating  plain,  20  miles  by  13,  among  the  moun- 
tains in  Asia  Minor,  north  of  Cilicia. 

Iconium  (its  capital),  Derbe,  and  Lystra  were 
there,  and  visited  by  Paul.  The  speech  of  this  dis- 
trict was  a  corrupt  form  of  Greek  (Acts  xiv.  11). 
It  was  a  Roman  colony,  and  had  a  good  road.  The 
streams  are  bracki.sh,  and  there  are  several  small 
salt-lakes;  but  flocks  find  good  pasture.

brated in  Greek  mythology.    The  Romans  took  it 
from    Antiochus    the 
"%  Great,  alter  tlie  battle 

"--::_,^  of    Magnesia   (B.    C. 

"""-  190).   I'liere  are  many 

ruined  cities  in  this  re- 
gion, described  in  the 
excellent  works  of 
Fellows,  Spratt,  and 
Forbes,  full  of  archi- 
tecture, sculpture,  and 
inscriptions  of  the  an- 
cients. It  is  mentioned 
in  1  Mace.  xv.  23,  dur- 
ing its  golden  period, 
just  after  its  emanci- 
pation from  the  rule 
of  the  island  Rhodes. 
Paul  visited  two  of  its 
cities,  Patara  and 
Myra. 

LYD'DA.  Greek  form, 
of  Led.  The  first  histo- 
rical notice  of  this  city,  since  Christ,  is  the  signature 
of  ^tius  Lyddensis  to  the  acts  of  the  Council  of 
Nicasa  (A.  D.  325);  after  which  it  is  frequently 
mentioned,  especially  during  the  Crusades.  The 
Arabs  have  a  tradition  that  the  final  contest  be- 
tween Christ  and  Antichrist  will  be  at  Lydda. 
{S{i\e's  Koran,  c.  43,  note). 

LY'DIA  {from  king  Lydus).  A  province  in  Asia 
Minor,  on  the  Sea,  south  of  Mysia,  and  north  of

ing deah-r  in  dyed  goods  and  dyes,  and  belonged 
in  Thyatira,  wliicli'was  noted  tor  such  products. 
The  mention  of  the  conversion  of  her  household 
indicates  some  wealth  and  importance,  whether  as 
head  of  a  family  or  only  of  hired  servants.  Hit 
character  as  a  Christian  woman  is  shown  in  her  ac- 
ceptance of  the  Gospel,  her  urgent  hospitality,  and 
continued  friendship  for  Paul  and  Silas  when  they 
were  persecuted.    Her  death  is  not  recorded.

Luke,  and  also  anotlier  of  the  time  Caligula  and 
Claudius,  20  years  after  Luke's  reference.  The

rulers;  and  the  last  one  mentioned  by  Josephus  the 
one  referred  to  by  Luke.

lem under  Felix. 

He  rescued  Paul  from  the  mob  of  Jews,  and  af- 
terwards sent  him  to  Csesarea,  under  a  guard. 
Since  he  bought  his  freedom,  and  bore  a  Greek

MAGI 


MACIEDO'NIA.  The  country  N,  of  Thessaly  and 
the  ^gean  Sea,  S.  of  the  Balkan  mts.,  extending 
to  Trace  on  the  E.,  and  to  Illyria  on  the  W.  There 
are  two  great  plains,  one  watered  by  the  Axius, 
which  empties  into  the  Tiiermaic  gulf  near  Thessa- 
lonica,  and  tlie  other  by  the  Stryiuon,  whicli  hows 
by  Philippi  and  Amphipolis  into  the  ^gean  Sea. 
Mt.  Athos  is  a  peninsula  between  these  two  plains. 
Philip  and  Alexander  ruled  here,  and  the  Konians 
conquered  it  from  Perseus  (B.  C.  168. )  In  the  N.  T. 
times  a  proconsul  of  one  district  resided  at  Thessa- 
lonica,  ruling  over  Macedonia,  Thessaly,  and  a 
tract  along  the  Adriatic  (Acts  xvi.  9,  10,  12,  xix. 
21,  etc.).  In  the  Apocrypha  there  are  some  notices 
of  tins  country.  Haman  is  called  a  Macedonian 
(Esth.  xvi.  10).  The  Maccabees  mention  Alexan- 
der, son  of  Philip  (1  Mace.  1.  1),  who  came  out 
of  the  land  of  the  Chettiim  and  smote  Darius,  king 
of  tlie  Persians  and  Medes.  This  was  the  first  part 
of  Europe  that  received  the  Gospel,  by  the  labor  of 
Paul  and  his  companions  (Acts  xvi.  9),  who  first 
preached  to  a  small  congregation  of  women  (v.  13), 
on  the  banks  of  the  Strymon  near  Philippi ;  and 
the  first  convert  was  a  woman,  Lydia.

10, 14).    See  History  op  the  Books.

LTSIMACHUS. 

MACETELAH.  The  district  in  which  was  the 
field  of  Ephron  the  Hittite,  containing  the  cave 
which  was  bought  by  Abraham,  and  became  the 
burial-place  of  Abraham  himself,  Sarah,  Isaac,  Re- 
bekah,  Leah  and  Jacob.  This  cave  and  the  field 
aroimd  it  was  the  only  spot  which  belonged  to 
Abraham  in  the  country.  The  Haram  at  Hebron 
(see  view  of  Rebron)  is  said  to  stand  over  this 
cave.  It  is  a  massive  stone  structure,  in  the 
ancient  style,  of  dark  gray  stone,  200  ft.  long,  115 
wide,  and  50  high.  Some  of  the  stones  are  12  to  20 
ft.  long,  by  4  to  5  thick,  with  beveled  edges,  like 
the  temple  wall  at  Jerusalem,  and  must  be  as  old 
as  Solomon's  time. 

There  are  shown  inside  of  this  building,  which 
is  now  called  a  mosque,  several  small  monuments, 
standing  on  the  floor,  each  enclosed  in  a  shrine, 
with  iron  railings.  The  first  on  the  right  as  you 
enter  is  that  of  Abraham ;  on  the  left  that  of 
Sarah,  each  guarded  by  a  silver  gate.  Isaac  and 
Rebekah  are  also  honored,  each  "with  a  separate 
chapel ;  and  also  Jacob  and  Leah,  opposite  the 
entrance.  Tlie  cave  is  under  the  floor,  is  in  two 
rooms,  and  most  strictly  guarded  from  intrusion. 
The  best  description  is  given  by  Stanley  (Jcirish 


Church,  etc.).  This  is  almost  the  only  spot  on 
earth  which  attracts  all  who  profess  tne  simple 
creed  "I  beUeve  in  God."  And  this  is  only  the 
grave  of  an  old  shepherd,  who  lived  under  a  tent 
there  4,000  years  ago,  whose  only  title  was  "The 
Fi'iend,"  which  is  now  the  Arab  name  of  Hebron, 
Al  KMilil.

remote  antiquity  distinguished  Egypt  and  Chal-

of  sacred  scribes,  skilled  in  divining,  and  interpret- 
ing the  hidden  meaning  of  certain  passages  of  the 
Scriptures.  In  Egypt  and  Chaldtea  they  seem  to 
have  been  the  sole  int^rpretprs  of  secret  things, 
the  past  and  the  future,  but  in  Palestine  they  never 
ranked  with  the  prophets,  unless  among  the  idola- 
trous people.  The  Books  of  Exodus  and  Daniel 
show  their  eminent  position  and  influence,  and  pre- 
tense to  occult  knowledge.  Some  among  them 
were  probably  free  from  superstition ;  men  of 
ijound  minds,  and  finding  in  their  books  sounder 
views  of  the  Divine  government  of  the  world  than 
the  great  body  of  their  associates  were  capable  ol 
understanding.  The  exiled  Jews  carried  to  such 
as  these  tlie  welcome  knowledge  of  the  true  Jeho- 
vah. Of  this  class  v/ere  the  three  who,  as  "wise

MAGIC

MAGIC 


The  Gospel  narrative  is  simple  anil  direct.  They 
were  guided  by  a  star,  in  which  they  saw  the  sijjn 
of  the  expected  Messiah,  which  was  then  tlie 
"hope  of  all  nations."  As  niagianisni  was  tlien 
the  chief  religion  of  the  kingdom  of  Parthia,  it  is 
supposed  they  came  from  tiiat  country,  or  it  may 
be  from  Eastern  CiiahUea.  Their  dress  and  aj)- 
pearance  commanded  respect  at  Jerusalem,  and 
tlieir  presents  also  indicated  persons  of  no  ordinary 
rank.  (The  presents  do  not  seem  to  have  raised 
Joseph  and  Mary  above  their  condition  of  poverty). 
In  the  apocryphal  book  of  Seth  it  is  said  that  tnis 
"star  "  was  a  circle  of  light  with  a  figure  of  a  child 
and  a  cross  over  its  head  inside.  The  general 
ophiion  now  is  that  it  was  a  meteoric  substance, 
divinely  guiiled.  The  office  of  the  star  ended  at 
the  "manger,"  for  the  magi  wore  sent  back  by  a 
dieam  (Matt.  ii.  12). 

The  number  of  the  magi  was  not  stated,  but  has 
been  since  fixed  by  the  Roman  Church  as  three, 
with  tlie  names  Caspar,  Mdchoir,  Balthasar,  and 
the  title  of  kings,  whose  relics  arc  shown  in  Co- 
logne, where  they  are  honoi'ed  as  saints,  and  have 
a  gorgeous  monument.  Ps.  Ixxii.  10  is  the  founda- 
tion for  this  invention;  "The  kings  of  Tarshish 
and  of  the  isles  shall  bring  presents,  the  kings  of 
Slieba  and  Saba  shall  offer  gifts."  There  is  also  a 
legend  that  they  were  converted  by  the  apostle 
Thomas.  The  number  three  was  supposed  from 
the  gifts  being  three,  gold,  frankincense,  and 
myrrh,  "  The  gold  w'as  a  symbol  of  a  Idng;  the 
myrrh  of  the  bitterness  of  the  Passion,  and  tho 
preparation  of  the  tomb;  the  frankinccnce  was 
offered  in  adoration  of  the  divinity  of  the  Son  of 
God." 

The  Greek  Church  makes  the  occasion  magnificent 
and  important.  The  magi  arrive  with  a  grand  es- 
cort of  1000,  who  were  part  of  an  army  of  7000 
who  rested  on  the  East  bank  of  Euphrates.  They 
came  on  the  expedition  in  obedience  to  a  prophesy 
of  Zoroaster,  who  said  that  in  the  latter  days  there 
should  be  a  Mighty  One,  a  Pedeemcr,  and  that  a 
star  should  announce  his  coming.  Twelve  of  the 
holiest  priests  had  kept  watch  for  this  star  for 
many  ages,  on  the  Mount  of  Victory.  When  tho 
star  appeared  it  was  in  the  form  of  an  infant  with 
a  cross,  and  a  voice  bade  them  to  follow  it  to  Ju- 
dea,  which  they  did,  travehng  two  years,  during 
all  of  which  time  their  provisions  and  water  were 
supplied  by  a  miracle.  The  gifts  were  the  identi- 
cal ones  that  Abraham  gave  to  the  sons  of  Kcturah, 
the  Queen  of  Sheba  returned  to  Solomon,  and 
which  had  found  their  way  back  East  again.  The 
other  fanciful  legends  would  fill  a  volume. 

MAGIC.  Wonder-working,  in  some  way  beyond 
the  ordinary  powers  of  man.  This  is  only  a  pre- 
tense, and  has  nothing  to  do  with  Natural  Philoso- 
phy. The  belief  in  magic  as  a  reality  is  very 
wide-spread  in  the  East,  and  is  simply  an  undue 
exercise  of  certain  mental  faculties,  which  take  the 
place  of  religion  in  undeveloped  persons.  Some 
races  in  Africa  have  no  higher  conception  of  God 
and  religion  than  the  supposed  magical  powers  of 
the  air,  minerals,  etc.,  and  worship  by  incantations. 
Even  tlie  Shemites  were  not  exempt,  as  appears  in 
the  notices  of  Laban's  images,  but  with  them  it 
took  a  kind  of  second  rank  to  the  true  religion, 
being  considered  unlawful,  but  still  very  valuable 
as  an  aid  to  men  in  various  selfish  desires  (Gen. 
xxxi.  19,  30,  32-35).  This  is  the  first  notice  of  that 
superstition  which  in  after  time  worked  so  much 
mischief  in  the  Hebrew  community.  The  name 
TERAPHiM  has  been  derived  from  Egypt,  ter,  a 
shape,  figure,  or  rather,  in  Coptic,  to  cJimirje  figure. 

The  next  instance  in  the  history  of  the  magician 
is  in  the  account  of  Moses  before  Pliaraoh.  There 
is  a  little  doubt  as  to  the  intention  of  the  writer, 
whether  he  means  to  represent  that  the  Egyptians 
were  natural  philosophers  or  practicers  of  magic 
arta  (supernatural  magic).    They  had  notice  of 


what  Closes  was  to  do,  and  had  time  to  prepare  an 
imitation,  but  in  no  case  did  they  undo  what  the 
Hebrew  workers  did  ;  tor  they  did  not  restore  the 
purity  of  the  river  Nile  water,  nor  drive  away  the 
frogs,  lice,  and  locusts,  but  they  did  increase  the 
evil  in  each  case,  or  appeared  to  do  so.  The  Pha- 
raoh did  not  expect  auytliing  more  of  them.  When 
the  last  plague  came,  which  they  could  not  imitate, 
nor  dare  to  increase,  they  acknowledged  the  "fin- 

fer  of  God."  The  Egyptian  magicians  counted 
[oses  and  Aaron  as  members  of  their  own  pro- 
fession, ))ossessed  of  a  little  more  of  the  secret 
knowledge,  or  of  some  strange  device  unknown  to 
them,  and  the  Pharaoh  seems  to  have  thought  tho 
same,  until  the  miracle  of  the  boils  apiiearod, 
which  seems  to  have  convinced  him.  W  lien  the 
plague  of  boils  attacked  the  magicians  they  disap- 
peared. They  could  not  imitate  that,  nor  dare  to 
increase  it  in  themselves. 


COIN  OP  MACEDONIA. 

Some  writers  accept  the  theory  that  magic  is  an 
ir.iitation  of  the  Divine  sign-work— miracle— but 
the  work  of  the  Satan,  or  his  inferior  demons. 
The  original  Hebrew  account  of  the  work  before 
Pharaoh  says  "the  revealers  (magicians)  did  so 
with  their  fumigations." 

The  tricks  of  the  magicians  in  the  case  of  Pha- 
raoh were  paralleled  ijy  that  of  Artabanus,  who 
caused  the  wine  in,  the  cup  of  Xerxes  to  chanrra 
from  white  to  red,  which  he  interpreted  to  mean 
that  the  gods  were  displeased  with  the  expedition 
(the  displeased  one  was  Artabanus.) 

The  NACHASHisM  (enchantment,  or  serpent-di- 
vining) of  Balaam  is  the  next  point  in  this  history. 
But  it  appears  that  this  prophet  knew  the  true  Je- 
hovah, and  consulted  him  instead  of  the  "evil 
demons." 

All  through  the  history  of  the  Jews,  as  recorded 
in  the  Scriptures,  in  both  the  Old  and  New  Testa- 
ments, the  belief  in  the  actual  power  of  evil  spirits 
is  recognized,  and  cr.lU  d  into  use  in  many  cases. 
The  same  superstition  is  still  very  powenul  among 
the  poorly  informed,  and  lea<ls  to  consulting  for- 
tune-tellers, clairvoyants,  and  other  professors  of 
the  "black  art."  Pliny's  Natural  History  is  full  of 
curious  fables  on  this  topic,  and  these  fables  w^ere 
the  only  storehouse  of  the  so-called  wisdom  of  the 
magicians.  The  Eoman  Church  has  perpetuated 
this  beUef  and  practice  in  its  miracle  fables,  such 
as  in  the  life  of  Gregory  of  Neo  Cfesarea,  the 
Thaumaturgist  (wonder-worker),  and  the  "Our 
Lady  of  Lourdes,"  besides  manv  other  books  of 
"  Lives  of  Saints."    (See  Demon). 

The  notion  of  the  "Elixir  of  Life"  arose  from 
the  behef  that  Adam  would  have  lived  forever  if 
he  could  have  eaten  from  time  to  time  of  the  fruit 
of  the  tree  of  life;  but  that  being  excluded  from 
the  garden,  he  died;  and  therefore  if  tho  ti-ue  com- 
position of  the  fruit  can  bo  discovered  and  used  by 
men,  it  will  restore  youth  from  time  to  time,  and 
so  make  man  immortal.  The  "philosopher's 
stone"  is  the  same  notion  applied  to  minerals, 
which  are  to  be  purified  by  contact  with  a  pure  sub- 
stance, which  chnnges  all  metals  into  gold— the 
purest  known  metal.  The  early  Christian  did  not 
dispute  the  theory,  but  d<^niod  the  possibility  of 
discofering  tlie  true  "Elixir"  or  the  true  "Stone." 

The  immediate  mischief  of  this  "black  art"  is 
in  promising  power,  pleasure,  riches,  wisdom,  with- 
out the  necessary  sacrifice  of  study  and  labor.

MALCHIJAH 


The  Easterns  now  make  Solomon  a  sort  of  king 
of  magicians,  ruling  them  with  a  certain  "seal" 
(a  six-pointed  star — made  of  two  triangles),  and 
credit  all  manner  of  wonderful  deeds.  (See  Solo- 
mon. 

Paul  met  this  "imposition  and  crime"  as  it  de- 
served on  several  occasions,  the  most  noted  that 
was  recorded  being  at  Ephesus,  when  so  many  of 
the  books  of  magic  were  burned  (Acts  xix,  19), 
estimated  at  the  value  of  $85,000. 

There  is  no  evidence  in  the  Scriptui'es  that  any- 
real  results  were  ever  produced  by  these  magicians; 
it  was  all  trick,  effect  on  the  imagination  and 
fancy,  based  on  the  known  superstition  and  false 
instruction  of  the  dupes. 

The  Greek  and  Eoman  magicians  were  of  the 
same  character,  and  it  is  probable  that  all  nations 
and  tribes  have  a  set  of  impostors  of  a  like  kind, 
descending  from  the  magician  to  the  serpent- 
charmers,  fetish-inen,  clairvoyants,  and  medicine 
men  of  the  Indians.

MAMA'IAS  (1  Esd.  viii.  44). 
MAM  MON  {riches),  (Matt.  vi.  24). 
MAM  RE  {fnutfulness).    An  ancient  Amorite  in 
alliance  with  Abram  (Gen.  xiv.  13-24);  his  name 
was  given  to  the  site  on  which  Hebron  was  built 
(xxiii.  17,  19) . 

MAM  RE.  Faces  Machpelah  (Gen.  xxiii.  17,  etc). 
One  of  Abraham's  favorite  camping-grounds.  In 
its  grove  he  had  a  sanctuary,  which  he  called  his 
Bethel  (house  of  God).  Here  Abraham  entertained 
the  3  angels,  and  Isaac  was  promised.  The  name 
has  not  oeen  preserved  in  any  locality. 
MAM'UCHUS  (1  Esd.  ix.  30). 
MAN.  Four  Hebrew  words  are  rendered  man :  1. 
ADAM,  ruddy,  like  Edom.— 2.  ish,  a  man ;  enesh, 
a  woman. — 3.  geber,  to  be  strong. — 4.  methim, 
(mortal)  men  (as  in  IMethusael,  Methuselah).  The 
Adam  (ha-adam,  th:i  man)  was  the;  person  created 
in  the  image  of  God.  The  term  red  in  the  Eastern 
languages  means  many  different  tints  or  tones  of 
red;  as  a  red  horse  or  camel,  and,  when  used  of  a 
man,  means  "fair."  Some  explain  the  word  as 
derived  from  adamah,  earth,  because  he  was  made 
from  the  dust  or  earth.  The  word  Enoch  {strong, 
or  nobleman)  is  a  compound  of  the  word  ish.  The 
variant  Enoch  is  only  apparent  in  orthography,  the 
meaning  being  the  same. 

MAN'AEN.  Teacher  in  the  church  at  Antioch 
(Acts  xiii.  1).  Josephus  says  he  was  in  high  re- 
pute amongthe  Essenes  for  wisdom  and  piety.  He 
foretold  to  Herod  the  Great  that  he  was  to  attain 
royal  honors. 

MAN'AHATH  {offering).  Man'ahethttes.  A 
place  called  Manocho  in  a  list  of  ele\«n  towns  given 
m  the  Septuagint,  but  omitted  in  the  A.  V.,  as  not 
far  from  Bethlehem. 
MAN'AHATH.  Son  of  Shobal  (Gen.  xxxvi.  23). 
MANASSE'AS.  Son  of  Pahath-Moab  (1  Esd.  ix. 
31;  E/.r.  x.  .30). 

MANASSEH.  There  is  no  reason  given  for  de- 
priving Manasseh  of  his  birtln-ight,  as  there  was  in 
the  case  of  his  grand-uncle  Esau.  On  leaving 
Egypt  at  the  Exode  this  was  the  least  of  the  twelve 
tribes,  numbering  at  Sinai  only  .•?2,200,  but  at  the 
census,  just  bofore  the  crossingof  the  Jordan,  they 
had  increased  to  52,700  men  over  20  years  old,  at 
which  Manasseh  is  honored  with  a  first  mention 
before  Ephraim.  The  division  of  the  tribe  is  one 
of  the  singular  facts  in  the  history  of  the  Israelites, 
and  seems  to  be  at  variance  with  the  national  feel- 


ing and  laws.  Some  of  this  tribe  were  wamors, 
and  made  entensive  conquests:  as  Machir,  who 
took  Giletid  and  Bashan;  Jair,  who  took  (50  cities  in 
Argob;  and  Nobah,  who  captured  Kenath  and  its 
vicniity,  a  tract  of  country  the  most  difficult  in  the 
whole  land,  being  full  of  fortified  cities,  and  in  the 
possession  of  Og  and  Sihon.  (See  Haukan,  Ba- 
shan, Heshbon,  AnooB,  Kenath,  Nobah,  etc.). 

The  lot  of  the  half-tribe  west  of  the  Jordan  was 
small,  lying  along  th(^  north  border  of  Ei>hraim, 
but  since  the  boundary  is  so  slightly  recorded  it  is 
very  difficult  to  follow  it.  The  line  is  drawn  from 
the  river  Kanah  (supposing  that  riverto  have  been 
just  south  of  Ciesarea),  to  a  place  on  the  Jordan 
"  before  Shcchem  "  (Josh.  xvii.  7,  9,  11;  Jos.  Ant. 
V.  i.  22).  See  Dor,  Ibleam,  Enuor,  Taanach, 
and  Megiddo).  There  is  no  account  of  this  tribe 
separate  from  Ephraim,  and  it  is  likely  tiiat  the 
two  neighbors  were  spoken  of  as  one  people  (2 
Chr.  xxxi.  1,  xxxiv.  6,  9). 

MANAS'SES.  1.  (lEsd.  ix..33).— 2.  Kingof  Ju- 
dah  (Matt.  i.  10).  See  History  of  the  Books.— 
3.  Son  of  Joseph  (Rev.  vii.  6). — 4.  Husband  of 
Judith  (Jud.  viii.  2,  7).    See  Book  of  Judith. 

MANASS'ITES,  THE.  Members  of  the  tribe  of 
Manasseh  (Deut.  iv.  43). 


MAN'BRAKES  (Cant.  vii.  13).  The  mandrake 
is  now  called  Atropa  Mandragora.  The  odor 
or  flavor  of  the  plant  is  a  matter  of  opinion.  They 
have  a  delightful  smell,  and  the  taste  is  agreeable, 
though  nol  to  every  body.  The  Orientals  especi- 
ally value  strongly  smelling  things,  that  to  more 
delicate  senses  are  unpleasing.  The  fruit  was  ripe 
as  the  time  of  wheat  harvest.  From  a  rude  resem- 
blance of  old  roots  of  the  mandrake  to  the  human 
form,  some  strange  superstitious  notions  have 
arisen  concerning  it  (Jos.  Wars,  vii.  6,  §  3).  The 
leaves  are  dark-green,  the  flowers  white,  with  veins 
of  purple,  and  the  fruit  orange,  and  the  size  of 
nutmegs. 

MAN'GER  (Gr.  phatne).  The  feeding-place  for 
animals,  or  a  trough  made  of  mortar  or  cut  out  of 
single  stones.    See  Inn.  •

MARKET 


MA'KI  (1  Esd.  ix.  30). 

MAN'LITJS,  TITUS  (Jborn  early  in  the  morning'). 
Ambassador  of  the  Eonians  (2  Mace.  xi.  34r-38). 

MAN'NA  (Heb.  man).  A  month  after  leaving 
Egypt  the  people  were  in  want  of  food,  and  niur- 
miired  against  their  leaders,  when  the  quails  were 
sent  in  the  evening  and  the  manna  appeared  in  the 
morning,  after  the  "  dew  was  gone  up. "  It  was  a 
small  round  thing,  like  hoar-frost  or  corriander- 
seed,  and  the  people  said  "what  is  this?"  (man- 
HU).    Moses  answered  that  it  was  the  bread  that 


SARCOPHAGUS  AT  SIDON. 


the  Lord  had  given  them  to  cat  (Ex,  xvi.  1-3, 
11-15).  Its  flavor  was  like  wafers  of  flour-bread 
and  honey.  The  gummy  drops  which  form  on  the 
leaves  of  the  tamarisk  are  of  a  similar  sweetish 
substance,  as  also  the  tarfa  gum,  and  several 
other  articles  called  manna  in  Arabia;  but  the  true 
manna  was  none  of  these,  and  probably  a  distinct 
thing  made  for  the  occasion.  Its  similarity  to  other 
things  olfers  no  explanation  of  its  character.  It 
came  without  notice,  and  as  abruptly  discontinued. 
Botanists  have  tried  to  explain  the  thing  by  refer- 
ences to  many  articles,  as  esculent  lichen,  which  is 
eaten  in  iSTorthern  Africa.  It  is  a  species  of  moss. 
Some  have  considered  the  miracle  as  multiplying 
the  natural  supples  of  the  desert  as  that  of  the 
loaves  and  fishes  was  at  Bethsaida,  increasing  five 
loaves  and  two  fishes. 

MANO'AH  irest).  Father  of  Samson  (Judg. 
xiii.  2). 

MAN-SLAYER.  Not  an  int(;ntional  mvirderer. 
Death  by  a  blow  in  a  quarrel  (Num.  xxxv.  22). 
Death  by  a  stone  thrown  at  random  (xxii.  23).  In 
these  and  like  cases  the  man-slayer  could  escape  to 
a  City  of  Refuge.  An  animal,  not  known  to  be 
vicious,  causing  death  to  a  person  was  put  to  death; 
but  if  it  was  known  to  be  vicious,  the  owner  was 
liable  to  be  fined  or  put  to  death  (Ex.  xxi.  28,  31). 
A  thief  taken  at  night  might  lawfully  be  put  to 
death;  but  if  the  sun  had  risen,  killing  him  was  re- 
garded as  Murder  (Ex.  xxii.  23). 

MAN'TLE  (Heb.  semichah).  See  cloak  in 
Dress. 


■SUA' OCB.  (breast-band).  Father  of  Achish.  King

MA'ON.  In  the  mts.  of  Judah  (Josh.  xv.  55), 
near  Juttah.  It  was  in  the  wilderness  near  this 
place  (bleak  and  hilly  pasture-lands)  that  David 
hid  himself  from  Saul.  Main  7  ms.  S.  E.  of  Hebron 
(Bob.).  On  a  conical  hill,  200  ft.  high,  are  ruins 
of  foundations  of  hewn  stone,  a  square  enclosure, 
towers,  and  cisterns.  The  people  use  the  caves 
near  for  dwellings,  as  of  old. 

MA'ONITES  (Judg.  x.  12) .  An  ancient  and  pow- 
erful nomad  tribe,  allied  to  the  Phoenicians,  first 
settled  with  the  Amalekites  in  the  vale  of  Sodom, 
and  afterward  migrated  eastward  into  Arabia. 
They  named  Maon  m  Judah,  Beth-Maon  in  Moab, 
and  Maan  in  Edom,  15  ms.  E.  of  Petra.  This  last 
is  now  an  important  pilgrim  station,  on  the  caravan 
route  to  Mecca.  A  castle  and  other  antiquities 
mark  its  ancient  strength.  Ltehunim  (2  Chr.  xxvi. 
7).  Among  the  descendants  of  Caleb,  the  son  of

ulon  (Josh.  xix.  11).  4  ms.  S.  W.  of  Nazareth,  the 
little  village  of  Malul  stands  on  a  hill,  and  con- 
tains the  ruins  of  a  temple  and  other  antiquities. 

MARANATH'A  (our  lord  cometh),  (1  Cor.  xvi. 
22).    See  Anathema. 

MAR'BLE.  Called  by  Josephus  white  stone, 
quarried  from  under  Jerusalem  (Esth.  i.  6). 

The  vast  excavation  under  the  N.  E.  section  of 
Jerusalem,  so  long  lost,  was  discovered  a  few  years 
ago  by  Dr.  J.  T.  Barclay,  author  of  ""The  City  of 
I  the  Great  King,"  and  since  that  time  has  been 
t  visited  by  many  travelers.  It  is  entered  from  out- 
side of  the  wall  of  the  city,  east  of  the  Damascus 
Gate.  A  guide  is  necessary  to  avoid  getting  lost, 
there  are  so  many  chambers  running  into  each 
other  for  nearly  800  feet  from  the  entrance.  There 
is  water  in  the  cave,  but  it  is  limy  and  bitter.  On 
the  walls  are  carved  crosses,  Hebrew  letters,  and 
other  marks,  showing  that  the  place  has  been 
known  since  the  crucifixion. 

The  chalky  limestone  of  Palestine  is  full  of  caves, 
many  of  which  are  noted.     (See  Adullam). 

The  white  stone  of  this  quarry  is  nearly  as  soft 
as  chalk,  and  is  easily  cut  out  with  a  saw.  Tlie 
cream-colored  is  also  streaked  with  orange-tawney 
and  other  similar  tints,  in  coarse  and  fine,  wavy- 
lines;  is  much  harder  than  the  white,  and  is  called 
dolomite. 

The  marble  columns  of  Tjtc,  Cgesarea,  Joppa 
and  other  ruins,  were  probably  imported,  as  there 
are  no  quarries  of  such  hard,'  fine,  white  marble 
known  in  the  country. 

MAR'CUS  (a  largn  hammer).  Both  a  first  and  a 
surname  (Col.  iv.  10). 

MARDOCHI'US.  Mordecai.  1.  Uncle  of  Esther 
(Esth.  X.  1).— 2.  (1  Esd.  v.  8). 

MARE'SHAH  (head-town).    1.  A  city  of  Judah 
(Josh.  XV.  44).    Hebron  was  founded  by  Mare- 
shah  (1  Chr.  ii.  42).    It  was  one  of  the  cities  for- 
tified by  Rehoboam  (2  Chr.  xi.  8).    It  was  the 
native  place  of  Eliezer,  who  prophesied  the  de- 
struction of  Jehoshaphat's  fleet  at  Ezion  Geber. —

social  chat  (:Malt.  xi.  16 ;  Luke  vii.  32).  There 
justice  was  atlniiiiisterod,  especially  if  it  was  at  a 
gate.  Tiiey  were  generally  open  pfaces  just  inside 
the  gate,  although  tliere  were  other  localities  for 
certain  occupations,  as  Bakers'  street  (Jer.  xxxvii. 
21),  and  many  others  mentioned  by  Josephus. 
They  were  i)robably  covered  by  a  roof,  forming  a 
piazza. 

MAR'MOTH.    A  priest  (1  Esd.  viii.  62). 

MA'ROTH  ibitL'Tims).  Mentioned  by  the  pro- 
phet Micah  (i.  12),  and  probably  near  Jerusalem. 

MAERIAGE.  Instituted  in  the  garden  of  Eden 
(Gen.  i.  27, 28;  ii.  18, 24) .  The  Saviour  advocated  the 
disMne  character  of  marriage  apart  from  civil  laws. 
He  opposed  divorces  except  for  one  cause  (ilatt. 
v.  32,  xix.  3,  G,  9),  and  all  breaches  of  tlie  marriage 
vow  (Matt.  V.  28).  Betrothal  preceded  the  mar- 
riage rite  and  was  a  binding  engagement  (^Matt.  i. 
18-25).  Groomsman  referred  to  as  "the  friend  of 
the  bridegroom"  in  John  ill.  29.  A  procession 
formed  part  of  the  ceremony,  and  took  place  at 
night  accompanied  by  young  unmarried  women 
bearing  lamps  (Matt.  xxv.). 

The  modern  Jews  make  a  solemn  contract  before 
witnesses,  in  writing,  which  is  signed.  The  cere- 
mony consists  of  the  bride  standing  in  her  best 
garments,  and  jewelry  (borrowcd.it"  necessary), 
under  a  canopy,  beside  the  bridegroom,  where  the 
contract  is  read  to  them  by  a  llabbi,  and  their 
hands  are  joined  in  the  presence  of  witnesses.  A 
glass  of  wine  is  tasted  by  both,  when  the  glass  is 
broken  by  the  bridegroom,  and  a  ring  is  given  to 
the  bride,  of  plain  gold.  In  nearly  all  cases  in  the 
East  a  dower  is  given  for  the  wife,  which  belongs 
to  her.  Some  few  parents  (as  the  Circassians) 
take  the  dower  as  a  price  paid  for  the  daughter. 
The  Mohammedan  custom  is  to  pay  the  bride  two- 
thirds  of  the  dower,  reserving  the  other  part  until 
her  death  or  divorce.  The  Hebrews  called  the 
husband  lord  (baal).  The  first  wife  was  the  only 
one  recognized  by  the  civil  law,  but  all  others  were 
valid  in  the  Church  (2  Chr.  xxiv.  3,  2  Sam.  xii.  8), 
where  (in  the  law  of  Moses)  the  second,  or  other 
wife,  Avas  called  maid-servant  (Ex.  xxi.  7).  The 
rich  often  married  poor  relatives  to  give  them  sup- 
port and  protection.  The  strongest  motive  for  a 
plurality  of  wives  was  the  great  desire  for  many 
children,  and  the  fact  that  many  women  arc  bar- 
ren (1  Sam.  i.  2).  The  Talmudists  Umited  the 
number  to  four,  except  in  the  case  of  the  king  who 
could  have  eighteen.  Polygamy  was  only  prohibi- 
ted by  an  imperial  edict  of  Honorius,  A.  D.  400. 

Just  before  the  Christian  era  the  idea  arose  that 
marriage  affected  the  intellectual  and  spiritual 
nature.  Up  to  that  time  the  Hebrews  taught  it  as 
a  duty,  but  then  it  was  urged  that  its  effect  was  to 
lessen  man's  holiness,  the  teaching  of  the  Essenes, 
an  ascetic  order  of  celibates  (Jos.  Wars,  ii.  8;  2, 
13).  The  Therapeutfe  and  Gnostics  adopted  the 
same  idea,  from  whom  the  Clu-istians  copied  it, 
forming  monastic  orders  (a  monk  is  a  living  insult 
to  woman),  in  direct  opposition  to  the  instruction 
of  Jesus  and  his  apostles,  who  recognized  the  duty 
and  holiness  of  the  state,  and  enjoined  respect  to 
its  laws.  In  the  case  of  a  widow'  it  was  regarded 
as  a  sign  of  holiness  to  remain  a  widow,  in  the 
latter  time  only,  for  it  is  expressly  charged  upon  a 
brother  to  raise  up  children  to  a  deceased  brother 
(Gen.  xxxviii.  8,)  by  his  widow  (by  Moses,  Matt. 
xxii.  23).  The  same  custom  (Levirate  marriage, 
from  Levir,  a  brother-in-law,)  w-as  and  is  held 
among  other  people,  as  in  the  case  of  the  Ossetes  in 
Georgia  (Asia),  and  Arabia,  with  some  changes, 
which  include  the  privilege  of  the  father  of  the 
deceased  husband  to  claim  the  widow  for  a  w^ife  if 
the  brother  refuses.  (Perhaps  in  consequence  of 
Judah's  example). 

The  laws  regulating  legal  marriage  were  very 
strict,  and  were  of  two  kinds,  1.  when  between  two 
Hebrews,  and  2.  when  a  Hebrew  married  a  Gen- 


tile. (1).  Tlie  first  restriction  was  based  on  ideas 
of  health  and  propriety  among  relatives  (Lev. 
xviii.  0-18),  both  of  blood  kin,  and  by  marriage, 
because  the  husband  and  wife  were  "one  fiesh" 
(Matt.  xix.  5).  Surprising  exceptions  were  made 
in  the  cases  of  the  daughter  and  the  niece ;  a  man 
might  marry  his  daughter  and  his  niece  ;  but  the 
mother  could  not  marry  a  son  or  a  nephew.  An 
heiress  could  not  marry  out  of  her  tribe  (out  of 
policy,  in  keeping  the  land  in  the  original  owner's 
tribe).  The  higii-priest  must  only  marry  a  young 
unmarried  woman,  a  Hebrew,  never  a  widow,  or 
one  divorced,  or  a  Gentile.  No  person  physically 
defective  could  marry.  The  apostle  restri<?ted 
church  officers  to  one  wife,  and  prohibited  a  second 
marriage  during  the  life-time  of  the  first,  even 
after  divorce.  I'he  wife  could  divorce  her  husband 
for  some  causes.  There  was  no  rule  in  regard  to 
age,  except  that  early  marriage  is  commended 
(Prov.  ii.  17  ;  v.  18;  Is.  Ixii.  6).  The  age  at  which 
marriage  may  he  consummated  is  from  12  (or  even 
10),  upwards,  in  a  woman;  and  was  limited  to  13 
in  a  man.  The  usual  age  varies  from  16  to  18.  The 
first  marriage  (of  virgins)  is  usually  on  a  Wednes- 
day;  a  second,  as  of  a  widow,  etc.,  on  Thursday. 
The  wife  is  almost  always  chosen  for  a  man  by 
his  parents,  if  living,  or  by  his  guardian,  or  a 
friend,  or  relations  (Gen.  xxiv.).  The  son  could 
request  such  favors  (xxiv.  4) ;  but  if  the  son  broke 
this  custom  the  parents  had  "a  grief  of  mmd" 
(xxvi.  3j).  The  maid's  consent  was  asked  in  some 
cases  (but  not  as  a  rule),  after  her  father's  deci- 
sion. A  friend  sometimes  did  the  whole  business 
of  selecting  the  bride  for  the  bridegroom ;  and  in 
modern  days  the  bridegi'oom  seldom  sees  the  face 
of  his  wife  until  the  actual  moment  of  marriage, 
or  until  after  the  ceremony.  The  espousal  was 
legal  and  binding,  confirmed  by  oaths,  a  feast, 
sometimes  a  ring  to  the  "bride,"  and  exchange  of 
presents,  or  at  least  presents  to  the  bride.  A  year 
passed  between  betr6thal  and  marriage  in  the  case 
of  a  first  marriage  of  the  woman,  a  few  weeks  or 
days  if  a  second.  The  custom  of  a  settlement  of 
property  on  the  wife  came  into  use  after  the  Cap- 
tivity, 


The  bridegroom  wore  a  new  dress,  if  able,  and  a 
crown  of  gold,  silver,  roses,  myrtle  or  olive. 

The  bride's  dress,  among  the  w^ealtliy,  was  a 
magnificent  display  of  fine  clothes  and  curious  tra- 
ditions. Both  parties  perfumed  themselves.  The 
bride  took  a  bath  (Ruth  iii.  3;  Eph.  v.  26)  in  a  for- 
mal manner,  accompanied  by  her  relatives  and 
friends  (Ez.  xxiii.  40).  After  putting  on  her  finest 
gannents,  around  her  waist  was  wound  a  pecuUar 
girdle  (kishurim:,  the  attire,  Jer.  iii.  32) ;  and  over 
her  head  was  thrown  the  veil  or  long  shawl  (Gen. 
xxix.  25),  covering  the  whole  figure;  while  on  her 
head  was  set  a  crown  ornamented  with  jewels,  or 
a  chaplet  of  leaves  and  flowers  (kallah,  chaplet, 
also  bride).  A  pair  of  ornamented  slippers  were 
a  gift  from  the  husband  before  marriage.  The 
moderns  carry  the  presents  to  the  bride  in  proces- 
sion through  the  street,  with  bands  of  music,  in- 
strumental and  vocal,  nearly  every  one  carrying  a 
lantern  ;  arriving  at  the  bride's  house,  she  is  es-

corted  to  the  bridegroom's  bouse,  where  the  mar- 
riage-feast is  held.  The  very  wealthy  prolong  the 
feast  several  days,  furnishiug  garments  for  each 
guest,  to  be  worii  only  during  the  time.  Amuse- 
ments of  many  kinds  are  in  order. 

There  were  three  kinds  of  legal  marriage:  1.  By 
written  contract;  2.  By  payment  of  a  sum  of  money 
(or  an  equivalent)  before  witnesses ;  and  3.  By 
foi-ee— as  a  man  compeUing  a  woman  to  submit  to 
him,  or  by  seduction. 

The  wife's  rights  were  food,  raiment  (including 
hou3e),  and  conjugal  privileges  (Ex.  xxi.  10).  Her 
duties  were  as  extensive  as  the  entire  household, 
as  shown  in  Prov.  xxxi. 

ilarriage  is  used  as  a  type  in  both  the  Old  and 
New  Testaments  of  true  religious  union  with  God 
in  many  beautiful  passages. 


MAR'S  HILL.    Areopagtjs. 

MAR'SENA  {worthy  mail).  A  prince  of  Persia 
(Estli.  i.  li). 

MAE'THA.  Daughter  of  Simon  the  leper,  and 
sister  of  Lazarus  and  Mary  of  Bethany.  She 
was  the  elder  sister,  the  head  and  manager  of  the 
household.  She  was  present  at  the  supper  at  Beth- 
any (John  xii.  2). 

Luke  calls  their  residence  Martha's  house,  be- 
cause there  was  no  reason  for  mentioning  anyone 
else  of  the  family  at  that  time,  and  she  was  the 
subject  of  the  record  then  writing.  When  Jesus 
first  visited  the  house  (Luke  x.  3S-42),  Martha 
hastens  to  provide  the  repast,  while  Mary  was 
attracted  by  the  teaching  of  the  master,  when 
Martha  complained  of  Mary's  neglect  of  the  work 
to  be  done,  forgetting  the  one  thing  needful  (the 
thirst  for  spiritual  waters?). 

Jklartha  character  appears  again  in  the  same  light 
at  the  thne  of  the  sickness,  death  and  resurrection 
of  Lazarus.  She  hastened  out  of  the  village  to 
meet  the  coming  Saviour,  while  Mary  sat  still  in  the 
house  and  awaited  his  coming  (John  xi.  20,  22). 
Her  anxiety  clouded  her  perception  of  the  true 
meaning  of  the  words  of  Jesus,  "He  shall  rise 
again,"  supposing  that  he  referred  only  to  the 
general  belief  in  the  resurrection  beyond  the 
grave.  "When  she  learned  the  truth  she  made  a 
confession  of  faith  in  him  as  "The  resurrection 
and  life,'  and  acknowledged  his  power  and  good- 
ness, although  a  moment  oefore  she  had  objected 
to  rolling  away  the  stone  from  the  door  of  the 
tomb,  supposing  the  body  of  Lazarus  to  be  de- 
cayed. 

She  is  mentioned  once  more  after  that,  again 
serving  rt  the  table  where  Jesus,  several  disciples, 
and  Lazarus,  were  dining,  but  then  she  also 
bathed  the  feet  of  the  brdoved  Master  with  tears, 
and  perfumed  him  with  a  very  expensive  unguent 
(xii.  1,  2).  Her  character  is  clearly  drawn  by  both 
Luke  and  John,  as  a  pattern  of  domestic  care  and 


fidelity,  and  sisterly  friendship.    Her  death  is  not 
recorded. 

MAE'TYS  (Gr.  marius).  "Witnesses"  in  Matt, 
xviii.  10.  Simply  witness.  Witnesses  of  the  gos-

Mafche  flowing  at  its  base,  preserve  the  name.  A 
prince  of  Mason  was  taken  by  Rameses  II  on  the 
Orontes,  at  Kedesh.

has  been  sujtposod  to  have  been  the  same  as  the

reason.  On  his  call  he  gave  a  feast  by  way  of  a 
farewell  to  his  friends,  to  which  Jesus  was  invited 
(Luke  v.  27).  His  humility  is  seen  In  his  styling 
liimself  "the  publican"  (Matt.  x.  3).  lie  was 
with  the  other  apostles  after  the  resurrection  (Acts 
i.  13).  After  this  there  is  no  record  of  him  or  his

MEALS.  The  Jews  generally  eat  their  dinner 
before  noon,  and  their  supper  after  sundown.  The 
chief  meal  of  the  Jews  was  in  the  evening;  of  the 
Egyptians  it  was  at  noon.  The  earlv  Hebrews 
sat  or  squatted  round  a  low  table  upon"  which  the 
meal  was  served,  but  in  later  times  couches  were 
used  to  recline  upon  before  the  tables.  The  guests 
were  ranged  in  order  of  rank  side  by  side  (Gen. 
xliii.  33),  resting  upon  the  left  elbow,  the  right  arm 
being  free— this  posture  explains  the  text  "leaning 
on  Jesus's  bosom  (John  xiii.  2.3,  xxi.  20).  The 
dishes,  as  they  are  to  this  day,  were  generally 
stews  of  rice,  beans,  and  burgal  (cracked  wheat), 


with  soups  or  sauces.  The  meats  were  so  cooked 
that  when  served  they  fell  to  pieces.  Knives  and 
forks  were  not  used  at  the  table,  but  spoons,  and 
generally  thin  slices  of  bread,  were  doubled  up  and 
dipped  into  the  dishes,  all  eating  from  the  same 
dish.  These  pieces  of  bread  also  served  the  pur- 
pose of  napkins.  It  was  after  this  manner  that 
Judas  eat  of  the  sauce  or  so])  at  the  Last  Supper

MEHUJAEL 


son  of  Japhet,  and  founder  of  a  great  race.  1500 
years  of  their  history  is  a  blanlt,  from  tiieir  first 
mention  to  the  time  when  Isaiah  threatened  to  stir 
tliem  up  against  Babylon  (xiii.  7,  B.  0.  72).  Be- 
rosus  (Ohaldfean  liistorian)  says  that  tlie  Medes 
conquered  Babylonia  B.  C.  2458.  This  date  may 
be  very  much  too  ancient,  for  the  word  Mede  is 
first  found  on  the  Assyrian  monuments  at  the  date 
of  B.  C.880  (Kawlinson);  but  there  is  no  doubt 
that  both  Cushite  and  Semitic  races  occupied  Meso- 
potamia together  from  a  very  early  date.  They 
were  called  Arians  in  the  time  of  which  Herodotus 
writes;  and  traces  of  them  are  found  from  Hindus- 
tan to  Thrace.  It  is  supposed  that  the  race  had  its 
origin  on  the  banks  of  the  Indus,  from  whence  its 
people  found  their  way  into  Persia,  Media,  Greece, 
etc. 

In  Media,  Sargon,  Sennacherib,  and  Esar-haddon 
reigned  from  B.  C.  720  to  B.  C  IJGO,  over  a  country 
which  before  that  time  had  been  ruled  by  a  great

the  middle  of  the  7th  century  B.  C,  Cyaxares  (the 
Mede)  led  a  fresh  immigration  of  Arians  into  Me- 
dia, and  is  called  the  fir.st  king  of  Media  by  Dio- 
dorus.  In  his  reign  the  three  king(ioms,  JNIedia, 
Lydia,  and  Babylon,  were  united  by  treaty  and  mar- 
riages. The  empire  extended  from  the  Ilalys  river 
to  the  Caspian  gates,  1500  miles  long,  and  from  the 
Euphrates  and  the  Persian  Gulf  to  the  Black  and 
Caspian  Seas,  450  miles  wide.  It  lasted  only  75 
years. 

The  Persians,  led  by  Cyrus,  conquered  Media 
and  terminated  the  kingdom,  B.  C.  558. 

One  of  the  tribes  of  Media,  the  Budii,  are  men- 
tioned in  the  Scripture  by  the  name  of  Phut  (Ez. 
xxvii.  10),  whose  soldiers  were  in  the  army  of 
Tyre,  together  with  Persians  and  others. 


The  ancient  religion  was  a  belief  in  two  nearly 
equal  divinities  of  opposite  principles,  Ormazd  the 
good,  and  Ahriman  the  evil— both  self -existent  and 
irresistible,  and  both  always  contending  with  each 
other.  Ormazd  was  woi'sliiped;  and  also  the  sun, 
moon,  and  stars,  and  respect  paid  to  genii.  The 
fire-worship  of  Armenia  was  more  or  less  blended 
with  this  system.  Magism  consisted  of  the  worship 
of  the  elements,  chiefly  fire.  Altars  on  mountain- 
tops  were  kept  continually  burning,  and  sacrifices 
were  frequent.  The  priesthood  formed  a  distinct 
class,  and  professed  ability  to  interpret  dreams,  ex- 
plain visions,  and  to  divine  future  events. 

The  captive  Israelites  were  placed  in  certain  cities 
of  the  Medes  by  the  king  of  Assyria  (2  K.  xvii.  6, 
etc.).  Both  Isaiah  and  Jeremiah  prophesied  the 
part  which  the  Medes  were  to  take  in  destroying 
Babylon  (Jer.  li.  11,  28).  Daniel  interpreted  the 
writing  on  the  wall  as  the  sign  of  the  coming  con- 
quest by  the  Medes  and  Persians  (xi.  25-28).  Ezra 

a,  S,  i,  o,  u,  y,l.  jg;  a,  e,  i,  o,  u,  y,  short;  cire,  far,  last,  fall,  what;  thSre, vgil,  t§rm;  pique,  firm;  done.fSr,  do,  wolf,  fo'od,  foot; 


mentions  the  palace  of  Achmetha,  where  the  decree 
of  Cyrus  was  found  (vi.  2,  5),  which  the  monu- 
ments prove  to  have  been  the  residence  of  Cyrus 
at  that  time.    See  Ecbatana. 

In  the  Apocrypha,  Media  is  the  chief  scene  of 
the  boolc  of  Tobit,  and  a  large  part  of  that  of 
Judith. 

ME'DIAN.    Citizen  of  Media  (Dan.  ix.  1). 

MEDIATOR  (i/iL'rpir.Ur).  Moses  was  the  Medi- 
ator between  Jehovah  and  the  Isralites  (Gal.  iii. 
19,  20).  Jesus  Chiust  is  tlie  one  Mediator  between 
God  and  men  (1  Tim.  ii.  5). 

MED'ICINE.  The  Egyptian  physicians  (barbers?) 
were  skilled,  and  perhaps  also  educated,  if  we  may 
believe  the  Greeks,  before  the  Exodus.  The  first 
mention  of  a  physician  was  of  the  "servants  of 
Joseph"  who  embalmed  his  father  (Gen.  1.  2); 
they  were  probably  regular  attendants  on  the  royal 
house.  Specialists  are  mentioned  by  Herodotus  (ii. 
84),  'each  physician  is  for  one  kind  of  sickness, 
such  as  for  the  eyes,  teeth,  head,  stomach,  etc. 
The  practice  of  medicine  was  largely  superstitious. 
The  medicines  mostly  used  were  salves,  balms, 
(Jer.  viii.  22),  plasters  or  poultices  (2  K.  xx.7); 
bathing  (2  K.  v.  10),  oils,  and  mineral  baths. 
Charms  and  amulets  were  used  by  the  Jews, 
also  charming  by  the  hand,  as  in  2  K.  v.  11. 
Knowledge  of  anatomy  is  suggested  in  Job  x.  11, 
and  also  shown  in  monumental  figures.  Phy- 
sicians received  public  salaries,  and  their  office 
was  held  in  high  esteem.  The  Jews  at  a  later 
period,  overcame  much  of  their  abhorrence  of 
uncleanness,  and  of  their  reverence  for  human 
remains,  in  the  pursuit  of  medical  knowledge. 
Alexandria  became  the  centre  for  medical  stuaj\ 
(See  Alexandria.)  Luke  is  referred  to  as  "tlie 
beloved  physician,"  and  his  medical  education  was 
probably  Greek. 

MEE'DA  (1  Esd.  v.  ■'52). 

MEEK.  Heb.  Anav,  ojjpressed,  afflicted,  humble. 
Applied  to  those  who  rather  suffer'wrong  than  do 
wrong,  and  therefore  enjoy  God's  favor  (Num.  xii. 
3).  The  word  translated  meek  in  Num.  xii.  3,  in 
reference  to  Moses,  means  "disinterested." 

MEGIDDO  (place  of  troops).  An  ancient  royal 
city  of  the  Canaanites,  on  the  south  border  of  the 
plain  of  Esdraelon,  commanding  a  pass  leading 
from  the  plain  to  the  Samarian  hills  (Josli.  xh.  21). 
In  the  territory  of  Issachar,  but  belonging  to  Ma- 
nasseh.  The  people  were  not  driven  out,  hut  paid 
tribute  (Judg.  i.  27,  28).  It  is  made  famous  in  the 
song  of  victory  of  Deborah,  when  Barak  defeated 
Sisera  (Judg.  iv.  13,  etc.).  One  of  Solomon's  offi- 
cers was  placed  here,  and  some  important  works 
built  (1  K.  ix.  15).  Ahaziah  fled  here  from  Jehu, 
and  died  (2  K.  ix.  27).  The  "good  king"  Josiah 
"went  against"  Pharaoh  Necho,  as  an  ally  of  tlie 
king  of  Assyria,  was  wounded  here,  and  "died  at 
Jerusalem  (2  (Jhr.  xxxv.  22-24).  Irom  this  event 
the  name  of  th(i  place  became  a  poetical  synonym 
for  terrible  conflict  and  grief ;  as  in  the  Pvcvelation 
(xvi.  1«.  See  also  Zech.  xii.  11 ;  2  Chr.  xxxv.  25).

MELCHIS  EDEC  (Heb.  v.,  vi.,  vii.). 

MEL  CHISHU'A.  Son  of  Saul  (1  Sam.  xiv.  49; 
xxxi.  2). 

MELCHIZ'EDEK  {king  of  righteoumess) .  He  lived 
in  the  time  of  Abraham,  worshiped  God,  and 
was  "a  priest  of  the  most  high  God,"  perhaps  a 
first-born,  and  a  patriarch  or  elder  in  the  city  of 
Salem  (Gen.  xiv.).  He  received  Abraham's  hom- 
age and  presents  or  tithes,  and  gave  him  a  blessing, 
and  gave  bread  and  wine  to  his  tired  and  hungry 
army. 

Some  have  thought  that  the  bread  and  wine  were 
sacrificial,  and  that  Melchizedek  was  a  type  of 
Christ.  Others  have  strangely  imagined  that  it 
was  an  appearance  of  Christ  "himself  in  the  dis- 
guise of  the  priest. 

He  really  was  both  a  king  and  a  priest — and  so 
far  typical  of  the  spiritual  king  and  priest,  Jesus 
the  Christ. 

The  "order  of  Melchizedek"  (Ps.  ex.  4)  means 
"likeness  in  official  dignity,"  being  both  king  and 
priest.  The  object  of  the  Hebrews  was  to  show 
that  Christ  was  the  king  and  priest  of  the  new  dis- 
pen.sation,  and  it  was  objected  that  he  was  not  of 
the  tribe  of  Levi,  and  his  father  was  not  a  high- 
priest  (Ex.  xxix.  29,  .30),  nor  even  anv  priest,  aiid 
his  mother  fell  short  of  the  requirements  of  the 
law  (Lev.  xxi.  1.3,  14).  His  descent  must  have 
been  preserved  in  the  records,  and  have  been  pure 
from  stains  on  both  father  and  mother's  side;  and 
he  was  to  become  a  priest  by  education  and  high- 
priest  by  consecration  (Ex.  xxix.  9)  with  the  holy 
oil,  while  wearing  the  holy  garments  of  Aaron; 
and  he  must  hand  over  his  office  to  a  successor  be- 
fore his  death.   Jesus  did  not  carry  out  this  Leviti- 


cal  idea,  and  was  not  therefore  a  priest  after  that 
order.  Paul,  in  his  letter  to  the  Hebrews,  discusses 
the  question  very  freely  and  clearly.    See  Salem.

MEL'ITA.  xMalta.  A  small  island,  20  by  12 
miles  in  extent,  and  tJO  miles  south  of  Sicily,  where 
Paul  was  wrecked  when  on  his  way  to  Rome  (Acts 
xxA'ii.  xxviii.).  The  island  is  full  of  mementoes 
of  Paul,  who  is  its  tutelary  saint.  The  bay  where 
the  shipwreck  occurred  is  called  St.  Paul's,  and  is 
a  deep  inlet  on  the  nortli  side  of  the  island,  5  miles 
from  the  port  of  Malta,  and  is  one  mile  wide  and 


PAUL'S  BAY.      MALTA 

two  miles  long,  inland,  having  the  small  island 
Salmonetta  on  the  western  side  of  the  entrance. 
Tlie  whole  island  is  a  barren  rock,  but  has  been 
made  fertile  to  some  extent  by  great  labor.  Tlie 
Phoenicians  colonized  it,  from  whom  the  Greeks 
took  it  about  736  B.  C;  and  in  turn  the  Cartha- 
ginians became  its  masters  in  the  Second  Punic 
War,  528  B.  C,  and  tlie  Romans  in  242  B.  C, 
whose  officer,  Publius,  governed  it  when  Paul  was 
there.  Its  history  since  tlien  has  been  full  of 
changes  in  its  masters,  in  w^hich  we  read  of  Van- 
dals, Greeks  (A.  D.  553),  Arabs,  Normans  (A.  D. 
1090),  Germans  (1530,  by  wliom  it  was  given  to  the 
Knights  of  St.  .lohn,  of  Jerusalem),  "the  French 
(1798),  and  finally  the  English,  who  hold  it  now. 
The  Anglican  Bishop  of  Gibraltar  resides  there. 
The  island  is  a  station  for  several  lines  of  steamers 
and  submarine  telegraph  caliles.  The  island  of 
Meleda,  in  the  Adriatic  Sea,  on  the  coast  of  Dal- 
matia,  125  miles  southeast  of  Venice,  was  once 
supposed  to  be  the  one  on  which  Paul  was 
wrecked;  but  a  more  careful  examination  of  all 
the  facts,  and  of  the  course  of  the  prevailing 
winds,  and  position  of  the  islands  and  places  men- 
tioned, both  before  and  after  the  sliipwreck,  have 
determined  the  question  in  favor  of  Malta.  The 
"barbarous  people"  of  Acts  xxviii.  2,  were  simply 
not  Greeks.  The  (ireeks  called  every  nation  or 
tribe  barbarians  who  did  not  speak  the  Greek 
language. 

MEL'ONS  (Heb.  abatichim).  Melons  are  ex- 
tensively cultivated  in  the  East,  and  used  as 
a  common  article  of  diet  ;  here  we  make  a 
luxury  of  them.  Thomson  says  "Nothing  could 
be  regretted  in  the  burning  desert  more  than  these 
delicious  (water)  melons,  wliose  exuberant  juice 
is  so  refreshing  to  the  thirsty  pilgrim,"  (Num. 
xi.  5).

Egyptian  name  was  Men-nefru,  the  pyramid  city. 
On  the  west  bank  of  the  Nile,  just  south  of  the 
junction  of  the  three  branches,  Canopic,  Sebenny- 
tic  and  Pelusiac.  It  was  built  on  a  district  whicli 
was  reclaimed  by  Menes  from  a  marsh,  by  turning 
the  Nile  into  a  new  channel,  east  of  the  ancient 
one  which  ran  close  to  the  Libyan  mountains;  and 
in  a  position  which  commanded  both  the  Delta  and 
Upper  Egypt.  Of  all  the  temples,  palaces,  walls, 
and  houses  which  the  ancient  historians  describe, 
not  one  stone  is  left  on  another — the  pyramids  only 
remaining.  The  necropolis  in  the  vicinity  wit- 
nesses the  ancient  importance  of  the  city.  The 
principal  pyramid  field  extends  along  ithe  west 
bank  of  the  Nile  for  about  15  miles;  and  the  whole 
district,  including  many  ruins  and  small  pyramids, 
for  nearly  60  miles.  There  are  from  40  to' 60  pyra- 
mids, according  to  the  count  of  various  travelers, 
who  include  more  or  less  large  and  small  pyramids 
and  ruins  of  supposed  pyramids.  The  Hebrew 
prophets  distinctly  predicted  the  fall  of  Memphis 
(Is.  xix.  13;  Jer.  ii.  16,  xlvi.  14,  19;  Ez.  xxx.  16), 
the  latest  about  525  B.  C,  50  years  before  the  in- 
vasion of  Cambyses,  and  their  words  seem  to  have 
been  fulfilled  to  the  very  letter.  Only  one  of  all 
its  multitude  of  images  and  idols  now  remains, 
fallen,  broken,  half  buried  in  sand  and  mud  (the 
statue  of  Rameses  II,  the  finest  known  work  of 
Egyptian  sculpture).  There  is  avast  collection  of 
antiquities  from  Egypt  in  the  Abbott  Museum, 
New  York,  where  may  be  seen  a  countless  number 
of  relics  of  the  past,  of  cloth,  papyrus,  wood, 
stone  and  metal,  with  works  of  art  from  Memphis 
and  other  localities  throughout  Egypt.  The  pyra- 
mids stand  on  a  rocky  shelf  of  the  desert,  150  feet 
above  the  Nile  basin. 

The  Great  Pyramid  was  480  feet  high,  and  built 
of  stone  quarried  near,  and  (the  finest)  across  the 
river,  at  Toura.  The  si;rface  was  smooth,  when 
complete,  being  finished  with  polished  marble,  or 
with  a  hard  cement.  This  is  now  taken  off,  leav- 
ing the  surface  in  rude  steps,  3  to  6  feet  hitrh, 
varied  by  the  thickness  of  the  layers  of  stone.  The 
interior  walls  were  also  polished,  and  are  now. 
The  king's  chamber  is  of  red  granite,  and  contains 
the  lower  part  of  a  porphyry  sarcophagus,  the  lid 
having  been  removed.  Cambyses  nearly  destroyed 
the  city,  B.  C.  470,  and  the  rise  of  Alexandria  into 
importance  completed  its  overthrow. 

MEMXJ'CAN  (in  authority) .    A  privy  council  of 


the  king  (Esth.  i.  14,  16,  21).  They  were  "wise

according  to  Aben  Ezra)  and  appeared  to  have 
formed  a  council  of  state,  interpreting  the  laws. 

MEN' AHEM   (consoler).    Son  of  Gadi,  king  of 
Ihsrael  from  B.  C.  772  to  761.     He  continued  the 
idolatrous  calf-worship  of  Jeroboam.     The  cotem- 
porary  prophets  Hosea  and  Amos  devoted  their 
lives  and  talents  to  attempts  at  reform 
of  the    Church  in    Israel,  but  without 
success.    Their  books  are  a  picture  of  so- 
ciety in  their  time,  poetically  expressed, 
,    but  certainly  not  flattering  to  either  king 
:    or  people.

MEON'ENIM,  THE  PLAIN^E.  Correctly,  The 
Oak  of  Meonenim  (the  oicJiamcrs);  (Judg.  ix.  37). 
There  were  five  noted  trees  near  Shechem.  1.  The 
oak  of  Moreh  (not  plain,  as  in  Gen.  xii.  6)  where 
Abram  built  his  first  altar  in  the  Promised  Land. — 
2.  Jacob  took  from  his  family  all  the  strange  gods, 
and  ear-rings,  and  hid  them  under  an  oak  at  She- 
chem (xxxv.  4). — 3.  The  oak  under  which  Joshua 
set  up  the  stone- witness  (Jo.sh.  xxi  v.  26). — 4.  The 
oak  of  the  pillar  (not  plain,  as  in  Judg.  ix.  6), 
under  which  Abimelech  was  made  king. — 5.  The 
oak  of  the  enchanters,  where  Gaal,  son  of  Ebed, 
saw  the  soldiers  of  Abimelech  coming,  as  he  stood 
in  the  gate  of  Shechem  (Judg.  ix.  37).  Jacob  and 
Joshua  may  have  chosen  the  same  tree,  and  the 
words  used  by  the  two  men  are  almost  identical  in 
form  and  spirit.  Probably,  also,  the  holy  place  and 
the  crowning  of  the  king  were  under  the  same 
tree  :  altogether  making  four  references  to  the  sr.rae 
sacred  oak.  These  sacred  trees  were  found  all  over 
the  land,  and  this  one  may  have  been  connected

a  development  of  benevolence,  a  feeling  of  kind- 
ness or  com])assion  toward  the  needy  and  helpless, 
and  an  attribute  of  God  toward  mankind  (Ex. 
XX.  6). 

MER'CY-SEAT  (Heb.  KAProuETH).  The  lid  of 
tlie  Ark  of  the  Covenant.    See  Aiuc. 

ME'RED  {rcbdlion).  Son  of  Ezra  (1  Clii^  iv.  17). 
He  took  for  a  wife  Bithiah  a  daughter  of  Pha- 
raoh. Perhaps  a  jjoetical  or  Keiiite  name  of  Moses. 
Others  say  of  Caleb  instead. 

MER  EMOTH  {hi<jht>i).  Son  of  Uriah,  of  the 
family  of  Hakkoz  (Ezr.  viii.  33),  and  appointed  a

MER'IBAH  (strife).  A  fountain  in  the  desert  of 
Sin,  wiiich  flowed  at  the  command  of  Moses  (Ex. 
xii.  1-7).  The  place  was  called  Massah  (Umipta- 
tion),  and  Meribah  {chicling).— 2.  Another  foun- 
tain of  tlie  same  character  was  near  Kadesh  (Num. 
XX.  13;  Deut.  xxxiii.  8).  This  is  also  called  the 
AYaters  of  Meribah  (Ps.  Ixxxi.  7,  cvi.  32).  It  was 
here  that  Moses  sinned  in  impatience  and  assump-

to  709,  and  in  702  six  months. 

The  Assyrian  inscriptions  give  his  name  dis- 
tinctly, and  have  records  of  both  reigns.  Sargon 
deposed  him  the  first  time,  and  Sennacherib  the 
second,  appointing  Belib  in  his  place.  There  is  no 
certainty  of  the  tiate  of  the  embassy  sent  by  him 
to  Hezekiah,  king  of  Judah  (2  Chr.  xxxii.  31), 
but  it  was  probably  between  B.  C.  721  and  709.  If 
the  real  object  of  the  league  was  to  effect  a  politi- 
cal union  for  strength  against  Assyria,  of  Babylon, 
Judpea,  and  Egypt,  then  tlie  business  failed,  for 
Sargon  seized  Babylon  and  Ashdod.

250  wide.  The  Aram  Naharaim  (in  the  Hebrew) 
of  Gen.  xxiv.  10,  and  Padan  Aram  of  xxv.  20.  It 
is  a  plain,  but  is  crossed  by  the  Shijar  hills  east  to 
west,  near  its  centre,  not  far  from  Mosul.  The 
nomade  tribes  are  the  only  people,  and  they  are 
driven  to  the  hills  in  the  hot  season,  when  the  pas- 
tures become  dry,  dusty  and  parched,  except  near 
the  streams.  (See  Assyria.)  It  is  becoming  the 
belief  among  scholars  that  the  Mesopotamia  (the 
city  of  Nahor)  of  Terah  and  Haran  of  Abraham 
were  near  Damascus  (Dr.  Beke),  where  lietiiuel 
and  Laban  lived,  and  Abraham  sent  a  servant  to 
fetch  Rebekah  to  be  Isaac's  wife;  and  a  hundred 
years  after  that  Jacob  earned  his  two  wives  in  21 
years.  It  was  also  the  residence  of  Balaam  (Deut. 
xxiii.  4).  All  of  these  references  may  apply  to 
the  region  around  Damascus,  between  the  rivers 
Pharpar  and  Abana. 

MESSI'AH.  Christ.  The  anointed  (as  a  king). 
The  word  is  found  in  the  original  Hebrew  many 
times,  in  all  of  which  it  is  translated  anointed,  ex- 
cept in  Daniel  ix.  25, 26.  The  ceremony  of  akoint- 
ING  was  intended  to  mark  what  God  had  set  apart 
for  his  own  purposes.  It  was  His  royal  stamp, 
which  was  to  be  applied  to  the  high  priest  (Ex. 
xxviii.  41),  the  offerings,  the  tabernacle,  table,  ark, 
candlestick,  altar  of  incense,  laver  and  vessels  at- 
tached to  them,  "to  sanctify  them,  and  they  shall 
be  most  holy;  whatsoever  toucheth  them  siiall  be 
holy." 

Samuel  anointed  Saul  and  David  (three  times), 
while  Al)saloTO  was  anointed  by  the  rebels.  The 
ceremony  was  performed  by  the  prophets  or  the 
Ijriests. 

The  prophetic  use  of  the  title  was  historic  among 
the  Hebrews,  and  well  known  to  Herod,  who  was 
afft^cted  by  the  idea,  although  he  doubted  the 
truth  of  tlie  divine  claim  to  a  belief  and  hope  for 
the  ]\Iessiah.  The  Messiah  was  to  be  a  son  of  Da- 
vid (the  great  king),  by  the  covenant  (Ps.  Ixxxix.) 
who  is  described  as  "the  mighty  God,  the  Father 
of  Ages,  the  Prince  of  Peace"  (Is.  ix.  6).  See 
Jesus,  pa  ere  157.  Some  expected  a  temporal  king, 
a  literal  king,  like  David.    In  their  view  "Son  of

David"  meant  one  who  inherited  his  wisdom  and 
kingly  power,  who  should  make  the  Jews  as  great 
a  people  as  ever,  or  even  greater. 

In  view,  also,  of  the  spiritual  darkness  and 
ignorance  of  their  oppressors,  and  all  of  their 
neighbors — as  judged  by  their  standard  —  there 
seemed  to  be  a  real  need  of  a  deliverer,  not  only 
for  Israel,  but  for  "all  nations."  The  true  Messiah 
was  to  be  an  Mistrument  by  whom  (jod's  great  pur- 
pose to  man  was  to  be  carried  out  by  a  sacrilicial 
work.  The  idea  of  a  2^Iessiah  is  as  old  as  the  >his- 
tory  of  the  Hebrew  race,  being  found,  or  rather 
alluded  to,  in  the  oldest  writings,  before  the  time 
of  -Moses,  and  especially  in  the  blessing  of  Jacob, 
and  in  the  psalms  of  David,  and  the  prophesies  of 
Isaiah,  Daniel,  etc.  The  expectation  of  a  "golden 
a^e"  was  common  among  the  ancient  nations,  to 
wliicii  the  Jews  added  the  particular  personage, 
the  Messiah,  who  was  to  reign  in  that  good  time ; 
and  this  is  still  kept  up  by  the  modern  Jews,  who 
pray,  at  every  meal,  "Jlerciful  God,  make  us 
worthy  of  seeing  the  days  of  the  Messiah." 

Historians  give  accounts  of  about  30  different 
pretended  Messiahs,  since  the  destruction  of  Jeru- 
salem by  Titus  (Matt.  xxiy.  24);  Mark  xiii.  22); 
which  are  so  many  proofs  of  the  real  Messiah, 
who  foretold  them. 

METALS.  The  earliest  record  of  the  production 
and  manufacture  of  metals  is  in  the  reference  to 
Tubal  Cain,  a  Cainite,  the  son  of  Lamech  (Gen. 
iv.  22).  The  first  mention  of  metal  as  money  is  in 
Gen.  xxiii.  16.  The  gold  and  silver  possess<^d  by 
the  Jews  was  of  vast  amount  even  allowing  for 
over  statements  (1  Chr.  xxii.  14,  xxix.  4).  The 
trade  in  metals  was  mostly  held  by  the  Phoenicians 
(Ez.  xvii.  7).  Metals  were  also  "supplied  worked 
in  thin  plates  (Jer.  x.  9).  The  holy  vessels  used 
in  the  Temple  were  mostly  gold  (Ezr.  v.  14).  Tin 
is  mentioned  among  the  spoils  of  the  Midianitcs 
(Num.  xxxi.  22),  and  lead  in  Ez.  xv.  10.  lu  the 
earliest  times  copper  (necosheth)  and  bronze  were 
used  for  many  purposes  in  the  place  of  iron  intro- 
duced at  a  later  period.  The  passage  in  Job  xxviii. 
2,  "Molten  out  of  stone,"  refers  to  the  smelting  of 
copper  ore.  In  Jer.  vi.  28,  the  word  copper  is  used 
as  a  term  of  vileness  (by  its  comparison  with  silver 
and  gold).  It  is  also  used  as  a  term  of  strength 
(Ps.  cvii.  16;  Jer.  i.  18,  xv.  20).  The  w^ord  brass 
is  frequently  used  for  copper.  The  art  of  coating 
with  brass  (?)  and  silver  was  known  to  the  He- 
brews (Ex.  xxxviii.  2,  and  Prov.  xxvi.  2.3).  The 
working  of  copper  into  weapons  and  utensils 
(Xum.'xvii.  4);  of  ca.stings  in  1  K.  yii.  45,  and  of 
gilding  (Is.  xl.  19).  Iron  (Barzel)  found  in  the 
hills  of  Palestine  as  well  as  copfier.  Probably 
steel  was  knowTi  to  the  Hebrews,  but  this  word 
appearing  in  2  Sam.  xxii.  35;  Job  xx.  24;  Ps.  xviii. 
31;  Jer.  xv.  12,  might  be  translated  brass,  or  more 
correctly,  copper.  Arms  w^ere  made  of  bronze  (2 
yam.  xxi.  16;  Job  xx.  24;  Ps.  xviii.  34),  and  armor 
in  1  Sam.  xvii.  5,  6,  38.    See  Money.

MI'CHAL  {icho  like  El  ?) .  The  youngest  daugh- 
ter of  Saul,  espoused  to  David.  Saul  had  intended 
to  make  her  a  party  to  his  designs,  but  was  foiled 
by  her  devotion  to  David.  This  was  especially 
illustrated  in  the  incident  in  1  Sam.  xix.  11-17,  by 
which  she  assisted  the  escape  of  David.  Saul  af- 
terwards canceled  the  marria';c,  but  a  reunion 
followed  through  the  mission  of  Abner  (2  Sam.  iii. 
12-21).  Through  her  conduct  on  meeting  David, 
after  his  return  from  celebrating  the  entry  of  the 
ark  into  .Jerusalem,  she  was  punished  with  the 
curse  of  barrenness  (2  Sam.  vi.  16-23).  Thus  it 
was  that  the  races  of  Saul  and  David  were  not 
imited. 

MICHE'AS.    The  prophet  Micah  7  (2  Esd.  i.  39). 

MICH'MAS  (Ezr.  ii.  27).    Michmash.

A  jiass  celebrated  by  the  exploit  of  Jonathan, 
Saul's  son  (1  Sam.  xiii.,  xiv.  4,  16).  Jonathan 
Maccaba3us  also  resided  there  (1  Mace.  ix.  73),  on 
account  of  the  military  strength  of  the  pass  (Ant. 
xiii.  1,  6).  Mukhnuis,  in  the  Wtidy  Es  SuwcinU, 
has  ruins  of  many  foundations  of  hewn  stones, 
columns,  cisterns,  etc.,  indicating  a  once  strong 
place,  perhaps  a  city  devoted  to  the  heathen  deity 
Chemosh  (tlie  two  names  being  sinnlar).  The  two 
rocks  (see  Bozez  and  Seneh),  may  still  be«seen; 
one  on  each  side  of  the  narrow  and  precipitous 
valley  {Rob.).  Isaiah,  in  speaking  of  the  invasion 
of  Judah  by  Sennacherib,  says  he'laid  up  his  car- 
riages at  Michmash  (x.  28),  which  agrees  with  the 
cliaracterof  the  place,  it  being  too  steep  for  wheels. 

MICHMETHAH  {hiding-place).  Boundary  of 
Ephraiui  and  Manasseh,  west  of  Jordan,  facing 
Shechem  (.Tosh.  xvii.  7).— 2.  Between  Ephraim

Psalms  (xvi.,  Ivi.,  Ix). 

MID'DIN  (mdOdurcs).  Judah,  in  the  wilderness. 
Um  el  Beduu,  S.  W.  of  the  Dead  Sea?    (Velde). 

MID 'IAN  (strife).  Fourth  sou  of  Abraham  by 
Keturah,  and  founder  of  a  nation  (Gen.  xxv.  2; 
Num.  xxii. ) ,  the  rulers  of  Nox-thern  Ai-abia  for  a 
long  time;  iuliabiting  the  peninsula  of  Sinai,  v/here 
Moses  fled  after  kilhng  the  Egyptian  (Ex.  ii.  15), 
and  the  country  east  of  Edoni  and  Palestine 
(xxxvii.  28).  They  were  a  snare  to  the  Israelites, 
and  Moses  denounced  their  mischief-making  (iN'um. 
xxv.  15, 17).  Gideon's  night-attack  with  trumpets, 
and  lamps  in  pitchers,  was  on  a  host  of  Midianites 
in  the  valley  of  Jezreel  (Judg.  vi.  to  viii.).  They 
were  nomadic,  pastoral,  wealthy,  and  delighted  in 
plunder,  exactly  as  their  descendants  the  Bedawins 
do  now.  There  is  no  mention  of  this  great  nation, 
which  has  had  an  existence  for  30  centuries,  in  any 
other  book  but  the  Bible,  unless  the  accounts  of 
the  x^Lrabs  of  the  city  of  Medyen  (the  ruins  of 
which  are  shown  on  the  Akabah  Gulf)  refer  to  a 
city  of  this  people.  There  is  a  tradition  (in  the 
Marasid,  and  a  history  of  the  people  in  El  Makhree- 
zi;e) ,  that  this  is  the  city  visited  by  Moses,  and  they 
point  out  a  well  at  which  he  watered  his  flocks. 
They  are  also  mentioned  in  the  Koran  (vii.,  xi.). 
It  is  conjectured  that  Jethro,  who  is  called  a  priest 
of  Midian,  was  of  the  Kenites,  who  were  a  branch 
of  this  people,  and  who  remained  friendly  to  the 
Israelites  when  the  main  body  of  the  Midianites 
made  war,  and  incurred  the  Divine  vengeance. 

MID'IABTITE.  One  from  Median  (Gen.  xxxvii. 
28,  33). 

MID'IANITISH.  Belonging  to  Midian  (Num. 
xxv.  (5ff). 

MID'KIFF.    Caul  (Ex.  xxix.  13). 

MID'WIFE.  Childbirth  in  the  East,  on  account 
of  open-air  living,  is  usually  easy.  The  oflice  of 
midwife,  when  necessary,  is  performed  by  relatives, 
and  sometimes  by  a  professional.  Two  or  tliree 
days  before  the  time  of  delivery,  the  midwife  car- 
ried to  the  house  a  chair,  of  peculiar  form,  upon 
which  the  patient  is  seated  during  birth  (Ex.  i.  16). 
Child.  The  modern  Egyptian  practice  explains 
that  alluded  to  in  Exodus.    See  Medicine. 

MIG'DAL  E'DAR.  Translated  "O  tower  of  the 
flock,"  in  Jtlicah  iv.  8.  A  poetic  name  of  Zion, 
because  of  its  strength  and  watchfulness  over  Is- 
rael (Jer.  xiii.  17). 


MIG'DAL  EL  (tower  of  God).  A  fenced  city  in 
Naphtali  (Josh.  xix.  38).  A  place  is  mentioned  in 
the  Wady  Kerkerah,  8  ms.  E.  of  Nakura,  called 
Mujeidel.  But  it  is  supposed  Magdala  is  referred 
to  in  the  text. 

MIG'DAL  GAD  (tower  of  Gad).  Judah,  in  the 
Shefelah  (Josh.  xv.  37),  near  Lachish  and  Eglon. 
El  Mejdel,  2  ms.  E.  of  Askulan,  is  a  large  and 
fine  village,  in  the  midst  of  groves,  orchards,  and 
cultivated  fields.  Large  hewn  stones,  columns, 
etc.,  indicate  an  antiquity  of  importance  ;  probably 
of  a  city  devoted  to  tlie  worship  of  the  heathen 
deity  Gad,  as  Baal  Gad  was,  under  Mt.  Hermon. 

MIG'DOL  (tower).  1.  A  place  between  which 
and  the  Red  Sea  the  Israelites  were  directed  to

ary town  mentioned  by  Jeremiah  and  Ezekiel,  on 
the  N.  as  Syene  was  on  the  S.  of  Egypt.  Hecatseus 
of  Miletus  places  Magdolo  12  ms.  S.  of  Pelusium. 

MIG'RON  (precipica).  Near  Saul's  city  (1  Sam. 
xiv.  2),  where  there  was  a  pomegranate  tree,  under 
which  Saul  and  the  remnant  of  his  host  "tarried" 
while  Jonathan  went  on  his  famous  exploit  against 
the  Philistines.  Isaiah  (x.  2S)  names  it  in  the 
list  of  places  passed  by  Sennacherib,  on  the  S. 
side  of  the  Wady  Suweinit.  Whether  it  was  a  rock 
or  a  town  is  not  known. 

MIJ'AMIN.  1.  Chief  of  the  6th  course  of  priests

MILE.  Tlie  Roman  measure  of  a  mile  was  equal 
to  1618  English  yards.  (The  English  is  1760  yds.). 
"Togo  a  mile"  (Matt.  v.  41).  "The  Jewish  mile 
was  of  two  kinds,  long  or  short,  according  to  the 
length  of  pace.  The  Roman  measurement  was 
ultimately  introduced  into  Palestine. 

MILE'TUS.  Seaport  and  the  ancient  capital  of 
Ionia,  Asia  Minor,  36  ms.  S.  of  Ephesus.  The 
presbyters  of  the  Church  of  Ephesus  met  Paul  at 
this  place  on  his  return  from  his  third  missionary 
journey  (Acts  xx.  6).  Several  men  of  renown 
were  born  here — Democritus  (460  B.  C),  Anax- 
imenes  (504),  Hecataeus,  Anaximander  (611), 
Thales  (639),  and  Timotheus.  There  were  four 
harbors,  one  of  which  would  hold  a  fleet.  The 
oracle  of  its  famous  temple  of  Apollo  was  con- 
sidted  as  late  as  the  4th  century.  Christian  bishops 
of  Miletus  were  present  at  several  councils  from 
the  5th  to  the  8th  centurips.  It  is  now  a  ruin  called 
Melas,  near  the  mouth  of  the  river  Meander.  The 
sea  has  receded  from  the  site  several  miles. 

MILK.  There  are  two  Hebrew  terms  for  milk,  one 
(cheleb)  ,  meaning_/n«^  milk,  the  other  (chemah) 
curdled.  B(jtli  are  frecpiently  used  in  Scripture; 
fresh  milk  is  figuratively  used  to  mean  abund- 
ance (Gen.  xlix.  12;  Ez.  xxv.  4;  Joel  iii.  18,  etc.). 
It -is  often  mentioned  with  honey,  as  a  "land 
flowing  with  milk  and  honey,"  applied  to  describe 
Egypt  as  well  as  Palestine  (Num.  xvi.  13).  As  a 
term  of  simplicity  it  occurs  in  1  Cor.  iii.  2;  Heb.  v. 
12,  13;  1.  Pet.  ii.  3;  Is.  Iv.  1).  The  milk  was  from 
goats,  cows,  sheep  and  camels  (Prov.  xxvii.  27; 
Dent,  xxxii.  14).  "Thirty  milch  camels"  were 
given  by  Jacob  to  Esau  (Ge'n.  xxxii.  15).  The  word 
butter  used  in  the  A.  V.  generally  means  curdled 
milk  (Gen.  xviii.  8;  Judg.  v.  25).  The  meaning 
in  Deut.  xxxii.  14  and  Prov.  xxx.  .33  is  butter.  The 
plan  of  preparation  of  butter  by  the  Hebrews  was 
probably  the  same  as  that  now  in  use  in  tlie  East. 
The  milk,  mixed  with  a  little  sour  milk,  is  heated 
over  a  slow  fire,  in  a  fop])er  pan.  Tlie  separated 
milk  is  put  into  a  goatskin,  which  is  tied  to  a  stake 
or  tent  pole,  and  shaken  until  the  butter  comes. 
The  water  is  pressed  from  this  Viutter  and  it  is  put 
into  another  skin.  After  two  days  tlie  butter  is 
returned  to  the  fire,  wheat,  boiled  with  leaven,  be- 
ing added — the  whole  is  boiled  and  then  skimmed, 
the  butter  remaining  on  the  top,  foreign  matter 
being  precipitated,  Mcrgoul  or  wheat  and  leaven.

MILL

MIRACLES 


MILL  (rechaim,  the  two  millstones,  Ex.  xi.  5); 
also  in  tlio  preparation  of  manna  tor  food  in  Num. 
xi.  8.  Tlie  ordinary  mill  was  a  hou.seliold  machine  of 
two  st(mes  two  feet  in  diameter  and  six  inches 
thick,  tlie  lower  one  hollowed  out  a  little,  and  the 
upper  fitted  to  it,  and  turned  from  ri,t?lit  to  left 
around  by  a  wooden  handle.  This  is  the  w-ork  of 
women  or  slaves.  Captives  (as  Samson)  were 
often  forced  to  grind  (Jiulg.  xvi.  -'!);  but  more 
Reneraily  women  were  thus  employed,  as  in  Ex 
xi.  5  and  Matt.  xxiv.  41.  The  use  of  the  mill  in 
each  household  was  incessant,  so  that  when  the 
mill  was  not  working  it  was  a  sign  of  desolation 
(Jer.  XXV.  10;  l\ev.  xviii.  22;  Eccles.  xii.  3,  4).  So 
necessary  to  the  daily  subsistence  was  the  use  of 
the  mill'  that  there  was  a  law  against  pledging 
either  of  the  stones  (Deut.  xxiv.  tj).  In  the  East, 
to  this  day,  these  hand-mills  are  seen  worked  by 
two  women.  There  are  mills  on  nearly  every  run- 
ning stream,  with  the  most  primitive  machinery, 
where  the  wheels  are  fitted  with  wooden  pins  for 
cogs.  Otlier  mills  are  turned  by  animals.  Mill- 
stone is  used  figuratively,  as  in  Matt,  xviii.  6;  Job 
xli.  24;  Mark  ix.  24;  Luke  xvii.  2.    See  Mortar. 

MIL'LET  (dochan).  Mentioned  only  in  Ez.  iv. 
9.  There  was  the  "common  millet"  {Puniaum 
Miliiirum),  and  the  "  Turki-sh  millet."  It  was 
probably  the  latter.  Millet  produced  a  bread  of 
inferior  (luality. 

MIL'LO  ( fulnrss).  An  ancient  Jebusite  name  of 
a  part  of  the  citadel  of  Jerusalem  (2  Sam.  v.  9). 
Solomon  raised  a  levy  to  build  or  enlarge  this 
work  (and  others,  1  K.  ix.  15).  Ilezekiah  re- 
paired Millo,  tha  City  of  Da>yid  (2  Chr.  xxxii.  5). 
The  House  ok  Millo  was  a  chiei  clau  of  Shechem 
(Judg.  ix.  6,  20).  King  Joash  was  murdered  by 
his  slaves  at  "the  house  of  Millo  that  goeth  do^vIl 
to  Silla"  (2  K.  xii.  20),  which  is  supposed  to  have 
been  the  place  mentioned  first. 

MI  NA  (Luke  xix.  13). 

MIN  CING  (Heb.  tafop).  Short,  quick  step;  re- 
fers to  an  affectation  of  gait  (Is.  iii.  16). 

MINES.  Mining.  (See  Metals).  The  an- 
cients were  skilful  miners,  and  their  operations  are 
alluded  to  by  Job  (xxviii.  1-11).  Evidences  re- 
main of  Egyptian  copper  mining  in  the  Sinai 
desert.  Palestine  produced  iron  and  copper.  The 
Phoenicians  brought  tin  from  Spain,  and  possibly 
Cornwall,  in  England.  There  were  lead  mines 
bordering  the  coast  of  the  Red  Sea.  Iron  mining 
is  referred  to  in  Deut.  iv.  20.  See  cut,  p.  122.  Sil- 
versmith. 

MINGLED  PEOPLE  (Heb.  haereb).  Mixed

me  a  minstrel;"  and  in  Matt.  xix.  2.3,  "  When  Jesus 
saw  the  minstrel."    The  Hebrew  in  the  first  text 


means  a  player  upon  a  stringed  instrument,  as 
David  was  (1  Sam.  xvi.  23;  also  1  Sam.  x.  5).  In

tris)  is  common  in  Syria.  Mint  is  only  mentioned 
in  Matt,  xxiii.  23,  and  lAike  xi.  42,  as  a  tithe.  Pro- 
bably the  horse-miiiL  {Mentha  xyicinstris).

MIRACLES.  Two  Hebrew  words,  OTH,  sign,  and 
MOFETH,  wonder,  (plural  niflaoth,  wonders), 
and  three  Greek  words,  terata,  wonders;  semeia, 
signs;  dunameis,  powers,  mighty  works,  are  trans- 
lated miracles.  None  of  these  words  imply  super- 
natural power,  or  religious  purpose,  because  thos« 
points  are  always  left  to  be  inferred  from  the 
simple  narrative  of  the  event,  for  many  wonderful 
events  are  recorded  which  were  not  supernatural, 
as  in  the  case  of  Isaiah  who  walked  naked  and 
barefoot  for  three  years,  for  a  sign  (Is.  xx.  3). 
Natural  and  common  events  may  be  used  for  signs, 
and  do  indicate  the  miracle  if  they  were  predicted. 

The  meaning  of  miracle  in  our  day  is  a  work  or 
sign  that  is  above  and  beyond  nature.  A  miracle 
may  be  defined  as  a  violation  of  a  law  of  nature 
by  a  particular  volition  of  the  Deity,  or  by  the 
interposition  of  some  visible  agent.  This  is  not 
quite  correct,  for  the  miracle  is  the  result  of  a  new 
power,  or  new  law,  which  produces  effects  not 
included  in  our  ordinary  experience.  It  is  simply 
one  law  operating  on  another  so  far  as  to  neutral- 
ize it,  and  produce  unexpected  results. 

In  the  case  of  healing  sickness,  the  word,  or 
touch,  or  gesture,  is  the  prediction  of  the  cure,  and 
the  supernatural  is  seen  in  the  prediction,  or  see- 
ing before  time  what  will  come  to  pass.  The  pre- 
diction and  the  fulfilment  may  occur  near  together, 
or  at  a  great  length  of  time  apart,  and  two  sets  of 
independent  witnesses  depose  to  the  prediction  and 
the  fulfilment,  leaving  no  room  for  doubt  or  fraud. 

Viewed  as  mere  wonderful  events  for  man's 
astonishment  miracles  are  highly  improbable  oc- 
currences, but  considered  as  signs  of  a  moral  and 
religious  revelation,  and  witnesses  or  evidences 
of  the  commission  of  the  teachers  of  religion  to 
instruct  and  inform  mankind,  they  are  no  longer 
improbable,  but  are  signs  of  the  presence  of  God 
in  action. 

The  prediction  of  an  eclipse  appears  supernatu- 
ral to  the  ignorant  savage  who  is  not  aware  that 
the  laws  of  the  motions  of  the  heavenly  bodies  are 
known  and  can  be  calculated  precisely;  to  the 
scholar  it  is  no  wonder,  for  he  can  either  compute 
the  exact  time  for  him.self,  or  can  understand  by 
what  means  another  can  do  it.  The  means  are 
natural,  the  foreknowledge  is  also  within  the  prov- 
ince of  nature.  If  we  could  be  elevated  to  a 
spiritual  plane  where  we  should  be  able  to  see  the 
powers  which  move  and  control  the  human  frame, 
we  should  be  able  to  see  how  Peter  cured  the  lame

man,  or  Jesus  healed  the  blind,  and  should  no 
longer  wonder,  for  we  should  recognize  the  source 
of  the  power  as  God  himself  manifested  in  Jesus. 
We  should  only  recognize  the  source,  not  see  the 
means,  except  that  we  should  see  the  result,  and 
the  agent,  for  God  cannot  be  seen  and  followed 
by  us. 

The  miracles  of  Jesus  were  a  necessary  part  of 
his  mission,  and  formed  an  integral  part  of  his 
teaching,  and  were  therefore  more  than  mere  signs 
or  specimens  of  the  presence  of  God,  and  more 
than  mere  proofs  of  a  divine  commission.  The 
life  and  teaching  of  Jesus  form  one  column  or  set 
of  columns,  and  his  miracles  another,  on  which 
rest  the  roof  and  dome  of  the  church. 

The  mission  of  the  Christ  was  to  teach  and 
redeem  mankind ;  to  tell  them  what  to  believe, 
and  how  to  be  saved,  and  to  be  himself  the  author 
of  their  salvation,  the  worker  of  a  new  creation. 
The  Christ  was  God  in  the  flesh,  and  Christianity 
is  God  in  action,  made  known,  or  communicated 
to  man,  so  that  we  are  partakers  of  the  divine 
nature,  through  faith  in  Christ. 

Tlio  miracles  of  the  Old  Testament  are  nearly 
all  found  in  two  groups,  being  almost  wholly 
absent  from  other  periods  in  the  track  of  the  Jev/- 
ish  history;  and  Moses  and  Elijah  are  the  two 
central  figures,  who  are  the  impersonations  of  the 
law  and  the  prophets.  One  of  the  evidences  of 
the  truth  of  the  Bible  history  is  that  there  are  no 
miracles  ascribed  to  many  of  the  prominent  char- 
acters, not  even  such  as  David,  Solomon,  or  Abra- 
ham. The  period  of  over  400  years  from  Malachi 
to  Christ  are  without  any  authentic  record  of  a 
miracle. 

The  Old  Testament  miracles  are  nearly  all  of 
power,  and  were  wrought  for  the  destruction  of 
the  enemies  of  the  Hebrew  Church  or  the  preserva- 
tion of  its  members.  A  few  were  works  of  mercy 
also,  as  of  Elijah's  restoration  of  the  widow's  son. 

The  miracles  of  Christ  were  both  of  power  and 
love.  (See  Jesus.)  The  miracle  attested  by  eye 
witnesses  and  the  teaching  of  Christ  were  the 
foundation  of  the  Christian  religion,  which  still 
remains  the  belief  of  a  large  part  of  the  enlight- 
ened sections  of  the  world. 

Miracles  ceased  wheii  the  Christian  Church  was 
established.  The  ecclesiastical  miracles  of  the 
ages  since  the  Apostles  are  totally  different  in 
purpose  and  kind  from  those  recorded  in  the 
Scriptures,  and  very  closely  resemble  the  legend- 
ary inventions  with  which  Pagans  in  all  ages  have 
amused  or  astonished  and  imposed  on  mankind. 
The  accounts  of  the  miracles  are  always  simple 
and  direct,  without  attempt  to  explain,  or  even  a 
notice  of  the  wonderful  character  of  the  event. 
The  reports  of  modern  "miracles"  are  so  minute 
as  to  suggest  the  novel  or  fable. 

MIR'IAM  (bitter).  Sister  of  Moses,  who  it  is 
supposed  watched  her  infant  brother  when  he  was 
exposed  in  the  Nile  (Ex.  ii.  4).  Upon  the  flight  of 
the  Israelites  from  Egypt,  Miriam  is  called  pro- 
phetess (Ex.  XV.  20),  where  she  celebrates  the  pas- 
sage of  the  Red  Sea  with  music.  The  arrival  of 
Zipporah,  Moses'  Ethiopian  wife,  excited  the 
enmity  of  Miriam,  who  incited  Aaron  to  sedition 
(Num.  xii.);  for  tliis  conduct  Miriam  was  stricken 
with  leprosy,  and  was  recovered  by  tlie  intercession 
of  Moses.  She  died  in  the  1st  month  of  the  40th 
year  after  the  Exodus,  at  Kadesh-Barnea  (Num. 
XX.  1).    See  Exodus,  History  of  the  Books.

from  its  fine  buildings.  It  was  a  free  city  in  Paul's 
time.  It  is  a  city  now,  and  gives  its  name  to  the 
whole  island. 

MIXED  MULTITUDE  (a  medley  of  people).  Men- 
tioned as  amongst  the  Israelites  in  their  journey 
from  Rameses  to  Succotii  (Ex.  xii.  38).  See  Num. 
xi.  4.  In  the  return  from  the  Babylonish  Captivitv, 
mixed  multitude  refers  to  Arabians  (Neh.  xii.  4), 
which  is  probably  the  meaning  in  the  other  refer- 
ences.

Samuel  (1  Sam.  vii.);  and  again  to  elect  Saul  king 
(X.):  the  city  of  Gibeon  was  about  1  m.  N.  of  tlie 
hill ;  and  i)orhaps  on  this  very  hight  Solomon  of- 
fered sacnlico,  and  was  endowed  with  wisdom  (1  K. 
iii.  4).  It  was  lortilird  by  Asa,  wlio  toolc  the  ma- 
terials from  Kamah,  3  ms.  N.  E.  Gedaliah,  Nebu- 
chadnezzar's governor,  lived  here  when  he  was 
killed  by  the  fanatic  Islnnael  (Jer.  xl.  7,  6).  After 
the  destruction  of  the  Temple  it  was  held  as  a  holy 
place,  where  sacrifice  was  made  (xli.  5)  in  a  house 
of  the  Lord.  This  character  continued  as  late  as 
the  time  of  the  Maccabees  (1  Mace.  iii.  40).  There 
is  a  village  and  a  mosque  (formerly  a  church)  on 
the  summit  of  Jf'-Oy  Sainwil.  The  hill  rises  steeply 
600  ft.  above  the  plain,  and  commands  a  very  ex- 
tensive view,  especially  E.,  as  far  as  Kerak,  in 
Moab,  and  \V.  to  the  Mediterranean.— 6.  Mizpeh 
OF  Moab  (1  Sam.  xxii.  3).  Whore  David  sought 
an  asylum  for  his  father  and  mother,  with  the  king 
of  Moab  (among  the  relatives  of  i;utli?). 

MIZ  EAIM  {the  two  Eoypta).  Egypt  ((^en.  x.  6). 
This  name  (not  of  a  man  but  of  a  country)  repre- 
sents a  centre  from  which  colonies  went  out  from 
the  remotest  antiquity.  Egypt  is  now  called  Miar 
in  Arabic.    See  Egypt. 

MIZ  ZAH  (Jear).  Son  of  Eeuel  (Gen.  xxxvi.  13, 
17). 

HNA'SON  (^remembsrinQ).  An  old  disciple,  a  re- 
sident of  Jerusalem,  and  a  native  of  Cyprus  (Acts 
iv.  3(3,  xxi.  16) . 

MO'AB  (fromfathv).  Son  of  Lot,  and  founder 
of  a  tribe, 'located  E.  of  the  Dead  Sea  (Gen.  xix. 
37),  in  the  district  once  occupied  by  the  Emims 
(Gen.  xiv.  5;  Deut.  ii.  11).  Zoar,  the  city  of  this 
tribe,  was  most  probably  jST.  E.  of  the  Dead  Sea, 
from  which  the  Amoritcs  drove  them,  and  which 
was  given  to  Reuben.  The  whole  region  is  undu- 
lating, without  any  high  ridges  or  sudden  hills,  ex- 
cept near  the  Dead  Sea  and  Jordan,  is  covered  with 
sites  of  ruined  towns,  on  every  hill  or  other  conve- 
nient place,  and  its  soil  is  rich.  The  country  must, 
wlien  prosperous,  have  presented  a  scene  of  plenty 
and  happiness  scarcely  equalled.  The  Roman  roads 
have  not  entirely  disappeared,  on  which  there  are 
still  milestones  of  the  time  of  Trajan,  Marcus  Au- 
relius,  and  Severus,  with  the  numbers  yet  readable. 
The  argument  in  favor  of  the  truth  of  prophesy 
receives  great  strength  from  the  consideration  of 
the  past  and  present  condition  of  Moab,  especially 
when  it  is  known  that  the  prophets  spoke  at  the 
time  of  its  greatest  prosperity  (Is.  xv.,  xvi.,  xxv., 
B.  G.  720 ;  Jer.  xlviii.,  B.  C.  GOO),  12  yrs.  before  the 
invasion  of  Nebuchadnezzar  (xxvii.  3);  and  the 
country  was  promised  to  the  Arabs  of  the  east 
(Beda wins),  who  now  occupy  it  (Ez.  xxv.  8-11). 
Sanballat,  the  Moabite  (Iloronite),  was  a  chief 
among  those  who  laughed  the  Jews  to  scorn,  after 
their  return  from  captivity,  and  wdien  they  at- 
tempted to  rebuild  the  walls  of  Jerusalem  (Xeh.  ii. 
19).  Manasseh,  a  son  of  Joiada,  the  high-priest, 
married  his  daughter  (xiii.  28),  and  became  high- 
priest  of  the  Samaritans  in  the  temple  built  by  liis 
father-in-law  on  Mt.  Gerizim  (Josephus).  The 
Moabites  probably  had  a  national  record  of  events, 
from  which  the  account  of  Balak  and  Balaam 
(Xum.  xxii.-xxiv.)  was  borrowed.  Of  Mesha,  a 
king  of  Moab,  an  interesting  relic  has  this  [1870] 
year  been  found  by  the  Palestine  Exploration  (see 
Kir  IIaresh). 

MOABITE.    Descendant  of  Moab  (Deut.  ii.  9). 

MO  ABITESS.    A  female  of  Moab  (Faith  i.  22). 

MOADI'AH  (festival  of  Jr'h).  One  who  returned 
from  captivity  (Noli.  xii.  17). 

MOCH'MTTE  (foaminr/).  Probably  the  TTady 
Ahmur. 

MO 'DIN.  The  native  city  of  the  Maccabees, 
who  were  of  the  race  of  tlie  priests  (1  Mace.  ii. 
1,  xiii.  25),  whore  their  ancestral  sepulchre  was 


located  (Jos.  Ant.  xiii.  6,  6;  1  Mace.  xiii.  27-30,  ii. 
70;  ix.  lit).  Here  tlie  resistance  to  Antioch  was 
begun  by  Mattatliias;  and  here  the  Jewish  armies 
encamped  on  the  eve  of  two  of  their  most  noted 
victories — that  of  Simon  over  Cendebseus  (I  Mace, 
xvi.  4),  and  tliat  of  Judas  over  Eupator  (2  Mace, 
xiii.  14).  The  site  of  ilodin  is  located  at  Latrun, 
on  the  road  from  Jerusalem  to  Ranileh,  12  miles 
from  the  former,  where  there  are  ancient  remains 
of  huportance  (Iiob.). 

MO'ETH.    Son  of  Sabban  (Ezr.  viii.  33). 

MO'LADAH.  South,  in  Judah  (Josh.  xv.  26); 
given  to  Simeon.  Rcoccupicd  after  the  Captivity 
(Nell.  xi.  26).  nerod  retired  to  a  tower  in  Mala- 
tlia  of  Idumsea  (Josephusj.  iv7  J/i7/i  is  a  ruin  of 
great  extent,  with  two  large  wells,  and  is  on  the 
regular  road  from  Petra  to  Hebron. 

MOLE  (TiNSHEJrETH).  Mentioned  in  Lev.  xi. 
18,  as  the  name  of  a  bird  (sican)  or  in  Lev.  xi.  30, 
as  male — amongst  "creeping  things"  that  are  un- 
clean. Probably  a  chameleon  on  a  general  allusion. 
In  Is.  ii.  20  it  is  more  likely  to  mean  a  mole 
(CHCFOR  pi;roth). 

MOLECH  (MELEK,  kinfj).  The  chief  god  of  the 
Phcenicians — mentioned  as  the  god  of  the  Am- 
monites. Probably  known  to  the  Israelites  before 
the  time  of  Solomon.  Human  sacrifices  (infants) 
were  otTered  up  to  this  idol,  the  victims  being 
slowly  burnt  to  death  in  the  arms  of  tlie  idol,  which 
were  of  metel,  hollow,  and  could  be  heated  on  the 
inside.  Manasseh  sacrificed  his  son  to  Moleeh.  Sol- 
omon erected  an  altar  to  this  god  on  one  of  the 
summits  of  Mount  Olivet  (see  Jerusalem,  p.  83), 
described  in  1  Kings  xi.  7.  This  idol  worship  be- 
ing continued,  both  there  and  in  Tophet,  until 
Josiah  abolished  it  and  defiled  the  altars  (2  Kings 
xxiii.  10,  13).  His  son  Jehoahaz  revived  this  wor- 
ship (2  Kings  xxiii.  32).  Moleeh  was  worshiped 
by  the  Phoenician  colonies,  as  at  Carthage,  wliere 
there  were  at  one  time  sacrificed  200  boys,  believ- 
ing this  would  rell>eve  the  city  from  a  siege.  See 
Phglnicia.

MOWEY.  The  most  ancient  notices  of  money 
refer  to  certain  weights  of  precious  metals,  but  not 
to  coins.  The  first  mention  of  wealth  in  the  Bible 
is  of  the  wealth  of  Abraham  when  he  left  E^ypt  to 
return  to  Canaan;  and  of  the  1000  pieces  of  silver 
that  the  Abimclech  gave  Abraham  for  Sarah's  use 
(Gen.  xiii.  2,  xx.  IG),  unless  Job  lived  before  his 
time,  when  the  "kesitah  and  ring  of  gold,"  which 
each  of  his  friends  gave  him  after  his  recovery, 
would  belong  to  an  earlier  age.

MONEY 


206 


MOON 


Abraham  bought  the  cave  of  Machpelah  and 
weighed  to  Ephron  400  shekels  of  silver,  current 
with  the  merchant  (xxhi.  6).  Jacob  paid  100  kes- 
itahs  for  a  field  at  Shalem;  Achan  stole  200  shekels 
of  silver,  and  a  tongue  of  gold  weighing  60  shekels 
(Josh,  vii.)- 

Jewels  in  the  East  have  in  all  ages  been  a  con- 
venient and  recognized  means  of  keeping  property, 
the  precious  metals  being  always  weighed,  as  in 
the  case  of  the  presents  to  Eebekah  (Gen.  xxiv. 
22).  Egyptian  (and  perhaps  also  other)  money 
was  made  into  rings,  for  convenience,  as  when  the 
sons  of  Jacob  carried  bundles  of  money  of  certain 
weight  to  Egypt  to  buy  corn  (xlii.  35,  xliii.  21). 
The  Midianites  were  "spoiled"  of  jewels  of  gold, 
cliains  and  bracelets,  rings,  ear-rings,  and  tablets, 
of  16,750  shekels'  weight. 

Jehoiada  "took  a  chest,  and  bored  a  hole  in  the 
lid  of  it,  and  set  it  beside  the  altar,  on  the  riglit 
side,  and  the  priests  put  therein  all  the  money  " 
(2  K.  xii.  9.)  This  is  the  first  mention  of  a  con- 
tribution box,  850  B.  C.  These  small  pieces  may 
have  been  coins. 

Saul's  servants  said  that  they  had  only  the  fourth 
part  of  a  shekel  to  give  the  prophet,  and  it  seems 
to  have  been  customary  to  give  more  (1  Sam.  ix. 
8).  A  half-shekel  was  the  yearly  temple  dues 
(Ex.  XXX.  13,  15). 


HALF-gHEKEL. 


The  credit  for  making  the  first  coins,  is  given  to 
the  Lydians,  Asia  Minor,  by  Herodotus  (i.  94), 
which  were  of  gold;  and  to  Pliidra  of  Argos,  in  the 
island  of  ^gina,  860  B.  C,  of  silver,  by  the  Parian 
chronicle  (a  series  of  inscriptions,  or  records,  on 
marble,  dated  200  B.  C). 

The  earliest  coins  used  in  Palestine  were  Persian, 
and  called  Daric  {king' s  vioncti ,  from  Darius),  450 
B.  C.  (Ezr.  ii.  69;  Neh.  vu.  70;  1  Chr.  xxix.  7). 
(See  cut  on  page  70).  The  stater  (standard)  was 
another  Persian  coin,  of  silver  and  of  gold,  and 
also  the  siglos  (Greek  for  shekel?). 

There  are  still  to  be  found  in  the  museums  of 
Paris,  Gotha,  London,  and  in  some  private  collec- 
tions, coins  of  Sardis  (see  cut  on  page  125),  Scytho- 
f)olis  (Bethshan),  Joppa,  Tarsus,  Sycamina,  Asca- 
011,  Ephesus,  Philadelphia,  and  several  other  cities 
of  Palestine,  of  the  date  of  Alexander,  350  B.  C. 

Antiochus  VII,  139  B.  C.  granted  the  privilege 
of  coining  money  among  the  Jews  to  Simon  Mac- 
cabreus,  and  the  various  pieces  are  dated  "In  the 
first,  or  second,  year  of  Simon  (see  cut  on  page  121), 
benefactor  of  the  Jews,  High-Priest"  (1  Mace, 
xlii.  34,  42;  Ant.  xiii.  6).  The  date  was  always 
given  in  letters.  (See  Number)  .  Some  coins  have 
"  ethnarch."  There  are  some  shekels  with  the  in- 
scription SHEKEL  HAKODESH,  shekel  of  the  Sanc- 
tuary, that  is  the  Temple. 

Eleazar,  son  of  Simon,  struck  coins  both  of  sil- 
ver and  bronze  (see  cut  on  page  77).  Jehonathan, 
high-priest,  struck  coins,  B.  C.  105-78,  of  which 
some  are  still  extant. 

The  money  of  Herod  is  less  interesting,  because 
of  its  Greek  character,  and  being  of  bronze  only. 
The  farthing  of  the  New  Testament  was  the  small- 
est of  Herod's  coins,  unless  the  mite  was  smaller. 
The  text  in  Mark  xii.  42,  is  explain :^d,  "she  threw 
inUwo  Icptra,  (mites)  which  is  aquadrans"  (farth- 
ing), (see  pace  103),  as  though  we  should  say  two 
mills,  which  are  a  quarter  of  a  cent  (nearly).  Such 
very  small  coins  are  often  found  buried,  with 
others,  among  the  ancient  ruins  of  Palestine.  The 


modem  Arabs  also  use  small  pieces  which  look  very 
much  like  fish  scales,  in  size  and  thickness. 

The  coin  which  Peter  found  in  the  mouth  of  the 
fish,  was  probably  the  stater,  or  tetradrachm,  the 
only  Greek  silver  coin  in  use  at  that  time,  equal  in 
value  to  the  shekel,  which  was  not  then  coined, 
or  in  use,  unless  for  Temple  dues  (see  pages  13  and 
18  for  cuts  of  tetradrachm).  The  tribute  money 
(Matt.  xxii.  15-21)  bore  the  head  of  a  Ceesar,  Ti- 
berius or  some  earlier  one,  and  was  a  day's  wages 
of  a  soldier,  and  such  as  was  paid  the  laborers  in 
the  vineyard  (Matt,  xviii.  28,  xx.  2,  9,  13,  xxii.  19; 
Mark  vi.  37,  xii.  15,  xiv.  6;  Luke  vii.  41,  x.  35,  xx. 
24;  .Mm  vi.  7,  xii.  15;  Rev.  vi.  6). 

The  piece  of  money  paid  Judas  is  represented 
by  the  tetradrachm  of  Antiochus  III  (cut  on  page 
168),  which  was  equal  to  the  shekel.  As  there  were 
money-changers  in  the  Temple,  who  changed  Gen- 
tile coins  for  the  Temple  money  (shekel  of  the 
sanctuary),  the  thirty  pieces  may  have  been  Jew- 
ish shekels  of  Simon  or  Eleazar  (pages  77,  121). 

The  last  coins  struck  by  tlie  Jews  are  those  of 
Barkokab,  A.  D.  130,  (This  is  doubted  by  some 
numismatists) , 

The  Romans  struck  several  coins  and  medals 
in  memory  of  the  fall  of  Jerusalem,  one  of  which 
is  given  on  page  78.  Herod  Agrippa  also  gives  a 
head  of  Titus,  when  Emperor,  on  one  of  his  coins. 
The  Aretas  who  ruled  Damascus  when  Paul  was 
there  struck  coins,  one  of  which  is  now  well 
known.  The  coin  of  Ephesus  bears  a  model  of 
the  temple  of  Diana,  and  a  head  of  Nero. 

There  is  a  curious  medal  with  a  head  of  Christ 
on  a  cross,  which  was  found  at  Urfa,  Syria  (by 
Rev.  G.  B.  Nutting,  missionary,  who  loaned  it  to 
me) ,  and  is  engraved  on  page  40.  It  is  very  an- 
cient, but  cannot  be  dated,  except  that  it  is  proba- 
bly later  than  the  time  of  Constantine. 

A  coin  if  genuine  is  often  the  very  best  evidence 
concerning  ancient  persons  and  places,  which  can- 
not be  denied  or  explained  away.  Even  if  they 
were  forged,  in  some  age  near  the  true  date,  they 
have  still  a  value  according  to  their  antiquity.  It 
is  often  found  that  ancient  records  are  confirmed 
by  coins,  as  for  instance  in  the  case  of  the  port  of 
Cenchroea,  where  the  coin  of  Corinth  explains  the 
text.    See  page  143. 

The  frequent  allusions  to  burying  money  and 
treasure  was  confirmed  as  true  records  a  tew  years 
ago  by  the  discovery  of  some  earthen  jars  in  a 
garden  at  Sidon,  containing  nearly  8000  pieces  of 
gold,  the  coinage  of  Philip  of  Macedon,  and  Al- 
exander, his  son.  There  were  no  banks  or 
places  of  secure  deposit,  and  the  only  safety  was 
in  burying  money  or  treasure  in  some  secret  place, 
as  alluded  to  inProv.  ii.  4;  and  also  in  Jer.  xii.  8, 
where  the  treasures  hid  were  produced. 

MONTH  (HODE8H  or  chodesh,  yeeah  or  ye- 
rach).  The  Hebrew  months  were  divided  into 
twenty-nine  and  thirty  days  alternately.  The 
period  of  New  Moon  marked  the  first  day  called 
New  Moon  day  or  New  Month.  (See  Chronol- 
ogy). The  months  were  numbered,  as  first, 
second;  and  also  named  in  the  calendar  (Gen.  vii. 
11;  2  Kings  xxv.  3;  Esth.  viii.  9).  The  Hebrew 
month  does  not  run  even  with  ours,  being  regu- 
lated by  the  moon,  and  having  about  29  days, 
while  ours  has  an  arbitrary  number  given  it,  vary- 
ing from  28  to  31  days. 

MONUMENT  (Is.  Ix-v.  4).  Various  terms  used, 
as  preserved  in  Is.  xlix.  6;  hiddm  (xlviii.  6);  be- 
sieged (i.  8,  and  Ez.  vi.  12).  It  is  a  general  refer- 
ence to  retired  places. 

MOON.  Three  names  of  the  moon  were  used  by 
the  Hebrews:  yareah,  paleness;  lebonah,  white; 
and  HODESH  (reneiDi/ig)  new  moon.  The  hodesh 
moon  was  the  means  of  reckoning  the  months  and 
fixing  the  feasts,  etc.  In  the  account  of  the  festi- 
vals it  appears  that  the  authorities  set  a  watch  on 
the  hills  about  Jerusalem,  who  looked  for  the  new

vnooii,  and  when  it  was  seen  they  were  to  report  to 
the  Sanhedrin.  (See  Nkw  Moon).  The  new 
inoon  reuuhited  the  month,  and  if  any  cloud  or 
oth 'r  cause  i)revented  the  discovery,  the  month 
would  vary  by  a  day. 

The  names  of  the  moon  in  the  account  of  the 
creation  were  framed  on  its  liyht-giviug  property 
anil  color. 

It  is  (and  was  anciently)  a  common  superstition 
in  Palestine  that  the  moon  has  a  powerful  effect 
on  both  animal  and  vegetable  life.  That  sleeping 
in  the  open  air,  exposed  to  the  light  of  the  moon, 
produces  serious  ills,  blindness  (Vs.  cxxi.  G),  etc. 
That  as  dew  fell  most  abundantly  on  clear  cool 
nights,  the  moon  was  the  cause  of  "its  falling;  and 
also  the  cause  of  all  fertility. 

The  moon  was  worshiped  (as  also  the  sun)  as  a 
power,  and  was  personified,  several  moon-god- 
desses being  recorded.  Some  nations  directly  ad- 
dresseil  the  moon  itself  in  their  ceremonies,  as  the 
Pelasgians,  Carthaginians,  Teutons,  Celts  and 
others  made  images  of  women  in  certain  drapery 
and  attitude,  called  by  the  Armenians,  Anaitis; 
by  the  Phoenicians,  Astarte  (Job  xxxi.  26;  2  K. 
xxiii.  13;  Jer  vii.  18;  viii.  2;  xix.  1-3;  xliv.  17-19). 
Queen  of  heaven;  Syrians,  Ashtoreth;  Babylonians, 
Sin;  Egyptians,  Isis  or  Neith;  Greeks,  Artemis; 
Romans,  Diana.  The  Chalda^ans  called  the  moon 
(and  the  woman-image)  Queen  of  ileaven.  See 
cut  on  page  127. 

The  worship  was  very  widely  kno'mi  and  prac- 
ticed, and  was  specially  denounced  by  Moses  (Dent, 
iv.  19;  xvii.  3),  but  in  spite  of  his  laws  it  was  in- 
troduced with  other  idolatries  by  Manasseh,  B. 
C.  <>9S.  Josiah  reformed  the  Church  in  his  day, 
but  not  permanently  (2  K.  xxiii.  5).  The  moon 
^\•as  worshiped  as  the  power  to  which  women  were 
peculiarly  subject;  and  women  offered  incense, 
drink-otferings  and  cakes,  and  by  the  kissing  of 
the  hand  towards  the  bright  orb. 

MOR  DECAI  {little  man),  (Esth.  ii.  iii.  iv.  v.). 
He  was  tiie  guardian  of  Estln^r,  who  was  selected 
to  succeed  Vashti  as  queen  of  Aliasuerus,  king  of 
Persia,  her  Jewish  descent  remaining  unknown  to 
the  king.  Mordecai,  who  was  an  officer  at  the 
court,  became  informed  of  a  plot  against  the  king's 
life;  this  he  communicated  to  Esther,  who  wanied 
the  king;  this  service,  however,  was,  at  the  time, 
unrewarded.  Haman  at  this  time  rose  into  favor 
and  the  highest  office  in  court;  he  was  an  Agagite, 
and  to  him  Mordecai  showed  no  reverence.  The 
anger  of  Haman  was  excited,  and  he  obtained  the 
king's  order  for  the  innnediate  massacre  of  all 
Jews  throughout  the  kingdom.  Esther  becoming 
informed,  through  Mordecai,  of  this  decree,  hast- 
ened, uncalled  for,  to  the  king's  presence,  and 
with  boldness  pleaded  the  cause  of  the  Jews. 
This,  together  with  the  memory  of  Mordecai 's 
previous  service,  recalled  by  the  reading  of  the  re- 
cords, determined  the  king  to  counteract  the  eliect 
of  the  order  (which  by  the  Persian  law  could  not 
be  recalled),  and  by  giving  the  Jews  facilities  for 
defense.  Mordecai  was  promoted  to  the  highest 
position,  and  Haman  was  ordered  to  be  executed 
upon  the  gibbet  he  had  prepared  for  Mordecai. 
Mordecai  used  his  influence  to  the  service  of  the 
Jews  with  wisdom  and  goodness.  See  Esther  in 
the  History  of  the  Books. 

MO'REH  (a  teacher).  The  Oak  of  Moreh  (not 
plain),  was  the  first  halting-place  of  Abram  in 
Canaan  (Gen.  xii.  6),  and  was  near  Shechem. 
(Land  of  Moriah  ?)  The  field  which  Jaeob  bought 
probably  included  this  sacred  grove.  The  name 
>rorthia  is  found  on  some  ancient  coins  as  a  title  of 
Xeopolis — Shechem.  Josephus  has  a  Mamortha, 
or  Mabortha,  which  he  says  was  a  locaj  name  (B. 
J.  v.  8,  1).  The  Hill  op  Moreh.  At  the  base 
of  this  hill  the  Midianites  encamped  on  the  night 
when  Gideon  attacked  them  with  his  300  (Judg.  I 


vii.  1).    Now  called  Little  Hermon  or  Jabel  ed 

l>ahy. 

MORESH'ETH  GATH  (pomssion  of  the  wine- 
prc»j(),  (Mieah  i.  14).  In  the  Shefehih,  near 
Lachish.  The  prophet  Mieah  was  a  native  of  a 
Moresheth,  but  whether  this  is  the  one  is  not 
certain. 


MORI'AH.  Found  only  In  two  passages— Gen. 
xxii.  2,  and  2  Chr.  iii.  1.  1.  The  Land  of  Mo- 
riah (Gen.  xxii.  2)  was  more  than  two  days' 
journey  from  Gerar,  where  Abram  then  lived 
(Beersheba  being  mentioned  just  before  and  just 
after  the  event  of  the  journey),  and  probably  in 
the  same  region  with  the  oak  of  Moreh,  Shechem. — 
2.  Mount  Moriah  would  in  that  case  be  Mt.  Geri- 
zim,  according  to  the  tradition  of  the  Samaritans; 
but  it  is  said,  in  2  Chr.  iii.  1,  that  Solomon  began 
to  build  the  house  of  the  Lord  at  Jerusah-m,  in 
Mount  Moriah.  There  must  have  been  two  moun- 
tains of  that  name,  or  the  one  at  Jerusalem  is  the 
only  one.  This  mount,  then,  has  witnessed  the 
offered  sacrifice  of  Isaac,  the  vision  of  God's  judg- 
ment and  mercy,  the  presence  of  His  Temple  and 
worship,  and  tlie  crucifixion. 

MOE'TAH  (medokah)  .  Mill  or  mortar,  in  which 
grain  vras  pounded  for  domestic  use  (?fum.  xi.  8). 
The  Arabs  use  the  same  simple  machine  now. 
They  were  made  of  stone  or  hard  wood.  (See 
Mill).  The  mortar  for  olives  (ktjttash)  Vias 
made  expressly  for  that  use,  of  a  heavy  stone 
roller  or  wheel,  which  rolled  around  in  a  cir- 
cular trough  or  tid),  of  stone  also,  moved  by  a 
long  handle  of  wood.  This  sqvieezed  or  bruised 
the  pulp,  but  did  not  crush  the  pits. 

MO'SERAH  {bond).  Station  in  the  Arabah,  near 
Mt.  Hor  (Dent.  x.  6).  Moseroth  (bonds),  in  Num. 
xxxiii.  30.  Wady  Mousa  is  supposed  to  be  a  rem- 
nant of  the  name  Moserah.  Aaron  died  while  the 
people  were  encamped  here. 

MO'SES  (mosheh,  drawn  out  of  the  water).  The 
son  of  Amram  and  Jochebed,  of  the  tribe  of  Levi. 
Aaron  was  his  brother,  and  Miriam  his  sister.  He 
was  saved  from  the  Pharaoh's  decree,  of  death  to 
all  male  infants  born  to  the  Hebrews,  by  being  laid 
in  an  ark  (boat;  of  papn'us  (A.  V.  bulrushes), 
and  left  among  the  reeils  near  the  Nile  bank, 
where  the  daughter  of  the  Pharaoh  was  in  the 
habit  of  bathing,  where  she  found  and  drew  him 
out  of  the  water.  He  was  educated  as  an  EgjT)tian 
in  the  priest's  college  at  Heliopolis,  and  was  proba- 
bly initiated  into  the  sacred  order  of  the  priests 
(Acts  vii.  22),  and  named  Osarsiph,  or  Tisithen 
(Strabo,  Ant.  ii.  9,  7).  It  is  probable,  also,  that 
he  became  acquainted  in  that  seat  of  learning  with 
Greek,  Chaldfean,  and  Assyrian  literature. 

The  great  importance  of  selecting  proper  nurses 
may  be  learned  from  the  history  of  Moses,  whose 
mother,  a  Hebrew  woman,  nursed  him,  although 
he  vras  brought  up  by  the  Egyptians;  and  when  he 
bt^came  of  age  he  chose  the  "religion  and  people  of 
his  own  race,  although  he  was  offered  a  place  in 
the  Pharaoh's  family  as  an  adopted  son. 

He  became  the  champion  of  his  people  from  the 
first,  and  showe*  his  compassion  for  their  suffer- 
ings by  killing  one  of  the  task-masters  who  was 
abusing  a  Hebrew.  Pharaoh  woidd  have  punished 
him  with  death  for  the  murder,  if  he  had  not  fled 
into  Arabia,  and  "sat  down  by  a  well"  in  the  land 
of  Midian,  where  his  first  act  was  to  defend  the

daughters  of  Keuel  (Jethro),  a  priest  of  Midian, 
against  their  oppressors,  the  shepherds.  (See  Mid- 
ian). He  became  a  shepherd  in  tlie  service  of 
Jethro,  and  married  Zipporah,  his  daugliter,  by 
whom  he  had  two  sons,  Gershom  and  Eliezer. 
During  the  seclusion  of  his  shepherd  hfe,  in  the 
valley'of  Shoayb  (or  Hobab),  he  received  a  divine 
commission  to  deUver  liis  people  Israel  from  the 
Egyptian  bondage,  and  at  the  same  time  the  divine 
name  Jehovah  (Heb.  yeheveh  =  self-existence), 
which  was  explained  to  him,  and  a  confirmation  of 
his  mission  in  the  three  miracles  of  the  burning 
bush,  the  serpent  rod,  and  the  leprous  hand.  Sup- 
ported by  his  brother  Aaron,  sustained  in  a  won- 
derful way  by  the  miracles  of  the  ten  plagues,  the 
last  of  which  was  the  most  terrible,  in  the  death 
of  the  first-born  in  all  Egypt,  Moses  led  out  the 
Israelites  to  the  E.  side  of  the  lied  Sea,  blessed 
with  liberty,  and  a  large  tribute  from  their  late 
oppressors. 

On  this  occasion  Moses  wrote  his  first  recorded 
poem  (Ex.  xv.).  His  sister  Miriam  also  sang  a 
song,  the  title,  or  subject  only,  of  which  is  known. 

Moses  was  at  this  time  80  years  old.  His  life 
during  the  next  40  years  is  a  part  of  the  history  of 
the  Israelites,  inseparable,  and  for  38  years  entirely 
unknown.  He  died  at  the  age  of  120,  and  was  not 
careful  of  his  memory,  leaving  no  monument  of 
stone  to  mark  his  grave,  which  is  unknown  (Deut. 
xxiv.). 

Moses  is  the  only  character  to  wtich  Jesus  com- 
pares himself,  as  a  revealer  of  a  new  name  of 
God,  and  the  founder  of  a  new  religious  faith,  as 
a  lawgiver,  and  as  a  prophet;  and  they  both  were 
misunderstood  in  their  office  as  peaconakers;  and 
the  death  of  Moses  suggests  the  ascension  of  Jesus 
(John  V.  46;  Heb.  iii.  xii.). 


DOOR   OF   A   TOMB. 

The  laws  framed  by  Moses  have  influenced  and 
even  eontvolled  tlu^  larger  part  of  civilized  man- 
kind since  his  time;  and  the  religion  which  he 
found  scattered  in  traditions  and  shaped  into  a 
beautiful  system  still  holds  millions  to  its  faith; 
while  its  successor,  Christianity,  claims  present 
hold  of  a  large  part  of  mankind,  and  promises  a 
universal  sway  in  the  future. 

Besides  the  song  on  the  passage  of  the  Ked  Sea, 
Moses  wrote  others,  of  which  only  fragments  have 
been  preserved. 

1.  A  war-song  against  Amalek  (Ex.  xvii.  16). 

"As  the  hand  is  on  the  throne  of  Jehovah, 
So  will  Jehovah  war  with  Amalek 
From  generation  to  generation." 

2.  On  the  revelries  at  the  calf- worship  at  Sinai 
(Ex.  xxxii.  18): 

"  Not  the  voice  of  them  that  shout  for  mastery, 
Nor  the  voice  of  them  that  cry  for  being  overcome, 
But  the  noise  of  them  that  sing,  do  I  hear." 

3.  The  songs  recorded  (and  lost)  in  the  Book  of 
the  Wars  of  the  Lord,  and  the  fragment  of  the 
Song  at  the  Well,  in  Moab. 

4.'  The  Song  of  Moses  in  Deut.  xxxii.  was  proba- 
bly written  in  Moab. 


5.  The  Blessing  on  the  Twelve  Tribes,  which 
contains  a  concise  statement  of  the  characteristics 
of  the  different  tribes. 

6.  The  90th  Psalm  (if  not  also  some  others  fol- 
lowing), is  a  sublime  view  of  the  eternity  of  God, 
v/hicli  he  describes  as  more  enduring  than  the 
"everlasting"  mountains. 

Moses  is  called  a  prophet  by  one  of  the  later 
prophets. 

The  word  translated  meeic,  in  Num.  xii.  3,  means 
disinterested,  which  describes  Moses  better.  He 
always  forgot  himself  when  the  good  of  his  people 
was  to  be  served.  Gave  up  his  position  in  Phara- 
oh's house;  avenged  his  people's  wrongs;  desired 
Aaron  to  take  the  lead;  wished  all  were  gifted  as  he 
was;  preferred  that  his  name  be  blotted  out  to  save 
his  people,  when  he  was  offered  the  promise  of 
Abraham;  not  his  sons,  but  Aaron's,  were  raised 
to  the  honor  of  priests,  nor  even  to  leaders,  for 
after  his  death  the  leadership  passed  to  Joshua,  of 
another  tribe;  and  although  he  earned  the  title  of 
the  father  of  his  people,  yet  they  were  never  called 
the  children  of  Moses  but  of  Abraham. 

MOSOL'LAM  (1  Esd.  ix.  14).     Meshullam. 

MOSOL  LAMON  (1  Esd.  viii.  44). 

MOTE  (a  twiff  or  mote).  The  emblem  of  lesser 
faults  (Iilatt.  vii.  3-5). 

MOTH  (Heb.  ash;  Gr.  ses).  A  destructive  insect. 
Nearly  every  instance  where  this  insect  is  men- 
tioned it  is  in  reference  to  its  destroying  garments 
(Job.  xih.  28). 

MOTHER  (Heb.  em;  Gr.  meter).  The  mother 
was  honored  and  esteemed  in  the  Hebrew  system, 
and  far  above  the  station  given  her  in  any  other 
system  of  the  age  (1  K.  ii'.  19;  Ex.  xx.  12;  Lev, 
xix.  3;  Deut.  v.  16;  Prov.  x.  1,  xv.  20,  xvii.  25, 
xxix.  15,  xxxi.  30).    See  Women. 

MOULD'Y  (Heb.  mikkudim),  (Josh.  ix.  5,  12). 

MOUNTAIN.  The  Hebrew  words  are,  har,  rar- 
er, or  HAEAR,  and  the  Chaldee,  tur;  which  are 
translated  mount,  mountain,  and  hill.  The  various 
parts  of  a  mountain  were  described  by  the  names 
of  parts  of  the  human  body:  1.  Head  (eosh, 
Gen.  viii.  5),  meaning  tops  or  summits. — 2.  Ears 
(aznoth,  Josh.  xix.  34);  projections  or  spurs. 
Uzzen  Sherah.  —  3.  Shoulder  (kathef,  Deut. 
xxxiii.  12),  meaning  side  or  slope. — 4.  Side  (zad, 

1  Sam.  xxiii.  26). — 5.  Loins  (kisloth.  Josh.  xix. 
12):    Ha-Cesulloth  (loins-village). — 6.  Pub  (zela, 

2  Sam.  xvi.  13). — 7.  Back  (shekem),  the  origin  of 
the  name  Shechem,  which  is  on  the  back  of  Ger- 
izim.— 8.  Thigh  (jaekah,  Judg.  xix.  1,  is).— 9. 
In  Chaldee  tiir  is  mountain,  and  this  is  borrowed 
in  the  modern  name  of  Olivet,  Jebel  et  Tur. 

MOUNTAIN  OF  THE  AMMONITES  (Deut.  i.  19, 
20).  On  the  plateau  of  Et  Tyh,  from  Jebel  Araif 
t>n-Nakah  to  Jebel  el  Mukrah,  but  also  extended 
in  lower  ranges  as  far  as  Hebron. 

MOURNING.  There  are  a  great  many  allusions 
to  mourning  in  the  Bible.  Its  customs  include : 
Beating  the  breast  and  body;  weeping  and  scream- 
ing in  an  excessive  manner;  wearing  dark-colored 
garments;  songs  and  shouts  of  lamentation;  funeral 
feasts;  hired  mourners;  the  disuse  of  perfumes,  oil, 
and  fine  food,  and  the  use  of  ashes,  and  coarse 
food  and  clothes.  The  time  of  mourning  lasted 
from  7  to  30  days.  Outward  expression  ol  sorrow  for 
the  dead,  and  "also  signs  of  repentance.  The  ear- 
liest notice  is  in  Jol)  (i.  20),  who,  on  hearing  of  the 
calamities  to  his  children,  "arose,  rent  his  mantle, 
shaved  his  head,  and  fell  down  upon  the  ground, 
and  worshiped,"  uttering  words  of  submission,  and 
sitting  down  in  the  ashes.  7  days  and  nights  the 
mournful  rites  were  prolonged,  with  the  use  of 
sack-cloth  and  dust.  On  his  recovery  the  friends 
held  a  kind  of  congratnintory  mourning  over  him 
for  his  past  sufferings  (xlji.  li) .  The  next  instance 
is  of  Abraham,  who  w(>pt  for  Sarah  (B.  C.  l.'-Tl).

xxiii.  2) .  The  time  usually  given  was  7  days  as  for 
Saul,  in  1  Sam.  xxxi.  13.  The  oak  under  which 
Deborah,  the  nurse  of  Kebekah,  was  buried  was 
called  Allan-bakuth,  oak  of  weeping.  The  in- 
stances of  mourning  and  weeping  are' very  many 
in  the  Scriptures,  in  all  the  ages.  The  Egyptians 
decreed  a  mourning  for  a  king  of  72  days  (llerodo- 
tus),  and  the  people  tore  their  garments,  closed  the 
temples,  forbid  sacrifices,  and  held  no  festivities, 
but  instead  they  wandered  through  the  streets, 
throwing  dust  on  their  heads,  singing  a  funeral 
dirge.  Ornaments  were  left  off  (Ex.  xxxiii.  4;  Joel 
ii.  16) :  but  the  Jews  were  forbidden  to  cut  their 
flesh,  as  the  pagans  did  (1  K.  xviii.  28;  Lev.  xix. 
28),  or  to  shave  the  eyebrows  or  hair.  The  priests 
were  denied  all  outward  signs  of  grief  (Lev.  x.  6, 
xxi.  1,  4,  11),  and  the  Nazarite  also  (Num.  vi.  7). 
The  mourning  ordered  by  David  for  Abner  was 
in  form,  with  all  the  required  rites,  ceremonies,  and 
processions.  David  also  wrote  an  elegy  and  lam- 
entation for  Abner  (2  Sam.  iii.  31,  35).  Elegies 
were  very  often  composed  for  the  dead  (Ez.  xxvi. 
1-18,  xxvii.  1-36;  Amos  v.  1,  etc.).  The  customs 
did  not  change  until  the  days  of  Christ,  when 
"many  of  the  Jews  came  to  comfort  Martha  and 
Mary"  (John  xi.  19):  "much  people"  were  with 
the  widow  of  Nain  (Luke  vii.  12).  Mourning  ap- 
parel is  mentioned  in  2  Sam.  xiv.  2;  ashes  were 
put  on  the  head,  and  oil  was  denied.  The  head 
was  shaved.  Mourning  women  were  hired,  and 
the  custom  is  still  in  use.  The  monuments  in  Egypt 
show  all  these  customs  in  actual  practice.  Itwas 
the  custom,  also,  to  give  food  to  the  mourners  at 
funerals.  The  cries  and  songs  used  are  peculiarly 
mournful  and  affecting.  Idolatrous  mourning  (for 
Tanimuz)  was  prohibited  (Ez.  viii.  14).  The 
most  singular  custom  of  wailing  every  week,  at  the 
wall  of  the  Temple  in  Jerusalem,  has  been  kept  up 
for  ages,  by  those  Jews  who  still  look  for  the 
Christ,  and  nope  for  the  deliverance  of  Zion. 

MOUSE  (AKBAR,  fielder avager).  An  unclean  ani- 
mal (Lev.  xi.  29),  forbidden  as  food.  Five  golden 
mice  were  made  for  a  trespass  offering  (1  Sam.  vi. 
4,  5).  It  is  not  known  what  they  were,  and  some 
think  jerboas  answer  the  meaning  of  the  original. 

MOTTTH  (peh).  Is  used  in  the  Scriptures  both 
literally  of  men  and  beasts  (Gen.  viii.  11). 

MOWING.  The  heat  of  the  climate  in  Pales- 
tine is  so  great  it  soon  dries  up  the  herbage  so  that 
hay-making  is  not  in  use  (Amos  vii.  1).  Grass  and 
green  grain  were  cut  for  immediate  use  (Ps. 
cxxix.  7;  Amos  vii.  1). 

MO'ZAH  (spring-head).  Benjamin  (Josh,  xviii. 
26),  near  Cephiran,  the  modern  Kefir. — 2.  Son  of 
Zimri,  and  in  the  line  of  Saul— Mephibosbeth— 
Micah  (1  Chr.  ix.  42). 

MTJF'FLEKS  (veils).  A  female  ornament  (Is. 
xii.  19). 

MTIL'BEailY  TREES  (baca,  bekaim).  It  is  not 
certain  that  mulberry  trees  are  meant  in  2  Sam.  v. 
23,  24;  1  Chr.  xiv.  14.  Some  think  it  was  a  species 
of  poplar.    See  cut  on  p.  88. 

MULE  (PERED,  mule;  rekese,  dromedary;  and 
YEMiM,  warm  sjyririgs;  are  all  translated  mule. 
First  mentioned  in  David's  time,  when  horses  be- 
came common,  and  they  appear  to  have  become 
favorites  all  at  once,  being  mentioned  in  hundreds 
(Xeh.  vii.  68).  The  king's  sons  rode  on  mules. 
The  law  forbid  the  Jews  from  raising  mules,  and 
they  either  imported  them  or  broke  the  law  (Lev. 
xix.  19).  Yemim,  warm  springs,  were  found  by 
Anah  (and  not  mules  as  in  Gen.  xxxvi.  24),  east 
of  the  Dead  Sea,  now  called  Machserus  or  Cal- 
lirrhoe. 

MUP'PIN  (sorrow).  A  descendant  of  Eachel 
(Gen.  xlvi.  21). 

MURDEB.  Was  an  outrage  on  the  likeness  of 
God  in  man,  and  also  a  damage  to  society  in  the 
loss  of  a  member.    There  was  to  be  no  reprieve  of 


the  murderer,  for  money,  as  the  pagans  allowed. 
The  accidental  man-slayer  might  escape  to  th« 
City  of  Refuge. 

The  custom  of  blood-revenge  is  very  ancient, 
and  Moses  regulated  it  by  certain  restrictions, 
which  protected  the  accidental  homicide,  but  pun- 
ished the  wilful  criminal.  Bloodshed,  even  in  war, 
was  polluting  (Num.  xxxv.  33;  Deut.  xxi.  1;  1 
Chr.  xxviii.  3).  Some  of  the  ancients  held  that  an 
attempt  to  murder  was  equally  crlmiiial  as  an  ac- 
tual murder.  Child  murder,  parricide,  poisoning, 
are  not  included  among  other  particular  things 
mentioned  in  the  law  (Ex.  xxi.). 

If  an  animal,  known  to  be  unruly  and  violent, 
caused  the  death  of  a  person  by  the  neglect  of  its 
owner  or  keeper,  both  the  animal  and  its  owner 
were  destroyed. 

The  question  of  guilt  was  to  be  determined  by 
the  judges,  but  the  execution  of  the  sentence  was 
the  duty  and  privilege  of  the  next  of  kin  to  the 
sufferer  originally,  but  was  directed  by  the  king 
and  his  officers  in  later  times.  At  least  two  wi> 
nesses  were  required  on  a  capital  offense. 

Private  revenge  caused  many  assassinations  in 
some  ages,  several  instances  of  which  are  recorded 
in  1  K.  XV.  27;  xvi.  9,  10;  2  K.  viii.  15;  x.  7;  li.  1, 
16:  and  there  are  many  others. 

Burglars,  if  taken  in  the  act,  before  day  light 
(or  sunrise),  could  be  killed,  but  not  after  sunrise.

MUR'RAIN  (deber).    A  plague  among  cattle. 
MU'SHI  (forsaken).  Son  of  Mekari  (Ex.  vi.  19) . 
MU'SHITES.    Descendants  of  Mushi  (Num.  ill. 
33). 

MUSIC.  The  first  record  of  music  is  in  Gen.  iv. 
21,  referring  to  Jubal  (brother  of  Tubal-Cain) 
as  the  father  (teacher?)  of  musicians  upon  the 
harp  and  organ;  probably  the  lyre  and  the  Pan- 
dean pipes.  Music  was  used  socially  from  an  early- 
date,  as  in  Gen.  xxxi.  27,  both  as  an  accompani- 
ment to  song  and  dance.  Music  was  an  especial 
employment  of  women,  and,  at  a  later  period, 
"foreign  girls"  visited  Palestine  as  musicians  (Is. 
xxiii.  16).  David  was  an  accomplished  musician, 
and  gave  much  attention  to  its  cultivation,  and  in- 
troduction into  the  Temple  worship  (1  Chr.  xxv.  1). 
It  is  probable  that  in  this  service  were  female 
choirs  (Ezr.  ii.  65).  The  prophets  were  great  culti- 
vators of  music,  and  it  was  an  important  branch 
of  the  instruction  in  the  schools  of  the  prophets.

From  the  time  of  Abraham,  the  Israelites  were  es-  '  for  its  soft,  sad  tones  (Matt.  ix.  23),  and  in  the

Hebrews,  and  can  only  suppose  that  they  liad  a

MUSICAL  INSTEIJMERTS.  There  were  three 
Irjnds  in  use.  1.  Stringed,  (harp,  viol,  sackbut). 
2.  Wind,  (trumpet,  horn,  cornet,  pipe,  flute,  organ, 
didcimer).  3.  Of  percussion,  (beUs,  cymbals, 
timbrel).    See  cut,  p.  202. 

The  cornet  (shofar)  was  made  of  the  horn  of 
a  ram  or  wild  goat,  or  ox.  Its  use  was  for  signals, 
as  for  the  jubilee  (Lev.  xxv.  9),  new  year,  and 
muster  for  war  (Jer.  iv.  6),  and  for  givmg  alarm 
by  the  sentinels  on  the  approach  of  an  enemy  (Ez. 
xxxiii.  iv.).  Keren  was  a  horn  of  any  kind.  Two 
silver  trumpets  were  ordered  by  IMoses,  for  calling 
the  assembly  together;  for  the  'signal  to  march  in 
the  wilderness,  and  for  the  muster  for  war,  and  for 
festivals  (Num.  x.  10).  Yobel  was  probably  the 
name  of  a  distinct  style  of  horn  or  trumpet  (Ex. 
xix.  13),  called  ram's  horn  in  Job  vi.  5,  6.  The 
modern  cornet  is  not  a  successor  of  the  ancient  in 
tone  and  effect,  being  of  brass  and  much  more 
harsh  and  noisy

to  be  the  same  as  the  Pandean  pipe,  which  was 
the  favorite  with  tiu'  shepliei'ds  in  Homrr's  age. 

The  dulcimer  (humfoniah),  an  Assyrian  instru- 
ment (Dan.  iii.  6,  15^ ;  a  triangular  chest,  with  50 
wires  (18  to  36  inches),  played  with  two  small 
hammers. 
There  are  several  words  rendered  musical  instru- 
ments about  which  there  are  doubts;  as 
DAHAVAN,  2d  wife  (Dan.  vi.  8);    min- 
nim,   stringed    instruments   (Ps.   cl.    4- 
xlv.     8);     NEBEL    ASOR,    tcii    strint/fd 
psaltery  (Ps.  xxxiii.  2,  cxliv.  9) ;  shiddah 
palanquin   (Eccl.    ii.    8);    shalishim, 
irian(]le,  or  cymbals  (1  Sam.  xviii.  6). 

MUSTARD,  {sinnpis  niffra).  Is  found 
abundantly  in  Palestine  both  in  a  wild 
iind  cultivated  state.  The  nuistard 
plant  grows  to  a  very  large  size  on  the 
banks  of  the  Jordan.  In  comparison 
with  any  other  "garden herb"  it  would 
be  a  "tree." 

MTJTH^LAB'BEN.    Occurs  in  the  title

to  the  instrument  or  the  tune  to  which 
the  Psalm  was  to  be  sung.

in  trade  (1  Mace.   xv.   23).     Mentioned  by  Hero- 
dotus and  Strabo  for  its  sliips  and  hariior.     There 
is  an  ancient  pier  and  other  ruins  at  the  site. 

MY'RA.  In  Lycia,  where  Paul  changed  vessels 
on  the  way  to  I^ome  (Acts  xxvii.  5)."  Tlie  city 
was  on  a  hill,  at  the  foot  of  whicli  flowed  a  navi- 
gable stream,  with  a  good  harbor  at  its  mouth 
(Pliny).  There  are  ruins  of  various  periods  of  its 
history;  ornamented  tombs,  with  inscriptions  in 
the  Lycian  character;  a  very  large  theatre,  of  the 
Greek  age;  and  a  Byzantine  church. 

MYRRH  (mor).  One  of  tlie  ingredients  in  the 
"oil  of  holy  ointment,"  and  used  as  a  perfume 
(Prov.  vii.  17).  It  was  one  of  the  gifts  brought 
to  the  infant  Jesus  (Matt.  ii.  11).  Myrrh  was  used 

for  EMBALMING  (Johu  XiX.  39). 

The  tree  which  produces  the  myrrh  of  commerce 

{Bdhamodendrou  myrrha),  has  a  hard  wood  and 

rhe  horn  (keren)  was  probably  the  primitive  j  bark,  with  a  strong  odor.    The  gum  is  at  first  soft, 


trumpet,  being  a  horn  of  an  ox,  ram,  or  goat,  with 
a  mouth  piece,  or  simple  open  end.  The  same 
word  is  used  for  the  horn  which  held  the  oil  used 
In  consecration  or  anointing  the  king,  priests  or 
sacrifices  (1  Sam.  xvi.  1,  etc.).  The  word  keren 
meant  also  to  shine,  and  is  so  used  in  the  account  of 
Moses  at  Sinai,  where,  instead  of  horns,  it  was 
more  likely  to  have  been  light  reflected  from  his 
face. 

The  pipe  (chalil)  or  flute  (1  K.  i.  40),  was  an 
instrument  bored  out,  as  of  wood.  The  form  of 
the  flute  was  very  much  the  same  in  all  ancient 
countries.  We  know  what  the  Greek  flute  was, 
both  single  and  double,  and  may  guess  at  the 
Hebrew  very  closely.  The  flute  is  very  much  im- 
proved in  ihodern  days  by  keys,  especially  in  the 
Boehm  variety,  which  "is  really  the  ancient  instru- 
ment improved  by  modern  keys.  The  bore  is  the 
same  size  throughout,  differing  from  the  common 
flute,  which  is  verv  large  at  the  mouth  end,  taper- 
ing towards  the  other.  The  small  sizes  are  called 
fife  and  pieolo.    The  flute  was  used  in  mourning, 


like  thick  turpentine,  hardening  on  exposure. 

Lot  (Gen.  xxxvii.  25,  xliii.  11),  is  also  rendered 
m^yrrh,  and  is  believed  to  refer  to  the  odorous  gum 
of'  the  cistus  creticns,  ladanum.  It  is  used  as  a 
stimulant  in  medicine,  and  also  as  a  perfume. 

MYR'TLE-TREE  (Heb.  had  as).  It  is  a  shrub  or 
tree  common  in  Southern  Europe,  Nortii  Africa 
and  Syria.  Its  berries  are  used  as  a  substitute  for 
spices.  The  Jews  use  it  in  their  adornments  at 
the  Feast  of  Tabernacles  (Neh.  viii.  15). 

MY'SIA.  Province  in  the  N.  W.  of  Asia  Minor, 
west  of  Bithynia,  north  of  Eolis,  or  Lydia.  It  was 
celebrated  for  its  corn  and  wine.  'Paul  passed 
through  it  on  his  first  journey  (Acts  xvi.  7,  8). 
AsROS  and  Adramyttium  were  in  Mysia,  but  Troas 
was  independent. " 

MYS'TERY  (Gr.  musterinn).  One  initiated. 
Truths  hidden  from  the  natural  sense  and  from 
the  merely  natural  reason  (1  Cor.  xiii.  2).  The 
New  Testament  idea  is  a  hidden  truth  to  the 
natural  sense,  but  seen  by  the  spiritual  sense,  as

N 


NA'AM  igrace).    A  Son  of  Caleb. 

KA'AMAllddtimjig).  1.  Daughter  of  Lamech, 
by  Zillah.— 2.  Wife  of  Solomon  and  mother  of 
king  Rehoboam;  she  was  an  Ammonite. 

NAAMAH.  Judah  in  the  Shefelah  (Josh.  xv. 
41).  in  the  group  with  Lachish,  etc.     Lost. 

NA'AMAN  {plea^ant/uai).  1.  "Na'amau,  the 
Svrian,"  Aramite  warrior,  cured  of  leprosy  by 
Elisha  (2  K.  v.).  See  Lki'Uosy.  This  incident  is 
referred  to  by  Jesus  (Luke  iv.  27). — 2.  One  of  the 
family  of  Benjamin,  who  came  down  to  Egypt 
with  Jacob  (Gen.  xlvi.  21). 

There  is  a  Jewish  tradition  in  Josephus  (Ant. 
viii.  15,  5),  which  .says  that  Naaman  was  the  archer 
whose  arrow  .struck  Ahab  with  his  nu)rtal  wound, 
and  thus  "gave  deliverance  to  Syria."  This  feat 
gave  the  warrior  a  great  pla(;e  and  favor  at  the 
court  of  king  Benhaliad  and  command  of  tlie  army. 
He  was  also  privy  counselor  to  the  king,  and  a"t- 
tended  him  to  the  Temple  when  he  worshiped  in 
state.  In  Judaja  his  leprosy  would  have  compelled 
him  to  seclusion,  and  kept  him  away  from  the  king 
and  all  others,  but  the  Syrians  were  not  so  cautious. 
It  was  Naaman  who  went  in  and  told  his  master 
(lord,  the  king,  in  verse  4).  His  carrying  away 
earth  has  been  imitated  many  times  in  ancient  and 
modern  times.  The  Campo  Santo  at  Pisa  is  filled 
with  earth  carried  from  Aceldama.  Pilgrims  to 
Mecca  always  bring  away  something:  dirt,  sand  or 
stones.  Elisha  was  made  known  in  Damascus  by 
this  cure,  and  well  received  by  Naaman's  succes- 
sor, Hazael. 

NA'AMATHITE  (Job  11.  11,  etc.).  Zophar,  one 
of  Job's  friends,  was  from  Naamah;  but  it  is  sup- 
posed that  it  must  be  looked  for  in  Arabia,  where 
the  Temanite  and  Shuhite,  his  other  two  frieuds, 
lived.     Lost. 

NA'AMITES.  The  descendants  of  Na'aman  2, 
mentioned  in  Num.  xxvi.  40. 

NA'AEAH  (a  girl).  Second  wife  of  Ashur,  a 
descendant  of  Judah  (1  Chr.  iv.  5,  6). 

NA'AEAI.  Sou  of  Ezbai,  one  of  David's  "vali- 
ent men"  (1  Chr.  xi.  37). 

NA'ABAN  (boyish).  An  eastern  limit  of  Ephraim 
(1  Chr.  vii.  28.  See  Gezer).  Naarath  in  Josh, 
xvi.  7.  Perhaps  Neara,  from  which  Archelaus  con- 
ducted water  to  irrigate  the  royal  gardens  at  Jeri- 
cho (Ant.  xvii.  13,  1).  It  was  between  Ataroth 
and  Jericho.  There  are  large  ruins  at  the  foot  of 
the  hills  and  in  the  deep  ravines  a  few  miles  north 
of  Jericho,  where  there  are  also  ruins;  but  no  place 
has  been  pointed  out  as  the  site  in  question.  Wady 
JVaimimeh,  3  miles  N.  of  Jericho? 

NAASHON  or  NA'ASHON  (Heh.  nahshot?)

32). 

NA'ATinJS.  Of  the  family  of  Addi  (1  Esd.  ix. 
31).  ^ 

NA'AZUZ.  The  name  of  a  tree,  translated  thorn, 
in  Isaiah  vii.  18,  19,  Iv.  13,  a  thorn  tree. 

NA'BAL  (fool).  A  large  owner  of  sheep  and 
goats,  near  Carmel  of  Judah,  descended  from  Ca- 
leb. He  refused  to  supply  provisions  requested  by 
David,  through  his  young  men,  whom  he  insulteJl 


(1  Sam.  XXV.  10,  11).  His  wife  Abigail  saved  his 
life  by  appeasing  the  wrath  of  David.  The  excite- 
ment caused  by  the  danger  and  rescue  of  Na'bal 
hastened  his  death,  after  which  David  married 
Abigail  (1  Sam.  xxv.).    See  Abigail. 

The  history  of  Nabal  is  one  of  the  few  glimjKses 
given  of  tlie  private  life  of  the  Hebrews.  Jo.sephus 
says  he  was  a  Ziplute  (Ant.  vi.  13,  (i),  residing  at 
Emmaus,  south  of  Carmel  iu  Judah.  The  vast 
tloeks  were  pastured  on  the  downs,  and  gathered 
yearly  at  shearing  time,  when  there  was  feasting, 
and  a  joyous  lime  (xxv.  2,  4,  30).  David's  ten 
messengers  came  to  Nabal  on  one  of  these  feast 
days,  and  wore  recognized  by  his  shepherds  as 
friends  who  )iad  guarded  them  in  tlie  wilderness. 
Thoy  mentioned  their  services  and  David,  and 
claimed  a  reward  as  for  servants,  ])ut  were  denied 
by  the  churlish  farmer.  Josephus  savs  h(-  was  not 
descended  from  Caleb,  but  was  the  son  of  a  cal(;b, 
that  is,  a  dog.  The  violence  of  his  nature  and  man- 
uer  on  this  occasion  prevented  his  shepherds  from 
telling  him  who  David  was,  but  his  iieautiful  wile 
was  ready  to  hear,  and  hastened  to  mend  the  mis- 
chief her  hasty  and  obstinate,  husband  had  done. 
David  had  already  vowed  not  to  leave  '!adog" 
even  of  tiie  whole  household  of  Kabal.  when  Aoi- 
gail  met  him,  and  saluting  him  in  the  Eastern  man- 
ner as  a  prince,  explained  to  him  in  truly  poetic 
phrases  her  husband's  folly.  David  changed  his 
mind,  and  Abigail  returnetl,  but  finding  her  hus- 
band drunk,  waited  until  next  morning  before  till- 
ing him  the  news.  AVhen  Nabal  learned  of  the 
danger  that  had  been  only  just  averted  by  his  wile's 
quick  wit,  his  heart  "  became  as  a  stone"?"  Proba- 
bly a  stroke  of  paralysis  followed,  terminating  in 
death  in  ten  days  (v.  ?u,  38).  David  never  forgot 
Nabal's  death  but  when  the  great  general  Abner 
was  murdered  he  said,  mournfully,  "Died  Abner 
as  Nabal  (a  fool)  died."  Tlie  death  of  Nabal  was 
a  divine  judgment  on  unrestrained  passion  and 
vice. 

NA'BOTH  (fruit ^pro- 
duce). A  Jezreelite  who 
was  the  owner  of  a 
vineyard  coveted  by- 
king  Ahab  (see  Ahab), 
near  whose  palace  it 
was  (1  K.  XXI.  1,  2). 
Naboth  declined  to  part 
with  his  land.  Through 
the  order  of  Jezebel, 
Ahab's  wife,  Naboth 
was  publicly  accused  of 
blasphemy,  convej^ed 
beyond  the  walls  and 
stoned  to  death  with  his 
children  (2  K.  ix.  26),  the  i)unishment  for  that 
crime  (Lev.  xxiv.  16;  Num.  xv.  30).  Ahab  then 
took  possession.  Elijah  uttered  the  projthetic  cur.se 
"In  the  place  where  the  dogs  licked  the  blood  of 
Naboth,  snail  dogs  lick  thy  ulood  even  thine"  (1 
K.  xxi.). 

The  trial  of  Naboth  was  a  fearful  mockery  of 
justice.  He,  as  an  Elder,  was  .set  "  on  high."  ihat 
is,  in  the  seat  of  honor,  at  the  head  of  the  divan 
among  the  iiilers,  and  then  false  witnes.ses,  hired 
for  the  business,  swore  away  his  life.  The  prophet 
denounced  the  crime,  and  retribution  followed  tli^ 
judicial  murder.  The  same  crime  was  i)lanned 
against  Jesus,  and  carried  out.  The  retiibution 
in  this  case  being  a  total  loss  of  judicial  power, 
which  had  been  so  gi-ossly  abused. 

Tri.stram  thinks  the  site  of  the  vineyard  can  be 
identified  on  the  rocky  slope  near  the  iuins  of  an- 
cient Jezreel,  where  "  not  a  shrub  now  clothes  the 
bare  hillside.  A  watch  tower  there  would  hare 
given  a  view  of  the  country  for  many  miles  over 
the  route  of  Jehu  "  (Land  of  fsrael,  page  130).

son  (Luke  xii.  12).  It  is  now  a  small  village,  of 
20  huts,  on  a  rocky  slope,  iu  the  midst  of  extensive 
ruins  of  an  ancient  place,  on  the  northwestern  end 
of  Little  Hermon  {Jebel  ed  Duhy).  There  are 
sepulchral  caves  along  the  steep  eastern  approach 
from  the  plain,  and  also  on  the  other  side  of  the 
town  {Boh.).  It  is  but  a  few  miles  from  Nazareth, 
in  the  vicinity  of  Endor  and  Shunem,  places  noted 
in  the  history,  and  its  name  remains  unchanged 
from  its  ancient  form.  The  custom  of  carry mg 
the  dead  out  of  the  villages,  or  cities,  is  still  prac- 
ticed in  the  East,  as  it  was  when  Jesus  met  the 
procession  coming  out  of  Nain.  And  there  is  now 
on  a  hill  side,  about  ten  minutes  walk  from  the 
village,  the  grave  yard,  with  a  few  whitewashed 
grave  stones,  unfenced.  The  extent  of  the  ruins 
of  Nain  indicate  an  ancient  city  of  some  extent, 
with  a  wall  and  gates.    But  now  there  is  a  painful

NAME 


dcsolafron  around  the  few  stone  and  mud  hovels, 
with  Hat  earth  roofs,  and  doors  only  three  feet  high. 
Fountains  never  change,  and  the  one  here  close  to 
the  village  on  the  west  side,  is  the  best  reason  for 
the  location  of  the  dwelling  place.  It  is  a  scjuare 
cistern,  arched  over  with  masonry,  being  sui)plied 
with  water  through  an  acqueduet'froni  the  iiills. 

NAI  OTH  (colliyc;  btiildini/s).  Where  ISanuu^l  and 
his  disciples  lived  (iSam!  xix.  18,  etc.).  Where 
David  rted  for  refuge  from  Saul.  Samuel  had  a 
school  here.  Verse  20  is  rendered  by  the  Targum — 
Jonathan,  "They  saw  the  company  of  scribes 
singing  praises,  and  Samuel  teaching,  standing 
over  them."  As  Naioth  was  iu  Kaniah  (ver.  19), 
it  was  probably  a  dwelling  used  for  a  .school  in  the 
tov.n  of  Kauuxh.  See  2  K.  xxii.  14.  lluldah  lived 
in  a  college  in  Jerusalem. 

NAME  (Heb.  shem).  The  root  gna,  to  know, 
has  given  rise  to  the  Sanscrit  mcman,  Greek  onoma, 
hat'm  noinen,  Gothic  iiama,  and  our  name. 

No  monuments  are  more  enduring  than  names. 
Sometimes  they  are  the  most  ancient  records  of 
persons,  places  and  tilings.  They  are  fossils  of 
thought.  Bible  names  have  almost  always  a  mean- 
ing, which  is  often  given  by  the  writer  for  a  pur- 
pose. The  meaning  Of  a  name  being  known,  we 
are  able  to  get  a  better  knowledge  of  persons  and 
their  history,  especially  if  the  name  was  given  for 
some  special  reason  or  act.  This  work  is  very  dif- 
ficult because  men's  names  are  so  constantly 
changing  with  the  growth  or  decay  of  language, 
and  the  "substitution  of  one  language  for  another. 

The  Hebrews  gave  but  one  name  to  a  chil<l,  ex- 
cept in  peculiar  cases  (as  Solomon,  Jedidjah),  or 
where  it  Aa,s  necessary  to  add  the  father's  or 
mother's  i^ie,  if  the  niotlier  was  the  more  noted. 
There  is  but  one  David,  but  there  are  several 
named  Je.sus,  as  the  Son  of  Sirach,  etc.  The  an- 
cient custom  was  more  simple  than  the  modern, 
which  (among  the  Arabs)  exalts  a  man's  external 
affairs  by  giving  him  names  and  titles  carrying 
terms  or  flattery  and  display.  The  custom  of 
naming — simple,  compound,  or  ornamental — indi- 
cates very  nearly  the  age  of  the  person  so  named. 
There  were  3  kinds :  1.  Simple.  2.  Compound.  .3. 
Derived.  1.  Simple  names  are  numerous,  and  quite 
plain  in  their  meaning,  as — arieh,  lion;  Deborah, 
bee;  Dan,  judge;  Tamar,  palm-tree;  Jonah,  dove; 
DiSHAN,  gazelle.  Diminutives  were  often  used,  as, 
Zebul()n,"(??i2/  little  dweller  with  me),  and  Jeduthun 
(^little  priiiser),  a  director  of  musical  affairs  in  Da- 
vid's cabinet.  2.  Compound  names  express  more 
complete  ideas  than  the  simple,  and  are  therefore 
more  important  in  history.  Abiezer,  Abital,  Abi- 
gail, Abraham,  compounded  of  Ab,  father,  or 
maker.  Abijail  {joymaker,  or  cheerful),  at  first, 
probably,  an  epithet  only,  but  afterward  a  name  by 
consent  and  use.  The  Arabs  have  a  habit  of  giving 
names  in  sport,  or  derision,  which  the  Hebrews  did 
not  indulge  in,  a.s — Abul-Hussain,  the  father  of  the 
httle  castle,  that  is,  a  fox  who  lives  in  a  hole;  Abu- 
Ayuba,  the  father  of  Job,  that  is,  the  camel, 
because  it  is  as  patient  as  Job.  A  man  is  often 
called  father  of  a  place,  village,  or  city,  who  was 
the  settler,  or  builder,  or  only  the  ruler,  of  that 
place.  See  Father.  The  prefix  ab  was  often 
joined  to  a  term  or  name,  to  show  dignity  or  char- 
acter, as— Abner,  father  of  light,  that  is,  a  wi,se 
counselor.  Sometimes  ab  appears  to  mean  brother, 
as,  Achiram,  brother  of  Kam  (perhaps  one  who 
was  accidentally  fortunate).  The  word  Hud, 
splendor,  was  compounded  with  Jehovali,  as  Je- 
hudi,  a  Jewess  (correctly  Hajehudiah),  that  is, 
Jehovah's  splemlor  (<To'd's  work).  Chur,  free 
(Hur  in  Ex.  xvii.  10),  and  Ish,  a  man,  forms 
Asshur,  a  freeman.     Ishod,  man  of  beauty. 

The  word,  am  people,  forms  with  many  names 
of  countries,  cities,  etc.,  names  of  the  people,  as 
distinguished  from  families;  as  Amminadab,  that 
is  he  who  belongs  to  the  whole  people;  Ithream, 


the  residue  of  the  people;  Yorkoam  (1  Chr.  il.  44, 
Jorkoam),  increaser  of  the  people,  at  first  a  man's 
name,  then  the  name  of  the  place  founded  or  en- 
larged by  him. 

Many  compound  names  carry  a  religious  sense 
with  them,  containing  some  divine  name.  These 
are  found,  in  some  cases,  to  contain  a  name  and  a 
verb,  or  a  comj)lete  sentence;  as  Nathanael  given 
by  El  (Theodore  and  Dorothea  in  Greek  arc  on  the 
same  model).  IIoshea,  help,  with  Jah  becomes 
Jeho.shua,  God's  help,  or  salvation.  Meleh,  king, 
with  Ah,  father,  becomes  Abimelech,  father  king; 
with  Zedek,  righteousness,  becomes  Melchizedek, 
king  of  righteousness;  Adonai,  lord,  Ram,  hight, 
Adoniram,  lord  of  exaltation. 

3.  The  names  of  uu'u  bi'came  names  of  women 
by  a  change  of  termination;  as  MeshuUum,  Me- 
.shullumetli;  Haggai,  llaggith;  Dan,  Dinah;  Judah, 
Judith.  (This  does  not  account  for  the  use  of 
names  of  men  which  are  used  for  women  without 
change,  and  which  were  probably  used  as  a  kind  of 
monument,  being  compound  words,  and  incapable 
of  regular  feminine  forms).  Ai  (imperfect  form 
of  Jah)  with  Amit,  truth,  means  truth  of  Jah ; 
Jedid,  darling,  with  Jah,  Jedidiah,  Jah's  darling. 
Some  names  seem  to  have  been  used  for  both  men 
and  women,  even  the  feminine  forms,  as  Shelo- 
mith,  feminine  of  Shelomo  (Solomon),  for  a  man 
(1  Chr.  xxvi.  25).  Many  titles  of  men  in  office 
were  feminine,  as  Pekah,  governer,  Koheleth, 
preacher.  Ab,  father,  becomes  in  the  plural 
aboth  (feminine)  not  abim  (ma.sculine).  Zerub- 
BABEii  {scattered  in  Babylon),  was  a  hint  of  the 
man's  history.  Many  names  indicate  the  condition 
of  the  National  history  at  the  time  they  were 
given;  as  a  time  of  religious  elevation  in  Hodaiah, 
praise  ye  Jah;  Elioenai,  mine  eyes  look  to  Elj 
Zephaniah,  watcher  of  the  Lord. 

The  pure  Hebrew  names  Eleazar  became  Grecized 
into  Lazarus;  Joshua  became  Jason,  and  Jesus; 
Alcimus  from  Eleakim. 

In  the  Old  Testament  there  are  many  names 
which  are  derived  from  the  heathen  idols,  as  Beth- 
aven,  house  of  idols;  Gurbaal,  place  of  baal;  Ha- 
darazer,  whose  help  is  Hadad ;  and  in  the  New 
Testament,  as  Apollonius,  Phoebe,  Artemas. 

The    Hebrews 


gave  their  children 
the  names  of  many 
natural  objects,  as 
Tamar,  a  palm 
tree;  Hadassah, 
myrtle;  Zipporah, 
sparrow;  and  Zil- 
lah,  shadow;  Shim- 
rath,  vigilant;  Tabi 
tha,  gazelle;  Piacli- 
el,  ew'e;  Shual,  fox, 
Cheran,  lamb.  The 
right  of  naming  be-  ^^.A 
longed  to  the  fath- 
er, but  was  allowed 
to  the  mother  in 
many  cases.     The  y 

time  was  usually  at  the  day  of  circumcision,  the  8th 
for  boys,  and  for  girls  at  any  time  during  the  first 
year.  The  boy  often  was  called  son  of  his  father 
if  he  became 'noted,  or  to  distinguish  him  from 
other  relatives  of  the  same  name. 

"^Vlien  a  man  had  no  sons  he  was  the  subject  of 
his  friends'  sympathy  wlip  gave  him  an  imaginary 
son,  whose  name  was  addexi  to  his.  If  a  son  be- 
came famous  the  father  was  honored  by  being 
called  the  father  of  such  a  one. 

The  name  often  indicated  the  character  or  office 
of  the  person,  as  Isaiah,  Jah  is  helper.  When  God 
elects  a  man  for  a  certain  work  he  is  said  to  call 
him  by  name,  as  Bezaleel,  the  shadow  of  God  (Ex. 
xxxi.  1).  Receiving  a  new  name  from  God  is  an 
expression  founded  on  the  custom  of  giving  chil-

(2  Sam.  xii.  25) .  In  the  last  days  of  David  Nathan 
assisted  the  cause  of  Solomon.  He  assisted  in  the 
inauguration  of  Solomon  (1  K.  i.  8).  He  had  a 
son,  Zabud,  who  was  the  "king's  friend."  He 
wrote  a  Life  of  David  (1  Chr.  xxix.  29)  and  a  Life 
of  Solomon  (2  Chr.  ix.  29).  The  loss  of  his  biogra- 
phy of  David  is  a  heavy  one  to  history.— 2.  Son  of 
David  by  Bath-sheba  (1  Chr.  iii.  5,  xiv.  4,  and  2

tholomew). He  was  one  of  the  seven  Apostles 
to  whom  Jesus  appeared  after  the  resurrection  at 
the  Sea  of  Tiberias.  When  introduced  to  Jesus  by 
Philip,  Jesus  said,  "  Behold  an  Israelite  indeed,  in 
whom  there  is  no  deceit,"  thus  making  his  name 
almost  a  synonym  for  sincerity.  Tradition  says  he 
preached  in  Arabia  Felix,  having  Matthew's  gos-

NAZARENE.  An  inhabitant  of  Nazareth.  Es- 
pecially associated  with  the  name  of  Christ  and 
his  followers,  who  were  called  Nazarenes  (Acts

The  rook  of  this  whole  region  is  a  soft,  white

(Nebo  THE  Mighty).  The  son  of  Nabopolassar, 
king  of  Chaldasa  and  founder  of  the  Baliylonian 
Empire.  Nebuchadnez'zar,  after  having  succeeded 
in  recovering  Carcliemish,  by  defeating  Nectio, 
king  of  Egypt  (Jer.  xlvi.  2-12),  and  conquering 
Phoenicia,  Palestine  and  Jerusalem,  marched  into 
Egypt,  when  he  was  informed  of  the  death  of 
his  father.  He  huiTied  back,  accompanied  by  his 
light  troops,  to  secure  his  succession  to  the  throne, 
which  he  ascended  B.  C.  604;  the  main  army  and 
captives  (amongst  whom  were  Daniel,  Hananiah, 
Mishael  and  Azariah)  following  him  by  a  longer 
route.  These  captives  were  of  "roj^al  lineage,  and 
the  king  had  them  educated  in  tlie  language  and 
learning  of  the  Chaldasans,  with  a  view  to  their 
employment  in  court  (2  K.  xxiv.  1;  2  Chr.  xxxvi. 
6;  Dan.  I.  1).  Nebuchadnez'zar  had  left  the  con- 
quered Jehoiakim,  king  of  Judah,  upon  the  throne 
as  a  tributary  prince,  but  he  soon  after  rebelled, 
probably  anticipating  support  from  Egypt  (2  K. 
xxiv.  1).  Pii03nicia  followed  in  the  rebellion,  and 
Nebuchadnez'zar,  after  having  invested  Tyre,  ad- 
vanced upon  Jerusalem,  which  immediately  sub- 
mitted. He  jjunished  Jelioiakim  with  death, 
placing  that  king's  son,  Jehoiachin,  upon  the  throne 
of  Judah..  This  king  soon  after  revolting,  caused 
Nebuchadnez'zar  for  a  third  time  to  march  to  Jeru- 
salem ;  he  took  Jehoiachin  captive,  together  with 
ten  thousand,  amongst  whom  were  Ezekiel  the 
prophet,  and  Mordecai,  the  uncle  of  Esther  (Esth. 
ii.  6).  He  also  stripped  the  Temple  and  the 
treasury  of  riches,  and  placed  the  king's  uncle, 
Zedekiah,  upon  the  throne.  After  nine  years, 
Zedekiah  rebelled,  the  neighboring  princes  assist- 
ing him.  The  king  of  Babylon  again  marched  to 
Judah,  and  after  an  obstinate  siege  of  nearly  a 
year,  during  which  time  he  repelled  an  incursion  of 
the  Egyptians,  he  entered  Jerusalem,  seized  Zede- 
kiah, wliose  children  he  put  to  death  before 
his  eyes,  and  sent  him,  fettered,  to  Babylon,  after 
having  put  out  his  eyes  (2  K.  xxiv.  25 ;  2  Chr. 
xxxvi.).  Nebuchadnezzar  raised  his  kingdom  and 
city  to  the  greatest  splendor;  the  marvellous  hang- 
ing gardens  are  ascribed  to  him,  erected  to  please 
Amytis,  his  queen,  by  imitating  the  groves  of  her 
native  country.  Media.  The  ruins  of  Birs  Nlm- 
roud  attest  the  magnificence  of  his  works ;  these

ing forty  years.

figuratively  (Luke  xiv.  20).  Burdens  were  borne

figuratively  for  several  ideas:  To  denote  subjection, 
by  placing  the  foot  on  it  (Josh.  x.  24) ;  seizing  a 
person  by  the  neck  securely  (Job  xvi.  12).  To  be 
stiff-necked  was  to  be  stubborn,  rebellious.

NETH'INIM  {dedicated).  A  body  of  men  given 
to  assist  the  Levites  in  the  performance  of  the  rites 
of  the  Temple  (Ezr.  vii.  24)  as  the  Levites  were 
given  to  Aaron  (Num.  ii.  9,  viii.  19).  The  Nethi- 
nim  performed  the  menial  olfices  of  the  Temple, 
living  near  it.  Thev  assisted  in  rebuilding  the 
Temple  walls,  etc.,  after  the  return  from  captivity. 
NET'OPHAH  (a  dropping) .  Peopled 
after  the  return  from  captivity  (Ezr. 
ii.  22).  Two  of  David's  captains  were 
natives  of  this  place  (2  Sam.  xxiii. 
28).  At  the  dedication  of  the  wall 
built  by  Neliemiali,  the  singers  were 
found  residing  in  the  villages  of  this 
people ;  so  there  were  more  than  one 
to^^■n,  perhaps  a  district,  near  Bethle- 
hem. Seraiah  (loarrior  of  Jehovah), 
a  native  of  this  place,  was  an  accom- 
plice of  Ishmael  in  the  murder  of 
Gedaliah  (2  K.  xxv.  23).  Urn  Tuba, 
2  ms.  N.  E.  of  Bethlehem.  Beit  Nettif ,

ous fluid  wlien  pressed. 

NEW  MOON.  Marked  the  commencement  of  each 
month  (see  Month),  and  was  celebrated  as  a  holy- 
day.  Offerings  were  made  as  ordained  (Num.  xxviii. 
11,  15).  AH  business  was  suspended  (Amos  viii. 
6) .  The  Day  of  the  N.  M.  was  recognized  as  a  fam- 
ily festival  with  religious  C)bservances,  although  not 
especially  ordained.    It  was  proclaimed   by  the 


tinimpet-sound  (Ps.  Ixxxi.  3).  After  the  establish- 
ment of  Christianity  tlie  observance  was  discon- 
tinued. 

NEW  TESTAMENT.   See  History  of  the  Books.

tower  60  ft.  sq.,  of  ancient,  massive  masonry, 
besides  broken  colunms. 

NIB'HAZ  (Heb.  nacach),  {to  barl).  A  deity  of 
the  Avites;  the  figure  of  a  dog,  or  dog-headed  man 
(2  K.  xvii.  31).  The  Syrians' worshiped  the  dog, 
and  there  was  a  colossal  figure  of  one  between 
Beirut  and  Tripohs,  wliich  has  been  lately  de- 
stroyed. 

NIB'SHAN  (light-soil).  A  city  on  the  W.  shore 
of  the  Dead  Sea  (Josh.  xv.  62).    Desert.    2.  En- 

GEDI. 

NICA'NOR.  1.  Son  of  Patroclus  (2  IMacc.  viii.  9). 
A  general  under  Antioclius  Epiphanes  and  Deme- 
trius I.  He  assisted  in  the  first  expedition  of  Lv- 
cias,  B.  C.  166  (1  Mar-c.  ill.  38).  He  was  defeated, 
but,  after  the  death  of  Antioclius,  Demetrius  made 
hiin  governor  of  Judfea  (2  Mace.  xiv.  12). 

NICODE'MUS  (NAKDiMON,  innocent  of  blood). 
A  Pharisee,  ruler  of  the  Jews,  teacher  of  ihe  law 
(Jolm  ii.  23,  iii.  1,  10),  a  member  of  the  San- 
hedrin.  He  was  probably  wealthy,  as  his  valuable 
tribute  to  the  tomb  of  the  Lord  indicates.  His  tim- 
idity was  shown  in  his  night  visit  to  the  Great 
Tea'clier,  where  he  received'divine  instruction,  and 
a  prediction  of  the  crucifixion.  When  that  predic- 
tion had  been  fulfilled  and  Joseph  of  Arimathea 
had  begged  for  and  was  permitted  by  Pilate  to  take 
the  body  from  the  cross,  Nicodemus  assisted.  Tra- 
dition says  that  he  lived  in  intimacy  with  Gamaliel, 
and  was  buried  near  the  grave  of  Stephen. 

NICOLAI'TANS.  A  sect  of  heretics  of  the  Apos- 
tolic period.  They  held  it  lawful  to  eat  food  sacri- 
ficed to  idols;  to  "join  in  idolatrous  worship;  and 
that  God  did  not  create  the  universe.  They  held 
their  women  in  common.  John's  Gospel  and  also 
his  Apocalypse  opposes  their  teaching.  (See 
History  of  the  Books).  These  doctrines  have 
been  supposed  to  have  originated  with  the  prophet 
Balaam.  They  are  sometimes  called  Shuaibites, 
from  the  Midianite  Shuaib,  which  is  Balaam. 

NICOLAS,  NieH'OLAS,  NICO'LATJS.  One  of  the 
first  seven  deacons  of  the  Cliurch  of  Jerusalem 
(Acts  vi.  5).    He  was  a  native  of  Antioch. 

HICOP'OLIS  {city  of  victory) .  Built  by  Augustus, 
in  Epirus,  on  the  site  wliere  his  army  encainped 
the  night  before  the  battL'  of  Actium.  The  Tem- 
ple of  Neptune  was  ])laced  on  the  spot  ocfupiert  by 
his  own  tent.  Paul  requested  Titus  (iii.  12),  to 
come  to  him  from  Crete,  or  from  Dalmatia  (2  Tim. 
iv.  10),  to  iSiicopolis.  He  also  urged  Timothy  ia 
the  same  manner  (v.  21).  There  are  on  the  penin- 
sula, N.  W.  of  the  Pay  of  Actium  {Gv If  of  Aria), 
ruins  of  a  tf'inple,  a  theatre,  walls,  and  other  struc- 
tures, on  the  hill  and  the  low  marshy  plain  ;  now 
deserted.  It  is  possible  tlnit  Paul  was  arrested 
here,  and  taken  to  Home  for  his  finnl  trial  {Cuny- 
beare  and  Howson). 

NI'GEE  (black).  A  name  given  to  Simeon  G 
(Acts  xiii.  ]). 

NIGHT  ((Heb.  to  pink;  the  sinking  of  tee 
day).    See  Chronology,  p.  56. 

NIGHT-HAWK  (Heb.  tachmas).  In  the  enn- 
meration  of  unclean  animals  in  Lev.  xi.  16,  and  in 
Dent.  xiv.  15,  this  word  appears.  There  is  much 
controversy  as  to  its  meaning,  whether  the  nifjlii- 
hawk  or  the  ichite  owl.

NINEVEH 


NILE   EMKLBM. 


NILE.  The  Hebrew  names  of  the  river  were 
8HICH0R  (t)lack);  Yeor  (the  river);  Sihor,  in  Jer. 
ii.  18.  Tlie  Sanscrit  XiUih  means  durk  bint';  and 
one  of   tiie  up- 

{KT  branches  of 
he  river  is  now 
called  the  Blue 
Nile.  The  name 
Yeor  is  Egyp- 
tian, and  is  writ- 
ten AUR  on  tlii> 
monuments.  It 
is     also     called 

II.\PEE   MU     (fh:' 

abyss).  Dr.  Liv- 
ingstone's late 
r.(;counts  show 
this  to  be  the 
longest  river  in 
the  world;  risins 
in  or  beyond  the  lake  Victoria  Nyanza,  south  of 
the  e(iuator,  and  emptying  into  the' Mediterranean 
at  N.  lat.  31° ;  its  course"  running  through  ."6  de- 
grees, having  been  traced  more  than  2700  ms., 
while  it  is  quite  certain  that  it  will  be  foimd 
to  be  1000  ms.  longer.  (The  .\mazon  >,-xtends 
through  30  degrees,  and  the  ^lis'^ouri  and  Mis- 
sissippi together  about  35  degrees).  There  are 
three  chief  branches:  1.  ThcMlwe,  {Dahr  el  Azral;) 
drains  Abyssinia,  and  brings  Ao\\n  the  alluvial 
soil  which  "fertilizes  Egypt.  2.  The  White  (Bahr 
d  Abyad),  joins  the  Blue  at  Khartoom,  the  capital 
of  Soodan.  3.  The  Atbara  {bla.ck  river),  rises  also 
in  Abyssinia,  and  joins  the  Nile  at  the  north  point 
of  the"  Island  of  Meroe.  There  are  no  tributaries 
below  the  Atbara.  The  stream  is  interrupted  by 
several  cataracts  formed  by  granite  projected  up 
through  the  sandstone  of  its  oed.  Tne  first  cata- 
ract is  at  the  south  boundary  of  Egypt  (lat.  24°), 
the  ancient  Syene,  now  Assouan;  the  second,  or 
Great  Cataract,  is  in  lat.  22°  ;  the  third  in  lat.  irP 
45';  the  fourth  in  lat.  18°  45';  and  the  fifth  in 
18°  20',  100  miles  above  the  fourth.      The  river 

?iarts  into  several  branches  below  the  pyramids  of 
_Iemphis  and  Cairo,  and  encloses  the  Delta.  The 
ancients  mention  .seven  branches:  1.  Pelusiac;  2. 
Tanitic;  3.  Mendesian;  Bucolic  (Damietta);  5. 
Sebennytic;  6.  Bolbytene  (Rosetta);  7.  Canopic 
(Is.  xi.  15).  The  width,  in  its  lower  course,  is  from 
half  a  mile  to  a  mile  wide,  where  there  are  islands. 
The  water  is  sweet,  especially  during  the  Inunda- 
tion, and  quickly  becomes  clear  by  settling  its 
sediment.  As  Egypt  has  norain  (Zecli.  xiv.  17-19), 
the  river  supplies  water  to  the  soil  by  its  overflow. 
The  annual  rise  is  noticed  at  Khartoom  in  April, 
but  is  not  visible  in  Lower  Egypt  before  June,  and 
continues  until  September.  The  prophet  Amos 
refers  to  the  inundation  as  a  symbol  of  great  power 
and  utter  desolation  (viii.  8,  ix.  5).  Job  was  ac- 
quainted with  the  Nile  floods,  for  the  word  that  he 
uses  in  ch.  xxviii.,  ver.  10,  for  rivers,  is  the  plural 
of  the  name  of  the  Nile,  in  the  original.  Jeremiah 
also  uses  it  as  a  figure  when  speaking  of  Pharaoh 
Necho's  army  (xlvi.).  Its  waters  abound  in  fish 
of  many  kinds  (Num.  xi.  5);  but  crocodiles  (de- 
scribed minutely  by  Job  (xli.),  and  mentioned  by 
Ezekiel  (xxix.  3),  are  becoming  very  scarce,  and 
are  only  found  in  Upper  Egypt.  The  monuments 
and  the  ancient  \\Titers  give  accounts  of  the  banks 
of  the  Nile  as  being  bordered  with  flags,  reeds,  and 
flowers,  especially  the  lotus,  and  full  of  wild-fowls. 
Now  the  banks  are  nearly  bare,  as  prophesied  by 
Isaiah  (xix.  t5,  7).  The  papyrus,  which  was  used 
for  making  paper,  and  for  boats  (which  were  re- 
markable for  their  swiftness— Is.  xviii.  2),  has 
entirely  disappeared,  except  in  the  marshes  of  the 
Delta.  Ezekiel  compares  Pharaoh  to  a  crocodile 
(great  dragon)  in  the  Nile,  fparing  no  one  (xxi.x. 
1-5;  whale,  in  xxxii.  2).  Moses  was  exposed  on 
its  waters  in  a  boat  of  papyrus  (bulrushes,  Ex.  11. 


3).  It  is  said  traditionally  that  Jesus  lived  on 
its  banks,  near  Ilelioimlis;  and  its  name  is  associ- 
ated with  many  otluT  Bible  chara(;ters,  such  as 
Abs.ilom,  Jacob,  Josi-ph,  Solomon  (whose  wife 
was  a  daughter  of  IMuiraoh),  besides  the  captive 
king  t)f  Judah,  j)ictured  on  the  walls  of  the  temple 
at  Karnac.    See  Memphis. 

NIM'EAH  (j)ure  ivatcr).  in  the  "laud  of  Jaz.er," 
afterward  called  Beth  Nimrah  (Num.  xxxii.  3,  36); 
in  the  tribe  of  Gab.  Tlu>  name  Nimrim  (fmnt/Lers) 
is  found  in  several  loealitifs  cast  oi.]t>vihin( Porter). 
Two  miles  east  of  the  Jordan,  on  tlie  road  from 
Jericho  to  Es  Salt,  are  ruins  near  co))ious  fountains 
(Is.  XV.  6;  Jer.  xlviii.  34).  Euscbius  says  it  was  a 
village  north  of  Zoar.  If  our  location  of  Nimrah 
is  coiTect,  Zoar  must  have  been  nortli  of  the  Dead 
Sea. 

NIM'BOD  (tJie  eu-tremely  impioxts  rebel).  Son  of 
('usli  (Gen.  X.  8,  9^.  He  established  an  empire  in 
Shinar  (Babylonia),  the  chief  cities  of  which  were 
Babel,  Erech,  Accad,  and  Calueh;  and  extended  it 
northward  over  Assyria,  including  the  cities  Nine- 
veh, Kehoboth,  Calah,  and  Rcsi-n.  There  is  no 
authentic  account  of  his  liic.  The  tales  of  Ctesias, 
and  others,  except  tluit  in  the  Bible,  are  gue.s.ses  or 
inventions;  and  of  the  great  cities  which  he  built 
very  little  has  been  known  until  within  the  last 
twenty-five  years,  when  Layard  exhumed  the  pal- 
aces, sculptures  and  inscriptions  of  Nimroud.  See 
j  Nineveh. 

I     NIM'SHI   (drmoti  ovt).    Grandfather  of  Jehu, 
j  generally  called  th-  son  of  Nimshi  (1  K.  xix.  16). 
j      NIN'EVEH    (Xii<y-nava7i=Mn'tow}i).     The   an- 
j  cient  capital  of  Assyria.     First  mentioned  in  Gen. 
j  X.  11).     The  country  was  also  called  tiie  land  of 
Ninirod  by  Micah  (v.  6).    Balaam  prophesied  the 
captivity  of  Israel  bv  Assyria  (Nimi.  xxiv.  22), 
and  Asaph  sings  of  their  alliance  with  Moab  (Ps. 
Ixxxiii.  8).     Jonah  was  sent  to  the  city  about  800 
I  B.  C,  and  Nahum  devotes  the  whole  of  his  book 
to  "the  burden  of  Nineveh,"  abimt  725  B.   C. 
I  Isaiah  says  that  SiMinacherib  resided  in  the  city ; 
■  and  it  was  prob-ably  the  scene  of  his  death  (is. 
I  xxxvii.  37),  while  worshiping  in  the  temple  of  Nis- 
i  roch,  his  god.    The  last  notice  of  it  is  by  Zepha- 
i  niah,  B.  C.  6.30  (ii.  13).    Assyria  is  alluded  to  as 
'  having  been  destroyed,  according  to  prophesy  by 
j  Ezekiel  (xxxi.),  and  Jeremiah  omits  it  fron'i  his 
catalogue  of  all  nations  (xxv.).    The  city  is  not 
mentioned  in  the  inscriptions  of  the  Persian  dy- 
nasty.   Herodotus  passed  very  near,  if  not  over, 
the  site  of  the  city,  about  200  years  after  its  de- 
struction, but  does  not  mention  ft,  except  as  having 
once    been   there.      Xenophon,    with    his    10.000 
Greeks,  encamped  near  the  site  (B.  C.  401),  but  does 
not  mention  its  name  (Anab.  iii.  4,  7),  although  he 
describes  the  mounds  as  they  appear  now.    Alex- 
ander marched  ovrr  the  very  place,  and  won  a  great 
victory  at  Arbela,  in  sight  of  it,  but  his  historians 
make  no  note  of  it.   The  Emperor  Claudius  planted 
a  colony  there,  and  restored  the  name  Nineve. 
Tacitus  calls  it  Ninos,  when  taken  by  Meherdates. 
On  the  coins  of  Trajan  it  is  Ninus,  and  on  those  of 
Maximinus  it  is  Niniva;  Claudeopolis  being  added 
on  both  coins.    Many  relics  of  the  Romans  have 
been  found  ;  vases,  sctilptures,  figures  in  bronze 
and  marble,  terra-eottas,  and  coins.     The  site  vftss 
again  deserted  when  Heraclius  gained  a  victor^' 
over  the  Persians,  A.  D.  627. 

The  Arabs  named  their  fort,,  on  the  east  bank  of 
the  Tigris,  Xinawi  (A.  D.  637).  The  accfmnts  of 
its  immense  extent  are  various,  and  not  very  reli- 
able. Diodorus  Siculus  says  the  dimensions"  were 
(according  as  we  estimate  "his  figures,  from  32  to 
60,  or  even)  74  miles  in  circuit.  The  walls  were 
100  feet  high,  and  wide  enough  for  three  chariots 
to  drive  abreast;  flanked  by  i.">00  towers,  each  200 
feet  high  (accounts  which  nave  not  yet  been  veri- 
fied). Layard  says:  "If  we  take  the  four  great 
mounds  of  Nimi-ud,  Koyunjik,  Khorsabad,  and

NINEVEH

NINEVEH 


Karamles,  as  the  corners  of  a  square,  it  will  be 
fouiid  to  agree  pretty  accurately  with  the  60  miles 
of  Herodotus,  which  make  the  three  days'  journey 
of  Jonah."  Within  this  space  there  are  many 
mounds,  and  remains  of  pottery,  bricks,  etc. 

The  name  of  Nineveh  is  found  on  the  Egyptian 
monuments  of  the  date  of  Thothmes  III,  about 
1400  B.  C. 

The  first  notice  in  modern  times  of  the  ruins 
were  by  Mr.  Rich,  in  1820,  who  brought  to  London 
a  few  bricks,  with  inscriptions,  some  cylinders, 

f;ems,  and  other  remains.  Layard  next  visited 
hem,  iij  1840;  but  Botta,  a  French  consul  at  Mo- 
sul, found  the  first  Assyrian  monument,  which  was 
of  value  as  a  confirmation  of  Scripture.  It  was 
soon  followed  by  a  great  variety  of  works  of  art, 
i  a  1844,  at  Khorsabad,  the  results  of  which  explo- 
ration are  in  the  Assyrian  room  at  the  Louvre, 
I-aris.  The  great  work  of  disentombing  the  re- 
mains of  ancient  Nineveh  was  performed  by  Lay- 
ard, from  1845  to  1850.

BLACK  OBELISK  OF  NmRODP. 


Tlie  accounts  of  Layard's  discoveries  are  pub- 
lishod  in  minute  detail,  filling  volumes,  and  will  re- 
pay the  time  spent  in  reading  them ;  for,  besides  giv- 
ing undoubted  and  truthful  glimpses  of  antiquity, 
in  almost  every  phase  of  society,  they  are  as  startling 
and  exciting  as  the  wildest  romance,  both  in  text 
and  illustration.  But  far  beyond  these  in  value  to 
us  are  their  uses  in  confirmation  of  the  Scriptures. 

Place  and  Fresnel  discovered,  at  Khorsabad,  co- 
lossal, human-headed,  winged  bulls,  which  were  in 
groups  on  each  side  of  great  doorways ;  besides 
other  mythic  figures.  The  most  important  inscrip- 
tion that  has  been  brought  to  light,  is  that  on  two 
of  the  human-headed  bulls  from  Koyunjik  (now  in 
the  British  Museum),  giving  an  account  of  Senna- 
cherib; his  wars  with  Hezekiah,  and  the  capture  of 
Lachish,  with  pictures  illustrating  it  (See  La- 
chish).    Nearly  equal  in  value  is  the  Black  Obe- 


lisk of  Nimroud ;  a  piece  of  black  marble,  6  ft.  6 
in.  high,  1  ft.  63^  in.  sq.  at  the  top,  and  2  ft.  sq.  at 
the  bottom,  the  upper  half  covered  with  5  panels 
of  figures,  with  inscriptions  between  each  panel, 
and  also  many  lines  below  the  lower  one:  altogether 
210  lines.  One  side,  only,  is  engraved  here :  the 
four  may  be  seen  in  the  work  on  "  Nineveh  and  its 
Palaces, ' '  by  Bonomi.  The  stoiy  may  be  inferred 
from  the  text  in  2  K.  xvii.,  xviii.  The  first  panel, 
at  the  top,  exhibits  the  king,  attended  by  his  eu- 
nuch, and  a  bearded  officer  (perhaps  the  returned 
conqueror) ;  a  captive  kisses  his  foot,  and  two  offi- 
cers wait  the  king's  orders.  The  image  of  Baal, 
and  a  circle  enclosing  a  star  (the  sun  ?)  are  sim- 
ilar to  those  on  the  rocks  at  Nahr  el  Kelb. 
The  same  images,  reversed  in  position,  are  in 
the  second  panel.  One  may  mean  Morning, 
and  the  other  Evening ;  and  both,  with  the  figures 
in  the  other  panels  bringing  and  presenting  tri- 
bute, indicate  that  the  captives  were  so  many, 
and  the  tribute  so  vast,  that  they  consumed 
the  whole  day  in  their  presentation.  Some  of  the 
figures  on  the  obelisk  resemble  those  on  the  wall  of 
the  small  temple  of  Kalabshe,  who  are  enemies  of 
Eaamses  II,  and  are  understood  to  represent  Jews 
in  both  cases.  The  inscription,  as  interpreted  by 
Rawlinson,  mentions  the  receiving  by  the  king  of 
tribute  from  the  cities  of  Tyre,  Sidon,  and  Gebal, 
in  his  21st  year;  defeating  the  king  of  Hamath,  and 
12  other  kings  of  the  upper  and  lotoei- country  (Ca- 
naan, lower).  Dr.  Hincks  reads  the  names  of  Jehu, 
king  of  Israel,  and  dates  the  obelisk  875  B.  C.  Dr. 
Grotefend  reads  the  names  of  Tiglath  Pileser,  Pul, 
and  Shalmanassar,  and  refers  to  the  accounts  in 
Isaiah  (xx.),  and  Nahum  (iii.). 

Sargon's  name  was  found  in  another  inscription, 
with  his  title,  Shalmaneser,  and  the  account  of  the 
capture  of  Samaria  (which  in  Assyrian  is  Sama- 
RiNA).  He  carried  off  27,280  families,  and  placed 
colonies,  in  their  stead,  of  people  from  Assyria  (2 
K.  xviii.).  The  king  of  Egypt  is  called  Pirhu 
(Pharaoh),  and  Heliopolis  is  Eabek  (Ea— ran, 
bek — city).  Ashdod,  Jamnia,  Hamath,  Bersea, 
Damascus,  Bambyce,  and  Charchemish,  are  men- 
tioned among  his  captures.  He  is  also  styled  the 
conqueror  of  remote  Judaea.  He  had  a  statue  and 
inscription  in  his  honor  on  the  island  of  Cypress. 
The  son  of  this  king  was  Sennacherib,  who  built 
Koyunjik;  and  in  the  great  palace  there  were  found 
inscriptions  in  honor  of  his  capture  of  Babylon 
from  Merodach-Baladan  (2  K.  xx.  12;  Is.  xxxix. 
1);  and  cf  Sidon,  under  King  Luliya;  and  of  his 
expedition  into  Judsea,  in  which  occur  the  names 
KHAZAKiYAHTJ  (Hczekiali),  UKSALiMA  (Jerusa- 
lem), and  YAHTJDA  (Jews).  The  king  of  Pelusium 
is  mentioned.  The  tribute  of  Hezekiah,  as  re- 
corded, consisted  of  30  talents  of  gold,  300  talents 
of  silver,  the  vessels  and  ornaments  of  the  Temi)le, 
slaves,  both  boys  and  girls,  maid-servants  and  men- 
servants— confirming  the  Scripture  account  (2  K. 
xviii.  13-16). 

The  tells  or  mounds  (see  Ezr.  ii.  59;  Ez.  iii. 
15;  2  K.  xix.  12)  which  are  scattered  all  over  the 
region  watered  by  the  Euphrates  and  Tigris  and 
their  confluents,  contain  the  remains  of  Assyrian, 
Babylonian,  and  Persian  occupation.  They  vary 
in  size  from  50  to  150  feet  high,  and  also  much 
more  in  length,  being  from  a  few  rods  to  several 
miles  in  extent.  Those  forming  what  is  now  called 
Nineveh  are  Koyunjik,  which  is  3,900  feet  long  by 
1500  wide  and  96  high;  Ni'by  Tu7im  (traditional 
tomb  of  Jonah),  about  40  acres  in  extent ;  Khor- 
unbad,  6,000  feet  square;  Sdamieh,  410  acres ; 
Nimrud,  1,000  acres  :  and  in  this  group  of  mounds 
(called  Nimroud)  there  are  indications  of  more 
than  100  towers,  at  regular  intervals.  On  the  S. 
W.  of  this  group  there  is  a  mound  2,100  feet  by 
1,200,  with  a  cone  at  one  corner  (N.  W.)  140  feet 
high.

toby  Ezra  (v.  17,  vi.  2),  was  found  at  Koyunjik, 
filled  with  the  archives  of  the  empire,  written  on 
tablets  of  terra-cotta,  and  in  pt^rlect  order  and 
preservation,  piled  from  the  lioor  h)  the  ceihng, 
most  of  which  were  sent  to  the  British  Museum. 

NDf  'E VITES.    Inhabitants  of  Nineveh  (Luke  xi. 
30). 
NI'SON  (Esth.  xi.  2). 

NIS  ROCH  (lleb.).  The  name  of  an  idol  of 
Nini'veh  (2  K.  xix.  37). 

NI  TRE  (Ileb.  nether).  Used  as 
a  wash  (Jer.  ii.  22).  This  substance 
is  not  the  same  as  our  nitrate  of  po- 
tassa.  Natron  was  and  is  now  used 
by  the  Egyptians  for  wasliing  clothes, 
for  yeast  and  for  soap;  also  as  a  cure 
for  toothaclie  mixed  with  vinegar.  It 
is  found  in  the  soda  lakes  of  Egypt, 
50  miles  W.  of  Cairo.  The  Natron 
lakes  of  Egypt  were  early  occupied 
by  hermits,  who  built  large  and  fort- 
like monasteries,  where,  for  ages,  the 
study  of  the  Christian  religion  was 
pursued,  and  its  practice  kept  up, 
with  the  severest  ritualistic  forms. 
Their  libraries  were  found,  after 
several  centuries  of  neglect,  to  contain  valuable 
copies  of  the  Gospels,  homilies,  and  books  of 
church  services. 

NOADI'AH  (with  whom  Jah  convenes).  1.  Son  of 
Binnui  (Ezr.  viii.  '63). — 2.  Noadiahthe  prophetess 
(Neh.  vi.  l-i). 

NO'AH  (noach,  to  rest,  or  give  comfort.)  The 
second  head  of  the  human  race,  as  Adam  was  the 
first.  From  his  birth  to  the  age  of  500  years  there 
is  a  blank  in  his  history.  Society  in  his  day  had 
become  sadly  corrupted  by  the  custom  of  intermar- 
riage of  different  races,  especially  of  two  distinct 
reli'sjious  communities,  called  "The  sons  of  God" 
(Elohim)  and  "The  Sous  of  the  Man"  (Ila- 
Adam) .  Tliere  were  also  Nephilim,  men  of  vio- 
lence, who  turned  peaceable  society  upside  down. 
The  "Sons  of  God"  (bene-elohim)  were  the  de- 
scendants of  Seth,  and  worshipers  of  God;  the 
"Sons  of  the  Man"  were  descendants  of  Cain, 
and  probably  idolaters.  The  union  of  the  two  fam- 
ilies or  races  produced  a  mixed  condition  of  re- 
ligion, which  could  not  be  pure . 

Another  interpreter  understands  Bene  Elohim 
to  have  been  a  race  distinct  from  Adam's,  and 
dating  long  before  his  ci-eation,  and  therefore  an 
inferior  race,  idolatrous  and  wicked,  and  therefore 
the  name  means  "worshipers  of  false  gods,"  as 
the  Israelites  are  called  children  of  God  the  Father. 
The  daughters  of  men  would  then  be  of  Adam's 
race.  This  supposition  is  against  the  received  text 
in  the  first  three  chapters  of  Genesis.  Anotlicr 
theory  was  long  popular  in  the  Church:  that  the 
"Sons  of  God"  were  angels,  an  intermediate  race 
of  spirits  who  have  the  power  of  assuming  the  hu- 
man form.  But  as  we  have  no  evidence  of  any 
such  appearance  in  our  day  it  is  very  difficult  to 
have  faith  in  the  supposition.  If  we  were  to  re- 
ceive the  Book  of  Enoch  as  inspired,  which  claims 
a  date  of  1000  years  before  the  Flood,  we  sliould 
have  the  record  of  a  belief  in  such  occurrences  in 
that  age,  and  some  excuse  for  such  a  belief  in  our 
day.  But  that  book  is  rejected  by  all  Christians, 
except  the  Abyssinians. 

The  offspring  of  this  mixture  of  races  were  men 
noted  for  strength  and  courage,  Nephilim  (giants 
in  the  A.  V.),  violent  men.  If  the  Nephilim  of 
Canaan  were  descendants  of  tliose  mentioned  in 
Genesis  (vi.  4),  the  fact  is  a  strong  evidence  against 
the  universality  of  the  Deluge  (S(»e  Giants,  Del- 
uge, Genesis).  Noah's  Ark,  and  the  Deluge  are 
described  in  other  places.  The  first  act  of  Noah, 
after  the  Deluge,  and  the  escape  from  the  Ark,  was 
to  build  an  altar,  and  offer  sacrifice  to  God,  of  every 


clean  beast,  and  every  clean  fowl.  New  blessings 
and  new  laws  are  given  to  iium,  especially  concern- 
uig  liuman  life,  isoali's  last  act  was  tlie  cursing  of 
Ham,  and  the  blessing  of  his  other  sons.  Tliis  is 
believed  to  have  been  tlie  origin  of  tlie  color  of  the 
Negro  (sons  of  11am),  aiul  of  the  idolatrous  tend- 
encies of  the  Canaanites.  When  the  sons  of  Israel 
(Shem)  took  possession  of  tlie  country  of  Canaan, 
then  Canaau  became  a  servant  to  Shem;  he  became 
tlie  slave  of  Japliet  when  Tyre  and  Carthage  were 
taken  by  the  Greeks  and  Komans  (Japhet).    For 


DETAILS  AT  MlllMI. 

Japhet  to  dwell  in  the  tents  of  Shem,  was  when 
Japhet  received  the  knowli  'dge  of  the  true  God  from 
Shem,  that  is,  by  the  Hebrew  Scriptures.  Noah 
lived  350  years  after  the  Deluge,  and  must  have 
witnessed  the  confusion  of  tongues,  and  the  disper- 
sion from  Babel.  It  is  supposed  that  he  had  no 
other  children  than  those  named.  See  Genesis,  in 
tlie  History  of  the  Books,  for  a  notice  of  several 
traditions  of  Noah,  and  the  Flood,  in  various  count- 
ries.

or  "wrath,"  (Geu.  xxxix.  19)  suggested  by  hard

NTJM'BER.  Hebraic  numerals  were  denoted  by 
letters.  At  a  later  period  this  was  the  mode  of 
notation,  as  seen  in  the  Maccabsean  coins.  Certain 
numbers  were  used  as  figurative  representations, 
and  not  actual  quantities,  such  as,  7,  10,  40, 100, 
which  represent  completeness.  7  is  thus  used  as 
"seven-fold"  in  Gen.  iv.  24;  seven  times  (meaning 
completely)  in  Lev.  xxv.  24,  and  Ps.  xii.  6 ;  as  also 
the  general  use  of  tlie  nuniber  7.  10  was  a  number 
of  especial  selection.  The  number  12  was  specially 
mystical,  and  is  found  in  manj^  instances;  as  12 
months,  12  tribes,  12  loaves  of  shewbread,  12  disci- 
ples or  apostles.  40  was  also  very  mystical;  as  40 
days  of  Moses;  40  years  in  the  wilderness;  40  days 
and  nights  of  Elijah  in  the  Aviklemess,  and  of 
Jesus  on  the  mount;  40  years  each  the  life  of  sev- 
eral kings  and  judges,  feeventy-fold,  as  in  Gen.  iv. 
24,  Matt,  xviii.  22,  etc.  The  mystic  number  6G6,  in 
Eev.  xiii.  18,  still  remains  the  subject  of  contro- 
versy. One  theory  suggests  the  numerals  to  mean 
Lx.,  in  Gr.  lateinos  (Lat.  latinus),  beast,  or  kingdom.

O 


OAK.  There  are  several  Hebrew  words  which 
are  rendered  oak  in  the  A.  V.,  as  el,  to  be  strong 
(Gen.  xiv.  6);  elah,  terebinth  (Is.  vi.  13);  elon, 
oak  (Gen.  xiu  6);  ilan,  strong  tree  (Dan.  iv.); 
ALLAH,  an  oak  (Josh.  xxiv.  2ti);  allon,  evergreen 
oak  (Hos.  iv.  13).  The  most  noted  trees  were 
Abraham's  oak  at  Mamre,  the  oak  at  Shechem,  of 
Deborah,  Rebekah's  nurse,  of  the  wanderers.  1. 
el  (ael),  to  be  strong  (Gen.  xiv.  6);  the  plural  of 
el  is  ELiM,  also  eloth  and  elath.  Elim  is  the 
name  of  the  place  where  there  were  70  palm  trees, 
the  word  el,  instead  of  meaning  oak,  is  used  in 
that  instance  for  grove,  elim,  groves  (Ex.  xv.  27). 
There  was  also  a  palm  grove  at  Akabah.  In  Is.  i. 
29,  elim  means  oaks,  the  same  word  in  Is.  Ixi.  3, 
and  Ez.  xxxi.  14,  means  any  thrifty,  large  tree. — 2. 
alah,  the  terebinth.  The  most  noted  one  was 
Abraham's  Oak  at  Mamre,  where  the  three  angels 
appeared  to  him.  It  is  now  represented  by  an  oak 
(Thomson  thinks  it  was  an  oak  and  not  the  tere- 
binth) of  the  species  Quercus-pseudo-coccifcra.  (See 
cut  on  pag«  3).— 3.  elon,  some  kind  of  oak.  Trans- 
lated plain  in  the  A.  V.  and  in  the  Targum. — 4. 
ILAN,  strong  tree  (Dan.  iv.,  only),  and  possibly  an 
oak. — 5.  ALLAH,  an  oak  (Josh.  xxiv.  26,  only).— 6. 
ALLON,  evergreen  oak  (IIos.  iv.  13),  and  also  the 
Ilolly-leaved  oak;  the  Hairy-cupped  oak;  the 
priclily-cupped;  the  Kermes,  which  fui'nishe;  the 
insect  used  in  dyes  (Is.  i.  18,  scarlet). 

The  oak  forests  of  Bashan  were  noted  in  the 
earliest  times  (Is.  ii.  13;  Ez.  xxvii.  6;  Zech.  xi.  2), 
and  they  are  still  extensive  and  contain  several 
varieties  of  very  fine  trees.  Besides  these,  there 
are  others  scattered  all  over  the  country, 
both  in  the  hilly  districts  and  on  the  mountains. 
Mount  Carmel,  Anti-Lebanon  (west  slopes),  Leba- 
non (east  slopes,  and  niaiiy  ravines),  and  the  Hill 
Country  of  Galilee  and  Judtea,  are  supplied  with 
scrubby  oaks  10  to  15  feet  high,  bearing  acorns  in 
great  quantities,  useful  for  bread.  Where  the 
ground  is  now  stripped  of  trees  of  all  kinds,  its 
roots  are  often  found  and  dug  for  fuel.  The  largest 
tree  of  this  .species  is  that  near  Hebron,  called 
"Abraham's  Oak,"  which  is  23  feet  in  girth,  and 
shades  a  space  90  feet  across.  The  nut-gall  bear- 
ing oak  is  plentiful  in  Galilee  and  Asia  Minor. 

The  Valonia  oak  is  valuable  for  its  tannin,  con- 
tained in  the  acorn  cups.  It  is  probable  that  this 
was  the  "Oak  of  Bashan"  (Q.  cegilops). 

There  are  many  storied  oaks  in  Palestine.  Ee- 
bekah's  nurse,  Deborali,  was  buried  under  one  at 
Bethel  (Gen.  xxxv.  8)  •  Saul  and  his  sons,  uiuler 
another  in  Jabesh  (1  Chr.  x.  12).  The  national 
covenant  was  commemorated  by  a  monument  un- 
der an  oak  at  Shechem,  by  Joshua  (xxiv.  26);  Ja- 
cob hid  the  stolen  images  under  the  same  tree 
(Gen.  xxxv.  4) ;  Absalom  was  caught  by  his  hair 
in  one  in  Bashan;  Gideon  saw  an  angel  under  an 
oak  in  Ophrah  (Judg.  vi.  11),  and  many  were  the 
shelters  of  altai's  for  both  true  and  false  worship. 
The  Arabs  now  have  a  superstition  that  s])irits, 
jin  (called  Jacob's  daughters),  live  in  oak  trees, 
and  they  hang  rags  of  all  kinds  on  the  branches 
as  charms  against  tliem. 

OATH.  An  appeal  to  Divine  authority  to  ratify 
the  truth  of  an  assertion  (Heb.  vi.  16).  Calling 
God  to  witness,  as,  ' '  God  do  so  to  me,  and  more, 
also,  if,"  etc.  (Ruth  i.  17;  1  Sam.  ii.  17).  Idolators 
swore  by  their  false  gods.  Many  frivolous  forms 
were  used,  as,  "By  the  blood  of  Abel;"  "By  my 
head;"  "By  the  Temple,"  etc.  Jesus  was  asked 
by  the  higli-priest  to  swear,  "By  the  living  God," 
to  the  truth  of  what  he  was  te'aching  of  nimself 
(Matt.  xxvi.  63).  Jesus  is  believed  to  have  prohib- 
ited profane,  and  careless,  or  false  swearing — not 
teUing  the  truth  under  oath.  It  appears  that  Jesus 

fave  testimony  on  oath  before  the  high-priest,  and 
'aul  did  not  teach  against  it  (Gal. i. 20;  ICor.  xv.31;

NUTS  (Botnim  and  Egoz).  Spoken  of  as  among 
the  good  things  of  the  land  to  be  taken  by  Jacob's 
sons  to  propitiate  the  governor  of  Egypt.  This  nut 
was  most  likely  the  Pistacliio.  Bo'I'nim  (Pistachio 
Town),  a  town  of  Gad  (Josh.  xiii.  26),  probably 
derives  its  name  therefrom.  The  word  egoz  occurs 
in  Cant.  vi.  11,  and  probably  means  walnut.  One 
Arabic  term  (derived  from  tne  Persian)  for  walnut 
is  Mws;  another  is  chusf,  which  means  tall  tree. 
Walnuts  were  anciently  very  plenty  around  the 
Sea  of  Galilee.  They  are  still  cultivated  near 
Sidon  as  an  article  of  commerce. 

NYMTHAS  (bridegroom).  A  rich  and  devoted 
Christian  in  Laodicea.  His  house  was  used  as  a 
chapel  (Col.  iv.  15).  Some  ancient  manuscripts 
say  Nyinphas  was  a  woman,  a  view  which  is 
adopted  by  the  Greek  Church.

general  term  for  perfumes,  cosmetics,  for  sub-

OL'IVE.  (Heb.  zayith,  or  zait).  A  tree  from 
15  to  30  ft.  high,  bearing  berries,  smooth,  like  an 
oval  plum,  violet  color  when  ripe,  having  an  oily 
pulp,  and  a  hard,  rough  stone.  The  leaves  are 
like  the  willow,  and  of  a  dull,  olive  green,  on  the 
smooth,  upper  surface,  and  silvery  pale  on  the 
downy,  under  surface.  The  flowers  are  small  and 
white.    See  cut,  p.  37. 

The  body  of  the  tree  dies  at  the  heart  and  stands 
up  on  several  legs  (see  cut  on  page  114).  The  bark 
of  old  trees  is  very  rough,  like  that  on  old  willow 
trees.  They  live  to  a  great  age.  (See  Uethsem- 
ane)  .  A  sacred  olive  tree  was  kept  in  the  court 
of  the  Temple  of  Pandrosus,  on  the  Acropolis, 
Athens;  and  the  allusion  in  Ps.  Iii.  8,  would  imply 
that  they  were  grown  in  the  Temple  Court  on 
Zion. 

The  best  olive-oil  is  now  raised  where,  before  the 
Christian  era,  the  tree  was  almost  unknown,  in 
Italy  and  Spain,  and  where  millions  depend  on  it 
for  half  their  living.  The  trees  are  planted  by 
cuttings.  If  the  slip  is  from  a  wild  olive  it  must 
be  grafted  from  a  good  one.  The  Church  is  a  cul- 
tured olive  tree,  and  Gentilism  a  wild  olive  tree 
(Rom.  xi.  10-24).  The  wild  tree  bears  but  very 
few  berries,  and  scarcely  any  oil  can  be  got  from 
them. 

Olive  orchards  are  as  common  in  the  East  around 
every  village  as  apple  orchards  are  in  the  United 
States.  Anciently  it  was  exported  from  Palestine 
to  Egypt  (Ez.  xxvii.  17;  IIos.  xii.  1).  Moses 
sings  of  "oil  out  of  the  flinty  rock,"  in  one  of  his 
odes  (Deut.  xxxii.  13),  which  indicates  that  then, 
as  now,  the  best  soil  for  the  olive  was  the  chalky 
marl,  witli  flint,  and  just  mould  enough  to  cover 
the  roots.  The  text  may  have  alluded  to  the  oil 
mills  and  presses,  where  the  oil  comes  out  of  the 
rock,  for  the  press  vat  is  often  hollowed  out  of  a 
large  rock. 

The  tree  bears  in  its  seventh  year,  and  a  good 
crop  in  its  fifteenth,  and  continues  to  bear  for  sev- 
eral hundred  years.  The  crop  is  yielded  every 
other  year,  and  a  large  tree  will  produce  from  ten 
to  fifteen  gallons  of  oil.  The  yield  by  the  acre  is 
about  one  hundred  dollars. 

It  is  their  substitute  for  our  butter  and  lard. 
Many  dishes  are  cooked  in  olive  oil.  The  lamp  is 
supplied  with  it ;  and  the  second  pressing  (not  so 
pure),  is  used  in  making  soap.  The  orchards  or 
groves  are  carefully  guarded  near  harvest  time, 
and  the  rulers  announce  the  day  for  gathering  the 
berries,  which  begins  in  October.  The  general 
harvest  is  in  November.  The  trees  are  shaken, 
and  beaten  with  poles,  but  a  few  always  remain 
for  the  gleaning  of  the  poor.  The  .shaking  of  the 
olive  tree  is  a  cold,  wet,  laborious  operation,  as  it 


occurs  in  the  winter,  when  rain  and  cold  winds, 
and  frost  are  frequent. 

OLIVES,  MOUNT  OF  (har-hazzathim,  Zech. 
xiv.  4).  "Before  Jerusalem,  on  the  east."  Re- 
ferred to  as  tlie  "  ascent  of  Olivet "  in  other  places 
(2  Sara.  XV.  30,  etc.)  in  the  Old  Testament,  and  the 
various  changes  of  the  same  in  the  New  (Luke  xix. 
29;  Acts  i.  12).  The  first  mention  of  the  mount  is 
at  the  time  David  fled  over  it,  and  the  last  is  the 
triumphal  progress  of  tlie  Son  of  David  over  its 
slopes.  The  description,  written,  perhaps  over 
2,500  years  ago,  is  now  a  good  one.  It  is  near 
Jerusalem— a  ravine  between  them — olive-trees 
(Neh.  viii.  15;  Mark  xi.  8),  and  gives  a  very  dis- 
tinct view  of  the  Temple  site  and  the  city  from  its 
summit,  where  there  is  now  a  chapel  (2  Sam.  xv. 
23,  32).  Solomon  built  chapels  for  the  worship  of 
Ashtoreth,  Chemosh,  and  Milcom,  heathen  divini- 
ties, on  a  part  of  Olivet  called  the  "  Mount  of  Cor- 
ruption "  (2  K.  xxiii.  13),  which  some  believe  to  be 
the  highest  summit,  where  the  chapel  of  the  As- 
cension now  stands— the  same  spot  that  was  held 
sacred  by  David. 

Olivet  is  a  ridge,  300  feet  higher  than  the  Temple 
site,  and  a  mile  long,  north  and  south,  divided  into 
three  or  four  summits,  which  are  named — com- 
mencing at  the  noi-th- 1.  Viri  Galilpei,  also  Vine- 
yard of  the  Sportsman;  2.  Ascension,  by  the  Arabs 
Jebel  et  Tur;  3.  Prophets;  and  4,  Offense,  Arab 
Baten  el  Raioa,  Belly  of  the  Winds.  During  the 
middle  ages  the  mount  was  dotted  all  over  with 
chapels,  or  monuments  of  some  kind,  marking  the 
localities  selected  as  the  sites  of  interesting  events 
recorded  in  Scripture;  among  which  are  the  tombs 
of  the  Virgin,  Joachim,  and  Anna,  near  Gethsem- 
ane  (in  which  are  the  Cave  of  Christ's  Prayer  and 
Agony,  the  rock  on  which  the  tliree  disciples  slept, 
and  the  place  of  the  capture  of  Christ;  spot  on 
which  the  Virgin  witnessed  the  stoning  of  Stephen; 
where  her  girdle  dropped  at  the  time  of  her  As- 
sumi^tion;  where  Jesus  wept  over  the  city  (Luke 
xix.  41);  where  Jesus  first  said  the  Lord's  Prayer 
— (the  Beatitudes  were  also  pronounced  here); 
where  the  woman  taken  in  adultery  was  brought 
to  him;  Tombs  of  the  Prophets  (containing  Hag- 
gai  and  Zeehariah);  cave  in  which  the  Apostles 
wrote  the  Creed;  where  Christ  spoke  of  the  judg- 
ment to  come;  Cave  of  St.  Pelagia,  and  of  Huldah, 
the  prophetess;  Place  of  the  Ascension;  where  the 
Virgin  was  warned  of  her  death  by  an  angel;  spot 
from  which  the  Apostles  witnessed  the  Ascension 
(viri  Galilgei=men  of  Galilee);  where  the  three 
Marys  saw  Jesus  after  his  resurrection.  All  of 
these  places  on  the  side  toward  the  city.  On  the 
slopes,  south  and  east,  the  place  of  the  barren  fig- 
tree;  Bethphage;  Bethany  (house  of  Lazarus,  and 
the  cave,  or  tomb);  stone  on  which  Christ  sat 
when  Mary  and  Martha  saw  him.  Only  three  of 
these  command  our  special  attention — Gethsemane, 
the  place  of  the  Lamentation,  and  the  place  of 
Ascension.  (See  Gethsemane).  Stanley  says 
that  the  Lord's  "  triumphal  entry  "  must  have  been 
on  the  road,  not  over  the  summit,  but  the  longer 
and  easier  route  round  the  south  shoulder  of  the 
mount  (between  the  summit  called  the  Prophets 
and  that  called  the  Mt.  of  Corruption),  which  has 
the  peculiarity  of  presenting  two  successive  views 
of  the  city,  just  before  and  after  passing  a  slight 
elevation  "in  the  path.  Ezekiel  mejitions  Olivet  in 
his  wonderful  vision  (xi.  23) ;  and  Zeehariah  says 
of  the  Messiah,  "His  feet  shall  stand  in  that  day 
(of  the  destruction  of  Jerusalem)  on  the  Mount 
of  Olives  "  (xiv.  4). 

Jesus  stood  somewhere  on  its  brow  when  he  pre- 
dicted the  overthrow  of  the  city  (Mark  xiii.  1). 

The  whole  mount  is  now  called  by  the  Jews 
Har-hammishkah,  mount  of  corruption  or  destruo- 
tion.

(see  map,  p.  151).  The  second  passes  the  Cave  of 
Pelasia,  in  '<^  <lirect  course  up  the  mount  to  the 
church  and  vilhif^e.  The  third  runs  near  the  Tomb 
of  the  Prophets  and  ends  at  the  same  village.  The 
fourth  is  the  road  to  Bethany  and  Jericho,  and 
passes  between  the  Mt.  of  Ottense  and  the  Tomb 
of  the  Prophets.  This  is  now,  as  it  must  have 
been  anciently,  the  usual  route  for  caravans  and 
all  large  parties.  Coming  from  Bethany  you  may 
get  two  views  of  the  city:  the  first,  of  tlie  southeast 
corner  of  the  Temple  site  and  Zion.  The  road  then 
descends  a  slight  declivity,  and  the  city  is  hid  be- 
hind a  ridge  of  Olivet.  A  few  rods  further  the 
path  rises  steeply  up  to  a  ledge  of  smooth  rock, 
where  the  whole  city  is  seen  in  one  view.  It  is  al- 
most the  only  really  authentic  spot  on  Olivet  or 
near  Jerusalem  that  is  not  marked  by  a  church, 
chapel  or  tower,  and  is  the  only  one  that  is  located 
without  controversy  (see  view,  p  154).

ft.  high,  and  covered  with  hieroglyphics)  being  left 
of  the  former  splendors  of  the  place.  The  emperor 
Augustus  carried  a  great  many  works  of  art,  and 
an  obelisk  from  this  city  to  Roriie;  and  Constantine 
adorned  Constantinople  from  the  same  source.

(See  History  of  the  Books).  Onesimus  left 
Rome  in  the  company  of  Tychicus,  carrying  the 
epistles  to  Philemon,  to  the  Colossians,  and  Ephe-

O'HO  (strong).  Built  by  the  sons  of  Elpaal.  In 
Benjamin  (1  Chr.  viii.  12).  725  of  the  people  of 
Lod,  Hadid,  andOno  returned  from  Babylon  (Ezr. 
ii.  33).  There  was  a  plain  near  the  city  (Neh.  vi. 
2),  where  Nehemiah  was  invited  j^but  he  declined) 
five  times  to  come  to  a  village  in  it  to  meet  Sanbal- 
lat.    Bait  Anna,  4>^  ms.  N.  of  Lud. 

ONY'CHA  (Heb.  sheheleth,  or  shecheleth)  . 
The  origin  of  our  word  shell.  The  Hebrew  word 
is  only  mentioned  in  Ex.  xxx.  34,  as  an  ingredient 
of  the  sacred  perfume.  This  word  has  been  vari- 
ously rendered— As  the  horny  lid  closing  the  open 
part  of  a  shell,  a  kind  of  moUusk.  Gosse  thinks  it 
was  some  gum  resin,  as  all  marine  animals,  except 
fish  with  fins  and  scales,  were  unclean.

O'NYX  (Heb.  shoham).  See  Precious  Stones. 

O'PHEL.  A  part  of  ancient  Jerusalem,  first 
mentioned  as  having  its  wall  built  "much"  upon 
by  Jotham  (2  Chr.  xxvii.  3).  Manasseh  enclosed 
it  with  a  wall  (xxxiii.  14).  It  was  near  the  water- 
gate  (Neh.  iii.  26),  and  a  great  corner-tower  (v. 
27).  Josephus  calls  it  Ophla  (Ant.  ix.  11,  2 ;  B.  J. 
ii.  17,  9).  The  prophet  Micah  (iv.  8)  calls  Ophel 
the  daughter  of  Zion,  which  would  indicate  that 
Zion  was  the  Temple-site,  for  Ophel  is  the  hill  S.  of 
the  S.  wall  of  the  Temple.— 2.  The  Ophel  of  2  K. 
V.  24,  was  the  residence  of  the  prophet  Elisha,  to 
which  Gehazi  returned  after  begging  a  present 
from  Naaman,  near  Samaria.

It  was  in  Arabia  (Gen.  x.  29),  where  several  sons 
of  Joktan  settled,  giving  their  names  to  regions  or 
tribes.  Sophir  is  the  form  of  the  name  in  the  Sep- 
tuagint  and  Josephus.  The  gold,  silver,  precious 
stones,  ivory,  apes,  peacocks,  and  almug-wood  are 


Indian  articles,  but  may  have  been  imported  there. 
Jeremiah  (x.  9)  and  Daniel  (x.  5),  say  gold  of 
Uphaz,  probably  meaning  Ophir.  On  the  snore  of 
the  Red  Sea,  in  Arabia.

retired  to  this  obscure  place,  after  the  miracle  of 
raising  Lazarus,  with  his  disciples  (John  xi.  64).

disaster  in  which  Oreb  and  Zeeb  lost  their  lives

vii.  25;  Is.  x.  26).  Not  far  from  Bethshemesh,  on

them,  rich  or  poor,  and  as  many  as  their  means 
permit.  If  gold  cannot  be  had,  then  silver,  or 
brass,  or  tin,  or  glass,  is  used.  Engraved  gems 
were  in  use  only  by  the  most  wealthy  and  educated. 
These  bore  besides  the  words  or  letters,  figures  of 
gods  or  mythical  animals,  or  the  portraits  of  rela-

intended  tor  food  for  the  young  brood.  The  sup- 
posed cruel  habit  of  the  bird  is  used  as  a  type  of 
the  cruelty  and  indifference  of  the  Hebrews  (Lam. 
iv.  3;  Job" xxxix.  16).  This  .supposition  is  an  error, 
for  the  ostrich  cares  for,  and  defends  its  young,  even 
risking  its  own  life.  The  brood  numbers  20  to  30, 
are  gray  when  young,  and  can  run  at  onse.  The 
old  birds  are  black  and  white.  The  valued  plumes 
are  pure  white.  They  are  easily  tamed,  and  will 
live  among  the  goats  and  camels.  The  Arabs  hang 
great  numbers  of  the  eggs  in  their  mosques,  and

also  use  them  for  cups,  jars,  etc.  When  chased 
they  run  in  a  circle,  and  can  run  a  mile  in  about  2'. 
By  running  inside  the  circle,  the  horse  gains  on  the 
ostrich,  and  comes  up  with  him.

OTH'NIEL  {lion  of  El).  Descendant  of  Kenaz, 
and  brother  of  Caleb  1  (Josh.  xv.  17).  He  is 
first  mentioned  as  the  captor  of  Kirjath-Sepher 
(Debir),  near  Hebron,  where  he  won  his  wife  (his 
niece  Achsah),  as  a  prize  for  leading  the  attack 
(Josh.  xiv.  12-15 ;  see  Achsah).  He  is  next  called 
to  be  a  judge  (Judg.  iii.  9),  holding  the  office  40 
years,  or  giving  the  nation  rest  in  peace  for  that 
time. 

OTHONI'AS.  Error  for  Mattaniah  (Ezr.  x.  27),

cer).    (Ex.  xxviii.  11,  13,  xxxix.  6,  etc.). 

OVEN  (Heb.  tannur).  The  ovens  in  the  East 
are  of  two  kinds.  The  stationary  ones  are  found 
only  in  towns,  where  regular  bakers  are  employed 
(Hos.  vii.  4).  The  portable  ones  consist  of  a  large 
jar  made  of  clay,  three  feet  high,  larger  at  the 
bottom,  with  a  hole  for  removing  the  ashes. 
Every  house  possesses  such  an  article  (Ex.  viii.  3). 
It  was  heated  with  twigs,  grass  or  -vyood  (Matt.  vi. 
30),  sometimes  with  dung,  and  the  loaves  were

xi.  17  and  Deut.  xiv.  16.  Probably  not  known  in 
Palestine,  but  a  native  of  Egypt.  In  Is.  xxxiv.  11 
it  is  mentioned  in  the  desolation  of  Idumsea 
(Edom).  3.  cos  {cup),  little  owl  (Lev.  xi.  17,

the  vicinity  (and  even  in  the  city)  of  Jerusalem. 
LiLiTH,  screech-owl,  in  Is.  xxxiv.  14.  The  lilith 
was  to  the  Hebrews  what  the  ghost  or  ghoul  is  to 
the  Arab,  a  "night-monster,"  and  so  they  called 
the  screech-owl  by  that  name.

sibly the  ORYX.    Stall-fed  cattle  are  alluded  to  in 


Prov.  XV.  17,  and  1  K.  iv.  23.  The  cattle  on  the 
monuments  are  long-horned,  short-horned,  polled, 
or  muley,  besides  the  Abyssinian;  and  of  every 
variety  in  color,  as  ours  are.  (Seep.  10).  The 
ox  was  the  most  important  of  all  animals  to  the 
ancient  Hebrews  (as  well  as  nearly  all  other  na- 
tions). They  were  used  for  plowing  (Deut.  xxi. 
10) ;  threshing  grain  (Mic.  iv.  13) ;  for  draught  (1 
Sam.  vi.  7);  to  carry  burdens  (1  Chr.  xii.  40),  and 
riders;  their  flesh  was  eaten  (1  K.  i.  9);  they  were 
used  for  sacrifice,  and  the  cow  supplied  milk,  but- 
ter, tallow,  hides,  etc.  The  law  contains  many 
favorable  clauses  for  its  protection  from  misuse, 
abuse,  starvation,  and  cruelty,  and  providing  for 
its  well-being,  food  and  rest.  The  Hebrews  did 
not  castrate  animals,  but  used  them  in  their  natural 
condition.  Cattle  grazing  in  distant  pastures  often 
became  quite  wild,  as  in  Ps.  xxii.  13.  The  present 
cattle  in  Palestine  are  small  in  size,  and  not  good 
in  quality.  The  buffalo  is  common  now,  and  it  was 
known  anciently.  The  habits  of  this  animal  very 
nearly,  if  not  entirely,  answer  the  points  in  the 
text  of  Job  xl.  15-24.  They  frequent  the  muddy 
pools,  and  the  swift  stream  of  Jordan,  avoiding 
insects  by  keeping  entirely  under  water,  excepi 
their  eyes  and  nose,  under  the  covert  of  the  reeds 
and  willows.  They  are  trained  to  the  plow,  and 
are  much  stronger  than  the  ox.

field,  or  ploughed  land.  The  wife  of  the  heir  of 
the  promise  was  sought  here;  and  it  was,  probably, 
near  Damascus,  only  a  few  days'  journey  from 
where  Abraham  was  living,  and  not  many  weeks' 
(or  months')  travel,  far  away  in  Mesopotamia

This  title  is  obscure,  but  in  1  Chr.  iv.  22  allusion  is 
made  to  a  family  of  Shilonites,  of  the  tribe  of 
Judah,  who  once  had  dominion  in  Moab.  The 
family  was  of  exalted  rank,  as  is  shown  by  its 
appearing  fourth  in  the  lists  of  both  Ezr.  ii.  6,  and 
Neh.  vii.  11.  Among  the  lay  princes  Pa'hath-

PALACE 


229 


PALESTINE 


PAL' ACE.  The  buildings,  court-yards,  etc.,  en- 
closed within  the  walls  of  a  royal  residence.  The 
particular  allusion  to  palace  is  that  by  the  llerods, 
which  was  afterwards  the  residence  of  the  lioman 
governor  or  pnetor,  hence  it  was  called  in  Greek 
Pretoriuni.  Christ  was  brought  before  the  Roman 
procurator,  Pontius  Pilate,  in  this  palace  (Mark. 
XV.  IG).  The  most  celebrated  palace  mentioned 
in  the  Scriptures,  is  that  of  Solomon,  a  detailed 
description  of  which  occurs  in  1  K.  vii.  1-12,  and 
in  Josephus  (Ant.  viii.  5,  1,  2).  The  Palace  of 
Solomon  was  m  the  city  on  Mount  Zion,  opposite 
the  Temple.  It  is  estimated  to  have  covered  some 
150,000  or  160,000  square  feet.  The  first  of  the 
buildings  upon  entering,  was  "the  House  of  the 
Forest  of  Lebanon."  This  was  a  hall  so  named 
from  the  cedars  of  Lebanon,  worked  into  pillars  and 
beams  of  which  there  were  rows  (1  K.  vii.  2). 
The  dimensions  were  150  feet  long  by  75  feet  in 
width  and  thirty  high.  This  was  the  audience 
chamber.  The  next  building  of  importance  was 
the  Hall  of  Judgment  (1  K.  vii.  7),  75  feet  square. 
There  was  also  a  colonnade  on  "The  Porch,"  75 
by  45  feet,  used  for  reception  and  for  the  transac- 
tion of  ordinary  business. 

There  was  further  the  inner  court,  with  gardens 
and  fountains,  and  accommodation  for  the  harem 
officers  of  the  court  and  guard. 

PA'LAL  (judge).  Son  of  Uzai,  who  assisted  at 
the  Jerusalem  walls  (Neh.  ill.  25). 

PALESTINE,  PALJSSTI'NA  The  translation  of 
the  Heb.  pelesheth,  which  is  found  only  four 
times,  and  always  in  poetical  passages  in  the  O. 
T.  (Ex.  XV.  14;  Is.  xiv.  29,  31;  Joel  ui.  4).  The 
same  word  is  translated  "Phihstia"  in  Ps.  Ix.  8, 
Ixxxiii.  7,  Ixxxvii.  4,  cviii.  9.  The  two  words  were 
synonymous  at  the  time  our  version  was  made,  and 
Palestine  in  the  Scriptures  means  only  so  much  of 
the  country  as  we  now  call  Phihstia. 

On  the  Assyrian  monuments  there  is  a  country 
described  as  palaztu  on  the  West  Sea,  separate 
from  Tyre,  Damascus,  Samaria  and  Edom.  The 
Egyptians  wrote  it  at  Karnak  pulusattj.  The 
Greeks  called  it  Philistine  Syria.  Jerome  (A.  D. 
400),  also  restricts  the  name  to  Phihstia,  and  is 
followed  by  Procopius. 

In  our  day  the  name  is  used  of  the  whole  coun- 
try, including  all  that  the  Jews  or  Hebrews  ever 
occupied. 

It  was  originally  called  The  Land  of  Canaan, 
low  land  (as  compared  to  the  high  plateaus  of 
Bashan  and  Gilead,  Ps.  cv.  11).  The  land  of  the 
Hebrews  in  Gen.  xl.  15,  only.  The  land  of  the 
Hittites  in  Josh.  i.  4,  and  chetu  or  chita  on  the 
Egvjitian  monuments. 

The  name  Holy  Lajtd  (ta-netr)  is  as  old  as 
the  Pharaoh  Rameses  II,  and  Thothmes  III.  The 
Phoenicians  called  their  ow'n  country  Holy  Land, 
and  the  Egyptians  may  have  borrowed  the  term, 
which  argues  that  the  idea  of  Holy  Land  belonged 
to  the  country  before  the  Hebrews  took  possession, 
and  is  the  most  generally  known  now. 

The  Land  of  Israel  (1  Sam.  xiii.  19),  land  of  Jah 
(Hos.  ix.  3),  the  holy  land  (Zech.  ii.  12),  and  the 
glorious  land  (Dan.  xi.  41),  were  names  in  use 
during  the  monarchy. 

There  is  no  record  of  any  division  of  the  land, 
except  the  names  of  the  several  peoples  inhabiting 
it,  until  the  12  tribes  took  possession,  when  the 
several  divisions  were  knovra  by  the  names  of  the 
tribes. 

After  the  Captivity  (if  not  before,  2  Chr.  ix.  11), 
it  was  called  Judgea,  meaning  the  land  of  the  Jews. 
The  Romans  divided  it  into  Galilee,  Samaria, 
Judaea,  Perea,  and  gave  names  and  limits  to  the 
surrounding  country;  as  Phoenicia,  Cjoele-Syria, 
Lysania,  Hauran,  Edom,  etc. 

The  land  is  about  140  ms.  (Ban  to  Beersheba) 
long,  and  40  ms.  average  width,  between  the 
Jordan  valley  and  the  West  Sea;  fenced  in  by  this 


valley  on  the  east,  the  Lebanon  on  the  north,  the 
desert  on  the  south,  and  the  Great  Sea  on  the 
west.  The  whole  of  this  district  is  high  land,  from 
100  to  3000  feet  above  the  sea  level.  The  divisions 
are  into  Plain,  Hill  Country,  Jordan  Valley,  and 
Mountains;  each  almost  a  strip  from  north  to  south, 
with  a  distinct  history  as  well  as  structure. 

1.  The  Plains  lie  along  the  shore  of  the  Great 
Sea;  are  narrow  at  the  north,  and  become  wider 
southward,  and  are  elevated  from  100  to  500 
feet;  the  surface  sandy,  rolling,  with  few  forest 
trees,  but  many  orcnards,  vines  and  shru)}s, 
watered  by  brooks,  fed  by  fountains.  The  great 
plain  of  Esdraelon  cuts  the  country  into  two  sec- 
tions, between  Galilee  and  Samaria.  There  are  no 
safe  harbors  on  the  coast,  and  only  a  few  such  as 
they  are,  at  Tripolis,  Jebail,  Beirut,  Acre,  Joppa. 
Tyre  and  Sidon  have  almost  entirely  lost  their  har- 
bors with  sand  which  comes  across  from  the  great 
Sahara  desert,  and  is  destroying  all  the  harbors, 
and  creeping  inland  in  many  places,  as  at  Beirut, 
Askulan,  and  Gaza. 

2.  The  Hill  Country,'on  both  sides  of  the  Jordan 
is  elevated  from  1000  to  4000  feet,  has  a  few  iso- 
lated peaks,  and  many  deep  ravines.  The  torrents 
flow  mostly  in  winter,  and  there  are  many  foun- 
tains and  wells,  and  two  rivers,  Kishon  and 
Leontes. 

Galilee  is  about  20  miles  wide, 
undulating,  with  plains,  and 
several  mountain  peaks,  as 
Safed,  Jermuk  (4000),  Hattin, 
Kaukab,  Tabor  and  Gilboa, 
rugged  and  sharp,  with  forests 
of  oak,  terebinth,  thorns,  and ' 
fruit  orchards.  The  whole  re- ' 
gion  is  carpeted  with  flowers 
in  the  rainy  season.  The  dews 
of  Hermon  increase  the  length 
of  the  green  season  and  con- 
tinues its  freshnes's  long  af- 
ter the  southern  section  is 
dried  up.  Tlrere  are  many 
brooks  flowing  the- year  round, 
numerous  fountains,  and  few 
wells. 

Carmel  rises  from  the  sea,  south  of  Esdraelon 
(see  Carmel),  joins  the  hills  of  Samaria,  which 
extend  south  through  Judsea  to  the  desert.  (See 
Ephraim  and  Samaria).  The  hill -tops  are 
rounder  than  those  in  Galilee,  and  weU  wooded. 
The  noted  peaks  are  Gerizim,  Ebal,  Samaria, 
Jedua,  Haskin,  Farsi  and  Kurn  Surtabeh,  none  of 
which  are  very  high.  The  noted  valleys  (or 
plains)  are  Mukhna,  6  miles  long  by  one  wide  ; 
Sanur,  2  miles  ;  Kubatiyeh,  2}4,  and  Dothan,  2}^ 
miles.  Orchards  and  groves  of  fruit  are  numer- 
ous, and  the  soil  is  excellent  for  raising  grain. 

The  hdlls  of  Judtea  are  drier,  with  fewer  foun- 
tains or  permanent  brooks,  and  the  soil  is  poorer 
and  less  productive  than  Gahlee  or  Samaria,  which 
are  nearer  the  mountains.  There  are  few  plains 
and  no  high  peaks.  The  forests  are  few,  shrubs 
many,  and  orchards  and  vineyards  are  cultivated 
extensively. 

The  country  S.  of  Hebron  and  Beersheba  is  called 
the  South  (negeb).  In  the  hot  season  it  isdry  and 
parched,  hot  and  dusty,  but  the  first  rains  bring  up 
the  grass,  and  start  the  fresh  leaf  on  the  trees,  and 
all  through  the  winter  it  is  a  delightfully  fresh  and 
green  pasture.  Very  few  orchards  and  vineyards; 
fountains  are  rare,  and  wells  numerous,  with  no 
running  brooks,  all  being  winter-torrents.  Very 
httle  grain  is  raised.  See  Gilead,  Hauran.  3.  The 
mountains  are  a  continuation  of  Lebanon,  on  the  W. 
of  Jordan,  and  of  Anti- Lebanon  on  the  E.,  ending 
at  Hebron  and  Kerak,  nearly.  The  highest  peaks 
in  both  ranges  are  N.  of  thi?  Holy  Land,  on  each 
side  of  the  Leontes  river.  On  Lebanon  there  are 
Dhor  ei  Khodib  (thor  el  kodib),  10,051  ft. ;  Sunnin,

8,500;  Keniseh,  6,824;  and  Tomat  Niha  {twirirpeaks) 
6,500;  on  Anti-Lebanon,  Mt.  Hermon,  10,000-  the 
range  runs  N.  E.,  and  varies  in  liight  from  4  500 
to  7000  ft.    The  peaks  S.  of  Hermon  are,  Osha 


5000,  near  Es  Salt  (Ramoth  Gilead);  Nebo,  4,600, 
near  Heshbon;  and  Zumla,  E.  of  Gilead,  about  4000 
to  5000  ft.  4.  The  most  remarkable  feature  of  Pal- 
estine is  the  valley  of  the  Jordan,  the  ancient  Ara- 
bah  (see  Akabah;  Dead  Sea;  Jordan). 
Geology.    The  great  masses  of  rock  under  the 


country  are  limestone,  having  few  fossils.    Over 
that  there  is  a  white  cretaceous  deposit  full  of  fos- 
sils, flints,  ammonites,  echinites  (cidaris,  petrified 
ohves),  fish,  and  others.    This  deposit  is  most  no- 
ticeable  on  the 
western  slopes  of 
Lebanon,  and  the 
eastern   slopes  of 
Anti-Lebanon. 
Geodes    of     chal- 
cedony, from    an 
oz.  weight  to  a  100 
ft)s.,  are  numerous 
in  Galilee,  besides 
jasper  and  agate. 
Soft,  friable  sand- 
stone, is  found  in 
extensive  beds  in 
both  ranges.  Coal 
is  found  near  Bei- 
rut, in  thin  veins, 
and  of  poor  quali- 
ty.   Iron  and  cop- 
per    mines    were 
worked   anciently 
(Deut.     viii.      9, 
xxxiii.    25;    Euse- 
bius  viii.  15,    17). 
There     are     two 
kinds  of  limestone, 
the  lower,  white, 
and     the     upper, 
creamy,    with 
streaks.  The  great 
quarry  under  Je- 
rusalem (cut  on  p. 
162),  affords  both 
kinds.    The  white 
(Arabic   melekeh) 
is     chalky,      and 
may  be  easily  cut, 
and     sawed    into 
blocks;    the   dark 
(Ar.     mezzeh)    is 
much  harder,  and 
takes  a  fine  polish. 
Many  of  the  caves 
are  in   limestone, 
some  of  which,  as 
those  in  the  north, 
at  Paneas,  and  on 
the  Dog  river,  are 
immense     foun- 
tains.     Many  are 
used    for    storing 
grain,    etc.,     and 
some    for    dwell- 
ings.    The  chalk 
deposits  are  found 
on  summits  only, 
N.  of  Hebron,  as 
at  Olivet,  Bethle- 
hem, Carmel,  etc. ; 
S.  of  Hebron  it  is

of  Jordan.  The  chalk  is  of  not  so  recent  a  de- 
posit on  the  E.  of  Jordan,  and  is  capped  with  a 
soft,  friable  sandstone,  without  fossils.  The  Ab- 
arini  mountains  are  different,  being  sandstone, 
capped  witli  chalk,  bearing  fossils.  The  red  sand- 
stone appears  at  Kerak.  Both  the  sandstone  and 
the  limestone,  on  the  E.  are  of  an  earlier  age  than 
those  on  the  W.  of  Jordan.  At  Zurka  Main,  and 
at  Wady  Mojib,  they  form  cliffs  400  ft.  high.  From 
Hermon  to  Kerak  the  whole  region  is  limestone ; 
1000  ft.  higher  than  Canaan,  W.  of  Jordan. 

Earth«^uake8  have  been  frequent,  even  in  the 
historical  period,  the  most  noted,  since  tiiat  in  the 
days  of  Uzziah,  being  those  at  Aleppo,  in  1616 — 
1812 ;  Antiooh,  17:57 ;  Laodicea,  Beirut,  Sidon, 
Tyre,  Sated,  and  Tiberias,  1837.  The  principal 
sources  of  lava- streams  on  the  E.  of  Jordan  were 
at  Phiala  (so  called),  on  Hermon,  which  is  an  ex- 
tinct crater,  now  full  of  water;  Tell  Abu  Tumeis; 
Kuleib;  and  El  llish,  on  Jebel  llauran,  from  which 
streams  flowed  over  the  whole  district  bounded  by 
the  Pharpar,  the  Jordan,  and  the  Yarmuk.  The 
Yarmuk  was  once  dammed  up  by  the  stream  from 
Phiala,  and  has  made  a  new  channel  through  the 
limestone  beside  the  black  basalt.  There  are  many 
extinct  craters  in  the  llauran  (see  Trachonitis, 
Argob).  Lava  and  basalt  have  been  traced  east- 
ward over  the  sunnnits  of  Jebel  Hauran  (Alsada- 
mum),  but  have  not  been  followed  beyond  El  Hish 
and  Salcah.  Basalt  underlies  Esdraelon,  extending 
through  the  district  bounded  by  Delata  on  the  N. 
Tiberias  on  the  E.,  Tabor  on  the  S.,  and  Turanand 
Sef  uriyeh  on  the  W.  One  centre  of  eruption  was  at 
Hattin — the  most  ancient — which  sent  out  a  stream 
of  dark,  iron-gi'ey,  solid,  and  massive  basalt,  towards 
the  Sea  of  Galilee,  forming  cliffs  near  Tiberias,  500 
ft.  high,  overlaying  limestone ;  and  another,  more 
recent,  from  three  craters  near  Safed,  El  Jish,  Tai- 
teba,  and  Delata,  which  poured  out  a  dark  brown 
and  a  reddish-grey  lava — porous.  The  Arabah  is  a 
deep  ditch,  from  Hermon  to  the  Red  Sea,  with  a 
dividing  ridge  (see  Akrabbim)  just  S.  of  the  Dead 
Sea.  The  width  is  an  average  of  10  ms.,  and  the 
surface  is  everywhere  below  the  ocean  level ;  being 
deepest  at  the  Dead  Sea,  where  it  is  1312  ft.  below 
in  the  wet,  and  5  or  6  ft.  lower  in  the  dry  season. 
Tertiary  and  alluvial  deposits  are  found  in  the  val- 
ley, along  the  whole  course  of  the  Jordan,  and  on 
both  shores  of  the  Dead  Sea,  at  the  mouths  of  the 
rivers.  There  are  two  terraces  of  chalky  marl:  the 
upper  extending  across  from  side  to  side,  between 
the  mountains,  and  the  lower,  50  to  150  ft.  below; 
forming  a  ditch  in  which  the  river  has  worn  a  still 
lower  channel  of  10  or  20  ft.  deep.  The  whole  plain 
is  worn  into  rounded  knolls,  by  water  from  the 
high  land  on  both  sides;  most  distinctly  seen  on  the 
edges  of  the  terraces. 

The  strata  exposed  are  limestone,  rolled  bould- 
ers, pebbles  of  Sint,  sandstone,  tufas,  marl,  chalky 
deposits,  pure  chalk,  conglomerates,  sand,  gravel, 
clay  and  detritus.  South  of  Massada  there  are 
tall,  conical  knolls,  shaped  like  hay-stacks,  with 
pointed  tops. 

The  shores  of  the  Dead  Sea  are  cut  down  on  all 
sides,  through  crystalline  rocks,  into  ravines,  600 
to  1200  feet  deep,  with  traces  of  extinct  waterfalls 
and  other  evidences  of  remote  antiquity.  '  At 
Wady  Derejeh  there  are  eight  terraces  of  gravel, 
marking  different  beaches,  one  above  another — the 
highest  44  feet  above  the  present  level.  There  is 
no  evidence  that  the  Dead  Sea  was  ever  connected 
with  either  the  Mediterranean  or  the  Red  Sea;  but 
it  was  at  one  time  350  feet  higher  than  at  present,  if 
not  540,  as  we  may  learn  from  the  chalky  deposits  at 
Wady  Hasasah.  The  ocean  level  is  marked  very 
distinctly  all  around  the  sea,  indicating  that  there 
has  been  no  general  disturbance  since  the  present 
arrangement  of  strata  was  completed.  See  Mt. 
Seir,  Mt.  Sinai,  Red  Sea  ;  also,  Climate, 
Flowers,  Trees. 


TEMPLE  OF   DIANA. 


Mr.  Tristam  described  322  species  of  birds 
gathered  by  him  and  his  party,  and  now  safely 
deposited  by  him  in  a  nmseum  in  London.  Swim- 
mers and  waders  were  not  well  represented  ;  27 
species  are  native  to  Palestine,  lie  caught  an 
ostrich  in  the  Belka,  east  of  the  Dead  Sea.  (See 
the  articles  on  the  name  of  each  bird).  The  whole 
country  abounds  in  birds  of  every  kind  known  in 
the  temperate  zone.  Caged  birds  are  found  in 
almost  every  house. 

Fish  are  caught  in  great  plenty  on  the  Great  Sea 
and  in  Galilee;  and  one  at  least  of  its  varieties  is 
painted  on  the  monuments  in  Egypt. 

Reptiles  are  abundant,  especially  lizards,  tortoi- 
ses, geckos  and  chameleons.  The  connnon  frog 
and  tree  -toad  abound  in  wet  places.  Snakes  are 
not  very  numerous,  and  none  large.  There  are  3 
species  of  scorpion.  MoUusks  are  very  numerous, 
in  more  than  a  hundred-varieties.  Butterflies  are 
as  numerous,  in  proportion^  as  the  flowers.

PALM'ERIST  (  palm  of  Christ).  Castor-oil  plant 
(Jon.  iv.  6). 

PALMER-WORM.  A  voracious,  hairy  caterpillar, 
which  does  great  damage  to  fruit-trees,  and  other 
vegetation  (Joel  i.  4). 

PALMO'NI  ( ' '  that  certain  ").  An  expression  used 
to  designate  a  person  without  calling  him  by  name 
(Dan.  viii.  13). 

PALM-TREE  (Heb.  tamar;  Gr.  phoinix).  The 
variety  most  common  in  the  East  is  the  date-palm 
(phmiix  dactylifera) .  The  palm-tree  was  always 
associated  with  Palestine;  the  name  Phoenix  being 
probably  derived  from  Phoenicia.  The  coins  of  Ves- 
pasian, commemorating  the  conquest  of  Jerusalem 
by  Titus,  represent  a  woman  of  Judsea,  weeping 
under  a  palm-tree.  The  date-palm  is  endogenous 
(growing  from  the  end) ;  its  average  hight  is  about 
70  ft.  About  8  yrs.  after  being  planted,  it  yields 
fruit,  averaging  about  lOOlbs.,  and  continues  pro- 
ductive for  100  yrs.  Dates  take  the  place  of  bread 
to  a  large  extent  in  the  East,  and  all  the  other  parts 
of  the  tree  are  used  for  building,  fencing,  roofs, 
mats,  baskets,  couches,  bags,  etc.  There  is  a  saying 
with  the  Arabs  that  "The  palm-tree  has  .360  uses. " 
Jericho,  "  The  City  of  Palm-Trees  "  (Dent.  xxiv. 
3;  Judg.  i.  16,  iii.  13).  The  palm-groves  of  Jericho 
were  always  famous.    See  page  209. 

Haze'zon-Tamar  (the  pruning  of  the  palm- 
tree).  Is  alluded  to  in  Gen.  xlv.  7,  and  in  2  Chr.  xx. 
2.  Tamar  (the  palm),  in  the  vision  of  Ezeki(>l 
(Ez.  xlvii.  19,  xlviii.  28).  BEtnAfiY  (the  house  of 
dates)  suggests  that  there  were  palms  in  the  district 
of  the  Mt.  of  Olives,  whence  the  people  "took 
branches  of  palm-trees  and  went  forth  to  meet 
Him  "  (John  xii.  13) :  "  Dwelt  under  the  palm-tree 
of  Deborah"  (Judg.  iv.  5).  Women  were  named 
after  the  palm-tree,  as  the  wife  of  Er,  named  Ta- 
mar (Gen.  xxxviii ;  also  in  2  Sam.  xiii.  1,  and  xiv. 
27).  Its  form  used  in  decoration  in  the  Temple  (2 
Chr.  iii.  5;  1  K.  vi.  29,  32,  35,  vii.  36),  and  in  Eze- 
kiel's  vision  (Ez.  xl.  16,  xli.  18).  "The  righteous 
shall  flourish  like  the  palm-tree"  (Ps.  xcii.  12).  Its 
grace — the  lofty  and  ever-green  foliage,  cresting 
the  top  of  the  tree,  near  to  heaven— all  suggest 
abundant  illustration.  The  Jews  commemorated 
victories  by  carrying  palms  (1  Mace.  xiii.  51;  Esd.

PALSY,  (Gt.  paralusis,  relaxation).  An  aboli- 
tion of  function,  whether  of  intellect,  special  sen- 
sation, or  voluntary  motion. 

To  destroy  action  or  energy;  a  disabling  of  the 
nerves  of  a  part  of  a  body,  afterward  also  of  the 
whole  body  (Matt.  iv.  24).  The  withered  hand 
was  an  instance,  cured  by  Jesus  (Mark  iii.  1). 

PAL'TI  (deliverance  of  Jah).  Son  of  Raphu,  a 
spy  (Num.  xiii.  9). 

PAL'TIEL  (deliverance  of  God).  Son  of  Azzan

PAL'TITE  {descendants  of  Pelet,  the).  One  of 
David's  men  (2  Sam.  xxiii.  26). 

PAMPHY'LIA.  A  province  of  Asia  (Minor),  on 
the  soutli  coast,  bordering  the  same  sea  as,  and 
west  of  Cilicia  (Acts  xx.  v.  ii.  6).  The  sea  is  now 
called  Adalia,  from  the  ancient  Attalia.  The  region 
was  only  20  ms.  wide,  inland,  between  Taurus  and 
the  sea.  Paul  here  first  entered  Asia,  having  just 
left  Cyprus,  landing  at  Perga  (Acts  xiii.  13),  where 
John  Mark  left  him  and  Barnabas.  The  language 
seems  from  Luke's  account  (Acts  ii.  10),  to  have 
been  corrupted  to  some  local  dialect.  The  region 
is  now  thinly  peopled,  with  a  few  towns  along  the 
coast,  in  the  midst  of  fine  orchards,  surrounded  by 
fertile  fields.  Ruins  here  and  there  mark  ancient 
sites. 

PAN'NAG.  Some  kind  of  spice,  or  aromatic 
plant  exported  from  Palestine  at  Tyre  (Ezr.  xxvii. 
17).  It  may  possibly  have  been  a  flavoring  sub- 
stance used  in  bread.   The  Syriac  renders  it  millet. 

PAPEE-EEEDS.  Papyrus.  "Paper  reeds  by 
the  brooks"  in  Is.  xix.  7,  should  read  "meadows

PATHOS.  In  Cyprus  at  the  west  end  of  the 
island  (Salamis  being  at  the  east  end  and  a  road 
between) ;  the  seat  of  the  Roman  governor,  Sergius 
Paulus,  who  "believed"  after  hearing  Paul  and 
Barnabas  (Acts  xiii.  12).  Elymas  {magician,  sor- 
cerer), was  struck  with  blindness  (for  a  season), 
as  a  punishment  for  deceiving  people  with  his 
magic.  They  had  a  fine  temple  m  honor  of  Aphro- 
dite (Venus),  who  was  worshiped,  and  was  fabled 
to  have  risen  from  the  sea  at  this  place  (Homer, 
Od.  viii.  362).  The  temple  was  at  a  place  now 
called  Kuklia,  some  distance  from  the  new  town 
called  Baffa. 


COIN   OF  RHODES. 

PAPY'EUS  (Reed).  (Heb.  names:  agmon, 
GOME,  aroth,  kaneh).  A  tall  reed  (3  to  6  ft., 
angular) ,  with  a  broom-shape  head,  formerly  lin- 
ing the  Nile  banks,  and  growing  elsewhere  in 
marshes  in  Egypt  and  Palestine.  Its  lower  part 
was  used  for  food,  after  cooking.  It  is  without 
lea\ies,  and  the  pulp  was  used  for  making  paper. 
Some  ancient  specimens  of  the  papyrus  (covered 
with  writing  and  drawings),  are  to  be  found  in  the 
Abbott  Museum,  New  York,  (and  in  several 
museums  in  Europe).    See  page  106. 

The  several  words  translated  reed  in  the  A.  A., 
are :  1.  agmon,  a  rush.  In  Job  xl.  26,  it  is  asked, 
"  Canst  thou  put  a  rush  throuo;h  the  nose  of  the 
crocodile  ?"  as  you  do  through  the  gills  of  a  fish  ! — 
2.  gome,  the  papyrus,  paper-reed;  translated  rush 
and  bulrush.     The  word  oocurs  four  times:  when 


Moses  was  hid  in  a  boat  made  of  papyrus,  in  Ex. 
ii.  3 ;  in  the  notice  of  the  skiffs  or  canoes  of  the 
Ethiopians  (Is.  xviii.  2);  and  as  a  reed  in  Is.  xxxv. 
7,  and  in  Job  viii.  11.  The  stem  is  three  inches 
thick  at  the  base,  and  ten  to  sixteen  feet  long. 

The  Abyssinians  use  it  for  light  boats.  There 
were  other  similar  plants  of  which  boats  were  also 
made.  See  cut,  Egyptians  making  a  papyrus  boat, 
on  page  122. 

The  papyrus  (paper)  was  made  from  the  soft 
pulp,  which  is  cellular,  and  could  be  sliced  very 
thin.  These  slices  were  cut  as  long  as  the  paper 
was  to  be  wide,  and  were  laid  side  by  side,  and 
other  slips  laid  over  the  seams  and  gummed  into 
place,  until  the  whole  was  of  the  required  size  and 
thickness.  The  papyrus-reed  grows  in  Syria,  in 
the  marsh  of  the  Huleh  (from  which  place  Antigo- 
nus  got  it  to  make  cordage  for  his  ships),  on  Gen- 
nesaret,  in  Sicily,  in  Abyssinia,  along  the  White 
Nile,  and  in  Nubia. 

There  is  another  species  in  Palestine,  growing 
near  Caiffa,  under  Carmel.  This  has  a  top  like  an 
umbrella.  The  true  papyrus  hangs  the  top  on  one 
side,  like  a  broom.  See  cut  on  page  106.  The  Arabs 
use  both  kinds  for  mats,  roofs  and  walls  for  their 
huts. — 3.  AROTH  (once  only  as  paper-reeds  in  Is. 
xix.  7),  green  herbage,  such  as  grows  in  wet, 
marshy  places.— 4.  achu  (flag  in  Job  viii.  11,  and 
meadow  in  Gen.  xli.  2,  18).  Some  water-plant, 
eaten  by  cattle;  perhaps  the  beautiful  Flowering 
Rush,  or  it  may  be  the  Edible  Rush. — 5.  Sup  (flags 
in  Ex.  ii.  3,  5,  where  the  boat  containing  Moses  was 
laid;  flags  in  Is.  xix.  6,  and  reeds  in  Jonah  ii.  5). 
Weeds.  The  Red  Sea  is  called  Yam  Suf,  by  the 
Arabs— Sea  of  Weeds.  Svd  is  a  term  for  all  marine 
vegetation.— 6.  kaneh,  a  cane  {stalk  of  wheat  or 
corn  in  Gen.  xli.  5,  22;  branches  of  a  candlestick  in 
Ex.  XXV.  31 ;  a  measure  equal  to  .six  cubits  in  Ez. 
xl.  5;  and  in  anatomy,  the  name  of  the  bone  be- 
tween the  shoulder  and  the  elbow  in  Job  xxxi. 
22). — 7.  Greek  kalamos.  Used  for  a  reed  growing, 
a  measuring-rod  (Rev.  xi.  1,  etc.),  and  a  reed-pen 
(3  John  13). 

There  was  a  fragrant  reed  also,  keneh  bosem 
(Ez.  XXX.  23),  and  kaneh  hattob  (Jer.  vi.  20). 
The  Calamus  aromatieus  is  very  fragrant,  and  is 
used  for  perfume  in  ointments.  The  lemon-grass 
is  another  aromatic  reed  or  grass. 

PAE'ABLE  (Heb.  mashal;  Greek  parabole;  La- 
tin parabola).  A  similitude,  a  comparison.  See 
Fable.  The  Hebrews  used  the  term  mashal 
(similitude)  for  the  Proverbs  (1  Sam.  x.  12,  xiv. 
13),  prophesy  (Num.  xxiii.  7),  enigmas  (Ps. 
Ixxviii.  2),  and  narrative  (Ez.  xii.  22).  The  parable 
was  used  by  the  Hebrew  teachers  from  the  earliest 
times,  and  especially  by  Hillel,  Shammai  and  other 
great  Rabbis  just  before  the  Christian  era.  The 
parable  is  a  low  form  of  speech,  adapted  to  the 
ignorance  of  the  great  mass  of  mankind.  The 
Scribes  had  a  kind  of  parable  that  was  under- 
stood by  the  few  only,  and  therefore  it  is  said 
tliat  the  Sermon  on  the  Mount  was  open  and  plain 
instruction,  and  "  not  as  the  Scribes. "  Jesus  chose 
this  form  of  teaching  the  people,  who  were  spirit- 
ually blind  and  deaf  (Matt.  xiii.  13).  The  parable 
attracts,  and  if  understood,  is  remembered,  yet 
sometimes  the  meaning  is  lost.  There  were  pro- 
bably many  spoken  which  were  not  recorded  (ib. 
34).     The  number  is  about  30  or  31. 

The  parables  of  Jesus  are  the  most  characteristic 
and  beautiful  portions  of  his  teachings,  full  of  in- 
terest to  the  youngest  and  instruction  to  the  oldest, 
conveying,  in  delightful  narratives,  the  prof oundest 
truths  relating  to  his  kingdom,  of  which  we  be- 
come sensible  in  proportion  as  our  views  of  religion 
rise  into  the  spiritual  and  ideal.  All  outward 
things  take  on  a  fuller  meaning  and  have  a  richer 
color  and  brighter  light.  The  great  object  of 
Jesus  was  to  manifest  himself,  and  his  parables  do 
this  by  laying  bare  the  hearts  of  men.

PARABLE 


233 


PARAH 


The  interpretation  of  tlie  parables  belongs  to  the 
highest  order  of  Biblical  exegesis,  requiring  knowl- 
edge, spiritual  discernment^  taste  and  taet,  and  a 
■\vell-balaneed  mind.  There  are  no  rules  applicable 
to  this  work. 

It  may  be  noticed  that  there  seems  to  be  but  one 
leading  "idea  in  each  parable.  The  aim  is  ethical, 
and  is  not  poetical,  the  story  being  told  for  the 
sake  of  the  lesson. 

It  is  extremely  difficult  to  classify  the  parables. 
The  chronological  order  is  given  as  near  as  may 
be  in  the  article  Jesus.  It  does  not  appear  that 
they  were  delivered  in  any  order  or  sofiuence,  but 
in  answer  to  inquiries,  or  called  forth  by  certain 
circumstances  from  time  to  time.  In  the  following 
table  only  one  reference  is  given ;  the  others  can 
be  found  in  the  article  Jesus. 

Group  1.— Relating  to  Christ's  Kingdom. 

1.  Wicked  Husbandmen  (Matt.  xxi.  3.3-44).    The 

fate  of  those  who  abuse  their  privileges  and 
refuse  to  enter  the  kingdom. 

2.  The  Rich  Fool  (Luke  xii.  lG-21).    The  vanity 

of  all  worldly  things  without  the  kingdom. 

3.  The  Marriage  of  the  King's  Son  (Mat^.  xxii. 

1-14).    Danger  of  rejecting  the  invitations 
of  the  kin|;dom. 

4.  The  Barren  Fig-tree  (Luke  xiii.  6-9).    Danger

ture-land) . 

FAR'BAR  (1  Chr.  xxvi.  18).  An  open  porch,

court. 

PAECHED  GROUND.  In  Is.  xxxv.  7.  Heb.

GREEK  PARTRIDGE. 

PAR'LOR.  The  king's  audience  chamber  (Judg. 
iii.  20-25). 

PARMASH'TA  (superior).  Son  of  Haman  (Esth. 
ix.  9). 

PAR'MENAS  (abiding).    A  deacon  (Actsvi.  5). 

PAR'NACH  (delicate).  Ancestor  of  Elizaphan 
(Num.  xxxiv.  25). 

PA'ROSH  (a  ilea).  2,172  descendants  of  Parosh 
who  returned  from  captivity  (Ezr.  ii.  3).  Another 
150  males  accompanied  Ezra  (Ezr.  viii.  3).  They 
assisted  in  building  the  wall  of  Jerusalem  (Neh. 
iii.  25) ,  and  sealed  the  covenant  (x.  14) . 

PARSHAN'DATHA  (interpreter) .  Eldest  of  Ha- 
man's  sons,  slain  by  the  Jews  (Esth  ix.  7). 

PART.  (Heb.  pelech,  circuit  or  district).  Used 
in  reference  to  Jerusalem,  Beth-haccerem,  Miz- 
pah,  Beth-zur  and  Keilah  (Neh.  iii.  9). 

PAR'THIA  (Acts  ii.  9),  The  Parthians  here 
meant  were  Jews  only,  who  were  present  at  Jeru- 
salem on  the  day  of  Pentecost.  Originally  it  was 
a  small  mountainous  district  N.  E.  of  Media,  be- 
tween Aria  and  Hyrcania,  but  afterward  included 
a  large  district.  The  country  is  mountainous,  cli- 
mate pleasant,  soil  fertile,  well  watered  by  many 
small  streams  (which  do  not  reach  the  seas,  but 
are  absorbed  in  the  ground),  and  has  many  ruins 
of  ancient  cities,  such  as  Ctesiphon,  Akker-kuf, 
El  Hammam  and  Takt-i-Bostan,  some  of  the  most 
remarkable  Oriental  remains,  which  are  evidence 
of  a  former  state  of  prosperity  and  wealth.  It  is 
now  a  part  of  Persia.  The  first  known  of  this 
Scythian  people  is  of  the  time  of  Darius  Hystas- 
pis;  although  it  is  supposed  that  Cyrus  annexed 
their  territory  to  his  empire  (B.  C.  550).  They 
were  in  Xerxes'  great  army  in  Greece.  Alexan- 
der gave  their  country  to  Eumenes.  The  Parthian 
Empire  began  under  Arsaces,  B.  C.  256,  and  ex- 
tended from  the  Tigris  to  India,  and  from  the 
Chorasmian  desert  to  the  Southern  Ocean.  It  was 
the  only  power  that  opposed  Rome  vfith  final  suc- 
cess. The  Roman  general,  Crassus,  was  defeated 
by  them  at  Carrhse  (Harran).     (B.  K.  Porter). 

PAR'TRIDGE  (kore).  The  desert  partridge, 
used  as  a  simile  by  David  when  pursued  by  Saul 
(Sam.  xxvi.  20),  and  as  a  simile  of  a  man  who 
reaps  what  he  does  not  sow  (Jer.  xvii.  11).  They 
are  very  prolific,  lajdng  20  or  more  eggs.    There 


are  several  species  in  Palestine.  The  word  kore 
may  also  include  the  black  partridge  of  India  and 
the  sand  grouse,  which  latter  is  very  common  in 
Syria. 

PARU'AH  (blossoming).  Father  of  Jehoshaphat 
(1  K.  iv.  17). 

PARVA'IM.  From  whence  gold  was  brought  for 
the  ornamentation  of  the  Temple  (2  Chr.  iii.  6). 
The  Sephar  of  Gen.  x.  30,  which  was  a  mountain, 
and  probably  the  same  as  Ophir.  Others  hold  that 
Parvaim  means  Eastern,  as  the  modern  Levant 
does,  and  therefore  say  that  the  text  means  only 
eastern  gold.  Pliny  mentions  a  Barbatia  on  the 
Tigris  (vi.  32). 

PA'SA€H  (cut  up).  Son  of  Japhlet  (1  Chr.  vii. 
33). 

PASD AM  'MIM  (hand  of  confusion) .  Ephes  Dam- 
mim  (1  Chr.  xi.  13).  Where  a  fierce  conflict  with 
the  Philistines  occurred.  Damun  is  a  ruin,  3  miles 
east  of  Socho,  but  it  is  not  identified  beyond 
dispute. 

PASE'AH  (lame).  1.  Son  of  Eshton  (1  Chr.  iv. 
12).— 2.  Ancestor  of  Nethinim,  who  returned  from 
captivity  (Ezr.  ii.  49).  Phaseah. — 3.  Ancestor  of 
the  Jehoiada  who  assisted  in  repairs  of  the  "old 
gate"  (Neh.  iii.  6). 

PASH'TJR  (prosperity).  1.  Son  of  Malchiah, 
one  of  the  princes  in  the  court  (Jer.  xxxviii.  1). 
The  name  of  a  family  of  priests  of  the  house  of 
Malchijah  (Jer.  xxi.  1).— 2.  Another  priest,  son  of 
Immer,  and  governor  of  the  hoiise  of  the  Lord.  He 
was  opposed  to  Jeremiah  in  Jehoiakim's  reign,  and 
for  this  indignity  his  name  was  changed  to  INIagor- 
MissABiB  (terror  on  every  side) ,  (xx.  1-6). — 3.  Fa- 
ther of  Gedaliah  4  (xxxviii.  1) . 

PAS'SAGE  (Heb.  eber,  maabar,  maebarah). 
A  river  ford  or  mountain  pass  (iSam.  xiii.  23). 
See  Jordan. 

PAS'SENGERS  (Heb.  oberim).  Those  who  go 
right  on  their  ways.  "The  valley  of  the  pas- 
sengers" means  the  valley  where  Gog's  multitude 
were  to  be  buried  (Ez.  xxxix.  11). 

PASSION.  Suffering  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
on  the  cross  (Acts  i.  3). 

PASS'OVER  (Heb.  pesach;  Greek  Pascha).  The 
first  of  the  three  great  annual  festivals  of  the  He- 
brews, held  in  Nisan,  14th  to  21st.  There  are  seve- 
ral distinct  passages  relating  to  the  Passover  in 
Exodus  and  Deuteronomy,  where  its  original  in- 
tention, the  unleavened  bread,  the  first-born  sancti- 
fied, are  mentioned,  and  the  paschal  lamb.  In 
Ex.  xxiii.  14-19,  the  paschal  lamb  is  mentioned  as 
My  Sacrifice,  and  the  feast  is  called  "of  unleavened 
bread. "  The  redemption  of  the  first-born  is  noticed 
in  xxiv.  18-26.  In  Deut.  xvi.  1-8,  the  command  is 
given  to  keep  the  passover  in  Jerusalem.  A  lamb 
was  roasted  whole — not  a  bone  of  it  to  be  broken — 
and  eaten  entirely,  the  same  night,  with  bitter 
herbs;  if  not  all  eaten,  the  remnant  to  be  burnt. 
The  blood  of  the  victim  was  to  be  sprinkled  on  the 
door-post. 

The  meaning  was  to  commemorate  the  Exodus 
from  Egypt,  wnen  the  Lord  passed  over  the  first- 
born of  the  Hebrews  and  smote  those  of  the 
Egyptians.  The  Rabbis  affixed  the  penalty  of 
whipping  to  any  one  who  should  not  kill  the 
paschal  lamb  in  the  Court  of  the  Temple,  and 
separated  the  people  into  three  companies  at  that 
time  to  avoid  confusion.  During  the  killing  trum- 
pets were  blown  and  the  Hallel  was  sung  by  the 
Levites.    See  Lord's  Supper,  Agape. 

The  position  of  sitting  down  to  the  meal  or  re- 
clining was  adopted  by'the  Hebrews  as  a  sign  of 
their  freedom,  as  though  just  out  of  Egypt. 

The  use  of  wine  had  no  place  in  the  original  in- 
stitution, but  was  sanctioned  by  Jesus  both  in  the 
Passover  and  the  Lord's  Supper. 

It  has  been  debated  whether  the  Lord  ate  the

Passover  the  last  time  on  the  same  day  as  the  Jews 
did  or  the  evoulug  before;  but  the  fn-quent  refer- 
ences to  tlie  event  by  all  the  Evangelists,  witliout 
hesitation  as  to  the  time,  leaves  no  doubt  that  it 
was  eaten  at  the  usual  time.  The  Sadducees  and 
Pharisees  (lilT(n-ed  as  to  tlie  proper  day. 

Jesus,  the  Christ,  was  himself  the  Paschal  Lamb, 
the  spiritual  Passover,  of  whom  the  Hebrew  rite 
was  a  type. 

PAS'TOR  (ITeb.  ROEH,  a  shepherd),  (Jer.  ii.  8); 
also  applied  to  Christ,  the  Great  "Shepherd" 
(Jer.  xxvl.  31),  and  to  the  spiritual  ministers  of  a 
church  (Eph.  iv.  11).    Bishop.    Eldkiis. 

PAS'TTTRE.  To  those  who  had  large  flocks  and 
herds,  an  abundance  of  pasturage  and  water  were 
of  great  importance.  Abraham,  Isaac,  and  Ja- 
cob, moved  from  place  to  place  in  order  to  obtain 
these  essentials.  Palestine  is  well  adapted  to  gra- 
zing. Fi<]curatively  it  is  applied  to  the  spiritual 
wants  of  the  people  of  God  (Ps.  xxiii.  2).  Pastor. 

PAT'ARA.  The  seaport  of  Xanthus,  near  the 
coast,  in  Lycia.  It  was  devoted  to  the  worship  of 
Apollo  (Hor.  Odes,  iii.  4,  64),  and  the  coins  of  the 
district  exhibit  traces  of  the  respect  paid  to  the 
divinity.  Some  of  the  ruins — among  which  are  a 
triple  arch  of  a  gate  of  the  city,  and  a  ruined  thea- 
tre, baths,  temples,  etc. — indicate  a  once  populous 
and  important  city;  such  as  it  probably  was  at  the 
time  of  Paul's  visit  (Acts  xxi.  1,  2),  when  it  was 
an  emporium  of  commerce  between  the  east  and 
west  coasts  of  the  Levant  (see  Livy,  xxxvii.  IG; 
Beaufort's  Karamania,  Ionian  Ant.  of  the  Dilettanti 
Sac,  and  Fellows). 

PATHE'TJS.  Pethahtah,  the  Levite  (1  Esd.  ix. 
23). 


on  a  hill,  to  the  S.  is  the  monastery  of  "St.  John 
the  Divine  "  (built  by  Alexius  Conuienus).  In  the 
library  of  this  cliurch  are  many  ancient  MSS.,  two 
of  whicli  contain  an  account  of  John  after  the  As- 
cension. There  are  no  forest-trees,  but  many  flow- 
ering shrubs  and  plants.  Walnut  and  fruit-trees 
are  grown  iu  orchards  ;  and  the  wine  is  famous  for 
its  strength  and  flavor.  Now  called  Patina,  and 
Palmosa.  Pop.  4,000.  (See  Patmos  and  the  Seven 
Chiirches).

PAUL  (Ileb.  Saul)  .  He  was  a  Benjamite,  a  na- 
tive of  Tarsus,  Cilicia,  and  was  born  about  A.  D.  5, 
a  free  Roman  citizen  (by  descent  from  liis  father) . 
He  had  a  sister  (whose  son  is  mentioned),  and 
perhaps  other  sisters,  as  well  as  brotliers,  some  of 
whose  names  may  possibly  be  those  given  by  Paul 
in  his  Epistle  to  the  Romans,  as  Andronicus,  Junia, 
and  Herodion.  Tarsus  was  then  the  rival  of  Ath- 
ens and  Alexandria  as  a  seat  of  learning,  where 
Paul  began  that  acquaintance  with  the  classical 
writers  which  was  continued  when  he  went  to  Je- 
rusalem as  a  pupil  of  Gamaliel,  who  was  a  strict 
Pharisee,  and  well  known  by  his  title  of  "The 
Glory  of  the  Lord,"  and  "Rabban"  (Our  Master). 
It  seems  to  have  been  the  intention  of  his  parents 
to  fit  him  for  the  rabbinical  profession.  It  was  the 
custom  to  teach  every  son  a  trade,  and  he  was 
brought  up  to  the  making  of  tent-cloth  (from  goats' 
hair,  called  cilicia).    These  black  tents  are  now 


PATH'ROS.  A  district  in  Egypt,  and  a  Mizraite 
tribe. 

PA'TRIARCH  (Greek  paPria/rehes).  Head  of  a 
family  or  tribe  (Heb.  vii.  4;  Acts  vii.  8,  ii.  29).  It 
is  a  title  of  many  of  the  ancestors  of  the  Hebrews, 
as  David,  Abraham,  Noah. 

They  were  the  head  of  the  religious  faith  and 
practice,  as  well  as  leader  and  judge  in  civil  affairs, 
and  represented  God  who  is  the  great  father  of  all 
men.  Wlien  the  Temple  worship' took  the  place  of 
family  worship  the  patriarch  became  a  sheikh,  and 
was  no  longer  a  priest. 

The  Arabs  still  keep  up  this  form  of  govermnent 
in  civil  affairs,  but  not  in  religious. 

PAT'MOS  (Rev.  i.  9).  A  rocky  island,  S.  of  Sfi- 
mos— one  of  the  Sporades,  in  the  Icarian  Sea,  a 
part  of  the  ^gean  Sea— 15  ms.  around;  divided 
almost  in  two  by  a  narrow  isthmus,  on  the  E.  side 
of  which  are  the  town  and  harbor,  and  near  them, 


used  in  Syi-ia,  and  are  mentioned  by  the  ancient 
poets.  While  yet  a  young  man  he  showed  a  great 
zeal  for  the  law  of  Moses  (Judaism),  in  consenting 
and  assisting  at  the  stoning  of  Stephen,  by  holding 
the  cloaks  of  those  who  threw  the  stones.  The 
main  events  of  his  life,  as  given  by  Luke,  and  by 
himself,  are:— His  conversion;  labors  at  Antioch; 
the  first  missionary  journey,  in  which  he  assumed 
the  character  of  the  Apostle  to  the  Gentiles;  the 
visit  to  Jerusalem,  to  settle  the  relation  of  the  Gen- 
tile and  Jewish  converts ;  the  introduction  of  the 
Gospel  into  Europe ;  the  third  missionary  journey, 
during  which  time  he  wrote  the  four  great  Epistles; 
the  arrest,  imprisonment,  voyage  to  Rome,  and 
death.  The  chronology  and  details  are  given  in 
the  table  below.  Personally,  Paul  is  almost  un- 
kno^\^^  to  us,  unless  we  accept  tradition  and  the 
statements  of  the  ancients.  The  portrait  given

of  him  hundreds  of  years  after  his  death,  and  it  is 
only  interesting  to  us  as  a  relic  of  early  Clmsllau 
art.  From  the  Gospels  we  learn  that  he  was  of  a 
subtile,  tenacious  and  versatile  intellect;  intolerant 
hetore,  but,  after  his  conversion,  tolerant  of  the 
opinions  of  others;  of  a  weak  bodily  presence,  and 
a  poor  voice;  but  full  of  fresh  ideas,  and  so  thor- 
oughly systematic  and  persistent  as  to  deserve  the 
name  of  the  chief  founder  of  the  Christian  Chui'ch. 

Stephen  is  called  the  forerunner  of  Paul  ("the 
blood  of  the  first  martyr,  the  seed  of  the  greatest 
apostle  ") ;  and  he  was  his  anticipator  in  spirit  and 
power,  as  may  be  seen  in  his  defense  before  the 
Sanhedrin,  wherein  he  gave  a  critically  just  and 
true  summary  of  the  Jewish  Church — denouncing 
the  local  worship,  and  bringing  out  tlie  spiiitual 
element  in  its  history.  The  substance  of  the  whole 
speech,  and  its  style,  seems  to  have  been  thrown 
over  Paul's  spirit,  like  the  mantle  of  the  prophet. 

His  mission  to  Damascus  was  to  arrest  the  disci- 
ples of  Jesus  there,  and  bring  them  to  Jerusalem 
for  trial  and  punishment,  as  apostates  from  the 
Jewish  Church.  On  the  way  he  was  arrested  by  a 
miracle,  converted  by  receiving  knowledge  of  the 
truth;  was  consecrated  by  Ananias;  and,  after  his 
recovery  from  the  temporary  blindness,  began  his 
work  for  the  new  cause,  in  the  synagogue  at  Da- 
mascus, by  preaching  Jesus  the  Christ  to  the  Jews, 
and  Jesus  the  Son  of  God  to  the  Gentiles. 

His  preaching  naturally  excited  the  rage  of  his 
late  friends  and  employers,  who  regarded  him  as 
an  apostate  and  a  dangerous  man,  and  aimed  at 
his  life;  when  he  was  obliged  to  escape  from  the 
city  by  night,  his  friends  letting  him  down  from  a 
window  in  the  wall  in  a  basket.    See  Damascus. 

His  return  to  Jerusalem  (after  three  years' 
absence^,  as  a  disciple,  only  caused  alarm  to 
the  brethren,  who  remembered  his  zeal  against 
them,  in  the  case  of  Stephen  and  as  the  high- 
priest's  of&cer,  until  he  was  introduced  as  a  be- 
liever by  Barnabas.  Being  driven  out  of  the  city  in 
a  short  time  by  the  Jews,  he  returned  by  Csesarea 
to  Tarsus,  from  whence  he  was  summoned  by 
Barnabas  to  come  to  Antioch  to  help  in  the  gospel 
work.  On  account  of  the  famine,  predicted  by 
Agabus,  Barnabas  and  Saul  were  sent  to  Jerusa- 
lem with  a  contribution  for  the  poor  there;  and  on 
their  return,  John  Mark  (nephew  of  Barnabas), 
accompanied  them  as  an  assistant. 

It  was  on  the  first  mission- 
ary journey,  while  they  were 
in  Cyprus,  that  his  name  was 
changed  from  Saul  to  Paul, 
which  was  the  Greek  form  of 
the  name, — as  Jason  is  for 
Jesus,  PoUio  for  Hillel,  Al- 
phfeus  for  Clopas,  etc. 

Paul  and  Barnabas  were 
again  sent  to  Jerusalem,  to 
have  a  decision  made,  by  the 
apostles  and  elders,  on  the 
question  of  circumcision ;  when 
Peter  declared  the  fact  that 
God  himself  had  set  the  seal 
of  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost 
on  the  Gentile  as  weU  as  on 
the  Jew  convert. 

Before  setting  out  on  his 
second  missionary  journey  Paul  separated  from 
Barnabas,  because  he  could  not  trust  Mark,  who 
had  left  them  at  a  critical  time  on  their  first  jour- 
ney; so  Paul  took  Silas  instead  of  Barnabas,  and 
Barnabas  took  Mark  with  him.  The  business  of 
the  next  year  was  founding  churches  in  Phrygia 
and  Galatia,  which  he  did  with  great  success. 

In  a  vision,  the  spirit  of  Jesus  turned  him  back 
from  Bithynia;  and  while  at  Troas,  in  the  form  of 
a  man  of  Macedonia  (in  another  vision),  directed 
him  to  carry  the  gospel  into  Europe,  in  the  menio-

rable  words,  "Come  over  into  Macedonia  and 
help  us." 

The  style  of  the  narrative  in  Acts  intimates,  in 
the  change  from  "they"  to  "we,"  that  Luke,  the 
writer  went  with  Paul  from  Troas. 

They  preached  from  city  to  city  for  nearly  a  year, 
and  passed  on  into  Greece  (to  Athens) .  Here  he 
set  forth  the  gospel  in  the  synagogue,  the  market- 
place, and,  by  invitation,  in  the  venerable  assembly 
of  the  Areopagus,  where  were  gathered  the  most 
polished  men  of  the  foremost  seat  of  learning  in 
the  world,  who  were  acute,  witty,  shrewd,  and 
most  intensely  scornful.  He  exposed  the  folly  of 
their  superstitions  with  exquisite  tact  and  ability, 
and  unfolded  the  character  and  claims  of  the  "un- 
known God"  whom  they  were  already  worshiping 
unintelligently.  But  he  made  very  little  impres- 
sion on  the  popular  religion,  probably  because  his 
simple  faith,  having  no  splendid  show  of  material 
accession,  could  not  be  expected  to  take  the  place 
of  their  highly  poetical  mythology,  which  was 
celebrated  by  the  most  magnificent  displays  of 
temples,  vestments,  processions,  and  sacrifices. 

A  year  and  a  half  in  Corinth  was  spent  in 
preaching  and  worldng  at  his  trade,  with  better 
results  than  at  Athens. 

Again  at  Ephesus,  he  made  so  many  friends  that 
the  idol-makers  became  alarmed  for  the  business, 
and  stiiTed  up  a  tumult  against  Paul.  They  made 
small  copies  of  the  temi^le  and  image  of  Diana, 
which  were  used  in  private  houses,  or  caiTied  on 
journeys;  and  Paul  declared  that  they  were  "no 
gods,"  but  that  Jesus  the  Christ  was  the  only 
proper  object  of  worship  as  the  Son  of  God.  See 
Ephkstjs  and  Seven  Churches. 

After  another  visit  to  Macedonia,  Greece,  and 
Illyria,  he  turned  toward  Jerusalem  for  the  fifth 
and  last  time.  On  the  way  there  occurred,  at  Mi- 
letus, one  of  the  most  affecting  incidents  in  the 
whole  story  of  his  life.  The  elders  of  the  church 
at  Ephesus  had  come  to  Miletus  to  meet  him.  He 
was  over  sixty  years  of  age,  naturally  feeble  of 
body,  always  a  hard  worker,  and  it  seemed  proba- 
ble that  this  was  their  last  interview.  He  recalled 
his  labors  among  them,  assuring  them  that  his 
single  object  had  always  been  the  preaching  the 
gospel  of  Jesus;  and  referred  to  the  dangers 
through  which  they  all  had  passed,  and  those  that 
the  Holy  Spirit  had  predicted  were  to  come,  and  to 
his  determination  to  press  on,  as  though  his  life 
was  in  his  hand,  and  entreated  them  to  follow  him 
for  the  sake  of  their  Lord  Jesus. 

The  visit  to  Jerusalem  seemed  to  his  friends  at 
Cfesarea  also  to  be  dangerous;  and  Agabus,  who 
had  17  years  before  proved  himself  a  prophet, 
showed  Paul  that  he  would  be  put  in  bonds  if  he 
went  up  to  the  city. 

The  story  cannot  be  told  in  better  words  than 
Luke  uses,  in  the  21st  and  the  following  chapters 
of  Acts.  His  enemies  had  determined  on  his  de- 
struction, and  watched  for  an  opportunity,  and 
were  finally  compelled  to  invent  an  accusation  on 
the  pretext  that  Paul  had  taken  some  Greeks  into 
the  Temple,  and  thereby  had  broken  the  Law  of 
Moses,  and  had  polluted  the  Holy  House.  He  was 
rescued  from  the  furious  mob  of  Jews  by  the  Ro- 
man soldiers,  and  also  protected  on  account  of  his 
Roman  citizenship;  but  was  for  years  kept  in 
chains,  withovit  trial,  with  occasional  examinations 
before  the  governor  and  the  king  (which,  it  is  more 
than  suspected,  were  for  the  purpose  of  extorting 
a  bribe  from  Paul  or  his  friends),  and  was  finally 
sent  to  Rome,  on  his  appeal  to  Caesar.  Luke's  ac- 
count of  the  voyage  has  been  most  severely  criti- 
cised, and  found  to  agree  with  the  nature  of  the 
region,  climate,  winds,  coasts,  habits  and  supersti- 
tions of  the  people,  and  even  the  make  of  the 
ships  at  that  age ;  and  since  its  purpose  was  to  fol- 
low the  spiritual  Paul  chiefly,  has  been  shown  to

Of  Paul's  death  almost  nothing  is  known.  lYa- 
ditlon  affirms  that  he  was  beheaded  at  Rome, 
whore  a  grave  is  now  shown,  which  is  honored 
with  a  monument. 

Ills  personal  appearance  had  little  to  command 
admiration,  or  even  respect.  A  small  figure,  a  bald 
head,  with  weak  eyes  and  a  hooked  nose,  like 
some  of  the  Jews  of  our  day— and,  added  to  these, 
feeble  health— makes  a  whole  that  would  excite, 
besides  ridicule,  only  sympathy,  until  we  become 
acquainted  with  the  great  soul  and  ardent  spirit 
that  was  the  tenant  of  this  poor  frame.

He  is  one  of  the  most  wonderful  characters 
known  to  history.  Called  to  a  peculiar  work,  he 
was  most  peculiarly  adapted  to  that  work  from 
nature,  education  and  circumstances,  and  most 
nobly  did  he  succeed.  His  labor  in  establishing  the 
Church  in  many  cities  and  countries  occupied 
nearly  thirty  years  of  constant  application — in 
traveling,  preaching,  writing  and  working  with 
his  own  hands  at  his  trade;  some  of  the  time, 
even  while  a  prisoner,  chained  to  a  guard,  or  in  a 
cell,  ending,  when  he  was  "ready  to  be  offered," 
in  his  death  at  the  age  of  nearly  70  years.    See 

KOME. 

He  was  a  poor  mechanic,  and  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Greeks  and  Romans  was  of  an  origin  as  hateful  as 
that  of  the  Jews,  who  are  called  the  enemies  of 
mankind;  and,  as  his  enemies  said,  he  was  of  a 
bodily  presence  that  was  weak,  and  had  a  con- 
temptible speech;  yet  he  did  more  than  any  other 
man  to  set  in  motion  those  new  ideas  that  were  to 
lift  mankind  up  out  of  the  darkness  of  supersti- 
tion, purify  their  minds  from  the  errors  of  ages, 
open  their  hearts  to  the  great  truths  of  the  oneness 
of  God,  and  the  brotherhood  of  men,  and  the  value 
of  a  good  and  true  life;  enforcing  these  great 
truths  Dy  a  life  equally  great,  full  of  oravery,  self- 
sacrifice,  and  self-denial,  and  which  have  gained 
power  to  crush  and  scatter  the  Paganism  of  the 
Greek  and  Roman  world. 

This  work  was  not  done  without  pain,  and  dan- 
ger, and  toil.  From  the  very  beginning  he  suffered 
hardship,  risk  of  life  from  his  former  associates; 
continued  in  long  journeys  by  sea  and  land;  ship- 
wreck ;  stoning  by  an  infuriated  mob ;  exposure  to 
the  fury  of  wild  oeasts  in  the  amphitheatre;  and 
finally  loss  of  life  by  violence. 

If  privation,  suffering,  patience,  and  persever- 
ance— warmed  by  zeal  and  tempered  with  wisdom 
and  love,  elevated  and  polished  by  scholarship  and 
brilliant  talents,  inspired  with  tne  knowledge  of 
the  Divine  Spirit,  and  all  these  qualities  softened 
with  a  charming  urbanity  that  was  never  laid 
aside— if  all  these  rare  endowments  can  build  an 
enduring  memorial  in  the  earth,  surely  among  the 
immortals  in  the  memor>'  of  men  will  be  found, 
along  with  the  names  of  Adam,  Moses,  David, 


Solomon,  and  Jesus,  the  noble  name  of  Paul  the 
Apostle.  Already  his  epistles  are  printed  in  a 
hundred  and  fifty  languagt-s;  read  by  as  many 
millions,  and  churches  are  dedicated  to  his  name 
in  every  Cliristian  city  in  the  world.

VOTIVE    OFFERING. 


PAVIL'ION.  A  general  term  for  an  awning  or 
tent.  Three  different  words  are  thus  translated  in 
the  Scriptures:  "He  shall  hide  me  in  his  pavil- 
ion," in  Ps.  xxvii.  The  Heb.  soc  means  a  hut.  In 
Jer.  xliii.  10,  Nebuchadnezzar  is  alluded  to  as 
"spreading  his  royal  pavilion" — the  word  shaf- 
RUR  or  SHAFRiR  Is  the  one  used— meaning  bright, 
or  rich  tapestry,  famed  in  Babylonian  times. 

PE  (PE,  mmith).  The  17th  letter  of  the  Hebrew 
alphabet  (Ps.  cxix).    Writing. 

PEACE  (Heb.  rhalom,  soundness,  health,  welfa/re, 
prosperity).  "Peace  be  unto  thee"  (Judg.  vi.  23 ; 
1  K.  ii.  33;  Ps.  xxxvii.  11,  37,  etc.).  Peace  as  the 
opposite  of  war:  "And  I  will  give  peace  in  the 
land  "  (Lev.  xxvi.  6;  Judg.  iv.  17,  etc.).  Peace,  as 
friendship,  in  Ps.  xxviii.  3,  xli.  9.  "  Peace  be  unto 
you,"  was  a  common  form  of  Eastern  salutation 
(John  XX.  19,  21,  26,  etc.);  "Your  peace!"  (Matt. 
X.  13).    See  Salutation. 

PEACE-OFFEBING  (Heb.  shelem);  (Lev.  iii.- 
vii.  11).  There  were  three  kinds:  1.  Praise  or 
thanksgiving.  2.  Votive.  3.  Voluntary  or  free- 
will offerings.  The  sacrifice  was  accompanied  by 
an  offering  of  "unleavened  cakes  mingled  with 
oil,  and  unleavened  wafers  anointed  with  oil,  of 
fine  flour,  fried"  (Lev.  vii.  12-13).  From  the 
peace-offering  the  fat  was  burned  on  the  altar;  the 


right  shoulder  of  the  animal  sacrificed  was  given 
to  the  priest ;  the  breast  was  a  waver-offering.  The 
rest  was  to  be  eaten  by  the  ofi'erer  upon  the  day  of 
offering.  This  was  the  characteristic  of  the  peaco- 
offering,  suggesting,  figuratively,  peace  with  God. 
See  Okfehing  ;  Sacrifice. 

PEA'COCK  (Ileb.  tukiim).  Imported  into  Pal- 
estine through  the  Tarshish  navies  of  King  Solo- 
mon (1  K.  X.  22;  2  Chr.  ix.  21).  The  importation 
of  peacocks  is  named  with  that  of  ivory  and  apes. 
The  birds  were  probably  brought  from  India  or 
Ceylon,  where  there  is  reason  to  believe  the  navies 
visited.  (See  Taushish.)  The  Cingalese  word 
(tokci)  for  peacock,  bears  a  close  resemblance  to 
the  Hebraic. 

PEARL  (Heb.  garish).  They  are  formed  inside 
the  shells  of  several  species  of  moUusca,  and 
consist  of  carbonate  of  lime  and  animal  matter; 
are  hard  and  smooth,  and  have  a  silvery-white  lus- 
tre. Pearls  were  held  among  the  most  precious 
stones  in  the  ancient  world.  Their  beauty  is  due  to 
Nature,  alone,  as  they  are  not  improved  by  Art. 
The  "pearl  of  great  price"  is  a  fine  specimen 
yielded  by  the  pearl  oyster,  which  is  found  in  the 
Persian  Gulf  (Matt.  xiii.  45,  46).

PEEL,  TO  (Heb.  mar  at).  "Peel- 
ed" in  Ez.  xxix.  18,  translates  liter- 
ally that  the  skin  of  the  shoulder  was 
peeled  by  the  carrying  of  earth  to 
form  earth-works  at  the  siege  of 
Tyre.  In  Is.  xviii.  2,  7,  "a  nation 
scattered  and  peeled"  is  variously 
rendered.  Gesenius  suggests  ' '  a  peo- 
ple drawn  out  and  smoothed." 

PE'KAH  (^open-eyed).  Son  of  Rema- 
liah,  captain  of  Pekahiah  whom  he 
assassinated,  and  succeeded  to  his  throne  B.  C.  758, 
and  thus  became  eighteenth  king  of  Israel.  He 
reigned  twenty  years,  in  the  seventeenth  of 
which  he  combined  with  Rezin,  king  of  Da- 
mascus, against  Ahaz,  king  of  Judah,  (2  K. 
xvi.  and  2  Chr.  xxviii.).  (See  prophesies  of 
Isaiah,  Is.  vii.-ix).  The  result  was  the  .seizure  of 
Damascus  and  all  the  lands  east  of  the  Jordan  and 
north  of  Galilee,  by  Tiglath-Pileser  king  of  Assy- 
ria. Pekah  was  killed  by  Hosea,  son  of  Elah, 
who  headed  a  conspiracy,  and  afterwards  mounted 
the  throne  (2  K.  xv.  25-38,  xvi.  1-9).  Assyrian 
inscriptions  record  the  taking  of  Damascus  by 
Tiglath-Pileser. 

PEEAHI'AH  {Jah  has  opened  his  eyes).  Son 
and  successor  of  Menahem;  was  the  seventeenth 
king  of  Israel.  He  reigned  two  years,  and  was 
killed  by  Pekah,  his  general,  who  succeeded  him. 
His  death  took  place  B.  C.  758  (2  K.  xv.  22-25). 

PE'KOD.  A  name  given  to  the  Chaldaeans  in 
Jer.  1.  21  and  Ez.  xxiii.  23.  The  meaning  of  this 
word  is  uncertain;  in  one  sense  it  would  appear  to 
be  to  visit,  to  punish.  In  another  it  means  a  prefect 
(officer). 

PELAI'AH  (7chom  Jah  distinffuished) .  1.  Son  of 
Elioenai  .(1  Chr.  iii.  24).— 2.    A  Levite  who  as-

supposed  to  be  so  named  from  its  habit  of  emptying 
the  pouch  under  the  beak  to  feed  its  young.  Cor- 
morant, translated  in  Is.  xxxiv.  11,  and  Zeph.  ii. 
14,  means  pelican.  It  is  mentioned  as  among  un- 
clean birds  in  Lev.  xi.  18,  and  Deut.  xiv.  17.  "A

and  Zalmunna,  being  faint  from  want  of  food, 
asked  the  people  of  this  place  for  bread  for  his 
soldiers,  and  was  denied  (Judg.  viii.  8).  He  de- 
stroyed the  tower  of  the  city  on  his  return  (ver.

some  of  the  bights  bordering  the  plain  of  Rephaim;

PERFUMES.  Were  used  freely  by  the  Orientals 
(Prov.  xxvii.  9).  The  Hebi'ews  made  their  per- 
fumes from  Spices  imported  from  Arabia,  and 
from  aromatic  plants  of  their  own  countiy.  Per- 
fumes were  used  in  the  Temple-service  in  Incense 
and  Ointment  (Ex.  xxx.  22-38).  They  were  used 
in  private  life  both  on  the  person  and  on  garments 
(Ps.  xiv.  8),  and  beds  (Prov.  vii.  17).  When  a 
royal  person  went  abroad  "  pillars  of  smoke  "  were 
thrown  about  his  path  (Cant.  iii.  6).  Perfume 
was  not  used  in  times  of  mourning  (Is.  iii.  24). 
See  Ointment. 

PER'GA.    The  ancient  capital  of  Pamphyha,  on 

the  river  Oestrus,  7  ms.  from  the  sea.     Diana 

(Artemis)  was  worshiped  there,  in  a  fine  temple 

near  the  town.    The  coins  of  the  city  bear  figures 

of  Diana  and  the  temple.    Paul  landed  here  from 

Paphos  (Acts  xiii.  13),  and  visited  the  city  a  second 

time  on  his  return  from  the  interior  (xiv.  25). 

When  Pamphylia  was  divided,  Perga  was  made 

the   capital    of    one 

section,  and  Side  of 

the  other.    Called  by 

the    Turks  Eski-Ka- 

lessi.

ites,  Hittites,  Amor- 
shrine,  or  holy  high-place,  on  the  summit,  and  the  i  ites,  Perizzites,  Hivites,  and  Jebusites),  who  in- 
town  of  Beth  Peor  at  its  foot  (Deut.  iii.  29).  Baal  ]  habited  the  lands  west  of  Jordan  previous  to  the

scattered,  not  coueentratiug  around  cities.  They 
were  subdued  by  Josluia  but  not  dispersed,  as 
they  appear  h\  tlie  history  of  Solomon  (1  K.  ix.  20, 
and  in  E/.r.  ix.  1). 

FEBSEF  OLIS.  The  capital  of  Persia,  and  partly 
burnt  by  Alexander,  the  temi)les— built  of  stone- 
only  escaping.  Autiochus  Epiphaues  attempted 
to  capture  and  rob  the  teni- 

Bles,  but  was  defeated  (1 
[ace.  vi.l,  2;  2  Mace.  ix.  2). 
This  city  has  been  supposed 
to  be  identical  with  Pas- 
sargadie,  the  capital  of  Cy- 
rus; but  that  city  was  42 
ms.  N.  of  Persejiolis,  at  a 
place  now  called  .Uui-ijitub, 
where  there  is  shown  a  tomb 
of  Cyrus.  The  site  of  Per- 
sepolis  is  called  Chehl-Mi- 
nar  ( forty  pillars,  or  minor- 
reU)^  from  the  remainiuff 
pillars  of  the  palace  built 
by  Darius  and  Xerxes. 
Nanea  (Diai>a,  Artemis, 
Aphrodite),  was  the  moon- 
goddess  of  the  Persians, 
and  had  a  temple  in  her 
honor,  rich  in  gold  shields, 
breastplates,  and  coverings 
of  gold,  and  great  treasures. 
The  ruins  of  the  palace  now 
cover  the  platform,  which  . 

is  350  by  380,  and  30  ft.  above  the  plain.  A  stair- 
way of  marble  leading  up  to  this  platform  is  pecu- 
liar in  having  the  rise  only  3  or  4  inches  for  each 
step,  with  a  tread  of  14  inches,  and  the  side- 
approaches  decorated  with  sculpture.  The  rums 
here  show  such  parts  of  buildings  as  have  en- 
tirely disappeared  from  the  remains  in  Assyria, 
such  as  gates,  columns,  window-frames,  stair- 
cases, etc.,  and  giving  a  new  style  of  column- 
very  tall  and  slender.  Pasargadse  was  the  ancient, 
and  Persepolis  the  latter  capital  of  Persia. 

FER'SEUS.  Son  of  Philip  V  and  last  king  of 
Macedonia.  He  continued  the  war  with  Rome  af- 
ter his  father's  death  (B.  C.  179).  He  was  de- 
feated B.  C.  168  and  died  at  Alba  (1  Mace.  vm.  5). 
See  cut  on  p.  203. 

FEB'SIA  {pure).  The  province  of  Ears— Far- 
sistan;  is  now  not  very  large;  and  north  of  the 
Persian  Gulf.    The  ancient  empire  extended  north 

to  Media,  south 
to  the  Persian 
Gulf,  east  to  Ca- 
ramania,  and 
west  to  Susi- 
ana;  and  in  its 
greatest  prospei-- 
ity,  from  India 
to  Egypt  and 
Thrace  (Ez. 
xxxviii.  5).  The 
north  country  is 
mountainous,  with  very  few  valleys  or  plains, 
but  very  picturesque,  and  generally  fertile, 
among  which  is  the  famous  Shiraz  of  Arabian 
poetry.  That  part  bordering  the  Gulf  is  sandy, 
like  Arabia,  and  not  very  productive.^ 

The  original  religion  was  simple;  required  tem- 
ples, but  neither  altars,  images,  nor  priests,  and 
was  based  on  a  belief  in  the  double  nature  of  the 
infinite  power,  good  and  evil  (Ormu/.d  and  Ahri- 
man),  which  was  symbolized  by  light  and  dark- 
ness. Sacrifice  was  not  practiced.  Magianism  and 
fire-worship  mingled  with,  and  almost  superseded 
the  ancient  faith  ((iomates,  a  Magian,  became  em- 
peror, or  Shah,  B.  C.  522),  and  the  worship  grew 
more  and  more  complicated  until  the  empire  was 
destroyed.  The  Ahasuerus  of  Esther  is  probably 
Xerxes,  the  son  of  Darius,  by  Atossa,  the  daughter 


of  Cyrus,  the  founder  of  the  empire.  The  mar- 
riage with  Esther  is  supposed  to  have  taken  place 
in  the  seventh  year  of  his  reign,  the  year  after  his 
flight  from  defeat  in  Greece.  Artaxerxes,  his  son, 
is  mentioned  by  Ezra  (vii.  11-28)  and  Neheiniah 
(who  was  tlie  king's  cup-bearer,  ii.  1-9)  as  friend- 
ly to  the  Jews;  and  he  is  the  last  but  one  of  the 


KINO  AND  QUEEN  OF  PERSIA. 


PERSKI'OLIS. 


Persian  kings  mentioned  in  Scripture.  The  last 
was  Darius  the  Persian  (Neh.  xii.  22). 

FER'SIAU  (Heb.  parsi).  The  Persians  were 
probably  of  the  same  race  as  the  Medes,  both  of 
the  Aryan  root.  Their  mention  only  occurs  in  the 
later  periods  of  biblical  history.  In  Daniel,  Esther, 
Nehemiah  and  Ezra,  a  very  complete  idea  of  the 
Persian  court  and  administration  is  present(>d. 
The  vizier  or  secretary  of  state  was  invested  with 
great  power  as  illustrated  in  the  cases  of  Hainan 
and  Mordecai.  (See  Mordecai).  The  royal 
signet  was  the  badge  of  this  office.  The  re- 
markable influence  which  Esther  and  Mordecai 
exercised  over  Xerxes  was  the  result  of  the  noble 
qualities  of  mind  and  body,  for  which  the  Hebrew 
race  was,  and  still  is,  conspicuous. 

FEB'SIS  (Gr.  destroying).  A  Christian  woman

married  (his  wife's  name  was  Concordia?)  at  the 
time  of  his  call  to  follow  Jesus;  and  lived  with  his 
mother-in-law,  at  Capernaum.  He  was  a  fisherman, 
and  was  fishing  with  his  father  and  brother,  An- 
drew, when  Jesus  found  him.  Peter  and  his  brother 
Andrew  were,  probably,  disciples  of  John  the  Bap- 
tist. Peter,  James,  and  John,  only,  of  the  twelve, 
were  witnesses  of  the  transfiguration  and  the 
agony  in  Gethsemane.  It  seems  that  Peter  was 
niore  intimate  than  any  of  the  other  apostles  with 
Jesus,  for  the  tax-collector  asked  him  if  his  Master 
paid  tribute;  and  to  him  and  John  was  given  the 
duty  of  providing  the  lamb  for  the  paschal  supper, 
although  Judas  carried  the  purse.  Peter  walked 
on  the  Sea  of  Galilee,  but  his  heart  failed,  and  he 
cried  for  help.  He  frequently  declared  his  faith  in 
Jesus,  although  he  was  disappointed  that  the  ('l)rist 
was  not  the  temporal  prince  that  the  Jews  had 
looked  for.  He  first  refused  to  have  Jesus  wash 
his  feet;  but  when  he  learned  that  it  was  a  symbol, 
he  wished  to  have  his  hands  and  head  washc'd  also. 
He  boldly  and  vauntingly  avowed  his  attachment 
to  Jesus, "and  offered  to  lay  down  his  life  lor  Him, 
and  then  disgracefully  denied  Him  the  same  day,

and  wept  bitterly  when  conscious  of  what  he  had 
done.  Jesus  forgave  him,  accepted  his  renewed 
professions,  and  gave  him  a  new  commission  to 
work  in  liis  cause.  After  this  time  his  character 
changed.  Instead  of  a  liasty  zeal,  he  showed  a 
sober  dignity.  He  first  proclaimed  salvation 
through  a  crucified  Saviour,  and,  when  arrested 
with  the  others,  boldly  declared  his  faith  and 
purpose  before  the  Sanhedrin.  He,  by  a  mira- 
cle, punished  with  death  two  who  tried  an  ex- 
periment on  tlie  omniscience  of  the  Holy  Ghost; 
and  rebuked  Simon  the  magician,  at  Samaria,  who 
wished  to  buy  the  secret  of  working  miracles.  At 
Joppa  he  was  taught,  in  a  vision,  that  the  ancient 
ritual  distinctions  of  clean  and  unclean  were  abol- 
ished. Herod  put  him  in  prison,  at  Jerusalem, 
and  he  was  released  by  an  angel.  He  first  advo- 
cated an  exemption  from  the  ceremonial  law  of 
Moses.  Paul  rebuked  him  for  timidly  dissem- 
bling on  the  question  of  the  equality  of  the  Jews 
and  Gentiles,  at  Antioch.  Here  the  Gospel  history 
ends,  and  we  have  tradition  only  for  the  rest  of 
his  life,  which  says  that  he  traveled  (as  Paul  did) 
among  the  cities  and  churches  to  which  his  epistles 
ai'e  addressed,  in  Pontus,  Galatia,  Bithynia,  Cap- 
padocia,  and  Asia;  that  he  visited  Kome,  and  was 
made  bishop  of  the  church  there,  and  suffered  mar- 
tyrdom under  Nero,  being  crucified  with  his  head 
downward.

PHA'RAOH  (Heb.  par'oh,  the  king;  from  phra, 
the  sun).  The  title  of  the  kings  of  Egypt.  The 
Egyptian  king  represents  the  sun- god.  1.  The 
earliest  mention  of  Pharaoh  is  in  the  history  of 
Abraham  (Gen.  xii.  10-20);  probably  one  of  the 
shepherd-kings. — 2.  The  Pharaoh  of  Joseph  (Gen. 
xxxvii.  36.) — 3.  The  Pharaoh  of  the  oppression, 
"who  knew  not  Joseph." — 4.  The  Pharaoh  who 
enslaved  the  Israelites  is  supposed  by  some  to  have 
been  Rameses  II:  by  others,  as  of  Assyrian  descent, 
from  Is.  Iii.  4.  The  Exodus  is  dated  in  his  time.

Pharaoh  father-in-law  of  Solomon,  Psusennes  II 
(1  K.  iii.  1).  — 8.  Pharaoh,  the  ally  of  the 
Jews  against  Sennacherib  (Is.  xxxvi.  6) — 9. 
Pharaoh-Necho  (Jer.  xlvi.  2).  This  and  the 
Pharaoh  which  follows  are  the  only  two  mentioned 
with  proper  names.  He  appears  to  have  been  an 
enterprising  king,  and  to  have  reigned  16  years. 
He  opposed  the  Assyrians;  defeating  and  fatally 
wounding  Josiah,  King  of  Judah  (2  K.  xxiii.  29, 
30).  See,  also,  2  K.  xxiii.  30-34;  2  Chr.  xxxvi.  1-4. 
This  battle  lost  to  Pharaoh  all  his  Asiatic  domin- 


ions (2  K.  xxiv.  7). — 10  Pharaoh-Hophra  (son  of 
the  sun)  was  the  second  successor  of  Necho,  and 
mounted  the  throne  B.  C.  589.  Several  kings  of 
Egypt  are  mentioned  by  their  titles  only,  and  it  is 
important  to  give  some  account  of  them  by  way  of 
distinction: 

1.  The  Pharaoh  of  Abraham's  time,  according  to 
the  best  authors,  was  of  the  line  called  Shepherd- 
Kings  of  the  XVth  Dynasty.  The  presents  made 
to  Abraham  argue  that  Pharaoh  was  an  o\\Tier  of 
flocks  and  herds,  and  camels,  which  are  not  drawn 
on  the  monuments,  or  possessed  by  any  other  of 
Egypt's  kings  besides  the  Shepherd  line,  and  were 
regarded  by  the  people  as  hateful  animals.  See 
Abraham. 

2.  In  the  history  of  Joseph  there  are  many  par- 
ticulars of  the  Pharaoh  who  made  him  his  minister 
of  state.  In  the  account  of  the  death  of  Jacob, 
Joseph  is  made  to  address  a  petition  to  the  Pha- 
raoh, in  such  a  manner  as  to  give  the  impression 
that  it  was  a  successor  of  the  one  who  had  ad- 
vanced him  to  honor.  Some  discoveries  at  Zoan, 
Egypt,  lately  made,  have  determined  the  historical 
question,  that  the  Pharaohs  of  Joseph's  time  were 
shepherds,  who  had  become  Egyptianized,  and 
built  many  monuments,  which  are  known  for  sev- 
eral peculiarities.  A  strong  argument  is,  the  sup- 
position that  a  native  Egyptian  king  would  not 
have  elevated  a  Hebrew  slave  as  he  did  Joseph. 
In  our  day,  the  Oriental  rulers  make  viziers  of  bar- 
bers, or  of  any  one  who  has  the  requisite  ability, 
without  regard  to  rank,  condition,  or  religion. 

3.  The  "new  king  which  knew  not  Joseph," 
may  have  been  a  successor  in  the  Shepherd  line, 
but  it  is  possible,  if  not  probal)le,  that  he  was  of  a 
new  dynasty  which  did  not  favor  the  Hebrews.  He 
set  them  harder  tasks,  building  store  cities;  and 
attempted  to  diminish  them  by  the  use  of  mid- 
wives,  but  neither  plan  succeeded.  This  Pharaoh 
has  been  supposed  to  have  been  of  the  XVIIth 
dynasty,  but  it  is  difficult  to  determine  the  matter 
since  the  names  of  the  whole  line  are  unknown. 
His  residence  was  at  Avaris,  in  the  sandy  district, 
as  we  learn  from  the  fact  that  Moses  buried  the 
body  of  the  Egyptian  that  he  killed,  in  the  sand. 
The  kings  whose  names  are  found  in  the  Turin 
Papyrus  bear  names  which  are  Egyptian  transla- 
tions of  Assyrian  titles. 

4.  The  Pharaoh  of  the  Exodus  is  described  to  us 
as  impious  and  superstitious,  vascillating  between 
right  and  wrong.  He  seems  to  have  expected  the 
same  works  from  his  magicians  as  from  Moses  and 
Aaron.  He  was  ready  to  promise,  and  as  ready  to 
break  his  promise,  a  course  of  conduct  that  only 
ended  when  he  and  his  army  were  destroyed  in  the 
Red  Sea.  A  recently  deciphered  record  of  Thoth- 
mes  III,  contains  many  names  bordering  the  He- 
brew territory,  and  mentions  the  battle  of  ISIegiddo. 
The  Egyptians  were  either  friendly  at  that  time, 
or  deemed  it  prudent  to  remember  the  Red  Sea, 
and  not  attack  the  Hebrews.  The  first  king  of 
Egypt  after  the  Exodus  who  did  attack  them  was 
Shishak,  a  foreigner  in  that  country,  and  not 
acquainted  with  the  Jews.  The  f  riendlvEgyptians 
had  certain  privileges  under  the  law  (Deut.  xxiii. 

7). 

5.  Bithiah  a  Pharaoh's  daughter  maiTied  a  He- 
brew, Mered,  not  long  after  the  Exodus.  Mered 
had  a  sister  Miriam,  perhaps  named  after  the  sister 
of  Moses.  It  is  supposed  that  this  Pharaoh's 
daughter  was  taken  in  a  foray  from  some  caravan 
(1  Chr.  iv.  18). 

6.  A  Pharaoh  gave  shelter  to  Hadad  and  his  fol- 
lowers, enemies  of  Solomon,  assigning  them  land 
and  provisions,  and  married  his  wife's  sister  to  him 
(1  K.  xi.  18-20).  Hadad  returned  to  Palestine 
after  the  death  of  David  and  Joab.  It  is  not 
knovni  which  this  one  was,  any  nearer  than  that 
he  was  probably  the  predecessor  of  the  one  who 
gave  his  daughter  to  Solomon  for  a  wife.

7.  Solomon  married  a  Pharaoh's  daughter  not 
later  tlian  the  11th  year  of  his  reign.  This  king 
has  nut  been  identified.  He  made  a  raid  into 
Philistia,  took  a  eity  ((iezer),  and  gave  it  for  a 
present  to  his  daughter,  Solomon's  wife.  This  alli- 
ance to  Egypt  was  distinctly  forbidden  in  the  law, 
and  produced  fearful  disasters,  both  spiritual  and 
temporal. 

Then  after  him  came  the  Pharaohs  Shishak, 
Zerah,  and  So.  See  Shishak,  Zerah  and  So. 
Zerah  (Userken),  is  called  a  Cushite  (2  Chr.  xiv. 
9).  These  were  not  called  Pharaohs  because  they 
were  not  Egyj^tians,  and  had  foreign  names. 

8.  The  Pliaraoh  who  opposi'd  Sennacherib  was 
Tirhakah  of  Cash,  also  called  the  king  of  Mizraim. 
The  symbol  of  a  broken  reed  used  in  the  Scrip- 
tures suggests  the  title  of  the  king  of  Upper  Egypt, 
SD-TEN,  fi  rd-king,  whose  emblem  was  a  bent  reed. 
This  riiaraoli  was  Sctlios  according  to  Herodotus, 
called  Zet  by  Manetho. 

9.  The  first  Pharaoh  whose  proper  name  is  given 
is  Necho,  on  the  monuments  neku,  who  was  of 
XXVIth  dynasty,  and  reigned  16  years.  His 
name  is  given  to  a  part  of  tlie  canal  between  the 
Nile  and  the  Red  Sea;  and  is  credited  with  sending 
an  expedition  around  Africa  in  ships;  and  a  war 
again.st  Assyria,  in  which  he  killed  Josiah,  king  of 
Judali.  In  his  account  of  this  cxpfditiiui,  Herodo- 
tus calls  Jerusalem  Cadytis — almost  the  same  in 
sound  as  its  modern  Arabic  name  El-Kuds  (the 
Holy).  Some  suppose  that  Cadytis  refers  to  Ke- 
tesh,  on  the  Orontes,  which  was  then  the  chief  city* 
in  Syria.  Necho  at  that  time  worshiped  Apollo. 
On  "its  return  towards  Egypt,  at  Carchemish, 
Nebuchadnezzar  defeated  this  army,  Necho  proba- 
bly not  being  with  it.  The  Egyptian  after  that 
"came  not  again  out  of  his  land  "  towards  Pales- 
tine (2  K.  xxiv.  7). 

11.  Pharaoh  Hophra  was  the  second  successor 
after  Necho.  He  attacked  Sidon,  and  fought  a 
battle  at  sea  with  Tyre,  and  after  losing  an  army 
in  Cyrene,  probably  by  Nebuchadnezzar,  he  was 
superseded  by  Amasis  as  Pharaoh,  and  he  was 
strangled.  He  is  supposed  to  have  aided  king 
Zedekiah  in  one  of  his  wars  (Jer.  xxxvii.  5,  8). 
Ezekiel's  prophesy,  and  the  history  of  Herodotus 
agree  as  to  the  character  of  this  Pharaoh,  describ- 
ing him  as  an  arrogant  crocodile  (xxxix.  3).  There 
is  no  other  Pharaoh  mentioned  in  the  Scriptures 
after  Hophra. 

PHA'RAOH,  WIFE  OF.  Named  Tahpenes ;  wife 
of  the  tjth  Pliaraoh. 

PHARAOHS  DAUGHTER.  Three  daughters  of 
Pharaoh  appear  in  the  Scriptures :  1.  As  the  discov- 
erer of  the  infant  Moses,  daughter  of  3d  Pharaoh 
(Ex.  ii.  5-10).— 2.  Daughter  of  5th  Pharaoh— named 
Bithiah;  she  was  wife  of  Mered,  an  Israelite  (1  Chr. 
iv.  18).— 3.  Daughter  of  7th  Pharaoh;  married  to 
Solomon  (1  K.  iii.  1,  viii.  8,  ix.  24),  A  house  was 
built  for  her  (1  K.  vii.  8,  ix.  24).

his  daughter-in-law  Tamar  (Gen.  xxxviii.  29).  2. 
In  the  hue  of  David.  In  Ruth  iv.  12  occurs  the 
passage— "  Let  thy  house  be  like  the  house  of  Phco-

AZiTES  (Num.  xxvi.  60). 

PHARI  RA  (1  Esd.  v.  33).     Pertjda. 

PHAR  ISEES  (Heb.  perushim).  One  of  the 
three  sects  of  Judaism  in  the  time  of  Christ.  The 
name  means  separated  by  special  works.  The 
sect  included  all  Hebrews  who  separated  them- 
selves from  every  kind  of  Levitical  impurity,  fol- 
lowing the  Mosaic  law  of  purity. 

They  are  first  noticed  as  a  sect  about  150  B.  C, 
but  their  origin  is  not  recorded. 


Their  influence  was  very  great,  ruling,  beyond 
question,  the  Sanhedrin,  and  all  Jewish  society,  ex- 
cept the  slight  opposition  of  the  Sadducees,  even 
overawing  tlie  civil  courts  ;  and  as  they  had  gath- 
eri'd  to  themselves  all  the  worst  ft'atures  of  .Juda- 
ism in  the  time  of  Christ,  and  used  this  against  any 
reform,  and  especially  against  the  Messiah,  it  was 
needful  that  Jesus  should  protest  against  them; 
and  the  contest  resulting  from  his  protest  grew 
fiercer  and  more  relentless  on  the  part  of  the  Phari- 
sees, ending  only  with  the  crucifixion. 

The  applicant  for  admission  to  the  sect  was  re- 
quired to  promise  in  the  presence  of  three  mem- 
bers :  1.  That  he  would  not  eat  of  anything  which 
had  not  been  tithed,  nor  if  there  was  any  doubt 
about  it;  and  2.  That  he  would  keep  the  law  of 
purity  in  all  matters,  most  especially  in  family 
affair's. 

In  this  matter  they  made  of  the  civil  rule  of 
tithes  a  religious  obligation,  and  so  set  apart  the 
tithe  as  a  holy  thing,  and  taught  that  the  eating  of 
a  holy  thing  was  a  deadly  sin;  and  that  if  the  tithe 
was  not  taken  out,  set  apart,  and  paid  to  the  priest, 
the  whole  produce  was  unlawful  for  food. 

The  law  of  clean  and  unclean  was  also  applied 
in  tlie  extreme. 

Their  doctrines  and  rules  are  the  basis  of  the 
faith  of  the  orthodox  party  of  the  Jews  to  this  day. 
The  Essenes  were  a  kind  of  intensified  Pharisees, 
and  the  Sadducees  were  never  a  large  or  influential 
sect. 

The  Pharisees  made  themselves  the  people's 
party  by  teaching  that  "God  has  given  to  all  men 
alike  the  kingdom,  the  priesthood,  and  Holiness  (2 
Mace.  ii.  17).  They  ti'ied  to  realize  that  the  Jews 
were  a  people  of  priesU,  a  holy  iiation,  by  diligent 
study  of  the  law,  a  preparation  for  the  office  and 
duties  of  Rabbi,  and  by  arranging  the  concerns  of 
life  on  the  model  of  those  who  minister  in  holy 
things. 

Their  social  meals  vzere  modeled  after  the  pas- 
chal supper,  with  all  its  ablutions,  blessings,  and 
Levitical  rules. 

That  Jesus  did  not  overstate  their  peculiar  de- 
fects their  own  account  of  themselves  will  show. 
The  Talmud  says : 

' '  There  are  seven  kinds  of  Pharisees  ; 

1.  Shechemites;  who  keep  the  law  for  what  it 
will  profit  them. 

2.  Tumblers;  always  hanging  down  the  head, 
and  dragging  the  feet. 

3.  Bleeders;  who  to  avoid  looking  at  women  shut 
their  eyes  and  so  bump  their  heads. 

4.  Mortars ;  wearing  caps  in  the  form  of  a  mortar, 
covering  the  eyes  from  seeing  impurities. 

5.  What-am-I-yet-to-doers;  who  as  soon  as  one 
law  is  kept,  ask  what  is  next. 

6.  Fearers;  who  keep  the  law  from  fear  of  a 
judgment. 

7.  Lovers;  who  obey  Jehovah  because  they  love 
him  with  all  the  heart. 

Siirely  this  indicates  that  they  were  impartially 
divided  among  fanatics  and  worldly-minded  hypo- 
crites; and  yet  they  had  developed  the  ideas  of  a 
Messiah,  of  a  kingdom  of  heaven,  the  immortality 
of  the  soul,  the  future  life.  Of  them  were  the 
devout  Simeon,  who  took  the  infant  Jesus  in  his 
arms;  and  also  Zacharias,  and  (Gamaliel,  and  Saul 
of  Tarsus,  who  never  uttered  a  word  against  the 
sect. 

Jesus  described  them  as  whited  sepulchres,  hid- 
den graves,  and  in  retaliation  they  were  his  most 
determined  enemies. 

The  spirit  of  proselytism  (Matt,  xxiii.  15),  which 
was  so  strong  in  the  time  of  Christ,  led  the  way  for 
the  spread  of  Christianity,  as  is  plainly  shown  in 
Paul's  life.  Their  peculiar  doctrines  also  ojiencd 
the  minds  of  men  for  the  new  facts  of  the  life  and 
work  of  .Tesus.

than  all  the  waters  of  Israel  (2  K.  v.  12).  The 
Awaj  is  divided  from  the  Barada  (see  Abana)  by 
the  ridge  of  the  Jebel  Aswad,  which  is  no  where 
less  than  8  ms.  wide.  It  has  two  sources  in  the  S. 
E.  slopes  of  Hermon — one  near  the  village  of 
Arny,  and  the  other  near  Beit  Jenn,  the  two 
streams  uniting  below  Sasa — and  empties  into  the 
Hijaneh,  the  most  southerly  of  the  lakes  E.  of 
Damascus.  There  are  nearly  50  villages  in  its 
course,  containing  about  18,000  people  (Porter, 
Five  Years  in  Damascus).

the  6th  century  B.  C,  but  became  a  resort  of 
pirates.  It  was  a  convenient  port,  on  account  of 
the  lofty  mountain  Solyma  (8,000  ft.),  which  was 
only  4  ms.  back  of  the  city,  affording  a  landmark 
for  sailors.  Homer  mentions  the  Solyma  range  in 
the  Odyssey.  The  Romans  broke  up  the  pirates' 
stronghold,  under  Publius  Servilius  Isauricus,  B. 
C.  75,  and  Pompey.  The  Romans  required  all 
their  allies  to  deliver  up  to  Simon,  the  high-priest, 
all  Jewish  exiles,  naming  this  city  among  others  (1 
Mace.  XV.  2.3).

there  from  Fair  Havens  when  the  storm  drove  the 
vessel  into  Adria  (Acts  xxvii.  12).  The  White 
Mountains  rise  9,000  ft.  near  the  bay,  which  is  a

bably a  native  of  Colossse,  to  whom  Paul  addressed 
the  Epistle.    See  History  op  the  Books.    In  this 


Epistle  Paul  recommends  the  granting  pardon  to 
Onesimus,  who  conveyed  the  Epistle,  with  those  to 
the  Oolossiaus  and  Ephesians,  from  Rome  to  Co- 
lossse.  See  Philemon  i.  2,  iv.  7,  19,  etc.,  and  Col.

a  man  of  wealth,  influence  and  liberality.

PHILE'TUS.  An  apostate  Christian,  who  joined 
with  Hymenceus  and  Alexander  (1  Tim.  i.  20, 
and  2  Tim.  ii.  18). 

TKIL'IP  {f07id  of  horses).  1.  Father  of  Alexan- 
der the  Great  (1  Mace.  i.  1,  vi.  2).  King  of  Mace- 
donia, B.  C.  359-336.-2.  Governor  at  Jerusalem 
(B.  C.  170).  He  was  very  cruel  toward  the  Jews 
(2  Mace.  V.  22)  .—3.  The  foster-brother  (ix.  29)  of 
Antiochus  Epiphanes,  regent  of  Syria  and  guar- 
dian of  Antiochus  V  (B.  C.  164),  son  of  the  king 
(1  Mace.  vi.  14,  15,  55,  56,  63).— 4.  Philip  V,  king 
of  Macedonia,  B.  C.  220-179  (1  Mace.  viii.  5). 

PHIL'IP.  One  of  the  twelve  apostles.  A  native 
of  Bethsaida,  in  Galilee  (John  i.  44).  He  became 
a  disciple  of  John  the  Baptist,  and  was  the  fourth 
of  the  twelve  in  the  order  of  his  call.  He  intro- 
duced Nathanael,  who  was  afterwards  called  Bar- 
tholomew, the  fifth  apostle.  Jesus  asked  Philip 
where  bread  (vi.  5)  was  to  be  found  for  feeding 
the  5000,  and  Philip  did  not  even  suspect  the  real 
source ;  nor  did  he  seem  to  know  the  spiritual 
character  of  Jesus  and  his  teaching  much  later, 
when  he  said  to  him,  "  Lord,  show  us  the  Father," 
(xiv.  8),  and  he  had  heard  the  voice  from  heaven, 
which  was  sent  for  the  special  instruction  of  such 
as  were  so  slow  to  perceive  the  light — although  he 
was  at  Cana  when  the  water  was  made  wine.  He 
consulted  with  Andrew  before  gratifying  the  re- 
quest of  the  Jews  from  Greece  to  see  Jesus  (out 
of  curiosity  only?)  Philip  was  with  the  other 
apostles  in  that  "upper  room"  (Acts  i.  13)  at 
Jerusalem,  after  the  ascension,  and  on  the  day  of 
Pentecost. 

Tradition  says  he  preached  in  Phrygia.  There 
is  no  account  of  his  death.

PHILIP,  THE  EVANGELIST. 
A  resident  (in  the  latter  part 
of  his  life)  of  Csesarea,  where 
he  had  a  wife  and  family,  of 
whom  four  daughters  are  men- 
tioned as  singers.  He  was  one 
of  the  SEVEN  DEACONS  of  the 
Church  in  Judsea  (Acts  vi.  5, 
viii.  29).  After  Stephen  was 
stoned  he  went  to  Samaria, 
where  he  baptized  the  magician 
Simon.  From  there  he  was  sent 
by  Peter  to  Gaza,  and  on  the 
way  (at  Ain  Karem?)  he  bap- 
tized the  Ethiopian  eunuch 
(Acts  viii.  26-40).  His  tour  ex- 
tended from  Azotus  to  Cse- 
sarea,  where  he  settled,  and 
was  visited  by  Paul,  Agabus, 
and  others  (xxi.  8,  9).  His 
death  is  not  recorded. 

PHILIP'PI.  In  Macedonia, 
9  miles  from  the  sea,  on  the 
banks  of  the  deep,  rapid  stream  Gangites  (now 
Angista).  Paul  says:  "On  the  Sabbath  we  went 
out  of  the  city  by  the  river  side,  where  prayer 
was  wont  to  be  made  "  (Acts  xvi.  13).  The  ancient 
walls  can  be  traced  along  the  course  of  the  river; 
and  there  are  remains  of  a  gate  leading  to  a 
bridge  across  the  stream.  Philippi  was  a  Roman 
military  colony,  originally  named  Krenides 
{Kprings),  or  Datum;  and  the  Jews  were  proba- 
bly not  permitted  to  worship  inside  of  the  walls.

PHILISTIA 


245 


PH(EBE 


A  ridge,  1600  feet  high,  behind  the  city,  divided  a 
broad  plain  from  tlie  bay  and  town  of  Neupoiis, 
in  Thrace.  The  mines  protlucod  1000  talents  of 
gold  a  year,  from  which  Philip's  coins  were  made 
(see  Coin,  in  Macedonia).  The  Via  Egnatia 
passed  through  it.  The  ruins  of  the  city  are  very 
extensive,  but  the  place  is  not  inhabited. 
The  famous  battle  which  ended  the  Koman  Ke- 

Eublic,  was  fought  on  this  plain,  near  Philippi, 
etween  armies  led  by  Octavius  Cicsar  and  Marc 
Antony  on  one  side,  and  on  the  other  by  Brutus 
and  Cassius,  who  were  defeated  with  then-  repub- 
lican forces  (B.  C.  42). 

Paul  visited  the  city  a  third  time  (Acts  xx.  6), 
where  he  remained,  in  company  with  Silas,  for 
some  time.  The  church  at  I'hilippi  was  friendly 
to  Paul,  and  sent  him  help  frequently  (Phil.  iv. 
10,  15,  18;  2  Cor.  xi.  9;  1  Thess.  ii.  2),  for  which, 
and  their  other  kindnesses,  he  wrote  them  an 
Epistle  from  Home. 

PHILIS  TIA  {emigrant).  Palestine  (Ps.  xl.  8). 
A  region  extending  from  Joppa,  40  nules  south,  to 
Gerar,  being  10  miles  wide  at  the  north  and  20  at 
the  south,  and  generally  called  Shefelah  in  the 
Scriptures.  The  propliets  describe  the  people  as 
the  Philistines  from  Caphtor  (Amos  ix.  7),  tlie 
remnant  of  the  maritime  district  (Jer.  xlvii.  4); 
and  Moses  as  the  Caphtorim  that  came  out  of 
Caphtor  (Deut.  ii.  23)  and  drove  out  the  Avim. 
This  would  require  us  to  read  Gen.  x.  14,  "and 
Caphtorim,  wlience  came  Philistim."  (See  Caph- 
tor). The  most  reasonable  supposition  seems  to 
be  that  Philistia  was  settled  by  emigrants  from 
Egypt,  dating  from  the  time  of  Amenoph,  B.  C. 
1970,  up  to  the  time  of  the  Judges  in  Israel, 
B.  C.  1200. 

Since  we  have  only  ten  or  twelve  words  remain- 
ing out  of  their  language,  and  these,  it  may  be, 
affected  by  contact  'with  the  Hebrew  forms,  it  is 
impossible  to  determine  their  origin  as  a  race. 
They  came  after  the  Canaanites  (Gen.  x.  19),  who 
once  occupied  as  far  as  Gaza  and  Gerar.  Abime- 
lech  was  king  of  the  Philistines  in  Abraham's 
time.  Moses  avoided  them  on  account  of  their 
strength;  and  Joshua  found  a  confederacy  of  five 
cities— Gaza,  Gath,  Askelon,  Ashdod  and  Ekron— 
ruled  by  princes,  with  whom  he  did  not  go  to  war. 
The  first  victory  over  them  is  recorded  of  Sliamgar, 
who  killed  600  with  an  ox-goad.  They  carried  off 
the  sacred  ark  after  the  battle  of  Apliek,  and  only 
restored  it  in  David's  time,  when  their  territory 
was  added  to  the  kingdom  of  Judah;  and  the  great 
king  made  Ittai,  a  man  of  Gath,  captain  of  his 
body-guard,  who  were  Philistines  (2  Sam.  xv.). 
For  the  location  of  the  chief  city  of  Philistia  see 
Gath. 

Their  religion  was  similar  to  that  of  Phoenicia — 
nature- worship.  Their  name  for  God  was  Elohim; 
but  they  had  other  special  divinities,  such  as  Da- 
gon,  Derketo,  Baal  Zebub,  and  Ashtoreth,  whose 
images  were  carried  with  them  on  their  campaigns, 
besides  charms  which  they  wore  on  their  persons 
(2  Mace.  xii.  40).  Josephus  speaks  of  a  council  of 
500  rulers  at  Gaza  (Ant.  xiii.  13,  3).  Baal  was  a 
union  of  human  (the  head)  and  fish-like  forms. 
Oracles,  priests,  sorcerers,  altars,  temples,  etc., 
were  scattered  all  over  the  land.

See  Philistia. 

PHILOL'OGTJS  (learned).  A  Christian  at  Kome 
(Rom.  xvi.  15). 

PHILOSOPHY.  There  was  no  Hebrew  system 
of  philosophy.  The  divine  law  furnished  the  rule, 
about  which  no  speculation  was  needed.  Facts 
built  upon  a  species  of  divine  philosophy,  which 
led  from  God  to  man.  The  Greek  philos6i)hy  led 
the  mind  from  man  up  towards  God.  The  i)hiloso- 
phy  of  the  Hebrews  was  developed  in  their  na- 
tional life ;  their  books  recording  acts  and  not 
thouglits.    The  two  books,  Job  and  Ecclesiastes, 


have  many  philosophical  thoughts.  See  History 
OF  the  Books. 

The  Kabbala,  mystical  and  speculative  philoso- 
phy, arose  in  ilie  time  of  the  Cai)tivity,  and  flour- 
ished most  cUiiing  the  decay  of  the  nation,  when  it 
was  subject  to  the  influence  of  other  people,  espe- 
cially the  Greeks.  The  Kabbala  in  its  two  great 
divisions,  "the  chariot,"  which  treated  with  the 
manifestation  of  God  in  Himself,  and  "the  crea- 
tion," with  His  manifestation  in  Nature.  The  in- 
fluence of  other  philosophies  resulted  in  the  adopt- 
ing the  Persian  idea  of  emanation,  and  of  the 
Incarnation,  afterwards  a  leading  idea  in  the 
Christian  Church.  Tlie  books  now  known  among 
Jews  on  these  subjects  do  not  claim  an  earlier  date 
than  A.  D.  1000  to  1550,  and  arc  colored  all  through 
with  Pantheism.  There  are  diluted  imitations  of 
tlie  teachings  of  Pythagoras;  and  are  much  af- 
fected with  the  mystery  of  numbers  (see  Kabba- 
la). Numbers  are  used  to  express  the  idea  of  the 
Divine  Wisdom,  the  universe  being  a  harmonious 
thought  of  Divine  Wisdom,  which  having  been 
formed  into  letters  becomes  reflected  into  man's 
soul ;  and  he  represents  the  whole  universe  repeated 
in  miniature.  This  mingling  of  many  systems, 
without  definite  design,  produced  a  school  of  inter- 
preters of  tlie  supposed  hidden  meanings  of  Scrip- 
ture texts,  whose  influence  is  still  felt  in  some 
quarters  of  the  Christian  Church. 

The  Pharisees  were  Stoics  in  their  philosophy 
(see  Pharisees).  The  Sadducees  advocated  hu- 
man freedom  in  its  purest  and  widest  sense  (see 
Sadducees).  The  Essenes  taught  a  system  of 
mystic  asceticism  (see  Essenes),  which,  with  the 
other  two  sects,  completed  the  cycle  of  doctrine. 

Much  interesting  detail  on  these  points  may  be 
found  in  the  fourth  book  of  Maccabees  (see  Hist. 
OP  THE  Books). 

In  Proverbs  there  is  a  certain  advance  in  the  idea 
of  wisdom  as  a  philosophy,  which  was  expanded 
in  the  Wisdom  op  Soi-omon,  and  in  Ecclesiasti- 
cus  (see  History  op  the  Books),  in  which  there 
is  an  approach  to  the  doctrine  of  the  Word,  the 
Divine  Logos,  which  John  stated  so  clearly  and 
truthfully.  Philo  had  treated  the  subject,  but  not 
plainly,  and  the  Gnostics  mystified  it  beyond  all 
possibility  of  understanding  beginning  or  end. 

Ancient  pliilosophy  has  been  regarded  as  a  kind 
of  covenant  between  God  and  man,  which  stood 
to  the  pagan  world  as  the  Abrahamic  covenant  did 
to  the  Hebrews,  and  in  a  peculiar  sense  it  was  a 
preparation  for  Christianity,  for  which  work  the 
Greek  philosophy  was  most  fit. 

Philosophy  is  a  natural  outgrowth  of  human 
thought  in  tne  west,  as  the  promulgation  of  law  is 
natural  to  the  despotic  character  of  the  Oriental. 
Greek  philosophy  was  based  on  simple  reason, 
without  reference  to  faith,  which  stood  separate 
and  distinct  by  itself.  After  the  Christian  Church 
was  established, philosophy  left  Greece  and  renewed 
its  vitality  in  Alexandria,  Egypt  (see  Alexan- 
dria). But  the  grand  questions  of  the  creation, 
future  life,  and  man's  true  relation  to  God  were 
left  unsettled  by  philosophy,  and  were  only  an- 
swered by  the  simple  and  sublime  words  of  the  Old 
Testament  and  the  New. 

The  spirit  of  Christianity  is  independent  of  his- 
tory and  of  persons,  and  concerns  the  immediate 
relation  of  the  soul  to  God.

PHCENICIA 


246 


PHCENICIA 


Cenchrese."    She  was  probably  the  bearer  of  the 

Epistle  to  the  Konians. 

PH(ENIC'IA.  Phoenice  {p^oinix — palm  tree). 
Phoiuos,  purple,  another  derivation  of  tlie  name. 
Phcenix,  i\w.  son  of  Agenor,  and  brother  of  Cad- 
mus, is  also  honored  as  the  source.  This  was  the 
Greek  name,  while  the  native  name  was  kenaan, 
as  may  be  seen  on  a  coin  of  Laodicea,  of  the  time 
of  Antiochus  Epiphanes;  and  from  them — the 
strongest  race — the  country  was  called  by  the  He- 
brews the  Land  of  Canaan.  The  country  extend- 
ed from  the  Ladder  of  Tyre,  or  rather  the  Kas  el 
Abyad  (  White  Cape),  to  the  Nahr  el  Auly,  above 
Sidon,  28  miles;  with  a  width  at  Sidon  of  two 
miles,  and  at  Tyre  of  five;  and  was  called  by  Jo- 
sephus  the  great  plain  of  Sidon  (Ant.  v.  3,  1). 
Sidon  and  Tyre  were  20  miles  apart.  (See  Sidon 
and  Tyre).  Sarepta  was  a  colony  of  Sidon,  8 
miles  south ;  and  Tyre  was  either  a  colony  of  Sidon 
or  received  the  honor  of  a  change  of  the  chief  rule 
to  it,  after  the  war  with  the  Pliilistines,  because  it 
was  a  stronger  place  than  Sidon.  Perhaps,  at  this 
time,  the  island  was  fortified.  There  were  also 
colonies  in  Cyprus,  the  Grecian  Isles,  Lybia,  and 
in  Spain.  Phoenicia  was  extended,  in  later  times, 
north  to  the  Island  of  Aradus,  and  Antaradus,  the 
boundary  being  the  river  Eleutherus,  making  a 


male  and  female  powers;  whose  symbols  were  the 
sun,  moon  and  planets  (7),  which  has  been  said  to 
have  been  the  most  complete  and  beautilul  form  of 
idolatry  ever  devised.  This  system  always  had  an 
influence  over  the  Hebrews,  more  or  less  in  differ- 
ent ages,  recommended  to  the  simple,  pastoral  Jews 
by  the  wealth  and  polished  mannere  of  the  com- 
mercial Phcenicians.  Solomon  paid  his  respect  to 
King  Hiram  by  making  shrines  to  his  gods  on  Oli- 
vet, and  his  successors  permitted  houses  to  be 
built  near  the  Temple  for  idolatrous  practices  (2 
K.  xxni.  7).  The  worst  feature  of  the  system  was 
the  sacrifice  of  children  to  the  god  Molech.  The 
colonies  of  Phoenicia  also  inherited  this  dreadful 
superstition,  and  we  read  that  when  Carthage  was 
besieged  by  Agathocles,  there  were  offered  as 
burnt  sacrifices  to  the  god  Saturn  (the  planet),  at 
the  public  expense,  200  boys  of  the  aristocracy;  and 
when  they  had  gained  a  victory,  the  most  beauti- 
ful captives  were  sacrificed  in  the  same  manner 
(Diod.  XX.  14,  65).  The  worship  of  Astarte  also 
tended  to  break  down  the  restraints  of  virtue  be- 
tween the  sexes,  and  to  solemnize  the  most  abomi- 
nable practices.  Twice  were  a  large  number  of 
the  priests  of  Baal  destroyed  by  a  reformer  in  Is- 
rael; by  Elijah,  who  killed  450  on  Mt.  Carmel, 
and  by  Jehu,  who  gathered  all  the  Baal  worship-

coast  of  120  miles.    Beirut  is  now  the  chief,  and 

almost  the  only  port  of  this  region.  Gebal  was 
anciently  famous  for  its  ship-builders,  sailors  (Ez. 
xxvii.  9),  and  workers  in  .stone.  Tripolis  (now 
TarabuluH)  was  colonized  in  three  distinct  districts 
a  few  rods  apart,  each  walled  in  and  named  after 
the  cities  from  whence  the  emigrants  came— Tyre, 
Sidon  and  Aradus.  Aradus  (Arvad,  Gen.  x.  18) 
was  on  a  small  island,  colonized  from  Sidon.  Mas- 
sive ruins  are  still  standing  there.  Carthage,  in 
Africa,  was  its  most  famous  colony.  (For  rivers, 
etc.,  see  Lebanon). 

The  language  was  Semitic  (that  is,  from  Shem), 
to  which  family  belong  the  Arabic,  Aramaic  and 
the  Hebrew,  which  are  as  nearly  allied  as  are 
English  and  German.  No  other  language  was  so 
widely  spread,  because  of  their  mariners  and  colo- 
nists. The  Greeks  gave  the  honor  of  tlie  invention 
of  letters  to  the  Phoenicians,  having  first  received 
16  letters  from  Cadmus  {eastern  or  olden).  (See 
Alphabets).  The  letters  are  supposed  to  have 
been  originally  rude  pictures,  in  outline,  of  natural 
objects,  as— Aleph,  an  ox's  head;  Beth,  a  house; 
Gimel,  a  camel  (the  hump-back);  Daleth,  the 
tent-door;  Lamed,  an  ox-goad;  Ajin,  an  eye;  Caph, 
the  back  of  the  head;  Reish,  the  head;  and  Tau, 
a  cross.  The  Egyptian  phonetic  characters  were 
made  on  the  same  principle.  The  names  of  the 
Greek  letters  which  end  in  a,  are  Aramaic  in  form. 

The  religion  was  a  nature-worship,  recognizing 


ers  in  Israel,  and  in  true  OrieBtal  style  gave  each 
one  a  garment  for  the  grand  occasion,  and  then 
killed  every  one,  and  burned  the  images  and  de- 
stroyed the  temple  of  Baal  (2  K.  x.  18-28).  The 
Phoenicians  believed  in  the  development  theory, 
that  the  first  created  beings  were  without  intellect, 
and  progressed  from  one  stage  to  another  up  to 
man  (Sanchoniathon).  Melchisedec  was  of  this 
race  and  faith,  worshiping  Elyon,  called  their 
most  high  god  ;  but  Abraham  worshiped  Jehovah, 
the  Lord  (Gen.  xiv.  22). 

The  country  has  always  had  a  great  many  tribes, 
each  holding  to  its  peculiar  religion,  and  they  now 
live  together,  but  separate,  without  friendship  or 
mutual  trust,  suspecting  and  hating  every  other 
faith  but  their  own-  and  this  want  of  common 
union  is  the  great  obstacle  to  their  progress. 

There  is  a  hopeful  future  for  this  people,  for 
which  the  American  mission  is  preparing  the  way 
quickening  a  desire  and  taste  for  education  among 
the  young  of  all  classes,  and  of  every  faith,  and 
meeting  these  new  demands  with  schools  of  the 
best  grades,  good  books,  and  qualified,  earnest 
teachers.  The  material  progress  of  the  country 
will  follow  the  advance  in  its  moral  elevation,  as 
is  the  case  in  all  other  lands.  The  population  is 
stated  by  Thompson  (Land  and  Book,  i.  246)  to  be 
less  than  two  millions,  divided  among  Moslems, 
the  rulers  (800,000),  Kurds  (50,000),  Nusariyeh 
(Arabs,   150,000),  Yezidy  and  Gipsies    (20,000),

(Coptic  Pascht) .  The  city  was  built  on  an  artificial 
elevation,  raised  by  criminals  (chiefly),  from  the 
mud  taken  from  the  canals  leading  from  this  place 
to  Suez.  Pascht  was  the  goddess  "of  fire,  and  had 
a  grand  temple  in  her  honor, 
to  which  multitudes  flocked 
yearly  on  pilgrimage.  Hero- 
dotus describes  the  city  veiy 
minutely  (ii.  5-9).  The  only 
remains  are  a  few  stones  of 
the  finest  red  granite,  and 
heaps  of  broken  pottery,  mud

PI'LATE,  PONTIUS.     (  L.  Pilatm,  probably  from 

Silum,  armed  witli  a  javelin.  Pontius— probably  of 
•ens  Pontia  a  plebeian  clan  of  Samnite  origni) 
The  sixth  Roman  procurator  of  Judsa,  the  suc- 
cessor of  Valerius  Gratus,  under  Tiberius  C?esar 
(Luke  iii.  1).  Tacitus  \vi-ites  "The  author  of  that 
name  (Christian)  or  sect  was  Christ,  who  was  capi- 
tally punished  in  the  reign  of  Tiberius  by  Pontius 
Pilate."  The  early  fathers,  Justin  ]\Iartyr,  Euse- 
bius,  Tertullian  and  others,  say  that  Pilate  sent 
to  Rome  an  oflicial  report  of  tne  trial  of  Christ. 
Pilate  oppressed  the  Jews,  and  violated  the 
Roman  law  which  respected  the  Jewish  religion; 
of  this  there  is  the  especial  evidence  of  Josephus 
(Ant.  xviii.  3,  1).  He  disregarded  the  law  in 
having  brought  into  Jerusalem  effigies  upon  the 
ensigns,  and  by  an  attempt  to  force  their  intro- 
duction. Also  in  appropriating  sacred  money  or 
treasure  for  the  construction  of  an  aqueduct  (Luke 
xiii.  1).  During  the  feasts  the  Roman  governors 
resided  in  Jerusalem  to  preserve  order.  Thus  at 
the  feast  of  the  Passover,  Pilate  was  in  Jerusalem 
in  his  oflicial  residence,  Herod's  palace.  It  Avas  to 
the  gates  of  this  palace  that  the  Jews  brought 
Christ  in  the  early  morning,  they  not  entering  the 
house  of  a  Gentile  at  the  period  of  Passover  (John 
xviii.  28).  Pilate  therefore  came  out  to  hear  the 
indictment.  (See  Jesus.)  Pilate  assumed  his 
office  about  A.  D.  25.  After  ten  years  an  appeal 
from  the  Samaritans  (whom  he  had  oppressed)  to 
Vitellius,  the  President  of  Syiia,  caused  him  to  be 
sent  to  Rome,  to  answer  the  charges  brought 
against  him.  Tiberius  died  ere  he  reached  Rome. 
It  is  generally  held  that  he  committed  suicide  from 
mortification.

PIN'NACLE  (Matt.  iv.  5) .  Some  high  part  of  the 
Temple,  or  of  the  courts  or  wings  belonging  to  it. 
Josephus  says  Herod  built  the  royal  gallery  on  the 
S.  part,  from  the  top  of  which,  if  any  one  looked 
down,  he  would  become  dizzy  (Wars,  v.  5,  Ant. 
XV.  11,  5,  XX.  9,  7).  Late  explorations  have  discov- 
ered the  actual  hight  of  the  foundation  wall  to  be 
about  150  ft.,  and  the  Temple  buildings  must  have 
been  50  to  75  ft.  more;  making  over  200  ft.  (287  ft. 
— Barclay,  City  of  Great  J^iig,  251).  Eusebius 
says  that  James,  brother  of  Jesus,  was  precipitated 
from  this  hight.

PIS'GAH  (fo  divide — i.  e.,  isolated  peak) .  Moun- 
tain in  Moab  (Dent.  iii.  17,  xxxiv.  1;  Josh.  xii.  3, 
xiii.  20).  Although  minutely  described  in  the 
Scriptures,  yet  it  has  been  difficult  to  locate.  The 
present  explanation  of  the  matter  is,  that  Abarim 
was  the  name  of  the  range;  Neboone  of  the  peaks; 
and  Pisgah  the  top  of  Nebo.  The  passage  would 
then  read,  ' '  Moses  went  up  to  Mount  Nebo,  to  the 
top  of  the  hill."  (See  Nebo).  The  name  Ras  el 
Feshkah  (the  same  as  Pisgah)  must  have  been 
transferred  across  the  Dead  Sea,  as  well  as  the 
name  of  the  Jebel  Mousa,  S.  E.  of  Bethany. 

PISID'IA.  In  Asia  Minor,  S.  of  Phrygia,  E.  of 
Lydia,  W.  of  Cilicia,  and  N.  of  Pamphylia.  It 
is  mountainous,  but  has  many  fertile  plains  and 
valleys.  The  scenery  is  wild  and  grand  (some 
cliffs  rising  1000  ft.  over  a  foaming  torrent); 
hightened  by  forests  of  oak,  pine,  and  other  trees, 
orchards  of  fruit-trees,  and  vineyards.  Its  people, 
in  the  time  that  Paul  traveled  through  it,  were 
warlike  highlanders,  and  probably  exposed  the 
Apostle  to  the  "perils  of  robbers"  that  he  men- 
tions. Antioch  was  in  Pisidia,  though  on  the  bor- 
der of  Phrygia.

low.—2.  Shahath  (Ps.  ix.  15),  a  pit  dug  into  the 
earth.— 3.  bor  (Gen.  xxxvii.  30,  ff),  a  pit  for  water. 

PITCH.  A  mineral  pitch  or  asphalt.  Heb.  1. 
zepheth  (Ex.  ii.  3),  liquid.— 2.  hemar,  solid.— 3.

work.   Its  nature  is  mentioned  in  Is.  xxxiv.  9. 

PITCH'ER  (Heb.  kad,  barrel).  Water-jars  with 
one  or  two  handles,  used  by  women  for  carrying 
water  (Gen.  xxiv.  15-20).   They  are  carried  on  the 


head  or  shoulder.  The  Bedawin  women  use  skin- 
bottles  (Gen.  xxi.  14).

breast  plate  of  the  high  priest  (Ex.  xxviii.  17), 
See  Precious  Stones.

line  of  the  ancient  canal  to  the  Red  Sea. 

PI'THON.  A  descendant  of  Saul,  son  of  Micah

PLAGUES,  THE,  OF  EGYPT.  The  so-called 
plagues  of  Egypt  form  the  chief  part  of  the  mira- 
culous side  of  tlie  great  deliverance  of  the  Israel- 
ites from  Egyptian  bondage.  These  plagues  will 
teach  essentially  the  same  lessons  that  the  de- 
liverance itself  teaches.  Indeed,  the  meaning  of 
the  deliverance  from  Egypt  will  be  best  learned 
from  considering  these  miracles,  which  show  it  not 
to  have  been  a  mere  symbolcal  act — shadowing 
or  foreshadowing  by  this  temporal  deliverance  from 
worldly  bondage  a  spiritual  redemption  from  spiri- 
tual oppression — but  to  have  been  itself  a  conflict 
with  the  powers  of  evil,  deep  and  various,  and  a 
victory  over  them,  and  so  a  real  redemption  from 
the  oppression  of  spiritual  wickedness.  The  Jew- 
ish people  were  not  only  oppressed  with  sore  bond- 
age in  brick  and  mortar,  but  their  spirits  were  led 
captive  under  Egyptian  idolatries ;  and  the  sight 
and  circumstances  of  this  deliverance  shook  them 
clear  of  these  enslaving  influences,  though  not  com- 
pletely.   The  so-called  plagues  are  ten  m  number: 

I.  The  turning  of  the  waters  of  the  Nile  into  blood 
(Ex.  vii.  15).  2.  Bringing  up  frogs  from  the  river 
(Ex.  viii.  1).  3.  The  gnats  or  mosquitoes  (Ex. 
viii.  16).  4.  Of  flies  (Ex.  viii.  20).  5.  The  mur- 
rain of  beasts  (Ex.  ix.  6).  6.  The  boils  upon  men 
and  beasts  (Ex.  ix.  8).  7.  Hail,  etc.  (Ex.  ix.  13). 
8.  The  locusts  (Ex.  x.).  9.  The  darkness  (Ex.  x. 
21).  10.  Tiie  destruction  of  the  first-born  of  man 
and  beast  (Ex.  xi.).  The  number  ten  is  significant, 
ending,  as  it  does,  with  the  terrible  blow  struck 
direct  from  heaven — the  full  outpouring  on  Egypt 
of  the  divine  wrath.  See  Exodus,  in  History  op 
THE  Books. 

PLAIN.  Eight  different  Hebrew  words  are  trans- 
lated by  this  one  word  plain,  in  our  version.  1. 
Abel  (meadoio — see  Abel). — 2.  Bika  (to  cleave,  a 
valley).  The  valley  between  the  two  ranges  of 
Lebanon  is  now  called  Buka.  (See  Lebanon). 
The  same  word  is  used  to  describe  the  plain  on 
which  the  image  was  set  up  in  the  plain  of  Dura 
(Dan.  iii.). — 3.  Hak-kikkar  (ciccar),  (to  move  in 
a  circle,  as  a  coin  or  a  loaf),  the  plain  around  Jeri- 
cho (Gen.  xiii.  10). — 4.  Ham-mishor  (even  place, 
plaifi),  in  Dent.  iii.  10,  it  refers  to  the  region  now 
called  El  Belka,  the  high  level  table-lands  (of 
Moab)  east  of  the  Dead  Sea.— 5.  Ha-arabah  (dry 
region),  the  peculiar  name  of  the  valley  of  the 
Jordan. — 6.  Ha-shefelah  (a  low  plain),  the  name 
of  the  Plain  of  Philistia. — 7.  Elon  (oak,  or  grove 
of  oaks).  The  mistranslation  loses  much  of  the 
beauty  and  force  of  the  original,  as  may  be  seen 
by  correcting  the  reading  in  Gen.  x.  6,  to  oak  or 

grove  of  Moreh;  and  the  same  in  Deut.  xi.  30;  in 
ren.  xiii.  18,  to  oak  grove  of  Mamre;  in  Judg.  iv. 

II,  to  grove  of  the  wandercn's  (Zanaim — wander- 
ers), (where  Bedawins  pitch  their  tents?) ;  in  Judg. 
ix.  6,  to  the  oak  of  the  covenant,  or  monumental 
oak  (The  Charter  Oak,  Boston  Elm,  and  Penn's 
treaty  Elm,  are  instances  in  our  country);  in  ver. 
37,  to  grove  of  Meonenim  (magicians);  and  in  1 
Sam.  x^  3,  to  oak  or  grove  of  Tabor. — 8.  Emek, 
(valley),  applied  to  the  Plain  of  Esdraelon  and 
other  valleys  or  plains,  as  Achor,  Ajalon,  Baca, 
Berachah,  Bethrehob,  Elah,  Gibeon,  Hebron,  Je- 
hoshaphat,  Keziz,  Rephaim,  Shaveh,  Siddim,  and 
Succoth,  besides  the  valley  of  "decision"  in  Joel 
iii.  14.

POISON.  References  to  poison  in  the  Scripture 
are  very  rare  and  no  death  occurring  through  poi- 
son is  recorded.  The  two  Heb.  words,  1.  chemah, 
feverish  heat,  2.  rosh,  applied  to  some  poisonous 
herb.  Tlie  crime  of  poisoning  never  prevailed 
among  the  Hebrews.  It  was  studied  as  a  science 
in  tlie  East,  and  common  at  Rome.  There  were 
many  venomous  snakes  and  insects  in  Palestine. 
The  poison  of  snakes  was  used  by  the  Scythians 
and  Arabs  to  anoint  their  arrows;  as  also  alluded

of  Asia.  The  pillars  in  Solomon's  Temple  were 
adorned  with  carved  figures  of  this  fruit  (1  K.  vii. 


18,  20).  A  fragnientof  the  fruit  with  its  pearly 
seeds  imbedded  in  ruby  liquid,  is  very  beautiful.

vstation,  military  or  for  travelers;  also,  the  one  who 
carries  messages  or  travels  by  post  (that  is,  with

PRAYER  (Heb.  tehinnah,  supplication;  tefil- 
LAH,  to  boio  down).  To  ask  God  for  a  blessing. 
Men  have  believed  in  all  ages  that  the  Divine  Being 
hears  prayer  (Deut.  iv.  29;  1  Chr.  xxviii.  9,  etc.), 
and  answers  it  graciously  (Ps.  cxlv.  18,  19;  2  Chr. 
vii.  1)  and  willingly.  Prayer  is  also  called  "seek- 
ing the  Lord"  (1  Chr.  xvi.  10),  intreating  the  face 
of  the  Lord  (see  Face),  pouring  out  the  heart  or 
soul  before  Him  or  before  His  ]face  (Ps.  Ixii.  8  ;  1 
Sam.  i.  15),  crying  (1  K.  viii.  28)  or  calling  unto 
God,  and  a  beseeching  of  God  (Ps.  Iv.  16 ;  Ex. 
xxxii.  11). 

In  the  N.  T.  the  approach  of  the  soul  unto  God, 
with  desire  and  request  for  help,  is  very  distinctly 
stated  in  many  passages  (Matt.  vi.  6,  vii.  7 ; 
Luke  X.  2;  John  xiv.  1.3;  Eph.  vi.  18;  Phil.  iv.  6; 
Col.  iv.  2,  3,  etc.).  Nowhere  in  the  Bible  is  there 
any  word  of  explanation  of  the  reason  for  prayer; 
the  fact  is  dealt  with  as  a  fact,  as  plain  as  day 
and  night. 

The  use  of  forms,  in  some  cases,  seems  in- 
tended to  secure  the  praise  of  men  rather  than  of 
God  (Matt.  vi.  6).    When  the  form  is  the  most 


extensive  and  showy  the  true  spirit  is  in  danger 
of  being  lost. 

The  Lord's  Prayer  (Matt.  vi.  9-13;  Luke  xi. 
2-4)  is  the  model  for  all  Christian  prayer. 

Prayer  is  first  distinctly  mentioned  in  Abraham's 
time.  Moses  gave  no  special  rules  or  laws  for 
prayer,  but  we  learn  that  it  was  considered  as  a 
privilege  and  a  duty  to  which  man's  own  nature 
prompted  him.  The  altar  was  the  place  where 
prayer  was  believed  to  be  most  acceptable  in  the 
patriarchal  age,  and  the  tabernacle,  'under  the 
Mosaic  covenant  (1  Sam.  i.  10),  which  was 
changed  for  the  Temple,  was  called  "the  house  of 
prayer"  (Is.  Ivi.  7).  Those  who  could,  prayed  in 
the  Temple;  others  at  a  distance  turned  their  faces 
towards  it — a  custom  which  is  still  in  practice.  The 
Mohammedans  also  turn  their  faces  towards  the 
city  of  Mecca,  which  contains  the  holy  house,  the 
kaaba.  See  1  K.  viii.  30;  2  K.  xix;  2  Chr.  vii.  14; 
Dan.  vi.  10 ;  Jonah  ii.  4 ;  Zech.  vii.  2  ;  Luke  ii.  37, 
xviii.  10;  Acts  xxii.  17.  There  is  a  certain  power 
in  outward  symbols  in  helping  men  to  realize  the 
presence  of  God,  in  quickening  their  faith,  and  in 
carrying  out  the  idea  that  sinful  man  can  best  ap- 
proach his  Maker  by  a  sacrifice.  These  sentiments 
are  as  extensive  as  the  human  race.  There  are 
seven  prayers  recorded  at  their  full  length  in  the 
Scriptui-es  (David,  2  Sam.  vii.  19-29 ;  Solomon,  2 
Chr.  vi.;  Hezekiah,  2  K.  xix.;  Jeremiah,  ch.  xxxii.; 
Daniel,  ch.  ix.  3;  ISTehemiah,  chs.  i.  ix.). 

Nearly  all  of  the  prayers  recorded  in  the  O.  T. 
were  for  temporal  blessings — the  Mosaic  cove- 
nant promising  no  other;  and  many  were  interces- 
sory, by  priests  or  prophets,  except,  as  may  be 
learned  from  the  Psalms,  where  there  is  shown  a 
spirit  of  svriving  against  sin  and  for  help  against 
temptation.  The  Hebrews  prayed  three  times  a 
day  (Ps.  Iv.  17;  Dan.  vi.  10),  and  particular  times 
or  "hours  were  thought  to  be  more  fit  than  others, 
when  prayer  was  thought  to  be  more  acceptable 
(Ps.  Ixix.  13).  Confession  of  sins  to  God  was  usual 
at  the  time  of  prayer  as  a  part  of  the  intercession. 

In  the  Christian  Church,  Jesus  the  Christ  takes 
the  place  of  the  temple  and  the  altar  and  the 
priests  and  prophets  in  the  old  dispensation.  He 
is  the  intercessor  for  His  people,  asking  of  God  the 
Father  blessings  for  His  sake.  The  Christian  form 
of  prayer  includes  the  Hebrew  idea  of  intercession, 
pleading  for  benefits ;  and  also  adds  the  higher 
spirituail  desires  based  on  the  idea  of  the  brother- 
hood of  all  men  (Matt.  v.  44,  ix.  38;  1  Tim.  ii.  2, 
8;  1  Col.  iv.  13;  Phil.  iv.  6;  James  v.  14). 

It  is  supposed  that  if  certain  rules  are  neglected 
in  prayer  that  God  will  not  answer  prayer  (Ps. 
Ixvi.  18;  Pet.  xv.  29,  xxviii.  9;  James  iv.  3;  Is.  i. 
15),  nor  if  one  of  God's  commands  is  disobeyed 
(1  Sam.  viii.  IS),  or  the  supplicant  is  proud  and  in- 
dependent (Job  XXXV.  12;  Luke  xviii.  20),  or  a 
hypocrite  (Job  xxvii.  9),  or  if  he  doubts,  wavers, 
or  is  double-minded  (James  i.  6 ;  Jer.  xxix.  13 ; 
Mark  xi.  24).  Enmity  in  the  heart  and  secret 
idolatry  are  also  stumbling-blocks.  For  posture  in 
prayer  see  Adoration. 

Prayer  is  the  free  utterance  of  the  soul's  wants 
to  God  the  Father,  asking  benefits  in  the  name  of 
our  Saviour,  and  interceding  for  the  good  of  others 
also.  Faith  is  quickened  by  prayer;  and  it  may  be 
said  that  prayer  is  an  indication  of  the  spiritual 
condition  of  tlie  soul — it  being  to  the  soul  what 
breath  is  to  the  body.

PRE  CIOUS  STONES.  Alluded 
to  vi'i-y  often  in  tlie  Scriptures, 
and  were  known,  useil,  and  val- 
ued from  the  earliest  times. 
Engraved  gems  vporn  m  rings 
(Cant.  V.  14),  and  used  for 
private  seals  (Neh.  x.),  are 
mentioned  in  Genesis,  and  all 
through  the  Bible.  The  twelve 
stones  of  the  high-priest's  breast- 
plate were  engraved  with  the 
name  of  one  of  the  12  tribes 
(Ex.  xxviii.  17-21),  and  the 
whole  when  in  their  proper  posi- 
tion on  the  breast  of  the  high- 
priest  were  called  Urim  and 
Thunnnim  {li^ht  and  perfection). 

The  figurative  uses  of  precious  stones  are  very 
many,  and  highly  poetical  and  important  for  in- 
struction, and  signify  value,  beauty,  durability, 
excellence. 

1.  Adamant  (shamtr),  the  diamond,  (Jer.  xvii. 
1;  Ez.  iii.  9;  Zech.  vii.  12),  was  known  and  used  for 
its  peculiar  hardness  in  cutting  other  stones,  and 
figuratively  to  describe  the  obduracy  of  the  Israel- 
ites. The  word  is  the  same  in  all  the  texts,  al- 
tliough  rendered  both  diamond  and  adamant.  The 
GreeK  sniiris  was  a  corundum,  our  emory. 

2.  Ag'ate  (shebo),  (Ex.  xxviii.  19),  the  second 
stone  in  the  high-priest's  breastplate.  Named  from 
the  river  Achates,  Sicily,  where  it  was  first  found 
by  the  Greeks,    It  is  a  quartz  in  colored  layers. 

3.  Am'ethyst  (ahlamah),  3d  in  the  3d  row  of 
the  breastplate,  and  is  alluded  to  in  Rev.  xxi.  20, 
as  one  of  the  stones  of  the  heavenly  Jerusalem. 

4.  BER'YL      (TARSHISH)      a     yellow     ElfERALD. 

There  is  little  or  nothing  to  lead  to  any  satisfactory 
conclusion  as  to  its  identity,  except  in  Cant.  v.  14. 
The  streets  of  Jerusalem  shall  be  paved  with 
beryl  (Rev.  xxi.  20;  Tob.  xiii.  17). 

5.  Car'buncle.  1.  (Heb.  ekdah,)  bright, 
sparkling,  gem. — 2.  (Barekath),  the  third  stone 
in  the  first  row  of  the  breast-plate  (Ex.  xxviii.  17) ; 
also  one  of  the  treasures  of  the  king  (Ez.  xxviii. 
13).  It  is  a  precious  stone  of  a  deep  red  color, 
commonly  called  garnet. 

6.  Chal'cedony,  (Gr.  Chalkedon),  a  precious 
stone  (Rev.  xxi.  19),  resembling  the  agate;  of 
various  colors,  but  often  light  brown  or  blue,  found 
in  most  parts  of  the  world,  named  after  Chalcedon. 

7.  Chrys'olite  (golden  stone).  A  transparent 
precious  stone,  having  the  color  of  gold  mixed  with 
green.  It  has  a  fine  lustre  (Rev.  xxi.  20).  Many 
suppose  it  to  be  the  topaz  of  the  moderns. 

8.  Chryso'peastjs.  The  tenth  of  those  precious 
.stones  in  the  walls  of  the  heavenly  Jerusalem. 
Its  color  was  golden  green  (Rev.  xxi.  20). 

9.  Chkts'oprase  is  the  leek-green  variety  of 
agate. 

10.  Em'erald,  (nophech;  Gr.  Smaragdos).  First 
in  the  second  row  on  the  breastplate  of  the  high- 
priest  (Ex.  xxviii.  18).  Used  as  a  seal  or  signet 
(Ecclus.  xxxh.  6),  and  spoken  of  as  one  of  the 
foundations  of  Jerusalem  (Rev.  xxi.  19).  It  is  of 
a  fine  green  color,  found  anciently  in  Ethiopia,  in 
modern  times  only  in  South  America  (Ex.  xxviii. 
18).    It  ranks  next  in  value  to  the  diamond. 

11.  Ja'cinth,  (Gr.  hnakinthofi),  (Ju/acinth).  A 
precious  stone,  or  a  dark  purple  coliir  (IJev.  xxi. 
20).  It  loses  its  color  when  heated,  and  resembles 
the  diamond. 


12.  O'NYX  (SHOHAM,  a  nail).  An  agate  colored 
like  a  finger  nail  (Ex.  xxviii.  20;  Gen.'ii.  12). 

13.  Ru'hv,  (I'ENiNiM).  A  red  sapphire  diamond, 
and  more  valuable  than  a  diamond  of  the  same 
weight  (Is.  liv.  12). 

14.  Sap'phire  (sappir).  Next  in  hardness  and 
value  to  the  diamond  (Ex.  xxviii.  18),  of  a  blue

color  and  of  various  shades.  Pliny  described  it  as 
the  lapis  lazuli  (Ultramarine),  but  that  could  not 
have  been  the  kind  in  the  breastplate. 

15.  Sar'ditjs,  Sardine  (odem)  .  Josephus  says 
sardonyx  (Ant.  iii.  7,  6).  Now  called  carnelian 
from  its  flesh  color.  The  Hebrew  name  means  red 
like  flesh.  The  Sardius  is  a  kind  of  flint,  or  chal- 
cedony, and  is  valued  more  as  it  is  deeper  red. 
The  name  Sardius  was  given  it  at  Sardis,  where  it 
was  worked  and  engraved.  It  was  in  the  high- 
priest's  breastplate  (Ex.  xxviii.  17),  and  is  alluded 
to  by  John  in  the  Revelation  (iv.  3). 

16.  Sar'donyx  (yahalom).  a  chalcedony  with 
layers  of  several  shades,  much  used  in  finger  rings 
for  the  signet  (Rev.  xxi,  20).  Rendered  diamond 
in  the  A."  V. 

17.  To'PAZ  (pitdah,  Gr.  topazion).  Second  in 
the  breastplate  of  the  high-priest  (Ex.  xxviii.  17), 
and  the  ninth  in  fhe  foundation  of  the  heavenly 
Jerusalem  (Rev.  xxi.  20) .  Its  color  is  wine  yellow, 
of  every  degree  of  shade,  from  dark  red,  some- 
times lilac,  to  pale  grayish  yellow,  or  celadon 
green.  It  was  highly  prized.  Job  says  that  wisdom 
IS  more  valuable  than  the  petdah  of  Cush  (xxviii. 
19).  There  is  a  topaz  island  in  the  Red  Sea,  where 
it  is  found.    See  Seal,  Signet  Ring.

first  after  the  deluge.  It  is  probable  that  the  patri- 
archs were  priests,  as  in  Job  i.  5.  The  prophet  dif- 
fered from  the  priest  in  receiving  suijernatural  com- 
munications of  knowledge,  of  the  past,  present, 
and  future.  In  the  patriarchal  system,  the  first- 
born male  was  the  priest  of  the  family,  and  suc- 
ceeded his  father.  The  Mosaic  system  substituted 
the  tribe  of  Levi,  instead  of  the  first-born  (Ex. 
xxviii.).  The  Hebrews  were  promised  that,  if  they 
would  keep  the  law  of  Moses,  they  should  be  "a 
peculiar  treasure,"  "a  kingdom  of  priests,"  "a 
holy  nation"  (Ex.  xix.  5,  fi).  [For  dress  of  the 
priest,  see  Dress.  See  cuts  of  priests,  on  pps.  16, 
69,  77, 131.]  The  age  at  which  they  were  permitted 
to  serve  was  not  definitely  fixed,  as  in  the  case  of 
the  Levites,  but  was,  probably,  at  maturity — from 
20  yrs.  old.  The  support  of  the  high-priest  was, 
the  tithe  of  1-lOth  of  the  tithes  assigned  to  the  Le- 
vites (Num.  xviii.  28;  Neh.  x.  38).  The  candidate 
for  orders  must  prove  his  descent  from  Aaron ;  be 
free  from  bodily  defects  (Lev.  xxi.  16-23);  must 
not  mourn  outwardly ;  must  marry  only  a  young 
woman.  They  were  to  keep  the  sanctuary  and  altar 
(Num.  xviii.  5) ;  to  keep  the  fire  always  burning  on 
the  altar  (Lev.  i.  7,  vi.  13);  to  prepare  the  burnt 
offerings,  and  kill  the  passover  (2  Chr.  xxix.  34; 
Ezr.  vi.  20) ;  to  do  the  work  of  a  certain  part  of  the 
sacrifices,  generally  (see  Offering;  Sacrifice): 
to  attend  to  the  services  of  atonement ;  to  blow  the 
trumpets  for  all  occasions;  to  prepare  the  ointment, 
or  perfumed  oil,  and  the  water  of  separation;  act 
as  assessors  in  judicial  matters;  to  assist  in  the 
work  of  organizing  and  encouraging  the  army;  and 
to  keep  the  books  of  the  law  (Deut.  xx.  1-4,  xxi.  6, 
xxxi.  9).  They  were  permitted  to  eat,  at  the  sanc- 
tuary, the  flesh  of  the  various  offerings;  and  also 
to  carry  away — to  be  eaten  in  Jerusalem — certain 
parts  of  offerings;  and  had  a  right  to  the  first-fruits 
of  oil,  wine,  and  grain,  and  certain  parts  of  sacri- 
fices (Deut.  xviii);  the  price  of  redemption  of  man 
and  of  unclean  beasts;  restitutions,  and  all  devoted 
things;  the  skins  of  the  sacrificed  animals  (which 
was  a  very  rich  perquisite);  donations;  and  might 
own  land  (1  K.  ii.  26;  Jer.  xxxii.  7,  8).  The  total 
income  is  supposed  to  have  been  about  l-5th  of  the 


"Queen"   (Is.   xlix. 
The  dominion  of  a 


entire  national  income  (see  Gen.  xlvii.  24).  The 
priesthood  was  a  perpetual  inheritance,  transmitted 
from  father  to  son.  After  the  Captivity,  those  who 
could  not  prove  their  descent  from  Aaron  lost  their 
privileges  as  priests.  The  con'uption  of  the  priest- 
hood, by  making  their  office  a  means  of  amassing 
wealth,  and  intriguing,  in  politics,  for  political 
power,  hastened  the  ruin  of  the  Jewish  nation. 
Christ  is  described  in  the  N.  T.  as  the  first-born, 
the  king,  the  anointed,  a  priest  after  the  order  of 
Melchizedek  (Heb.  vii.,  viii.).    The  priesthood  in 


the  Christian  Church  is  a  spiritual  matter,  deriving 
its  powers  and  privileges  from  the  Holy  Spirit. 

PBINCE.  Governor  of  districts  or  local  magis- 
trates. Jesus  Christ  is  "  the  Prince  of  Life  " 
(Acts  iii.  15).  Satan  "the  prince  of  this  world  "

29).  See  Engraver;  Writing.  "  Printed, "  in  Job 
xix.  23,  should  be  "written"  or  "marked  down." 
PRIS'CA  (ancient).  Priscilla  (2  Tim.  iv.  19) 
PRISCIL'LA.  The  wife  of  Aquila  (Rom. 
xvi.  3).  The  position,  in  several  ancient  MSS.,  of 
the  name  of  Priscilla  before  that  of  her  husband, 
indicates  that  she  was  the  more  active  of  the  two 
in  the  Church,  as  appears  in  her  teaching  of  Apol- 
los.  She  is  the  type  of  the  married  servant  of  the 
Church,  as  Phebe  is  of  the  unmarried.  Her  assist- 
ance was  asked  by  Timothy  as  of  the  utmost  value 
in  pointing  out  the  actual  wants  and  condition  of 
the  needy  members  of  the  Church. 

PRIS'ON.  Special  places  used  as  prisons  were 
under  the  custody  of  a  military  officer  (Gen.  xl. 
3) .  Private  houses  now  sometimes  used  as  places 
of  confinement  (Jer.  xxxvii.  15).  See  Punish- 
ments. 

PRIS'ON-GATE.  A  gate  of  the  Jerusalem  wall 
enclosing  the  Temple. 

PRO€H'ORUS  (leader  of  the  chorus).  A  Deacon 
(Actsvi.  5).    Deacon. 

PROCON'SUL.  (Gr.  anthupatos,  to  he  dejmty).  A 
division  of  conquered  provinces  not  requiring  mili- 
tary rule,  was  governed  by  the  Roman  Senate  by 
I  proconsuls,  civil  officers,  and  their  districts  were 
I  called  proconsular.  The  term  was  usually  one 
I  year.  A  coin  of  Ephesus  gives  the  title  Anthupa- 
!  Tos  (Acts  xix.  38).  They  did  not  have  the  power 
I  of  life  and  death. 

I  PROCURATOR.  Is  the  Latin  name  of  the  Roman 
,  ruler,  translated  Governor  in  the  N.  T.  See

■  ■*'*^*=>r^  _  who  had  been  consuls  or 

■      r  \  prsetois,  or  senators.   Their 

term  of  office  depended  on 
the  will  of  the  emperor. 
They  wore  a  military  dress 
and  sword,  and  were  at- 
tended by  six  Uctors.  They 
had  the  power  of  life  and 
death.  The  head-quarters 
in  Judfea  were  at  Csesarea, 
but  held  judicial  wherever 
they  were,  as  Pilate  at  Jeru- 
salem .  The  high  priest  could 
be  removed  at  will  by  him. 
PROGEN'ITORS.  Parents 
or  ancestors  (Gen.  xlix. 
26).    Genealogy. 

PROGNOS'TICATORS, 
MONTHLY   (Is.  xlvu.  13).

PROPH'ET  (Heb.  nabi).  Signifies  an  inspired 
person,  an  announcer  of  the  words  of  another,  not 
from  his  own  influence  and  will  (Ex.  vii.  1,  iv.  16); 
to  foretell  the  future  and  secret  events,  and  who 
revealed  the  will  of  God. 

The  O.  T.  prophets  were  special  agents  of  Jeho- 
vah, raised  up  and  sent,  as  occasion  required,  to 
incite  to  duty,  to  convict  of  sin,  to  call  to  repent- 
ance and  reformation,  to  instruct  kings  and  de- 
nounce against  nations  the  judgments  of  God  (2  K. 
xvii.  13)."    The  prophets  received  their  message.^

PTOI.EMY   I. 

PROPHETESS  (Heb.  nebiah).  A  female  pro- 
phet (Ex.  XV.  20).    Miriam;  Deborah. 

PROPITIATION.  One  who  makes  atonement 
(1  John  ii.  2). 

PRO'REX  {for  the  king).    Viceroy  (2  K.  i.  17), 

PROSELYTE  (Gr.  nroselyti;  Heb.  gerim).  This 
word  is  often  used  in  the  Septuagint  as  the 
rendering  of  the  Heb.  ger,  a  sojourner,  translated 
"a  stranger"  (Ex.  xii.  48,  xx.lO,  xxii.  21,  etc.). 
The  word  from  meaning  "one  who  comes  to," 
means,  also,  one  "who  comes  over"  from  one 
faith  to  another.  The  law  was  liberal  to  stran- 
gers (gerim),  ordaining  that  they  should  be 
treated  with  forbearance  and  kindness  (Ex.  xxii. 
21,  xxiii.  9;  Lev.  xix.  33,  34).  "The  stranger  that 
dwelleth  with  you  shall  be  unto  you  as  one  born 
among  you,  and  thou  shalt  love  hnn  as  thyself,  for 
ye  were  strangers, ' '  etc.  The  stranger  or  sojourner 
was  ordered  to  be  welcomed  to  the  Passover  Feast 
upon  his  observance  of  certain  regulations  (Ex. 
xii.  43,  45).  The  word  in  the  sense  of  convert 
appears  in  the  history  and  the  writings  of  the  pro- 
phets in  Is.  Ivi.  3-8,  "  the  sons  of  the  stranger  that 
join  themselves  to  the  Lord.  The  conquests  of 
Alexander,  the  wars  between  Egypt  and  Syria,  the 
struggle  under  Maccabees,  and  the  occupation  by 
Rome,  brought  the  Jews  into  wide  notice,  and 
gave  opportunities  for  proselytism.  Such  pro- 
selytes attended  the  Jewish  worship  and  made 
pilgrimages  to  the  feasts  at  Jerusalem  (Acts  ii.  10). 
The  admission  into  Judaism  of  a  convert  was  by 
circumcision.  Converts  to  Judaism  were  classed: 
1.  As  love-proselytes.  2.  Man-for-woman  or  wo- 
man-for-man  proselytes;  where  the  husband  fol- 
lowed the  wife's  religion  or  the  reverse.  3.  Esther- 
proselytes,  where  conformity  was  assumed  to 
escape  danger  (Esth.  viii.  17).  4.  King's-table- 
proselytes,  converts  for  the  hope  of  court  favor — as 
under"  David  and  Solomon.  5.  Lion-proselytes, 
converts  in  the  fear  of  a  divine  judgment — as  the 
Samaritans  (2  K.  xvii.  26).  Proselytes  became 
numerous  during  and  immediately  after  Christ's 
period;  many  were  converted  in  parts  remote  from 
Jerusalem  (Acts  ii.  10,  viii.  27).

made  a  strong  government.  Daniel  alludes  to  him 
(xi.  5),  as  one  who  should  receive  a  part  of  Alex- 
ander's kingdom,  by  the  title  "King  of  the  South. " 
He  treacherously  captured  Jerusalem  on  a  Sabbath. 
Having  carried  many  Jews  to  Alexandria,  he  gave 
them  the  full  privileges  of  citizens  in  the  new  city. 
(See  Alexandria).

Ptol.  I,  and  was  made  king  two  years  before  his 
father's  death.  His  daughter  Berenice  married 
Antiochus  II ;  (see  p.  18).  This  reign  was  a  trying 
time  for  Judaism,  and  for  the  intellectual  develop- 
ment of  the  ancient  world  (Alexandria).  Phila- 
delphus was  a  patron  of  art  and  science,  and  col-

PTOLEMY

PUL 


Ptolemy  III.— Euek'getes.— B.C. 247-222.  Old- 
est son  of  Ptolemy  Pliiladelphus,  brother  of  Bere- 
nice (5).  His  sister's  murder  gave  him  an  occasion 
for  invading  Syria  (B.  C.  24G),  alluded  to  in  Dan. 
xi.  7.  He  recovered  the  images  stolen  out  of 
Egypt  by  Cambyses,  and  brought  home  a  vast 
treasure,  earning  the  title  of  Benefactor  (euer- 
getes),  and  almost  miraculously  escaped  from  the 
threatened  attacks  of  Seleucus  (Dan.  xi.  9),  and 
developed  the  resources  of  his  country. 

Ptolemy  IV.— Philop'ator.— B.  C.  222-205. 
He  was  a  sensual  and  effeminate  man,  but  ener- 
getic ruler.  Daniel  alludes  to  him  (xi.  10-12).  He 
offered  sacrifices  at  Jerusalem  in  honor  of  his  vic- 
tories ;  but  on  attempting  to  enter  the  Holy  of 
Holies  he  was  struck  with  paralysis,  for  which  he 
attempted  to  take  revenge  on  the  Alexandrian 
Jews,  but  was  turned  from  his  purpose  by  certain 
strange  signs,  which  are  differently  reported  by 
various  historians.  See  Apocrypha.  He  was  suc- 
ceeded by 

Ptolemy  V.— Epiphanes.— B.  C.  205-181.  It 
was  diuing  tlfis  reign  that  Onlas,  the  rightful

high-priest,  who  had  been  driven  away  from  Jeru- 
salem, built  a  temple  at  Leontopolis.  "Daniel  again 
•pictures  the  actual  condition  of  affairs  in  the  words: 
"  The  robbers  of  the  people  exalted  themselves  to 
establish  the  vision"  (xi.  14).  "Many  stood  up 
against  the  king  of  the  South"  (Egypt);  "so  the 
king  of  the  North  (Antiochus)  came  and  cast  up 
a  mount,  and  took  the  most  fenced  city"  (Sidon), 
to  which  Scopas,  the  general  of  Rolemy,  had  fled,

"and  the  arms  of  the  South  did  not  withstand" 
(Antiochus  defeated  the  Egyptians  at  Paneas,  B. 
C.  198 — Dan.  xi.  14,  15).  The  Eomans  then  came 
in  to  make  peace;  "gave  him  (Ptolemy,  his,  An- 
tiochus's,  daughter)  a  young  maiden  "  (as  his  wife, 
Dan.  xi.  18),  who  did  "not  stand  on  his  side," 
but  supported  her  husband  against  her  father. 


PTOLEMY   VI. 


Ptolemy  VI.— Philometer.— B.  C.  181-146. 
Was  son  of  Ptolemy  V  and  Cleopatra,  and  was  a 
child  when  his  father  was  poisoned,  the  govern- 
ment being  managed  by  his  mother,  who  preserved 
peace  with  Syria  until"  she  died,  B.  C.  173.  Antio- 


chus Epiphanes  invaded  Egypt,  but  was  forced  to 
retreat  by  the  Roman  power.  (See  Dan.  xi.  25- 
30).  In  this  prophesy  the  ships  of  Chittim  are  the 
Romans.  Ptolemy  Euergetes  II  was  ruler  of 
Cyrene  (1  Mace.  xi.  18).  Philometor  is  the  last  of 
the  line  mentioned  in  the  Scriptures.  In  his  reign 
the  Jews  were  divided  by  the  temple  at  Leontopo- 
lis. Onias,  son  of  Onias  III  (see  Onias),  fled  to 
Egypt  from  the  political  and  priestly  corruption  at 
Jerusalem,  and  entered  the  service  of  the  Ptolemy, 
with  another  Jew,  Dositheus,  and  rose  to  supreme 
command,  rendering  iuiportant  services  to  the 
Egyptian  cause,  in  favor  of  Ptolemy  Physcon 
against  his  brother.  This  service  he  made  the 
basis  of  a  demand  for  a  ruined  temple  of  Diana  at 
Leontopolis,  which  he  proposed  to  rebuild  in  imita- 
tion of  the  Temple  at  Jerusalem,  quoting  as  divine 
authority  Isaiah  xix.  18.  The  building  was  made 
the  same,  but  the  furniture  was  different.  Instead 
of  the  seven-branched  candlestick  there  was  a 
single  lamp,  suspended  by  a  gold  chain  (Jos.  Wars, 
vii.  10,  3).  The  altar  and  offerings  were  the  same, 
and  the  service  was  by  priests  and  Levites  of  clear 
descent.  The  building  of  the  temple  is  dated 
about  B.  C.  149,  but  cannot  be  definitely  fixed. 
Priests  who  had  served  in  Egypt  were  forbidden  to 
serve  in  Jerusalem,  and  the  temple  never  had  any 
great  favor  in  Palestine,  being  looked  upon  as  a 
kind  of  idolatrous  shrine. 

There  were  many  Jews  in  Egypt  (Jer.  xliii.  6, 
7),  and  Ptolemy  Soter  increased  the  number  by 
policy  and  by  force  (Ant.  xii.  u.  1),  and  they  had 
great  influence  in  Egypt  (Ant.  xii.  4);  and  one 
Aristobultjs  is  mentioned  as  the  tutor  (counsel- 
or) of  the  Ptolemy. 

The  Romans,  in  B.  C.  71,  plundered  and  closed 
the  temple  at  Leontopolis  (Jos.  Wars,  vii.  10). 

PU'A.  PuAH  2.  Son  of  Issachar  (Num.  xxvi. 
23).

PUB'LICAN  (Lat.  publicanus;  Gr.  telo?ies).  Col- 
lectors of  the  Roman  revenue.  The  publicans  of 
the  N.  T.  were  regarded  as  ti'aitors  and  classed 
with  sinners  (Matt.  ix.  11),  harlots  (xxi.  31,  32), 
and  with  the  heathen  (xviii.  17).  No  money  re- 
ceived from  them  was  permitted  to  go  into  the 
alms-box.  They  were  not  allowed  to  sit  in  judg- 
ment or  give  testimony.  Some  of  them  were  the 
earliest  disciples  of  John  the  Baptist  and  of  Christ 
(Luke  xviii.  13) . 

PUB 'LITIS  (;>^^6^^■c).  Governor  of  Melita  (Acts 
xxviii.  7,  8). 

PU'DENS  (bashful).  A  Christian  friend  of 
Timothy  (2  Tim.  iv.  21),  at  Rome.  Martial,  the 
Spanish  poet,  who  lived  at  Rome  about  A.  D.  66, 
mentions  two  or  three  friends,  Pudens,  Claudia, 
and  Linus,  who  were  the  same  as  the  friends  of 
Paul  and  Timothy. 

PU'HITES  (Jah  is  revelation).  Descendants  of 
the  family  of  Kirjath-Jearim. 

PUL.    Error  for  Phut  or  Put. 

PUL  (king) .  An  Assyrian  king,the  first  mentioned 
in  Scripture.  He  made  an  expedition  against 
Menahem,  king  of  Israel.  But  we  learn  from 
the  Assyrian  monuments  that  Jehu  had  already 
paid  tribute  to  Shalmanezer  II,  as  recorded  on  the 
black  obelisk.  It  is  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to 
identify  Pul  with  any  known  Assyrian  king.  None 
of  the  monuments  have  a  name  at  all  like  Pul. 
The  monuments  tell  us  that  Tiglath-pileser  took 
tribute  of  INIenahem,  and  they  say  nothing  of  Pul. 
He  may  have  been  a  usurper  holding  power  in 
Western  Assyria,  and  able  to  descend  into  Pales- 
tine; or  a  Babylonian,  who  grew  to  great  command 
in  those  days.    The  period  of  Pul's  invasion  may

bp  thus  fixed:  Tislath-pilesor  records  that  he  took 
tribute  froui  Monahi'ui— a  war  which  was  carried 
on  from  his  fourth  to  Ills  eighth  year,  about  B.  C. 
741  to  7:57. 

Menaliem  reigned  ten  years,  so  that  Pul's  expe- 
dition could  not  be  earlier  than  B.  C.  751,  or  later 
than  I}.  C.  745. 

PULPIT  (lleb.  incDAL).  An  elevated  stage, 
usually  translated  "tower"  (Neh.  viii.  4). 

PULSE  nieb.  ZEUOHIM,  ZERONiM,  "  to  scatter,  to 
sow  " ) .  A  general  name  of  peas,  beans,  and  such 
kinds  of  garden  sauce  (Dan.  i.  12,  IG). 

PUN  ISHMENTS.  Were  two  fold,  capital  and 
secondary.  1.  Stoning  (Ex.  xvii.  4).  2.  Hanging 
(Num.  XXV.  4).  .5.  iJurning  (Geu.  xxxviii.  24). 
4.  By  the  sword  (Ex.  xix.  13).  5.  Strangling 
(John  xviii.  31>.  G.  Drowning  TMatt.  xviii.  0). 
7.  Sawing  asunder  (2  Sam.  xii.  31).  8.  Pounding 
in  a  mortar  or  beating  to  death  (Prov.  xxvii.  22). 
9.  Precipitation  (2  Mace.  vi.  10). 

Of  Secondary. — 1.  Retaliation  (Ex.  xxi.  24-25). 
2.  Compensation  in  money,  or  goods,  or  service 
(Ex.  xxi.  18-3(3).  3.  Stripes  (Deut.  xxv.  3).  4. 
Scourging  (Judg.  viii.  16). 

Punishments,  for  crime,  or  offense  against  the 
law,  were  inflicted  directly  on  the  person,  or  indi- 
rectly on  his  goods,  or  relatives.  Capital  punish- 
mentiwas  instituted  among  the  covenant  people  by 
Noah  (Gen.  ix.  5,  6),  because  murder  was  an  of- 
fense against  the  image  of  God.  The  system  of 
blood  avenging  was  also  set  on  foot  by  him,  re- 
quiring the  near  relative  to  slay  the  murderer,  even 
among  near  kinsmen.  The  patriarch  of  the  family 
or  tribe  dispensed  justice  in  the  case  (Gen.  xxvi. 
11,  29;  xxxviii.  24).  The  mode  was  usually  by 
stoning.  Cutting  off  the  head  with  the  sword  is 
not  sanctioned  in  the  Mosaic  law,  except  that  it 
might  be  a  retaliation  in  kind,  as  in  the  case  of 
Agag  (1  Sam.  xv.  33).  Precipitation  from  a  rock, 
or  high  place,  was  borrowed  from  other  nations, 
as  also  cutting  asunder  (Dan.  ii.  5;  iii.  29;  Luke 
xii.  46) ;  and  whipping  or  beating  to  death  (Ileb. 
X.  35).  Casting  into  a  den  of  lions  is  stiU  prac- 
ticed in  Morocco.  Moses  permitted  the  hanging 
of  the  body  on  a  tree  after  death,  but  it  must  be 
buried  the  same  night  (Deut.  xxi.  22).  Hanging 
alive  was  a  Canaanite  mode  (2  Sam.  xxi.  9). 
Stones  were  heaped  over 
the  body  (buried  or  un- 
bxiried),  as  a  mark  of 
contempt  (Josh.  vii.  25, 
26),  and  "to  make 
heaps"  of  a  city  was  a 
peculiar  ignominy  (Is. 
xxv.  2;  Jer.  ix.  11),  as 
also  to  burn  a  dead 
body,  which  was  only 
permitted  in  two  cases 
(Lev.  XX.  14;  xxi.  9). 
Crucifixion  was  prac- 
ticed in  the  last  days  of 
the  nation.  Scourging 
(whipping  on  the  bare 
back)  was  limited  to  40 
stripes  (which  were  in 
later  limited,  by  custom, 
to  39,  lest  by  accident 
the  number  40  be  ex- 
ceeded, 2  Cor.  xl.  24). 
The  soles  of  the  feet 
were  beaten  with  rods, 
or  a  lash,  when  the  vic- 
tim was  lying  on  his 
face,  and  assistants  held 
his  feet  in  position  (Lev. 

xix.  20;  Deut.  xxii.  18;  xxv.  2,  3).  Servants 
might  be  whipped  (Ex.  xxi.  20).  Offenses  against 
the  rules  of  the  church  were  punished  by  whip- 
ping (Matt.  X.  17;  Acts  xxvi.  11)  in  the  synagogue. 
The  law  of  retaliation  was  regulated  by  rules. 


so  as  to  prevent  mere  revenge  (Ex.  xxi.  23-25; 
Lev.  xxiv.  19-22),  and  a  system  of  compensation 
was  adopted  (Ex.  xxi.). 

A  false  accuser  suffered  what  he  proposed  to 
inflict  wrongfuly  on  another  (Deut.  xix.  19).  Im- 
prisonment was  practiced  for  convenience  rather 
than  punishment  (Lev.  xxiv.  12).  Debtors  were 
shut  up  until  they  paid  ^Matt.  xviii.  30);  stocks 
were  used  (xiii.  27).  See  Anathema.  There  is  no 
direct  reference  to  rewards  or  punishments  in  the 
future  life  in  tiie  Old  Testament.    See  Hades.

13).   The  Girdle  was  used  as  a  purse  (Matt.  x.  9).

PUTE'OLL  8  ms.  N.  W.  of  Naples,  on  the  shore; 
once  called  the  Bay  of  Cumse  (see  Virgil),  and  also 
Puteolanus.  It  was  a  famous  watering-place,  on 
account  of  its  many  warm  springs.  Ships  landed 
cargoes  of  corn,  and  also  passengers  from  the  Le- 
vant, at  this,  the  best  harbor  near  Rome.  The 
harbor  was  protected  by  a  mole,  the  ruins  of  which 
are  stUl  to  be  seen.  Scipio  sailed  from  this  port  to 
Spain;  Cicero  had  a  villa  in  the  vicinity,  and  Ha^ 
drian  was  bui'ied  near.    Now  called  Puzzuoli.

Q 


QUAILS  (Heb.  selav).  The  quail  is  a  bird  of 
passage,  about  the  size  of  a  turtle-dove,  and  re- 
sembles the  American  partridge.  They  are 
plentiful  near  the  shores  of  the  Dead  Sea,  the 
Jordan,  and  in  the  deserts  of  Arabia.  Its  flight  is 
very  low,  especially  when  fatigued,  and  it  keeps

close  to  the  ground.  They  migrate  in  vast  flocks, 
and  at  night,  when  they  settle,  they  are  so  ex- 
hausted they  may  be  captured  by  the  hand  (Ex. 
xvi.  13). 

QUAR'RY  (Heb.  Pesel).  In  Judg.  iii.  19,  only, 
in  52  other  places  graven,  or  carved  images.  See 
Idol— Geology  in  Palestine.

two  wore  attached  to  the  prisoner,  and  two  kept 
watch  outside  the  cell  (Acts  xii.  4). 

QUEEN  (Heb.  malcah,  wife),  (Esth.  i.  9). 
SHEGAL,  consort  (Neh.  ii. .  6) ,  gebirah,  poioerful 
(1  K.  XV.  13).  Queen  is  applied  to  the  woman 
who  exercises  the  highest  authority;  and  this  in 
the  East,  is  not  the  wife  but  the  mother  of  the 
master.    The  case  of  Esther  is  an  exception. 

QUEEN  OF  HEAVEN  (melecheth  hashshama- 
tim).    See  Moon  and  Hera. 

QUICK.  1.  (Heb.  hay  or  chay,  alive,  living) 
(Num.  xvi.  30). — 2.  (Heb.  mihyah  or  michyah,

QUICK'EN,  TO  (Heb.  hiyah  or  chiyah,  to  live), 
to  give  spiritual  or  eternal  life  (John  vi.  63). 

QUICK'SANDS  (Gr.  fnirtis;  Lat.  si/rtis),  (Acts 
xxvii.  17).  The  sand  from  the  great  desert  of 
Sahara  is  carried  by  the  wind  into  the  sea,  along 
the  shore,  where  the  sluggish  currents  in  the  Syrtis 
Minor  and  Syrtis  Major  (two  great  bays  on  the 
coast  of  Africa)  allow  it  to  settle  and  form  qu.ick- 
sand — that  is  sand  and  water  in  such  a  state  as  to 
move  with  a  current  or  be  tossed  into  waves  by  a 
storm  of  wind — where  a  vessel  is  in  great  danger. 
This  same  sand,  when  carried  by  currents  to  "the 
shore  of  Palestine,  fills  up  the  harbors  there,  and 
creeps  up  inland,  destroying  every  green  thing  for 
miles,  as  at  Gaza,  Ascalon,  Acre,  Tyre,  etc.

name.  1.  (Deut.  iii.  11).  A  very  strong  place 
east  of  Jordan;  almost  the  only  city  of  the  Am- 
monites. This  may  have  been  the 
city  of  the  Zuzims,  in  Ham  ((Jen. 
xiv.  5) .  The  sarcophagus  of  the  giant 
Og  was  here  (Deut.  iii.  11).  The  ex- 
tensive ruins  of  Rabbah,  now  called 
Amman,  are  found  on  both  sides  of  a 
perennial  stream,  .the  banks  and  bed 
also  being  paved  through  the  city, 
about  19  miles  southeast  of  Es  Salt, 
and  22  miles  from  the  Jordan,  in  a 
long  valley,  a  branch  of  the  Wady 
Zerka.  The  theatre  is  very  large  and 
well  preserved.  Roman  and  Christian 
buildings  are  also  found.  Some  of  the 
columns  are  five  feet  in  diameter. 
Ezekiel's  prophesy  is  literally  fulfilled, 
and  the  place  has  become  a  stable  for  camels  and 
a  couching  place  for  flocks  (xxv.  5).  David  took 
the  city  by  his  general,  Joab,  when  Uriah  the  Hit- 
tite  was  killed  (2  Sam.  xi.).  It  was  named  Phila- 
delphia by  Ptolemy  Philadelphus,  B.  C.  250.  Coins 
of  this  city  are  extant,  bearing  the  figure  of  As- 
tarte.  The  Christian  Church  is  still  in  excellent 
preservation. — 2.  The  city  of  Ar  was  also  called 
Rabbath  Moab.— 3.  A  city  of  Judah  (Josh.  xv.

ried to  Isaac.  There  is  a  beautifid  and  touching 
incident  of  "Rebekah  at  tlie  well."  This  bright 
little  picture,  with  its  conclusion,  comprises  all  the 
circumstances  of  a  perfect  marriage.  The  sanction 
of  parents,  the  favor  of  God,  the  domestic  habits 
of  tlie  wife,  her  beauty,  kindness,  modest  consent, 
and  her  successful  h'old  on  her  husband's  love 
(even  in  the  same'  tent  with  her  mother-in-law). 
Tlic  account  in  Genesis  gives  many  allusions  to 
manners  and  customs,  purely  Oriental  and  strictly 
peculiar  to  the  II(!bresvs  as  distinct  from  tlie  people 
around  them.  The  drawing  of  water  at  the  well

on  her  shoulder  instead  of  on  tlie  head,  as  other 
people  do;  her  manner  of  giving  drink  from  the 
])itcher  on  her  hand;  her  respectful  request, 
"Drink,  my  lord,"  and  finally  her  watering  the

ticular, and  of  IIel)rews  only.  Tlie  ornaments  she 
wore,  tlie  hospitality  offered  and  given,  tlie  mar- 
riage contract,  journey  to  Canaan,  the  manner  in 
which  she  met  and  saluted  her  betrothed  husband, 
all  indicate  the  minute  truth  and  accuracy  of  the 
Bible  text.  Rebekah  was  buried  in  Slachpelah, 
where  she  is  still  honored  with  a  tomb  near  her 
husband's. 

RE'CHAB  (horseman).  1.  Ancestor  of  Jehonadab

men,  and  especially  Israel  (Job  xix.  25).

xiv.  2,  9,  16,  etc.  The  Gulf  of  Suez  in  tlie  Exodus,

icool  (in  whiteness)  is  thrown  up  in  great  quantif  ies 
on  tlie  shores  of  the  Red  Sea  (Diodoriis  iii.  19). 
The  same  word  was  used  to  name  the  weeds,  or 
reeds,  in  which  Moses  was  laid  when  an  infant 
(Ex.  ii.  3).  It  is  thought  the  papyrus  was  meant. 
The  Abyssinians  now  use  papyrus  boats.

Sea,"  the  head  of  the  Suez  Gulf,  has  dried  up,  as 
predicted  by  Isaiah  (xi.  15,  xix.  5),  for  a  distance 
of  50  uis.  The  ancient  liead  would  have  been 
at  Aboo  Ki'shtinl,  whicii  has  becTi  i(h'ntilii'd  witli 
the  ancient  lIiTO.  Necho's  canal,  wliicli  was  widt* 
enough  for  two  triremes  to  row  abreast  (Herodo- 
tus ii.  loS),  once  led  from  the  gulf  to  tht-  Nile,  but 
it  is  now  tilled  with  sand.  The  Suez  canal,  just 
opened,  leads  to  the  Mediterranean.  The  sea  is 
nearly  1400  nis.  long  by  U)0  to  liOO  nis.  in  its 
widest  part.  The  deV'oest  water  is  t),;5li4  feet,  in 
lat.  I'lJO  M'.  It  is  filled  with  coral  ami  other  rocks 
and  rocky  islands  for  40  or  r>0  nis.  on  each  side, 
leaving  a  narrow  and  dangerous  channel,  which  is 
narrowest  opposite  El  Medeenah.  Tlu'  Suez  (iulf 
is  130  ms.  long  and  18  wide.  The  Akabali  (kilf  is 
100  nis.  long  by  15  witle.  This  is  a  continuation  of 
the  Ara/jiih,  and  is  bordered  on  both  sides  by  steep 
and  high  mountains— Sinai  on  the  west,  and  the 
spurs  of  Mt.  Seir,  Edom,  on  the  east,  from  a.OOO  to 
0,000  feet  high,  the  highest  being  to  the  south. 
The  island  of  Graia,  fortified  by  the  crusaders,  lies 
near  the  west  shore,  not  far  from  the  north  end. 
The  ruins  of  walls,  ca.stles,  a  church,  etc.,  mostly 
of  the  middle  ages,  cover  the  whole  rocky  area. 
The  straits  at  the  south  end  of  the  sea  arc  called 
Bab  el  Mandeb  (Gate  of  Tears),  from  the  many 
shipwrecks  which  have  happened  after  passing

REESAI'AS.    Raamiah  (1  Esd.  v.  «). 

REFINER  (Ileb.  zoref.  mezaref).  Kelining 
being  the  separation  of  the  pui'e  metal  from  the 
dross,  by  means  of  fire,  suggested  an  apt  subject 
for  illustration,  as  in  Is.  i.  25;  Zech.  xhi.  9;  Mai.  iii. 
2,  3.  A  full,  figurative  allusion  to  the  refiner's 
process  is  in  Jer.  vi.  29,  30.    See  Metals. 

REFUGE,  CITIES  OF.  6  out  of  the  48  Levitical 
cities  were  set  apart  as  a  refuge  for  any  one  who 
should  accidentally  kill  another,  to  stay  there  until 
the  death  of  the  high-priest  (Num.  xxxv.  6, 13,  15; 
Josh.  XX.  2,  7,  9).  There  were  3  on  each  side  of 
Jordan.  On  the  E.  side  were  Bezer,  Ramoth  in 
Gilead,  and  Golan,  and  on  the  W.  side  were  Ke- 
desh  in  Galilee,  Shechem,  and  Hebron.  The  right 
of  asylum  of  many  cities,  in  ancient  classic  na- 
tions, and  of  sanctuary  in  Christian  countries  (the 
privilege  of  many  churches  in  the  middle  ages  es- 
pecially), are  parallel,  and  show  the  wisdom  of  the 
law-makers,  in  providing  a  means  of  abating  the 
evils  of  the  system  of  blood-revenge,  which  are 
peculiarly  Oriental,  and  very  wasteful  of  human 
life.  Moses  abolished  the  custom  of  allowing  money 
to  be  paid  as  a  compensation  for  a  human  life,  as 
was  the  case  in  Athens  and  many  eastern  coun- 
tries, and  is  now  among  the  Arabs.  The  cities  are 
each  described  under  tneir  respective  names.

RE'GEM  ME'LECH  {frieiul  of  the  king) .  He,  with

takers of  the  Divine  Nature  (2  Pet.  i.  4)  by  means 
of  the  Holy  Spirit  (John  iii.  4).  "  The  washing  of

liis  father's  counselors  he  hastened  the  division  of 
the  tribes  which  had  been  restrained  by  the  govern- 
ment of  Solomon.  Instead  of  forcing  submission 
by  military  means,  Rehoboam  was  advised  by 
Sliemaiah  to  fortify  the  cities  against  the  Egyptians 
(2  Chr.  xi.  (5-10) .  But  resistance  was  useless  against 
Shishak,  king  of  Egypt,  who,  after  having  forced 
the  protecting  line  of  fortresses,  marched  upon  Je- 
rusalem, ancf  Rehoboam  had  to  purchase  his  re- 
lease by  giving  up  the  treasure  accumulated  by 
Solomon,  including  th<^  golden  shields.  After  this 
calamity  he  reigned  peacefully.  He  was  on  the 
throne  seventeen  years.

from  Amos  v.  26).  The  Hebrew  name  of  the 
Greek  god  Saturn.  See  Idolatry.  Saturn  was  a 
king  of  Latium,  and  was,  after  his  death,  deified, 
and  worshi^jed  as  the  god  of  agriculture.  (Gr.  so- 
tor,  plarder). 

EEND'ING,  RENT.    Dress;  Mourning. 

REPENT'ANCE  (Heb.  noham).  (Hos.  xiii.  14).

17).  God  is  sometimes  said  to  repent  of  something 
he  had  done  (Gen.  vi.  6).  The  true  Gospel  re- 
pentance is  sorrow  for  sin  (Matt.  xiv.  17).

REPH'AIM,  THE  VALLEY  OF  {mlley  of  the 
stretched=gMnts).  On  the  south  of  a  hill  which 
borders  the  valley  of  Hinnom,  on  the  west.  David 
made  it  famous  on  two  (or  three)  distinct  occa- 
sions (2  Sam.  V.  18,  22;  Is.  xvii.  5).  The  very 
interesting  incident  related  in  2  Sam.  xxiii.  13-17, 
took  place  on  one  of  these  invasions  of  the  Philis- 
tines. This  valley  (or  plain)  is  flat,  fertile,  is  shut 
in  on  all  sides  by  rocky  hill-tops  and  ridges,  and 
ends  to  the  west  of  the  valley  of  Roses  (Wady  el 
Werd). 

EEPHI'DIM  {rests,  or  stays),  (Ex.  xvii.  1,  8, 
xix.  2).  Station  of  the  Exodus,  oetween  Egyi^t 
and  Sinai.  The  people  murmured  for  water,  and 
Moses  smote  the  rock  in  Horeb  "before  the 
people;"  and  therefore  if  Horeb  and  Sinai  be 
located  at  Jebel  Sufsafeh  and  its  vicinity,  then 
Rephidim  would  be  in  Wady  es  Sheikh.  Wan- 
dering.

ancient  Calah,  and  those  on  the  opposite  side  of 
the  river  are  the  remains  of  Nineveh;  and  there 
are  remains  between  the  two,  at  Selamiyeh,  which 
answer  to  the  locality  of  Resen. 

RESH  (Heb.  reysh).  The  twentieth  letter  of 
the  Hebrew  alphabet  (Ps.  cxix).    Writing. 

RE'SHEPH  \flaine).  Sou  of  Ephraim  (1  Chr. 
vii.  25). 

RESURRECTION,  Gr.  anastasis,  uprising;  exar^ 
astasia,  a  rising  up  out  of  (Phil.  iii.  11);  egersis, 
waking  up;  " resiu-rection "  in  John  xi.  25;  and 
several  other  words,  or  derivatives,  are  rendered 
resurrection. 

The  idea  is  the  rising  again  of  the  body  from 
death,  or  its  return  to  life  in  two  senses;  1,  of  those 
who  have  been  brought  back  to  this  fife  after 
death,  as  Lazarus,  the  widow's  son  of  Nain,  etc., 
and  2,  of  all  true  Christains,  who  will  be  raised  in 
the  future  world. 

This  is  one  of  the  vital  points  in  the  Christian's 
creed.  If  there  is  no  resurrection  then  there  is  no 
hope  beyond  this  life.  The  Old  Testament  history 
prefigures  the  doctrine,  in  its  records  of  several 
instances  of  restoration  to  life  after  death,  as  by 
Elijah  (1  K.  xvii.  21-24),  and  Elisha  (2  K.  iv.  20, 
32-36).  The  vision  of  the  dry  bon(>s  may  be  ac- 
cepted as  touching  on  the  general  belief,  though 


not  a  case  of  practical  proof;  the  translations  of 
Enoch  and  Elijah  cannot  argue  resurrection,  be- 
cause death  did  not  take  place,  and  they  are  simply 
evidence  of  a  continued  existence  after  this  life 
(Gen.  V.  22;  2  K.  ii.). 

The  Hebrews  believed  in  an  underworld,  where 
the  spirits  or  souls  of  all  who  had  lived  were  still  liv- 
ing and  recognizable,  which  they  called  Hell,  and  did 
not  restrict  it  to  the  modern  meaning  of  that  word, 
which  is  that  it  is  the  place  of  the  wicked  only. 
To  the  Hebrews  it  was  the  place  where  all  soma 
went — or  the  condition  that  all  souls  were  in  after 
death  and  separation  from  the  body  (Ps.  xvi.  10; 
fulfilled  in  Acts  ii.  25-31,  xiii.  35).  In  Isaiah 
(xxvi.  19),  there  is  a  direct  statement  of  the  belief 
as  a  prophesy  of  the  restoration  of  the  Jewish 
nation;  as  though  he  founded  his  argument  on  a 
well  known  and  undoubted  belief.  Daniel  (xii. 
1-3),  gives  exactly  the  Christian  idea  of  the  final 
resurrection. 

"  Life  and  immortality"  are  "brought  to  light 
by  the  gospel."  The  New  Testament  idea  is  that 
it  is  (1)  to  be  universal  (John  v.  28,  29;  2  Cor.  v. 
10;  Rev.  xx.  13),  (2)  and  that  souls  will  be  recog- 
nizable ;  but  whether  the  identity  will  be  from 
physical  or  spiritual  sources  we  are  not  instructed, 
unless  Paul  means  that  it  will  be  spiritual  in  his 
argument  to  the  Romans  (vi.  viii.)  and  to  the  Co- 
rinthians (1  Cor.  XV.  44),  where  we  may  possibly 
see  evidence  of  a  belief  in  the  rising  of  the  identi- 
cal shapes  of  our  bodies  of  flesh,  but  changed  into 
a  spiritual  substance.  (3).  The  belief  in  a  future 
life  for  the  saints  only  and  a  second  death  for  the 
iraijenitent  is  held  by  many,  who  find  in  the  life 
and  works  of  Jesus,  and  in  Paul  and  John's  teach- 
ing much  to  confirm  this  view.  (4).  It  is  the  work 
of  Jesus  that  has  secured  the  resurrection  and  life 
of  all  who  believe  on  Him,  and  His  voice  will  call 
them  from  the  tomb,  who  prayed,  "Father,  I  will 
that  they  also,  whom  thou  hast  given  me,  may  be 
with  me  where  I  am."  (5).  The  time  of  the  re- 
surrection is  not  determined.  There  may  be  two, 
or  rather  two  objects  or  ends  to  be  answered:  one 
being  the  actual  life,  which  is  believed  to  have  been 
already  given  to  several,  whose  names  are  men- 
tioned in  the  Bible ;  and  the  other  the  great  day  of 
judgment.    Second  Advent. 

The  judgment  comes  after  death,  which  is  the 
end  of  the  world  for  each  soul,  without  regard  to 
the  whole  human  race.  It  does  not  follow  that 
there  will  be  no  judgment  until  the  last  soul  is 
born,  lives,  and  dies,  for  it  may  be  understood  as 
an  Orientalism,  meaning  the  end  of  this  life  for 
each  soul,  what  will  happen  to  each  soul  and  all 
souls,  without  exception  (small  and  great),  who 
must  stand  before  the  great  white  throne  (white — 
pure — the  only  perfectly  just  tribunal). 

Jesus  "the  author  and  finisher  of  our  faith" 
was  "the  first  fruits  of  them  that  slept,"  and  His 
was  the  same  body  that  was  crucified,  as  He  con- 
vinced Thomas  by  actual  touch,  but  He  did  not 
instruct  His  disciples  what  to  expect,  so  it  remains 
a  matter  of  faith  for  all  His  followers  to  expect  to 
be  like  Him  (1  John  iii.  2).

EING  (tabba'ath,  galil;  Gr.  daMvlir'.s).  The 
ring,  besides  being  an  ornament,  was  used  as  a  sig- 
net, or  sign-manual,  when  its  setting  was  engraved 
with  some  device,  with  or  without  the  name  of  the 
owner,  which  was  recognized  as  his  personal  em- 
blem (Neh.  X.).  Such  rings  or  seals  were  used  by 
all  persons  in  authority,  and  when  stamped  upon 
the  parchment,  or  on  a  piece  of  wax  or  clay  at- 
tached, stood  instead  of  the  name  of  the  person 
agreeing  to  the  compact.  See  Seal.  Several 
ancient  rings  have  been  preserved  to  the  present, 
among  which  are  the  rings  of  Thothmes  III,  and  of 
Pharaoh  (Suphis) :  [cuts  on  pps.  84, 12.  ]  The  Scrip-

RIVER,    7  distinct    Hebrew  words   are   trans- 
lated by   "river"   in  our  version.    By  river  we 
mean  a  large  stream  of  water,  flowing  summer  and 
winter,  and  we  have  names  for  smaller  streams,  as, 
stream,  creek,  brook,  torrent,  rill,    rivulet,  etc. 
There  are  such  differences  in  the  original  Hebrew, 
wliich  were  overlooked  in  the  translation,  and  it 
may  be  interesting  to  notice  them:    1.  aubal,  tu- 
bal (Jer.  xviii.  «;  Dan.  viii.  2,  3,  6),  tumult,  ful- 
ness.   The  word  used  for  the  deluge  is  from"  the 
same  root,  and  is  hammabul  (only  in  Genesis,  and 
Ps.  xxix.  10).— nahah  (Gen  ii.  10;  Ex.  vii.  19, 
etc.),  to  flow.    This  means  a  river,  as  we  use  tlie 
word.    With  the  definite  article  HAN-nahar,  {tlie 
river),  the  Euplirates  is  meant  (Gen.  xxxi.  21;  2 
Sam.  X.  Ifi,  etc.).— Incorrectly  rendered  "flood"  in 
Josh.  xxiv.  2,  where  the  Euphrates  is  meant;  and 
in  Job  xiv.  11,  Ps.  Ixvi.  6,  where  the  Red  Sea,  or 
the  Jordan,  is  referred  to.    The  Arab  name  of  river 
is  nahr;  now  used  for  all  perennial  streams.— 3. 
N(t,kh(d,  {to  receive),  as,  a  water-course,  therefore, 
a  torrent-bed,  common  in  Palestine,  having  water 
only  in  winter.    This  is  translated   "valley"  in 
Gen.  xxvi.  17,  Num.  xxi.  12-  "brook,"  Deut.  ii.l3, 
2K.  xxiii.6-12;  "river"  inAmosvi.  14;  "streams" 
in  Ps.  Ixxviii.  20;  and,  in  all  these   cases  valley 
is  the  true  meaning.     The  modern  term  is  wady 
for  such  valleys  as  are  dry  in  summer. — 4.  peleg 
{to flow,  ov division):    "liiver,"  in  Ps.  i.  3,  Is.  xxx. 
'25,  Job  XX.  17;    "stream,"  in  Ps.  xlvi.  4;    "divi- 
sions," in  Judg.  V.  15,  16.    The  word  means,  arti- 
ficial streams  for  irrigation.— 5.  aphik  {forai  or 
hold,  as,  the  bank  of  a  river) :    "River"  m  Cant. 
V.  12,  Ez.  vi.  3,  xxxi.  12,  and  "streams"   in  Ps. 
cxxvi.  4;  in  which  last  passage  it  refers  to  the  dry 
water-courses  of  the  Negeb,  or  South.    In  2  Sam. 
xxii.  16  it  is  translated  "channels,"  and  also  in  Ps. 
xviii.  15.— 6.  YEOK,  (tlie  Mle),  a  word  adopted  into 
the  Hebrew  from  the  Egyptian  language.    Tliis  is 
the  word  used  for  the  Nile  in  Genesis  and  Exodus, 
and  is  mistranslated  "flood"  in  Amos  viii.  8,  ix.  5. 
lliVER  OF  Egypt.    Two  terms  were  used  in  the 
original— differing,  as  will  be  seen— both  of  which 
are  translated  "river  of  Egypt."    1.  >fAHAR  mitz- 
RAiM  (Gen.  XV.  18),  meaning  TJie  Mle  (probably 
before  the  name  yeor  was  known  to  the  Hebrews). 
—2.  NAKHAL  MiTZRAiM  (Nuiu.  xxxiv.  5),  meaning 
tlie  dry  water-course  of  El  Arish.    The  Nile  is  also 
called  SHiHOR  (Josh.  xiii.  3,  etc.).  The  importance 
of  these  corrections  is  felt,  when  it  is  seen  that  we 
are  able  to  prove  by  them  that  tlie  original  Hebrew 
text  was  true  in  every  one  of  its  references  to  the 
peculiar  features  of  the  countries  referred  to,  even 
in  minute;  particulars. 

RIZTAH  {a  coal).  Second  wife  of  King  Saul, 
memorable  for  the  toucliing  example  of  maternal 
affection  which  she  displayed  in  watching  the  dead 
bodies  of  her  sons  (2  Sam.  iii.  7,  xxi.  8,  10,  11). 

ROABS.  There  were  no  roads,  in  ancient  times, 
in  tlie  East,  only  narrow  tracks,  which  we  would 
call  bridle-paths  (1  Sam.  xxvii.  10).  See  High-

ROB'BERY.  Has  ever  been  one  of  the  principal 
employments  of  the  Bedawin  tribes  of  the  East 
(Gen.  xvi.  12).  For  an  instance  of  a  trulv  Bedawin 
character,  see  1  Sam.  xxvi.  6-12. 

RO'BOAM.    Rehoboam  (Ecclus.  xlvii.  23). 

ROCK  (sela,  tstir).  Rocks  were  used  for  fort- 
resses and  strongholds.  The  word  denotes  a  place 
of  security,  and,  figuratively,  a  refuge,  defense  or 
protection  (Ps.  xviii.  2,  31,  46). 

ROD  (hoter,  matter,  makkel,  shebet;  Gr. 
rhabdos).  A  branch  or  stick,  such  as  maybe  used 
for  a  whip  (Prov.  xiv.  3);  also  a  shepherd's  staff 
(Ex.  iv.  2  ff).    The  badge  of  authority  of  a  ruler 


or  king  (Ps.  ex.  2).  An  instrument  for  punish- 
ment or  correction  (Prov.  x.  13). 

ROD'ANIM  (1  Chr.  i.  7).    Dodanim. 

ROE.  Roebuck  (Heb.  zebi,  masc,  zebiyait, 
fem.).  The  Oriental  antelope  or  gazelle.  It  is

brown  color,  with  wliite  feet  and  belly,  has  long 
naked  ears,  and  a  short  erect  tail.  The  horns  are 
black,  about  twelve  inches  long  and  bent  like  a 
lyre.  It  inhabits  Barbary,  Egypt,  Arabia  and 
Syria,  and  is  about  half  the  size  of  the  fallow-deer. 
It  goes  in  large  flocks;  is  easily  tamed,  thougli  very 
timid;  its  flesh  is  considered  excellent  food  (Deut 
xii.  15,  22).

ROMAM'TIE'ZER  {I have  exalted  his  help) .  Son 
of  Heman,  and  chief  in  the  twenty-fourth  division 
(1  Chr.  XXV.  4,  31). 

RO'MAN.  An  inhabitant  of  Rome  (John  xi. 
48);  also  one  who  had  the  rights  of  a  citizen  of 
Rome  (Acts  xvi.  37,  38). 

ROMAN  EMPIRE.  Rome  is  first  mentioned  in  1 
Mace.  i.  10,  in  connection  with  Antiochus  Epi- 
phanes,  who  had  been  a  hostage  there,  and  was  a 
"wicked  root."  Pompey  made  Syria  a  Roman 
province,  B.  C.  65,  and  took  Jerusalem  two  years 
later  (Ant.  xiv.  2,  3,  4;  Wars  i.  6,  7).  Herod  was 
made  the  first  king  under  Roman  rule  by  Antony, 
B.  C.  40,  and  was  confirmed  by  Augustus,  B.  C.  30. 
The  tribute  paid  to  Caesar  (Julius)  was  a  fourtli 
part  of  their  agricultural  produce  in  addition  to  tlie 
tithes  (Ant.  xiv.  10,  6).  After  A.  D.  6,  Juda;a  was 
made  a  province  of  Syria  at  the  request  of  tlie 
Jews,  who  were  worn  out  by  the  cruelties  of  the 
Herods,  with  the  capital  at  Caesarea;  Coponiusv/as 
the  first  procurator,  and  Pilate  was  the  fifth.  Jesus 
was  crucified  during  Pilate's  reign  (A.  I).  25  to  35). 
The  many  complaints  of  the  tyranny  of  Pilate 
caused  him  to  be  ordered  to  Rome  for  trial  by 
Vitellius,  president  of  Syria ;  but  the  Emperor 
Tiberius  died  before  his  arrival.  (Ant.  xviii.  4, 
1-3).  Justin  Martyr,  Teitullian,  Eusebius  and 
others  say  that  Pilate  made  an  official  re])ort  to 
Tiberius  of  the  crucifixion  of  Jesus;  which  account 
is  also  mentioned  by  Chrysostoni.  Euseliius  says 
that  Pilate  killed  liimself,  being  "wearied  with 
misfortunes, ' ' — perhaps  on  account  of  remorse  for 
his  conduct  in  Jerusalem. 

The  Roman  empire  was  but  a  narrow  strip  along 
the  shores  of  the  ISIediterranean  until  Pompey 
addedAsia  Minor,  Syria,  and  (Antony)  Egyjit; 
Cjesar  conquered  Gaul;  the  generals  of  Augustus, 
Spain,  and  from  the  Alps  to  the  Danube.  Its  popu- 
lation in  the  time  of  Cliristwas85  millions.  Gibbon 
says  it  was  120  millions  in  the  time  of  Claudius, 
who  appointed  Felix  procurator  (A.  D.  62-60). 
Festus  succeeded  him,  and  heard  Paul  (Acts  xxv., 
etc.).  Vespasian  was  sent  into  Judaea  in  A.  I).  67, 
with  a  large  army.  Nero  died  in  68,  and  Vespasian 
was  elected  emperor  by  the  legions  in  Judaea. 
Titus  was  sent  to  conduct  the  war  in  Judaja  by  Ids 
father  A.  D.  70,  when  he  took  Jerusalem  after  a 
siege  of  four  months.  Julius  Caesar  allowed  the 
Jews  to  live  after  their  own  customs,  even  in 
Rome;  which  privileges  were  confirmed  l)y  Augus- 
tus, who  also  respected  their  Sabbath  (Ant.  xiv. 
10,  n,  in),  and  exempted  them  from  military  ser- 
vice; but  Tiberius  and  Claudius  banished  them 
from  Rome,  as  Suetonius  says,  because  they  were 
continually  raising  disturbances  under  the  impulse 
of  Chrestus — i.  e.,  Christ.

HOME.  The  City  of  Rome  was  founded  B.  C. 
75;{,  on  7  hills,  15  ms.  from  the  mouth  of  the 
Tiber  (Kev.  xvii.  S»)-  The  nu)dern  city  lies  to  the

seven  hills.  It  is  only  mentioned  in  Maccabees, 
Acts,  Kpistle  to  the  Eomans,  and  2d  Timothy. 
The  Jews  first  settled  in  Kome  after  Pompey's 
conquests,  when  the  Jewish  kiufj,  Aristobulns,  and 
his  son  were  led  in  triumph.  At  the  time  of  Paul's 
visit  (after  Au>i;ustus  had  "found  the  city  of  brick 
and  left  it  of  marble")  the  population  was  on(> 
million  two  hundred  thousand  (Gibbon)— or\e-]\n\i 
being  slaves,  and  a  large  part  of  the  freemen  de- 
pendent oTi  the  rich,  and  living  like  paiipers  on 
public  gratuities.  Rome  became  the  greatest  re- 
pository of  architecture,  pictures,  and  sculptures 
that  the  world  ever  saw.  The  luxury,  profligacy, 
and  crime  of  this  age  is  beyond  the  descriptive 
power  of  letters.  It  is  believed  that  Paul  lived 
iK-re  "two  whole  years,"  in  his  own  hired  house, 
bound  by  a  cliain  to  a  soldier,  according  to  the  then 
custotn  of  keeping  certain  jirisoners  (Acts  xii.  H, 
xxviii.  IB,  20,  30).  Five  of  Paul's  epistles  were 
written  at  Kojue,  one  of  them  just  before  liis  deatli, 
as  is  believed  by  beheading. 

The  localities  made  interesting  by  Paul  at  Rome 
are:  the  Appian  Way,  by  which  "he  approached 
the  city;  Cee.sar's  Coiut,  or  Palace  (Phil.  i.  13); 
and  the  Palatine  Hill,  on  whicli  was  Cpesar'shonse- 
hol<l  (ib.  iv.  22),  and  probably  Paul's  residence. 
It  is  also  said,  traditionally,  tliat  Peter  and  Paul 
were  fellow-prisoners,  for  nin(^  months,  in  the 
Mamertine  prison,  which  is  now  .shown  under  the 
chun-h  of  S.  (iiuseppe  dei  Falegnami;  and  that 
they  separated  on  their  way  to  martyrdom  at  a 
spot  on  the  Ostian  road,  now  marked  by  a  chapel;

and  the  church  of  St.  Paolo  marks  tlie  site  of 
Paul's  martyrdom.  The  spot  where  Peter  suffered 
is  also  covered  by  the  church  of  St.  Pietro  in  Mon- 
torio,  on  th(^  Jau'iculuin.  A  chapel  on  the  Appian 
VV^ay  locates  the  beaulifui  legend  of  Jesus  appear- 
ing to  I'eter  as  he  was  escaping  from  martyrdom, 
who,  ashamed,  returned  and  submitted  to  his  fate 
(Ambrose).  The  bodies  of  the  two  apo.stles  were 
lirst  laid  in  the  catacombs,  and  were  finally  buried, 
Paul  on  the  Ostian  road,  and  Peter  in  the  church 
of  St.  Peter.  The  ruins  of  the  Coliseum  are  still 
standing,  as  a  memorial  of  those  early  nameless 
Christians  who  were  exjjosed  to  the  wild  beasts  in 
its  areiui,  for  the  gratitication  of  the  people,  who, 
while  witnessing  these  awful  sights,  were  sprinkled 
with  ])erfumed  water,  which  was  conveyed  about 
the  building  in  secret  pipes.  Nearly  two-thirds  of 
the  ancient  site  (within  Aurelian's  walls)  are  cov- 
ei'ed  with  ruins,  and  a  few  churches  and  convents, 
or  open  waste-places.  In  Pliny's  time  the  circuit 
of  the  city  was  20  uis.;  it  is  now  about  15  ms. 

The  lii'st  Christian  church 
in  Rome  was  built  by  Con- 
stantine,  who  gave  his  own 
palace  on  the  CaUian  hill  as 
a  site.  St.  Peter's  on  the 
Vatican  hill  was  built  next, 
A.  D.  324:— the  first  edifice 
built  on  the  site— out  of  the 
ruins  of  the  temples  of  Apol- 
lo and  Mars,  and  stood  1200 
years,  being  superseded  by 
th(^  present  magnificent 
structure. 

Rome  is  called  Babylon 
(on  account  of  the  spe(;ial 
hate  of  th((  Jews  for  the 
tyranny  of  its  rulers),  in  Rev. 
xiv.  8,  xvi.  19,  xvii.  5,  xviii. 
2, — as  the  centre  of  heathen- 
ism, in  contrast  to  Jerusa- 
lem, the  centre  of  Judaism. 
It  is  .supposed  that  the  first 
Church  in  Rome  consisted 
mainly  of  Gentiles.  (See

BOOT  (Heb.  shoresh;  Gr.  rMza).  The  part  of 
a  tree  or  ])lant  under  ground  (Job  viii.  17).  In 
poetry  persons  and  nations  are  often  compared  to 
a  plant  or  tree  (Is.  v.  24);  figuratively,  the  lowest

Roses  are  greatly  prized  in  the  East,  for  the  rose- 
water,  which  is  in  much  request.  Several  varieties 
are  still  found  in  Palestine.  The  "  rose  of  Sharon  " 
is  sacredly  assf)ciated  with  the  heavenly  bride- 
groom (Cant.  ii.  1). 

The  Rose  of  Sharon  is  thought  by  some  to  have 
been  the  (Jistus,  Rock-ro.se,  of  w"hich  there  are 
several  varieties  in  Palestine,  and  is  now  chiefly 
found  on  the  hills,  and  especially  on  Mcmnt  Car- 
mel,  where  it  ahuost  covers  whole  districts,  tinting 
entire  hillsides,  as  set^n  from  a  di.stance,  in  April. 

Others,  as  Tri.stram  (Nat.  Hist.  47fi),  thinks  it 
was  the  Sweet-scented  Narcissus,  a  native  of  Pales- 
tine, growing  on  Sharon,  and  nearly  all  over  the 
country.  It  is  very  fragrant,  and  an  especial  fa-

Dr.  Thomson  suggested  the  Mallow,  marsh-mal- 
lows, which  grows  into  a  stout  bush,  and  bears 
thousands  of  beautiful  flowers.  Others  again  sug- 
gest the  asphodel  or  the  lily. 

ROSH.  InEz.  xxxviii.  2,  3,  xxxix.  1,  this  name 
is  translated  "chief,"  and  should  read,  "Magog, 
the  prince  of  Rosh,  Meshech,  and  Tubal."  The 
Russ,  or  Russians,  are  also  mentioned  in  the 
Koran.  The  country  of  the  children  of  Rasses 
(Jud.  ii.  23)  was  ravaged  by  Ilolofenx^s.  Meshech 
is  said  to  be  the  original  Muscovy,  and  Rosh,  the

having  a  strong  odor  and  a  bitter  taste:  a  shrubby 
plant,  about  2  ft.  high,  and  u.sed  as  a  medicine.  In

RYE  (KUSSEMETH),  (Ex.  ix.  32).  Rye  is  not  an 
Egyptian  or  Syrian  grain,  but  rather  "a  northern 
plant.  It  is  closely  allied  to  wheat,  which  it  much 
resembles.  The  sheath  is  coarser,  and  rougher,  and 
the  beard  long.  It  is  of  less  value,  and  the  flour  is 
generally  mixed  with  that  of  wheat.  See  Har- 
vest.

SABACTHA'NI  {hcM  tlmi  forsalrn  vie  ?).  A  part 
of  our  Saviour's  exclamation  on  the  cross  (Matt, 
xxvii.  46);  the  whole  is  taken  from  Ps.  xx.  1,  where 
it  is  used  prophetically. 

SAB'AOTH  (zeboth,  hodn  or  armies),  (Joel  ii.

SAB 'BATH  (Heb.  shabbath,  the  [day  of]  rest). 
The  name  given  to  the  seventh  day  of  the  week 
under  the  old  covenant.  Division"  of  time  into 
weeks  was  the  custom  from  the  earliest  recorded 
ages,  among  the  rudest  as  well  as  the  most  culti- 
vated people.  (Chronology.)  It  is  the  only  or- 
dinance besides  marriage  which  dates  from  the 
Creation  (Gen.  ii.  3),  and  it  is  one  of  the  subjects 
of  the  Decalogue  (Ex.  xxxiv.  21).  In  Leviticus 
the  whole  law  is  repeated  (xxiii.  2,  3),  and  one  of 
the  finest  of  the  Psalms  was  written  in  honor  of 
the  day  (Ps.  xcii.).  The  prophets  also  honor  the 
Sabbath  as  a  holy  day  (Is.  Ivi.  1,  2;  Ez.  xx.  12, 
xliv.  24,  xlvi.  3). 


The  observance  of  the  Sabbath  indicated  a  pros- 
perity of  religion,  and  its  neglect  showed  a  decay 
of  religion  generally.  The  day  of  rest  was  a  great 
boon  to  the  laborer,  and  to  animals  (Ex.  xxiiiyi2), 
but  the  great  importance  of  the  institution  was  its 
spirital  and  religious  meaning,  and  as  a  sign  of  the 
holiness  of  God,  aiul  the  holiness  required  of  His 
people.  Its  deUberate  violation  was  punished  with 
death  (Num.  xv.  32-36). 

The  special  rites  and  services  appointed  for  the 
day  show  that  it  was  to  be  spent  in  thoughts  and 
exercises  on  the  character  and  ways  of  (iod.  The 
services  of  the  sanctuary  were  peculiar  to  the  day 
(Num.  xxviii.  9;  Lev.  xxiv.  .3-9);  and  the  laws  of 
Moses  were  read  (Acts  xv.  21),  "teaching  Jacob 
God's  judgments  and  Israel  His  law"  (Deut.  xxxiii. 
10). 

Josephns  alludes  to  the  origin,  design,  and  ob- 
servance of  the  day  in  his  discourse  against  Apion 
(ii.  18). 

Jesus  instructed  His  disciples,  by  His  example  as 
well  as  words,  to  keep  the  law  of  the  Sabbath,  and 
to  works  of  kindness  ahd  mercy,  and  exercise  of 
piety  (Matt.  xii.  1-13;  Mark  iii."  1-5;  Luke  iv.  16, 
vi.  9),  and  to  keep  the  day  in  its  true  spirit,  as  a 
day  of  personal  privilege  and  benevolent  useful- 
ness, for  "  the  Sabbath  was  made  for  man,  and  not 
man  for  the  Sabl)ath." 

In  Colossians  ii.  16,  Paul  argues  from  the  fact  of 
the  Sabbath  having  been  superseded  by  the  Lord's 
day. 

SABBATH  DAY'S  JOURNEY.  The  distance  be- 
tween the  tents  and  the  ark  in  the  camp,  which 
was  2000  cubits.  The  conmion  cubit  of  18  inches 
would  be  3000  feet,  and  the  sacred  cubit  of  19.05 
inches  would  be  4,762  feet.  The  English  mile  is 
5,280  feet. 

SABBATHE'US.  Shabbethai,  the  Levite  (1  Esd. 
ix.  14). 

SABBE'US.    SHEMAIAH14  (1  Esd.  ix.  .32).

cated in  Arabia,  along  the  southern  coast.  Pliny 
(vi.  xxiii.  32)  says  the  chief  city  of  the  region  had

SACK'CLOTH  (Heb.  SAK;  Gr.  sdhi.os).  A  coarse 
stuff,  of  a  dark  color,  often  made  of  goats'-hair  (Is. 
1,  3),  and  the  coarse,  black  hair  of  tlie  camel.  In 
great  calamities — in  penitence,  in  trouble — the 
Jews  wore  sackcloth  about  their  bodies  (Gen. 
xxxvii.  34);  The  robe  resembled  a  sack,  and  was 
confined  by  a  girdle  of  the  same  material  (2  Sam. 
iii.  31).  In  times  of  joy  those  who  were  clad  in 
sackcloth  took  it  off,  and  put  on  their  usual  cloth- 
ing (Is.  xxxli.  11).     See  Dress.

(Ex.  XXX.  7,  8),  and  on  the  Great  Day  of  Atone- 
ment. There  were  also  the  individual  offerings  of 
the  people.    See  Priests.

SAD'DUCEES  (named  from  Zadok,  the  high- 
priest).  A  religious  sect  of  the  Jews  at  the  time 
of  Christ,  who  refused  to  accept  that  the  oral  law 
was  the  revelation  of  God  to  the  Israelites,  and 
believed  exclusively  in  the  written  law.  They 
joined  with  the  Pharisees  in  asking  for  a  sign  from 
heaven  (Matt.  xvi.  1,  4,  <!),  but  opposed  their  doc- 
trines otherwise.  The  Saclducees  never  exercised 
the  influence  that  the  Pharisees  did,  and  were 
more  tolerant.  They  rejected  th(^  belief  in  a  resur- 
rection (Matt.  xxii.  23),  nor  did  they  believe  in 
future  rewards  and  punishments.  The  high -priest, 
at  the  time  of  Christ,  was  of  this  sect,  and  the  doc- 
ti'ine  of  the  resurrection  preached  by  Christ  ren- 
dered the  Sadducees  especially  bitter  against  him 
(Acts  iv.  1,  V.  17),  but  he  did  not  censure  the  Sad- 
ducees as  much  as  the  Pharisees.

SALUTATION  (Heb.  shalom  lekha).  Peace 
be  with  thee  (Joh)i  xx.  19).  By  this  term  is  meant 
the  friendly  greeting,  which,  in  ancient  as  in  mod- 
ern times,  takes  place  between  persons  when  meet- 
ing or  parting;  also  when  sending  letters. 

At  parting  the  form  was  much  the  same  as  at 
meeting.  "  Go  in  peace  (Judg.  xviii.  6).  The  letter 
of  an  Arab  will  be  nearly  filled  with  salutations; 
and  should  he  come  in  to  tell  you  your  house  is 
on  fire,  he  would  first  give  and  receive  the  compli- 
ments of  the  day  before  saying  your  house  is  on 
fire.  Salutations  are  also  given  by  kissing  the 
hand,  the  forehead,  cheek,  the  beard  of  a  superior. 
The  long,  ceremonious  greeting  which  occupied  so 
nmch  time,  was  deemed  unfit  for  the  use  of  the 
preachers  of  the  gospel,  and  they  were  directed  to 
salute  no  one  by  the  v.'ay.  It  is  not  unusual  for 
two  ceremonious  gentlemen  to  inquire  carefully 
after  every  male  relativt^,  especially  ancestors,  of 
each  other,  several  times  over,  at  each  meeting; 
smoking  and  sipping  coffee  during  the  one  or  two 
hours  required  for  this  very  friendly  (?)  greeting. 
Custom  does  not  permit  inquiries  after  each  others' 
female  relatives,  it  being  equal  to  a  decided  insult 
to  even  allude  to  another  man's  wife.  If  a  man 
speaks  of  his  wife  he  apologizes  for  the  discourtesy. 


SAMAKIT.AN    PRIEST. 

SALVA'TION  (Ileb.  yeshah,  yesha;  Gr.  soteria). 
Deliverance  from  tempf)ral  evils  or  earthly  destruc- 
tion (Ex.  xiv.  13).  God  is  figuratively  called 
"salvation"  (Pa.  xxvii.  1).  Jesus  Christ  has 
provided  the  salvation  of  tlie  Gospel,  and  is  pre- 
eminently "the  Saviour"  (Matt.  i.  21).

he  bought  (B.  C.  925)  of  Shemeu  for  two  talents  of 
silver  (1  K.  xvi.  24).  The  site  is  singularly  beau- 
tiful, and  is  always   admired   by  every  visitor. 


Ahab  built  a  temple  to  Baal,  with  images;  and  that 
part  of  the  citj  was  called  "the  city  of  the  house 
of  Baal "  (IK.  xvi.  22),  which  was  destroyed  by 
Jehu  (2  K.  x.  25). 

The  Syrians  besieged  it  in  901  B.  C.  (1  K.  xx.  1), 
and  in  892  B.  C.  (ib.  vi.  24,  vii.  20),  and  in  boti'i 
cases  without  success. 

Shalmanezer,  king  of  Assyria,  took  it  after  a 
siege  of  3  years,  B.  C.  721  (2  K.  xviii.  9,  10),  and 
carried  the  people  away  to  Assyria.  Esarhaddon 
repeopled  the  country  from  Assyria,  and  these 
citizens  were  called  Samaritam.  Josephus  de- 
scribes it  as  a  very  strong  city  in  the  time  of  John 
Hyrcanus,  who  took  it  (B.  C.  109),  after  a  year's 
siege  (Ant.  xiii.  10,  2).  After  this  time  the  Jews 
inhabited  the  city,  until  the  age  of  Alexander  Jan- 
naeus,  and  until  Pompey  restored  it  to  the  de- 
scendants of  the  original  inhabitants  (probably 
the  Syro-Macedonians). 

Herod  the  Great  rebuilt  it  witli  some  splendor, 
and  called  it  Sebaste  (Augustus),  after  his  patron 
the  Emperor  Augustus.  The  wall  was  20  stadia  in 
circuit.  A  magnificent  temple  was  dedicated  to 
CiEsar.  6,000  veteran  soldiers  were  colonized  here, 
and  a  large  district  given  them  for  their  support 
(Ant.  XV.  8,  5;  B.  J.  i.  20,  3,  etc.). 

The  remains  of  the  ancient  city  are  mostly  colon- 
nades of  Herod's  time,  or  older.  There  is  a  group 
of  16  in  a  recess  near  the  bottom  of  the  liill,  another 
of  16  near  the  top,  and  a  long  line  of  columns 
running  around  the  hill,  on  one  side,  on  a  broad 
terrace,  of  which  100  are  now  standing,  and  a 
great  many  others  fallen.  The  whole  hill  is  cov- 
ered with  rubbisli,  the  remains  of  a  large  and  well- 
built  city. 

The  city  is  not  mentioned  in  the  New  Testament, 
and  it  was  commanded,  "Into  any  city  of  the  Sa- 
maritans enter  ye  not." 

Septimus  Severus  planted  a  Roman  colony  there 
in  the  3d  century.  Roman  coins  struck  in  the  city 
are  preserved  of  the  ages  extending  from  Nero  to 
Geta.  In  A.  D.  409  the  Holy  Land  was  divided 
into  3  districts,  of  which  the  country  of  Philistia, 
the  northern  part  of  Judpea  and  Samaria,  formed 
Palestina  Prima;  with  Csesarea  for  its  cajiital. 

The  bishop  of  Samaria  was  present  at  the  Coun- 
cil of  Nicea,  A.  D.  325,  signing  his  name  as  Maxi- 
mus  Sebastenus. 

The  Mohammedans  took  Sebaste  during  their 
siege  of  Jerusalem. 

The  present  village  is  called  Sebusliyeh,  and  con- 
sists of  a  few  houses  scattered  among  the  ruins  of 
the  past.  The  ruined  church  of  St.  John  the  Bap- 
tist bears  traces  of  its  former  magnificence.  A 
long  avenue  of  columns,  many  fallen,  still  lines 
the  upper  terraces  of  the  hill.  The  prophesies  of 
Micah  (i.  6),  and  Hosea  (xiii.  16),  are  descriptive 
of  its  present  condition. 

SAMARIA,  THE  DISTRICT  OF.  Was  so  called 
before  the  city  was  named  (1  K.  xiii.  32),  and  in- 
cluded all  the  tribes  who  accepted  Jeroboam  as 
king,  on  both  sides  of  the  Jordan,  and  the  royal 
residence  was  Shechem  (1  K.  xiii.  25).  The  name 
Samaritan  became^  contracted,  as  the  kingdom  was 
divided  from  time  to  time.  The  first  limitation  was 
probably  the  losinj»-  of  Simeon  and  Dan.  The  sec- 
oiid,  when  Pul,  king  of  Assyria  (B.  C.  771)  car- 
ried away  the  Reubenites  and  Gadites,  and  the 
half  tribe  of  Manasseh  (1  Chr.  v.  26);  the  third, 
when  (lialilee  and  (iilead  were  taken  by  i\\v.  Assyr- 
ians (2  K.  XV.  29);  and  the  fourth,  when  just  be- 
fore the  last  king  of  Israel,  Hoshea,  was  deposed, 
Asher,  Issachar  and  Zebulon,  and  also  Ephraini 
and  Manasseh,  sent  men  up  to  the  Passovir  at  Je- 
rusalem (2  Chr.  XXX.  1-26),  in  Ilezckiali's  reign. 
Thus,  the  kingdom  which  once  extemled  from  the 
sea  to  the  desert  of  Syria,  and  from  Bethel  to  Dan 
in  the  north,  was  divided,  until  only  the  city  Sama- 
ria, with  a  few  villages,  remained  to  the  naiue,  and 
even  these  were  wiped  out  by  Shalmanezer  (2  K.

night  at  Trogyllium,  in  the  nan-ow  strait  between 
Samos  and  >fycale.  The  ancient  Greeks  fought  a 
naval  battle  against  the  Persians  in  this  strait,  B. 
C.  479.  Herod  the  Great  met  Marcus  Agrippa  in 
Samos,  and  olitained  many  privileges  for  the  Jews 
(Jos.  Ant.  xvi.  2,  2). 

SAMOTHRA'CIA  (Acts  xvi.  11).  Mentioned  in 
Paul's  first  voyage.  It  is  a  lofty  and  conspicuous

the  shore  at  Troas  {Eothen,  p.  64;  Homer,  II.  xiii. 
12,  13).  Paul  anchored  for  a  night  off  the  island. 
A  strong  current  from  the  Dardanelles  sets  south-

SAUCTIFICA'TION.  Sanctify  (kadash,  to  sanc- 
tify), (Gen.  ii.  ;5);  ((ir.  ha(/i<izo),  (Matt.  xxii.  17, 
19).  To  be  holy.  In  the  6.  T.  it  denotes  tlu;  con- 
secration of  a  person  to  (Jod  (Ex.  xxxi.  13).  To 
make  holy,  or  to  set  apart  for  (Jod  (Gen.  ii.  3;  Ex. 
xix.  23).  The  tabernacle,  altar,  priests,  etc.j  wei'e 
solemnly  set  apart  and  sanctified  for  divine  service 
(Lev.  vui.  10-12).  A  day  was  set  apart  for  fa.st- 
ing  and  prayer  (.Joel  i.  14),  and  the  Sal)bath  was 
so  regarded  (DtMit.  v.  12).  In  the  N.  T.  the  doc- 
trine is  the  making  truly  and  perfectly  holy  what 
was  before  defiled  and  sinful,  and  is  a  progressive 
work  of  divine  grace  upon  the  soul  justified  by  the 
love  of  Christ.  After  a  gradual  cleansing  from  sin 
the  sinner  is  presented  "unspotted  before  the 
throne  of  God,"  which  is  the  work  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  (John  xiv.  26,  xvii.  17).  The  ultimate  sauc- 
tification  of  every  beUever  in  Christ  is  a  covenant 
of  mercy,  purchased  on  the  cross.

SAR'OIS.  A  city  on  a  spur  of  the  mountain  range 
Tmolus,  about  2  ms.  from  the  river  Hermus,  the 
ancient  residence  of  the  kings  of  Lydia .  Its  original 
name,  in  the  time  of  Omphale,  was  Hyde'.  It  was 
naturally,  from  its  convenient  position  and  the  fer- 
tile region  surrounding  it,  a  commercial  mart  of 
importance.  Chestnuts  were  first  made  an  article 
of  commerce  here,  and  called  Nuts  of  Sardis. 
Pliny  says  the  art  of  dyeing  wool  was  invented 
here",  and  Phrygia  furnished  the  material  from  its 
vast  flocks.  The  carpets  of  Sardis 
were  very  celebrated.  The  Spartans 
sent  to  Sardis  for  gold  to  cover  the 
face  of  Apollo  at  Amyclse.  The  sands 
of  the  Pactolus,  a  brook  from  Tmolus 
running  near  Sardis,  furnished  the 
gold.  Sardis  was  a  slave  mart,  in 
very  early  times,  and  here  traders  first 
became  stationary,  as  distingiiished 
from  traveling  merchants.  It  was  taken  by  Antio- 
chus  the  Great,  B.  C.  214,  and  afterward  became 
subject  to  Pergamus. 

The  city  waned  after  the  conquest  of  Alex- 
ander. Tlie  inscriptions  remaining  now  visible  are 
all  of  the  Roman  age,  although  there  are  remains 
of  the  earlier  ages.  The  temple  of  Cybele  still 
bears  evidence  to  its  former  grandeur-  in  its  col- 
ximns,  two  of  which,  with  their  capitals,  "sur- 
pass any  specimen  of  the  Ionic  in  perfection  of 
design  and  execution."  There  are  remains  of  a 
theatre  of  400  ft.  diameter,  a,nd  of  a  stadium  of 
1000  ft.  The  modern  name  is  Sert  Kalessi,  and 
the  river  (Hermus)  Wadis-tchai,  which  is  about  180 
ft.  wide,  3  ft.  deep,  and  muddy.  In  the  time  of 
Tiberius,  the  city,  with  12  others,  was  destroyed  by 
an  earthquake,  and  suffered  so  much  that  its  dis- 
tress excited  the  compassion  of  its  Roman  rulers, 
who  remitted  its  tax  for  5  yrs.  Mentioned  in  Rev. 
iii.  1-6.    See  Seven  Churches.

merous, and  he  carried  his  victorious  arms  into 
many  coimtries.  A  statue  of  Sargon,  which  is  now 
in  tlie  Museum  of  Berlin,  was  discovered  at  Ida-

SAUL  (Heb.  shaul,  asked  for).  1.  Saul  of  Ee- 
hoboth  by  the  river  ;  one  of  the  early  kings  of 
Edom  (Gen.  xxxvi.  37,  38);  called  Shaul  in  1  Chr. 
i.  48. — 2.  Saul,  the  son  of  Kish,  of  the  tribe  of 
Benjamin;  he  was  the  first  king  of  Israel;  anointed 
by  Samuel  privately  (1  Sam.  ix.,  x.).  Afterwards 
Saul  was  elected  in  a  solemn  assembly  at  Mizpah 
by  the  determination  of  the  miraculous  lot.  Saul 
was  remarkably  tall,  and  of  a  courageous  disposi- 
tion (1  Sam.  ix.  2,  x.  23).  His  immediate  act  upon 
his  election,  was  to  head  an  army  and  oppose  the 
invasion  of  the  Ammonites.  He  found  them,  led 
by  their  king,  Nahash,  at  Bezek,  and  totally  routed 
them  (1  Sam.  xi.  11).  After  this  triumph  Saul  was 
publicly  anointed  at  Gilgal  by  Samuel  (1  Sam.  xii.). 
From  this  period  Saul's  reign  was  marked  by  a 
series  of  transgressions :  he  assumed  upon  the 
priestly  office  and  disregarded  God's  injunction  by 
ordering  the  offering  up  of  sacrifices  (1  Sam.  xiu. 
!•)  during  his  contest  with  the  Philistines.  He  re- 
belled against  Jehovah  in  regard  to  the  destruction 
of  the  Amalekites  (1  Sam.  xiv.  48).  Saul  behaved 
with  the  utmost  cruelty  to  David — twice  attempt- 
ing his  life  (1  Sam.  xviii.  10, 11,  xix.  10).  He  com- 
mitted a  great  atrocity  in  the  murder  of  Ahimelech, 
the  priest  (l.Sam.  xxii.),  and  of  eighty-five  other 
priests  of  the  house  of  Eli,  as  well  as  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Nob.  He  forced  David  into  opposition, 
who  twice  mercifully  spared  his  life  (1  Sam.  xxiv. 
3-7,  xxvi.). 

Saul  committed  a  further  offense  in  consulting 
the  witch  of  Endor  (1  Sam.  xxviii.  7),  although  he 
had  previously  expelled  all  practicers  of  magical 
arts  (xxviii.  3).  At  this  interview  he  was  warned 
that  he  and  his  sons  would  die  the  following  day. 
On  that  day  he  met  the  Philistines  in  Gilboa,  on 
the  plain  of  Esdraelon,  and  after  seeing  the  utter 
rout  of  his  army  and  the  death  of  his  tlin^e  sons 
(Jonathan  of  the  number),  he  killed  himself  upon 
the  battle-field.  The  bodies  of  Saul  and  his  sons 
were  exposed  by  the  enemy  upon  the  wall  of  Beth- 
shan,  but  were  secretly  removed  by  the  men  of 
Jabesh-Gilead  who  in  the  remembrance  of  their 
former  obligations  to  Saul  (1  Sam.  xi.),  gave  the 
bodies  honorable  burial.  Their  bones  were  after- 
wards removed  by  David  to  Zelah,  and  buried  in 
the  sepulchre  of  Kish.  Saul  was  anointed  B.  C. 
1791.

BAV'AEAN.  An  error  for  Avaran,  borne  by 
Eleazar  y  (i  -Mace.  vi.  •43). 

SAVI'AS.    l/.zi,  ancestor  of  Ezra  (1  Esd.  viii.  2). 

SA  VIOR  01  SAVIOUR.    See  Jesus. 

SAW  (Ileb.  MKGKUAU,  MAssou)-  Egyptian  saws 
were  siuiile-haniled,  the  teeth  usually  inclining  to- 
ward tlu;  luuulle,  instead  of  away  from  it  like  ours. 
In  most  cases  they  have  bronze  blades,  attached  to 
the  handles  by  leather  thongs,  but  some  of  those 
In  tlie  JJritish  Museum  have  their  blades  let  into 
them  like  our  knives.  A  double-handed  iron  saw 
has  been  found  at  Nimroud.  Doubh'-handed  saws 
were  used  (1  K.  vii.  9;  2  ^am.  xii.  1)1). 

SCALES.  Ileb.  pkles,  a  balaiux,  (Is.  xl.  12) ;  also 
weight  (Prov.  xvi.  11).    See  Weights  and  Meas- 

DRES. 

SCAPE -GOAT.    See  Atonement. 

SCAR  LET.     COLOKS. 

SCEP  TRE  (Ileb.  SHEBET,  Gr.  skeptron).  Rod 
or  SrAKF.  A  rod  or  decorated  stalf,  sometimes 
six  feet  long,  borne  by  kings  and  magistrates  as  a 
symbol  of  authority  ((Jen.  xlix.  10). 

SCE'VA  {prepared).  A  Jew  at  Ephesus  and 
leader  among  the  priests  (Acts  xix.  14,  KJ).  His 
seven  sons  ])retended  to  practice  exorcism. 

SCHIN  (Ileb.  SHIN,  a  tooth).  The  twenty-first 
letter  of  the  Hebrew  alphabet  (Ps.  cxix.). 

SCHISM  (Gr.  schisma) .  Division  (1  Cor.  i.  10; 
rent,  Matt.  ix.  16).  A  rent  or  fissure,  used  in  the 
N.  T.  to  denote  a  division  in  the  Church,  by  con- 
tentions. 

SCHOOL  (Gr.  schole,  leisure),  (Acts  xix.  9).  A 
place  where  a  teacher  and  his  disciples  met  and 
held  discussions.    See  Education. 

The  Arab  school  is  i^rimitive — a  room  with  a 
smootli  tioor  (often  the  bare  ground)  and  one  ov 
two  windows  (generally  without  glass  or  any  pro- 
tection), a  board  and  piece  of  chalk  for  each  boy, 
and  one  for  the  teacher.  The  teacher  also  has  a 
Koran  from  which  he  reads.  The  pupils  learn  to 
write  by  imitating  the  writing  of  their  teacher. 
They  spell  by  reciting  the  names  of  the  letters  as 

(n)   NOON,    (a)    ALIF,    (g)    GAMEL,    NAG    (a  Colt). 

The  rules  of  the  Church  are  carefully  taught,  also 
gi'ammar.  Very  few  go  beyond  this  in  the  schools. 
Those  who  are  destined  to  the  Church  are  educated 
specially  for  that  end;  and  study  theology,  rhe- 
toric, numbers,  and  other  branches.  Some  of  the 
priests  (ulema)  are  very  well  educated,  and  have 
a  good  knowledge  of  their  own  and  the  literature 
of  other  peoi)le.  Robert  Morris,  LL.  D.,  in  18(i8, 
found  the  Pasha  of  Damascus  able  to  converse  in 
French  and  English,  and  to  (luote  long  passages 
from  such  poets  as  Shakespeare,  Milton,  Byron 
Longfellow,  Bryant,  and  to  give  a  sketch  of  our 
history  as  a  people — in  the  L^nited  States.  On 
geography  he  was  not  so  well  informed.  The 
native  maps  are  more  amusing  than  instructive. 

Every  mosque  must  support  one  or  more  schools, 
according  to  its  income.  The  best  schools  are  now 
being  conducted  in  a  few  places  by  the  American 
missionaries;  the  principal  one  being  the  Seminary 
at  Beirut.    See  Phobnicia. 

SCI'ENCE  (L.  scuntia,  knowledge;  Heb.  madda; 
Gr.  gno»i<i).  In  Dan.  i.  4,  and  1  Tim.  vi.  20,  tlie 
original  means  knowledge  and  not  science. 

In  Wickliffe's  Bible,  in  Luke  i.  77,  there  is  the 
sentence  "science  of  health,"  instead  of  "know- 
ledge of  salvation,"  in  the  present  edition.  In  Col. 
ii.  3,  is  " wisdom  and  science  "  for  "wisdom  and 
knowledge,"  as  now  written,  and  in  1  Tim.  vi.  20, 
for  science  the  old  edition  has  "knnyinge"  (cun- 
ning).   See  Timothy,  in  History  op  the  Books. 

SeOR'PION  (Heb.  akrab;  Gr.  skorpm).  One  of 
the  largest  and  most  malignant  of  all  the  insect 
tribes.  It  resembles  the  lobster.  Those  found  in 
S.  Europe  seldom  exceed  2  ins.  in  length,  but,  in 
tropical  climates,  they  are  10  or  12.    They  live  upon 


other  insects,  but  kill  and  devour  their  own  specie:? 
also.  When  it  is  placed  in  danger,  and  sees  no  way 
of  escape,  it  will  sting  itself  to  death.  Their  sting 
IS  very  ])oisonous;  it  occasions  great  pain  and  iu- 
Uammation,  with  alternate  chills  and  burning.  The 
scorpion  of  Jud.ea  when  curled  up  resemWes  an 
egg  ;  hence  the  comparison  in  Luke  xi.  11, 12;  Kev. 
ix.  a-10. 


SCOURG'ING.    See  Punishments. 

SCRIBE.    See  History  op  the  Books. 

SCRIP  (Heb.  YALKUT— ziKLON ;  Gr.  nera).  A 
bag  or  sack,  in  which  travelers  carried  tueir  food, 
or  articles  of  convenience  (1  K.  xvii.  40;  Matt.  x. 
10). 

SCRIP 'TTJRE.    See  History  op  the  Books. 

SCE.OLL  (Heb.  sepher;  Gr.  biblion,).  MS.  roll.

SCUR'VY.  The  diseases  rendered  "scab"  and 
"scurvy,"  in  Lev.  xxi.  20,  xxii.  22,  and  Deut. 
xxviii.  27,  may  be  almost  any  skin-disease. 

SCYTHE.    See  Sickle  (Jer.  i.  16). 

SCYTHIAN  (Col.  iii.  11).  Barbarians,  living  on 
the  N.  of  the  Black  Sea  and  the  Caspian.  Herodo- 
tus (i.  103)  says  the  Scythians  nuvde  an  incursion 
through  Palestine,  into  Egypt,  in  the  time  of  Jo- 
siah.  This  may  accou-nt  for  the  name  ScythopolLt, 
which  may  have  been  given  by  some  of  those  peo- 
ple who  Settled  at  Bethshean. 

SEA.  This  word  is  used  in  several  ways :  1. 
Ocean  (Gen.  i.  10). — 2.  The  Mediten-anean  Sea 
(Deut.  xi.  24). — ^3.  Any  inland  lake  or  sea  (Ez. 
xlvii.  8).— 4.  Any  great  water-course,  as  the  Nile 
or  Euphrates  (Is.  xix.  5). 

SALT  SEA,  THE.  The  most  ancient  name  for 
the  Dead  Sea  (Gen.  xiv.  3;  Num.  xxxiv.  3;  Deut. 
iii.  17;  Josh.  iii.  10).  It  is  called  the  Sea  of  the 
Arabali  (plnin)  in  Deut.  iii.  17,  and  the  East  Sea 
by  Joel  (li.  20),  Ezekiel  (xlvii.  18),  and  by  Zecha- 
riah  (xiv.  8).  In  2  Esd.  (v.  7)  it  is  called  the  So- 
domitish  Sea.  Josephus  calls  it  Lake  Asphaltitis. 
The  name  Dead  Sea  was  given  by  the  (Greeks 
(Pausanias,  v.  7,  and  Galen,  iv.  9) ;  and  by  tlie  La- 
tins (Justin,  xxxiv.  3).  The  Arabic  name  is  Bahr 
Lnt  (Sea  of  Lot).  The  Dead  Sea  is  the  3d  of  the 
lakes  in  the  course  of  the  Jordan,  lying  deepest  in 
the  valley  at  its  S.  end.  It  is  46  ins.  long  from  N. 
to  S.,  and  10  nis.  wide,  and  its  surface  is  1317  ft. 
below  the  ocean  level  (Lynch).  The  depression 
was  first  noticed  (in  our  day)  in  1837.  The  great 
heat  of  th(!  region  carries  off  the  water  by  evapora- 
tion. The  Jordan  flows  into  the  N.  end.  12  ms. 
(by  the  ]jath)  down  the  E.  shore  there  enters  the 
Zurka  Main  (the  ancient  Callirrhoe— the  En  Eg- 
laim),  and,  8  ms.  further  down  the  shore,  the  Mo- 
jib  (Arnon);  10  ms.  further,  the  Beni  Hamad;  2 
ms.  beyond  this,  the  Wady  Kerak  entering,  bv  sev- 
eral channels,  just  above  the  peninsula  ;  and  just 
below  it,  in  the  lower  bay  of  the  lake,  there  are  10 
or  12  streams,  large  and  small :  the  largest  being

the  Wady  el  Jeib,  which  drains  %ds  of  the  Arabah. 
On  tlie  W.  side,  tlie  first  large  stream  is  tlie  Kedron 
(Wady  el  Nar),  5  to  6  ms.  from  the  N.  end  of  the 
lake;  h  ms.  fm-ther  S.  is  Wady  Kliiireitum ;  5  ms. 
beyond  is  Wady  Sudeir,  at  Ain  Jidy  (Engedi);  2 
ms.  from  this,  Wady  Areyeh,  which,  near  llebron, 
is  called  Wady  Dibbch;  and  beyond,  at  intervals  of 
3  or  4  ms.,  are,  Biiket  Ilalil  (Klmberah),  Wady 
Seiyal,  and  Wady  en  Nemriyeh,  which  last  flows 
by  the  N.  side  of  the  rock  Masada,  and  Wady  Zu- 
weirah,  just  N.  of  the  salt  mountain  of  Usdum. 
Besides  these,  there  are  a  great  number  of  smaller 
streams  all  around  the  sea,  with  or  without  names. 
There  is  no  visible  outlet.  The  sea  is  divided  into  2 
parts  by  the  peninsula  of  Lisan  (tongue,  Ileb.  i.a- 
shen)  ,  which  is  about  9  ms.  long,  from  N".  E.  to  S. 
W.,  4  to  6  ms.  wide,  and  joined  to  the  E.  shore  by 
a  neck  5  ms.  wide.  The  channel  of  the  sea  is  3  to 
5  ms.  wide  opposite  the  Lisan,  and  is  said  to  be 
fordable  at  the  time  of  the  lov/est  water,  in  Octo- 
ber. The  water  of  the  main  basin  is  1300  ft.  deep 
in  the  deepest  part,  opposite  Ain  Tera,beh.  The  S. 
bay  (Josh.  xv.  2)  is  very  shallow,  varying  from  12 
to  3  ft.  Careful  observations  have  found  that  20 
million  cubic  ft.  of  water  are  poured,  daily,  into  the 
sea,  while  its  evaporating  capacity  is  24  million  in  the 
hottest  months,  and  less  than  20  in  the  rainy  sea- 
son. (See  Humboldt).  It  is  believed  that  the  level 
rises  10  to  15  ft.  during  the  winter  rains — falling 
again  during  the  summer. 


SEAL  OP  EGYPTIAN  AND  ASSYRIAN  KINGS. 

The  mountains  come  close  to  the  shore  on  both 
the  east  and  west  sides,  and  are  quite  uniform  in 
hight  throughout  tlie  whole  length,  the  eastern 
range  beiiig  much  tlie  higher,  and  more  broken  by 
ravines.  The  general  color  is  brown  or  reildish 
brown  on  the  east  (being  sandstone,  red  and  yel- 
low, with  ijorphyry),  and  gray,  with  whitish  tints, 
on  the  west  side  (being  limestone  over  sandstone). 
The  only  vegetation  is  found  around  the  springs, 
and  in  the  wadies,  where  palms,  tamarisks,  numo- 
sa,  osiers,  oleanders,  and  a  variety  of  trees  and 
shrubs,  besides  grain  and  ilowers,  form  a  grateful 
relief  to  the  general  desolation.  A  plateau  divides 
the  mountains  on  the  east  side,  half  way  up,  ex- 
tendhig  from  the  head  of  the  sea  south  as  far  as 
i\ni  Zurka  Main,  which  is  visible,  near  sunset, 
from  Jerusalem.  The  western  side  is  divided  into 
several  strata,  which  are  quite  distinct;  and  there 
aTe  three  parallel  beaches,  one  above  the  other — 
the  highest,  50  feet  above  the  water,  extending 
ft'om  Wddi/  Zuweirah  north  to  Ain  Jidy,  nearly  20 
miles.  A'bove  Ain  Jidy  there  is  but  one  beach 
(covered  with  angular  bits  of  flint,  not  rounded 
gravel),  which  skirts  the  mountains,  being  widest 
at  the  mouths  of  tlu^  largest  brooks,  as  at  the  Kid- 
ron  (  Wady  Nut)  and  Ain  Tembeh,  where  it  is 
more  tlian  half  a  mile  wide.  Many  of  the  head- 
lands come  down  steep  into  the  water,  cutting  the 
beach  in  two,  and  therefore  cannot  be  passed,  ex- 
cept by  climbing.  There  is  a  line  of  driftwood 
bordering  the  beach  and  marking  the  high-water 
line,  all  around  the  sea,  brought  down  by  the  Jor- 
dan and  other  streams,  gray  and  bleached,  and 
some  of  it  of  great  antiquity.    On  the  west  shore 


of  the  south  bay  is  the  Salt  Mountain  of  Sodom, 
called  by  the  Arabs  Khas/n  Usdum.  (See  Geolo- 
gy). There  is  an  island  in  the  sea,  west  of  the 
Jordan,  lying  300  feet  from  the  shore  at  low  water, 
circular  and  400  feet  in  diameter.  Stones  and  drift- 
wood entirely  cover  the  island.  Some  suppose  the 
square  stones  found  here  are  remains  of  ancient 
structures,  because  there  are  no  similar  stones  on 
the  shore.  The  ]ilains  at  the  north  and  south  ends 
of  the  sea  are  flat,  barren,  stony,  gently  sloping  up 
from  the  water,  crusted  with  salt,  soft  and  slimy 
to  the  foot,  and  destitute  of  vegetation,  except 
a  few  reeds  cluster  round  a  spring.  The  eastern 
side  of  the  south  bay  is  an  exception,  where  the 
vegetation,  fed  by  copious  streams  of  sweet  water, 
is  abundant,  and  with  great  variety  of  trees, 
plants,  flowers  and  grasses. 

The  water  of  the  sea  is  the  heaviest  known  in 
all  the  world,  being  12}/4  lbs.  to  the  gallon,  distilled 
water  weighing  9%  lbs.  This  weiglit  is  due  to  the 
mineral  salts  held  in  solution.  Eggs  float  with 
one-tliird  exposed  above  the  surface.  The  color  is 
like  the  ocean,  a  greenish  blue.  The  Jordan  may 
be  traced  for  several  miles  by  its  muddy  color,  as 
it  flows  into  the  clear  water  of  the  sea. 

The  analysis  of  the  water  of  the  Dead  Sea  by 
many  scientific  men,  gives  generally  the  same  re- 
sult,"with  but  little  variation,  which  is,  that  there 
are  salts  of  magnesia,  soda,  lime,  potass,  manga- 
nese, ammonia,  aluminum  and  iron;  and  of  these 
there  are  chlorides,  sulphates  and  bromides.  The 
quantity  averages  from  13  to  26  parts  in  100,  ac- 
cording to  the  season  of  the  year  and  the  part  of 
the  sea  from  which  the  sample  was  taken. 

Except  the  absence  of  vegetation,  the  appear- 
ance of  the  sea  is  that  of  savage  and  beautiful 
wildn(>ss.  The  presence  of  many  kinds  of  birds 
and  wild  fowl  enlivens  the  scenes.  All  along  the 
shores,  wherever  a  brook  flows  in,  there  the  cane- 
brakes,  trees  and  shrubs  harbor  partridges,  snipe, 
ducks,  doves,  hawks,  larks,  quails,  besides  many 
kinds  not  yet  named,  or  not  identified,  in  great 
flocks.  Frogs  are  also  to  be  seen  in  the  marshes 
(not  the  salt  inarshes)  and  hares  in  the  thickets. 

There  has  been  no  change  in  the  size  of  the  sea 
within  the  historic  period;  except  the  filling  up  of 
the  south  bay  by  silt  from  the  rivers,  and  the  de- 
struction of  the  Cities  of  the  Plain  is  believed  to 
have  been  independent  of  the  position  or  charac- 
ter of  the  sea,  or  the  bed  in  which  it  Ues.  (Sec* 
SoDOii  and  Geology). 

SEAL  (Heb.  hotham;  Gr.  sphragis).  The  seal 
takes  the  place  of  our  signature  in  the  East.  A 
name  or  device,  well  known  as  belonging  to  a 
certain  person,  was  engraved  on  a  seal  of  a  ring, 
or  on  a  small  cylinder,  and  this  was  stamped  on 
the  papyrus,  or  parchment,  with  ink,  or  was 
jiressed  on  a  piece  of  clay,  or  wax,  which  was 
attached  to  the  document.  Many  seals  and  cylin- 
ders of  this  kind  have  been  ftmnd  among  the 
used  by  the  ancient 
kings  in  signing  or 
■witnessing  their  trea- 
ties or  decrees,  and 
there  is  a  piece  of 
clay  bearing  the  im- 
pression of  both  the  «a«>''aue  ring.

SENNACH'ERIB  (Heb.  tsin - akki - ipaB,  the 
moon  i) it: reuses,  brothers).  King  of  Assyria.  He 
mounted  the  throne  B.  C.  702.  In  the  fourteenth 
year  of  Hezekiah  he  attacked  the  fenced  cities  of 
Judah,  and  took  them  (2  K.  xviii.  13-16)  after 
having  successfully  made  various  war  expeditions. 
He  attacked  Bal)ylon  B.  C.  699,  and  then  made  a 
second  invasion  into  Palestine.  Hezekiah  had 
sought  the  protection  of  Egypt,  upon  which  Sen- 
nacherib marched  into  Egypt  and  sent  proposals 
to  Hezekiah  (2  K.  ix.  7).  Hezekiah  not  submit- 
ting, caused  the  king  of  Assyria  to  send  him  a

ploits, and  refer  to  the  Hebrew  nation  as  fallen 
from  its  proud  station  in  the  time  of  David  and 
Solomon.  The  vessels  drawn  on  the  walls  as  tro- 
Ijhies  are  of  fine  design,  and  it  seems  probable  that 
they  were  from  the  Temple.  The  bas-relief  on  the 
rocks  at  Nahvel  Kelb  (Dog  Kiver),  X.  of  Beirut, 
shows  the  king  in  the  midst  of  six  other  kings,  with 
a  long  inscription,  in  wedge-shaped  characters,  re- 
cording his  exploits  in  Svi'ia  and  Phoenicia.  There 
are,  also,  inscriptions  in  Persian,  (Treek,  Latin,  and 
Arabic.  On  the  monuments  the  amount  of  the 
tribute  (2K.  xviii.  1.3-16),  is  stated  differently  from 
the  amount  in  Kings;  giving  80(i  talents  of  silver 
for  tlie  300  talents  in  Kings!^  The  probability  is, 
that  800  talents  was  tlie  value  of  the  whole  tribute, 
including  the  gold.  There  is  in  tlie  British  Musuem 
a  clay  impression  from  tliis  king's  seal.  His  attack 
on  Lachish  (see  Lachish)  is,  also,  recorded  in  pic- 
tures and  inscriptions.  (See  p.  175).  The  iii.  iv.  and 
v.  chapters  of  Isaiah,  are  most  wonderfully  fulfilled 
on  the  Assyrian  monuments;  wliere  Jews  appear 
as  doing  the  work  of  horses,  drawing  the  king's 
chariot,  or  carts  and  boats,  load(^d  with  sculptures.

SEK'PENT  (Heb.  nahash,  any  serpent, 

but  especially  the  cobra).    The  serpent 

is    alluded   to  in  many  passages   in   the 

Bible,  and  nearly  always  for  its    tj^pical 

([ualities,  or  habits,  as  intensifying  similar 

things  in  the  human  family.    Satan  is  called  "The 

Old  Serpent"  (Rev.  xii.  9;  2  Cor.  xi.  1).    See  Ad- 
der, zahal,  tannin,  sarap;  Gr.  herpetoii,  ophis. 

epheh,  (Am"?-)-    A  poisonous  snake,  about  a  foot 

long,  called,  by  the  Arabs,  el  effah  (Gr.  echidna). 

The  viper  that  fastened  on  Paul's  hand,  in  Malta 

(Acts  xxviii.  3),  and  was  either  the  common  viper 

(pelias  veras),  or  the  vipern  o,"?;)?^— both  found  in 

the  island.    The  Scriptural  allusions  are :    To  its 

subtilty  (Gen.  iii.  1);  wisdom  (Matt.  x.  16):  poison 

(Ps.  Iviii.  4;  Prov.  xxiii.  32);  its  forked,  sharp, 

tongue  (Ps.  cxl.  3;  Job.  xx.  16);  the  bite  (Num. 

xxi.  9);  sly  concealment,  in  hedges  (Eccl.  x.  8),  in 

holes  (Amos  v.  19);  living  in  dry,  sandy  places 

(Deut.  viii.  15);  crawling  (Prov.  xxx.  19);  their 

birth  ahve  (Is.  lix.  5— "cockatrice").    The  art  of 

taming,  or  charming,  is  of  great  antiquity,  and  is 

alluded  to  in  the  P.salms  Iviii.  6;  Eccles.  x.  11;  Jer. 

viii.  17,  and,  perhaps,  James  iil.  7.     The  Orientals 

believe  the  serpent  to  have  a  large  share  of  sagac- 
ity, and  they  cite  various  reasons  for  it.    They 

have,  in  all  ages,  been  used  as  emblems  of  cunning 

and  craftiness.    There  are  two  erroneous  notions 


HIPPOPOTAMUS. 

fenius,  of  superior  wisdom  and  power.  The 
Igyptians  used  its  form  to  represent  Knef,  the 
author  of  all  good,  and  also  the  god  Ttphon, 
the  author  of  all  physical  and  moral  evil;  and  in 
their  symbolical  alphabet  the  serpent  stood  for 
subtility,  cunning,  lust,  sensual  pleasure.  The 
serpent  coiled  around  a  globe,  winged,  is  a  familiar 
emblem  of  eternity. 

The  Greeks  used  it  as  a  sign  of  certain  attri- 
butes in  Ceres,  Mercury,  ^sculapius,  in  their  best 
qualities,  and  in  the  terrible  Furies,  and  the  fear- 
ful monster,  the  Python,  which  was  only  destroyed 
by  Apollo's  arrows;  and  also  as  the  legs  of  the  im- 
pious giants  who  despise  and  blaspheme  the  power 
of  heaven.    See  Abraxas  Gem,  p.  167. 

In  Hindo  mythology  Kri.'^hna  (the  good  spirit) 
contends  with  a  serpent,  and  finally  crushes  his 
head. 

The  fiery  serpents  of  Num.  xxi.  6,  8,  were  so 
named  from  the  burning  sensation  caused  by  their 
bite,  or  it  may  possibly  also  refer  to  their  brilliant 
color.    There  is  a  small  black  snake,  spotted  with

The  Egyptians  painted  and  sculptured  mon- 
strous serpents  with  wings,  which  may  have  been 
idealized  from  lizards. 

Brazen  Serpent.  The  scene  of  the  events 
was  either  Zalmonah  or  Punon;  Zalmonah  mean- 
ing the  image's  position,  and  Punon  the  origin  of 
the  material  from  which  it  was  made,  Punon  the 
copper  mines. 

To  some  critics  the  brazen  serpent  is  only  the  sign 
of  the  camp  hospital — it  really  was  the  sign  of  the 
Great  Physician.  The  serpent  rod  of  JEsculapius 
was  also  a  symbol  of  the  supposed  healing  power 
of  the  god.  It  is  difficult  to  account  for  the  making 
of  the  image  of  the  serpent,  in  the  face  of  the 
2d  commandment;  and  yet  it  was  probably  made 
by  the  appointed  artizan  of  the  Tabernacle,  Beza- 
leel  or  Aholiab.  That  it  was  a  type  of  Christ  does 
not  explain  how  it  acted  as  a  healer  at  the  time, 
because  the  faith  in  the  Messiah  never  became  a 
present  reality,  but  was  rather  a  future  good  to  be 
expected.  It  has  been  interpreted  as  a  symbol  of 
-wisdom,  which  left  to  itself  leads  the  soul  astray, 
but  when  guided  by  divine  law,  is  the  source  of  all 
healing,  the  serpent  form  would,  in  that  light,  be 
the  symbol  of  health  and  deliverance. 

The  rod  of  IMoses,  that  turned  to  a  serpent,  was 
a  symbol  to  him  of  divine  wisdom. 

The  brazen  serpent  was  kept  a  long  time  after 
its  proper  vrork  was  done,  and  became  an  object  of 
idolatry,  in  the  reign  of  Hezekiah,  who  destroyed 
it  (Nehushtan). 

The  Church  of  St.  Ambrose,  Milan,  has  boasted 
of  having  the  identical  brazen  image  which  Moses 
had  made  in  the  Wilderness,  and  which  Hezekiah 
destroyed.  It  was  probably  the  object  of  worship 
of  some  ancient  serpent  worshipiTs.    Ophites. 


SERPENT  CHAEMING.  From  the  earliest  times 
in  the  East  certain  persons  have  exercised  a  re- 
markable power  over  poisonous  snakes,  and  this  is 
noticed  in  James  iii.  7.  The  horned  cerastes,  and 
the  hooded  snakes  are  the  kinds  usually  handled. 
They  do  not  always  take  out  the  poison  fangs. 
The  secret  of  the  power  seems  to  be  the  simple 
courage  and  confidence  of  the  men.  They  use 
shrill  flutes  and  drums,  which  seem  to  attract  the 
attention  of  the  serpents.

rendered  servant,  sometimes  man-servant  (Gen. 
ix.  25-27).  This  word  often  denotes  a  man  who 
dedicates  himself  voluntarily  to  the  service  of 
another.  Thus,  Joshua  was  the  servant  of  Moses. 
The  servants  of  God  are  those  who  are  devoted  to 
His  service.  The  word  usually  means  in  the  Bible 
a  hired  servant,  or  one  whose  service  was  the 
property  of  his  master.  The  households  of  the 
early  patriarchs  contained  many  servants,  who 
were  treated  with  kindness,  justice,  and  they  were 
trusted  and  confided  in  (Gen.  xiv.  11-16).  They 
shared  the  religious  privileges  of  the  family  (Gen. 
xvii.  9-13),  and  were  not  transferred  to  other 
masters.

SEVEN  CHURCHES  OF  ASIA  (Rev.  i.  4).  1. 
Eph'esus  was  originally  called  Smyrna ;  and  the 
orator  Callinus,  in  an  address  to  Jupiter,  called 
the  people  Smyrnteans  (Strabo  xiv.  1,  4).  Scat- 
tered over  the  site  of  Ephesus  are  now  only  heaps 
of  shapeless  ruins.  The  great  Greek  temples,  in 
Athens,  have  come  down  to  us  so  well  preserved, 
although  mutilated  and  ruined,  that  they  are  the 
admiration  of  the  civilized  world.  But  here,  at 
the  site  of  the  temple  which  was  the  pride  of  all 
Asia,  and  one  of  the  wonders  of  the  world,  we  look 
in  vain  for  even  a  relic  of  the 
multitude  of  colunnis;  for 
they  have  been  ' '  removed, ' ' 
as  well  as  the  Cliristian 
Church.  The  most  probable 
site  is  supposed  to  be  that  on 
which  the  artist  stood  to 
sketch  for  this  picture,  where 
the  swamp  fills  the  s])aces 
among  the  piles  of  crumbling 
stones.  The  proudest  title 
of  an  Ephesian  was  "  a  tem- 
ple-sweeper" of  the  goddess 
Diana  (neokokos  on  the 
coins) .  The  temple  itself  has 
been  swept  away.  Its  decay 
began  in  the  3d  century, 
when  Trajan  sent  the  gates 
to  Constantinople. 

The  Diana-worship  was  a 
mass  of  Oriental  supersti- 
tions, weaving  into  itself 
magic,  charms,  amulets  and 
the  ipretense  of  special 
miracles.  The  image  of 
the  tutelary  divinity  was  of  a  great  hight,  carved 
in  ebony  wood,  representing  a  woman  with  a  great 
many  full  breasts,  ending  below  in  a  pedestal 
ornamented  with  figures  ot  lions,  cows  and  stags; 
the  whole  decorated  with  gold  and  silver.  The 
head  was  turreted,  like  that  of  Cybele  (see  page 
130);  the  moon  was  symbolized  behind  the  head; 
on  her  bosom  were  the  Zodiacal  signs  of  the  bulls, 
twins  and  crab,  with  two  garlands  below  them  of 
flowers  and  acorns.  Her  priests  were  women  and 
eunuchs  (Mt'lmai  and  Mer/abyzi) ,  with  a  high-priest 
(Esseen).  There  were  ho  bloody  sacrifices.  Its 
image  was  copied  for  use  in  private  families,  where 
it  was  more  honored  than  any  other,  being  carrietl 
into  distant  places.  Games  were  celebrated  at  re- 
gular intervals  in  honor  of  the  goddess,  esi)ecially 
m  May  (the  month  of  Diana),  which  attracted  vast

The  theatre  of  Ephesus  is  the  only  relic  that  is 
preserved  so  as  to  be  recognizable.  It  is  one  of  the 
hir>'est  in  the  world,  ranking  with  the  Coliseum  of 
Koine  and  the  theatre  of  El  Diem,  in  Africa. 

In  18(W,  J.  T.  Wood  found  what  is  supposed  to  be 
the  monument  (or  part  of  it)  of  the  tomb  of  Luke, 
on  which  there  is  a  cross  and  a  bull  linely  chiseled. 

About  two  miles  N.  of  Ephesus,  in  Aisalik,  is 
the  great  nioscpu-,  which  was  once  the  Church  of 
St.  John  (rebuilt,  on  its  ciriginal  site,  by  Justinian) ; 
a  peculiar  building,  liaving  in  it  many  carved 
marble  slabs,  with  .Vrabic  inscriptions,  and  lour 
monolith  granite  columns,  each  four  feet  in  diame- 
ter, which  are  supposed  to  have  been  in  Diana's 
temple.     (See  Ei'hksus). 

2.  Smyu'na,  the  sec(md  of  the  "seven,"  is,  un- 
like Ephesus,  but  once  mentioned  in  the  Scriptures; 
and  yet  that  was  an  honorable  position  which  was 

fiveil  it  in  the  apocalyptic  message  (Kev.  ii.  «-ll). 
t  rejoiced  in  the  proud  title,  "The  Ornament  of 


temples  generally  built  into  walls  as  raw  material. 
The  citadel  on  tiie  hight  b«'hiiid  tlif  town  (Mt. 
Pagus),  is  built  of  the  ruins  of  the  anciciit  struc- 
ture, whose  massivi'  foundations  may  still  be 
traced.  The  theatre,  in  which  Tolycarp  (who 
was  bishop  over  the  Church  for  seventy-four 
years),  was  burnt,  was  on  the  brow  of  the  hill  to- 
ward the  sea  ;  and  it  has  almost  entirely  disap- 
peared, exceiit  a  few  seats  and  the  dens  in  which 
tlu'  wild  Ix'asts  were  kejit.  The  ancient  port  was 
filled  up  by  Taimour-Lang  during  his  siege  (A.  D. 
1400).  The  modern  bay  or  harbor  is  about  IW  ms. 
long,  15  ms.  wide,  and  sheltered  by  high,  steep, 
wooded  hills  on  three  sides;  and  the  water  is  deep 
to  the  very  shores,  so  that  vessels  may  lie  close  to 
receive  or  discharge  their  cargoes.  The  "Two

Asia."  The  great  prosperity  of  the  ancient  city 
was  the  result  of  its  policy  "in  following  the  for- 
tunes and  securing  the  favor  of  each  conqueror,  in 
turn,  who  overran  Asia.  This  was  the  reason  why 
the v  gave  to  Autiochus  tlie  title ' '  (^od  and  Saviour, ' ' 
anci  to  his  mother  that  of  "Venus  of  Victory," 
and  worshiped  Tiberius,  and  stamped  the  hcaA  of 
Mithridates  on  their  coins,  and  erected  temples  in 
honor  of  deified  Rome.  But  the  peculiar  worship 
of  the  city  was  of  the  god  Bacchus,  the  mysteri(>s 
of  which  were  solemnized  with  great  pomp.  Apollo 
was  also  honored;  and  there  is  a  colo-ssal  head,  in 
marble,  now  near  the  western  gate  of  the  city, 
which  once  crowned  a  statue  of  the  god.  The 
walls  of  the  buildings  in  the  upper  part  of  the  city 
are  filled  with  fragments  of  columns,  cornices,  en- 
tablatures, and  even  busts,  some  of  which  were 
portraits  of  men  or  the  ideals  of  the  gods,  built  in 
with  the  common  stone  as  so  much  rough  material. 
The  Turks  have  mutilated  the  features  of  these 
busts  because  of  their  hatred  of  images.  It  has 
been  well  said  that  the  Moslem  horror  of  all  repre- 
sentations of  the  human  form  as  idolatrous,  has 
destroyed  more  Grecian  statues  than  are  now 
known  to  exist.  There  are  many  remains  of  the 
beautiful   tesselated   pavements  of    the   ancient

chants and  the  wealthy  classes,  whose  fine  gardens,

Bible  among  both  the  Greeks  and  Armenians.  .'J 
lines  of  railway  have  been  built:  1  leading  to 
Ephesus  and  Tralles  (Aidin),  80  ms.;  and  another

the  siiburb  of  Bournabat,  6  ms.,  where  there  are 
many  country-houses,  which  are  also  scattered 
along  the  sea-coast,  N.  W.  and  S.  Not  far  from 
Smyrna,  at  Kara  Bell,  ^s  the  sculpture  mentioned 
by  ilerodotu>i  (ii.  lOG),  cut  in  a  panel  in  the  Ume-

ing  a  spear  in  the  left  hand,  and  a  bow  in  tho  right,

and  firmness,  in  the  midst  of  persecutions,  in  a  city 
so  eminently  given  to  idolatry.  It  was  the  capital 
of  a  district  of  the  same  name,  in  Mysia,  on  the 
river  Caicus,  20  ms.  from  the  sea,  and  60  from 
Smyrna.  Its  origin  is  lost  in  antiquity,  dating 
beyond  the  Trojan  war,  when  Pergamos,  son  of 
Pyrrhus,  found  King  Arius  here,  and  deposed  him. 
The  city  was  built  on  the  lower  slopes  of  two  high 
and  steep  mountains.  Eumenes  founded  the  race 
of  the  Attahan  kings  of  Pergamos,  200  yrs.  B.  C; 
and  his  successors  formed  a  large  library,  which 
rivaled  the  Alexandrian,  besides"  making  the  city 
the  equal  of,  or  superior  in  importance  to,  all  others 
in  Asia  Minor.  Sheep  and  goat-skins  were  here 
first  made  into  parchment  {pergmnena) ,  and  it  is 
still  the  chief  manufacture  of  the  city.  The  library 
was  removed  to  Alexandria  by  Cleopatra,  to  whom 
Antony  gave  the  permission.  The  ruins  of  temples, 
a  theatre,  stadium,  amphitheatre,  and  other  build- 
ings, are  scattered  over  the  ancient  site.  The  great 
glory  of  the  city  was  the  grove  Nicephorium — said 
to  have  been  extremely  beautiful — containing  tem- 
ples and  statues  of  all  the  deities :  Zeus,  Athena 
(Minerva),  Apollo,  ^sculapitjs  (its  tuttlary  dei- 


ty), Dionysius,  and  Aphrodite.  Pergamos  had  no 
rival  in  splendor,  being  a  union  of  a  cathedral  city, 
a  university  town,  and  a  royal  residence.  The  Ro- 
man Senate  recognized  the  right  of  sanctuary  in 
the  Grove  of  ^sculapius,  which  (with  the  others) 
was  irrigated  by  many  canals  from  the  Caicus,  and 
made  very  luxuriant  in  shade  and  fruit  trees.  It 
is  called  JSfeokora  (JYew  City)  on  the  coins.  This 
was  probably  the  ' '  throne  of  Satan, ' '  referred  to  by 
John  (Rev.  ii.  13) ;  the  idea  having  arisen  from  the 
title  of  Sotcr,  which  was  given  to  ^sculapius  on 
account  of  the  serj)ent  being  his  chief  emblem 
(found  on  several  coins  of  Pergamos),  and  also 
because  charms  and  magic  were  a  part  of  the  wor- 
ship. Nearly  all  of  the  pagan  temples,  and  Chris- 
tian churches  (some  of  which  were  remodeled  tem- 
ples), are  heaped  alike  in  ruins.  Their  columns, 
capitals,  cornices,  and  sculptures,  of  fine  marble, 
have  been  carried  away  to  rebuild  other  places,  or 
burned  into  lime  for  mortar,  or  lie  in  heaps  waiting 
such  an  inglorious  end.  The  church  of  St.  John 
(anciently  a  temple)  is  roofless,  but  still  stand- 
ing; and  that  of  St.  Sophia  is  remodeled  into  a 
mosque.  The  Acropolis  (see  cut  on  page  22) 
was  the  site  of  the  temple  of  Minerva,  built  on  an 
artificial  platform,  raised  like  that  of  Solomon's  at 
Jerusalem.  Some  of  the  beautiful  white-marble 
columns  of  this  temple  measure  4  ft.  in  diameter, 
and  40  feet  long,  as  they  lie  prostrate.  Half-way- 
down  the  hill  was  the  palace  of  the  Attalian  kings. 


connected  with  the  town  by  an  aqueduct,  which 
now  crosses  the  river  on  its  ancient  and  perfect 
masonry,  the  river  Selinus  passing  under  it  through 
a  double  tunnel,  600  ft.  long,  each  arch  being  40  It. 
wide  and  20  high.  Besides  this  work  there  are  5 
ancient  bridges.  There  are  very  perfect  remains 
of  theatres,  and  a  vast  Roman  amphitheatre,  in 
which  Antipas  was  made  the  first  martyi'  of  Perga- 
mos, followed  by  a  long  line.  The  present  popu- 
lation of  Bergamah  is  30,000,  only  4,000  of  whom 
are  Greek  and  Armenian  Christians,  the  others 
being  Moslems. 

4.  Thyatira.  On  the  river  Lycus,  N.  E.  of 
Smyrna  60  ms.  It  has  been  known  as  Pelopia, 
Semiramis,  Euhippa,  (Pliny),  and  is  now  called 
Ak  Hissar  (white  castle).  Apollo  was  worshiped 
under  the  name  of  Tyrimnas  (a  Macedonian  king), 
also  Artemis;  and,  besides  these,  there  were  several 
other  gods.  There  was  a  curious  worship  of  a  cer- 
tain Sambatha,  a  Chaldsean  (or  Jewish  Sibyl ;  said 
to  have  been  brought  there  by  the  Jews,  and  which 
is  referred  to  in  Rev.  ii.  20,  etc.,  under  the  name  of 
Jezebel.  Rome  was  also  deified,  as  also  Hadrian 
(see  Coins,  on  pps.  29,  256),  and  other  emperors. 

Cxames  were     celebrated    in 
i~^^  honor  of  TjTimnas,  Hercules,

*'*  .,  _-,"  ■  On  the  coins  there  are  stamp- 

ed the  heads  of  Bacchus, 
Athene,  Cybele,  and  the  em- 
perors. There  are  many  re- 
mains of  antiquity,  such  as 
marble  sculptures,  generally 
in  fragments  built  into  mod- 
ern walls,  or  used  as  troughs 
or  well-covers,  and  a  church  of 
St.  John,  which  was  originally 
a  pagan  temple,  and  is  now  a 
mosque,  with  a  tall  minaret. 
Inscriptions  are  found  which 
give  an  account  of  many  cor- 
porate societies  of  different 
trades — bakers,  potters,  weav- 
ers, robe  makers,  and  dyers, 
of  which  last  Antonius  Clau- 
dius Alphenus  was  at  one  time 
the  honored  leader,  and  of 
which  Lydia,  whom  Paul  met 
in  Philippi,  was  a  member. 
The  distant  view  of  the  city  is 
very  beautiful,  but,  inside  of  the  limits,  there  is  Uttle 
order,  and  less  neatness.  2,000  houses  pay  taxes, 
and  500  hovels  are  exempt,  sheltering,  altogether, 
about  15,000  people.  The  railway  from  Smyrna 
now  reaches  Magnesia  (30  ms.  distant) ,  and  is  to 
be  continued  to  Thyatira,  and  perhaps  beyond. 

5.  Sar'dis.  The  capital  of  the  ancient  Lydia 
(which  Homer  called  Moeonia),  once  "  The  Queen 
of  Asia,"  was  the  famous  valley  of  the  classic 
Ilermus,  2  ms.  S.  of  the  river,  at  the  foot  of  Mt. 
Tmolus,  on  the  river  Pactolus.  Its  first  king  of 
whom  we  have  a  record  was  Candaules  (716  B.  C. ) ; 
and  the  last  was  the  renowned  Croesus,  who  en- 
riched himself  and  the  city  by  the  golden  sands  of 
the  Pactolus.  But  the  real  wealth  of  the  city  was 
derived  from  its  commerce  and  manufactures  (see 
Sardis,  on  page  268).  The  invention  of  the 
art  of  dyeing,  and  of  the  system  of  trading  in 
shops,  is  creiiited  to  it.  (See  Coin,  p.  125).  Not 
many  years  ago  there  were  6,  and  there  are  still 
standing  2,  of  the  pillars  of  the  temple  of  Cybele 
(60  ft.  high),  which  are  the  oldest  Greek  monu- 
ments in  the  world,  having  been  set  up  about  300 
yrs.  after  Solomon's  temple;  the  other  4  were  made 
into  lime  by  the  Turks.  The  eminent  author  Melito 
was  bishop  of  Sardis,  in  the  2d  century;  and  the 
oldest  catalogue  of  the  books  of  the  O.  T.  by  any 
Christian  writer,  that  has  come  down  to  us,  was  by 
his  hand.  The  Council  of  Sardis  was  convened  in 
347,  from  a  rule  of  which  the  Pope  of  Rome  claims

Tlie  cemetery  of  the  ancient  kings  of  Lydia  (of 
the  dynasty  of  Crwsus)  is  on  tlu'  top  of  a  high 
plateau,  G  ms.  north  of  Sardis,  where  there  are 
mounds  extending  over  a  vast  area.  The  monu- 
ment of  Alyattes,  the  father  of  Cnesus,  so  nunutely 
described  by  Herodotus  (i.  !»:i),  is  still  (luite  perfect. 
It  is  3800  feet  around  and  1300  feet  long,  rising  300 
feet  above  the  plain.  It  has  never  been  disturl)ed, 
and  is  supposed  to  contain  many  treasures  valuable 
to  the  antiquary,  illustrating  the  customs  of  a  peo- 
ple whose  civiUzation  daUs  long  before  that  of 
Greece,  and  second  only  to  Egypt  and  Assyria. 

Xerxes  gathered  his  great  army  at  Sardis  wlien 
he  marched  to  invade  Greece  by  way  of  the  Helles- 
pont. Cyrus  the  Younger  beautified  the  vicinity 
by  making  some  fine  gardens.  Alexander  left  his 
general  Pausanias  here,  and  ordered  the  erection 
of  a  temple  to  Jupiter. 

6.  Philadel'phia  was  founded  and  named  by 
Attalus  Philadelphus,  B.  C.  140,  as  a  mart  for  the 

freat  wine  district,  which  is  celebrated  by  Virgil, 
t  is  on  the  little  river  Cogamus,  which  joins  the 
Hermus  near  Sardis,  suri-ounded  almost  by  an 
amphitheatre  of  hills,  and  bowered  in  orchards,  in 
the  midst  of  extensive  gardens.  The  rock  is  ba- 
saltic, and  streams  of  lava  may  be  traced  in  seve- 
ral tracts,  but  covered  by  deep,  black,  rich  soil. 
The  great  staple  is  opium,  which  is  entirely  mon- 
opolized by  the  government.  Herodotus  says  the 
sugar-cane  was  anciently  cultivated,  and  mentions 
a  confection  which  was  made  of  tamarisk  and 
wheat,  which  is  to-day  the  favorite  sweetmeat  of 
Philadelphia  (called  halva),  after  a  continuance  of 
over  2000  years.  Wlien  Xerxes  was  on  his  way  to 
Greece  herested  under  a  great  plane-tree  near  the 
city,  and  so  much  admired  its  beauty  that  he  ap- 
pointed a  keeper  for  it,  and  adorned  it  with  golden 
ornaments.  Plane-trees  still  floui-ish  here  which 
surpass  all  others  in  the  country. 

Philadelphia  was  included  in  the  message  with 
Smyrna  as  deserving  approbation  and  encourage- 
ment; and  these  two  only  out  of  the  seven  cities 
have  continued  to  our  day,  and  now  possess  a 
material  prosperity  somewhat  equal  to  their  an- 
cient importance. 

The  present  name  is  Allah  Sh,'hr  (city  of  God, 
or  High  town).  The  site  is  a  hill,  with  four  flat 
summits,  from  which  the  view  is  very  fine.  The 
valley  of  the  Hermus  is  here  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  and  extensive  in  Asia.  There  are  fifteen 
churches  in  use,  and  about  twenty  in  ruins.  Of 
the  ancient  cathedral  of  St.  John,  all  that  is  left 
are  a  few  massive  pilasters,  which  are  shown  in 
the  engraving,  towering  above  the  modern  build- 
ings, and  these  are  built  up  from  fragments  of  more 
ancient  pagan  temples. 

There  are  15,000  people,  one-third  of  whom  are 
Greek  Christians,  who  have  a  bishop,  enjoy  the 
free  exercise  of  their  religion  in  church,  in  proces- 
sions in  the  streets,  in  the  use  of  church  bells  (no- 
where else  allowed  in  the  interior  of  Asia  Minor), 
and  their  chief  glory  is  in  the  honorable  mention 
of  their  church  in  the  Revelation. 

7.  Laodice'a,  an  ancient  city  on  the  Lycus,  in 
the  valley  of  the  Meander,  forty  miles  east  of 
Ephesus.  Its  site  was  on  seven  hills,  which  were 
drained  by  two  brooks,  the  Asopus  and  Caprus. 
The  ruins  are  of  a  stadium,  in  very  complete  pre- 
servation, three  theatres  (one  of  which  was  4.50 
feet  in  diameter),  bridges,  aqueducts,  and  a  gvm- 
nasium,  which  testify  to  its  ancient  wealth  andim- 
portance.  Its  original  name  was  Diospolis  (the 
city  of  Jupiter),  which  was  changed  to  Rhoas, 
under  which  title  it  became  the  largest  city  in 


Phrygia  (Pliny).    Antiochus  II  gave  it  the  name 
of  his  wife  Laodice. 

The  inuvgery  in  Rev.  ii.  18,  was  suggested  by  the 
images  of  Apollo,  the  sun-god,  on  the  coiUis.  Sara- 
batha  had  a  fane  there  also  (see  Th vatika) .  The 
emperors  wi're  also  deified,  especially  Hadrian. 

It  became  the  seat  of  an  archbishop,  and  in  its 
cathedral  church  were  gathered  several  councils ; 
in  one  of  which,  a  system  of  supplying  the  villages 
or  small  societies  in  the  interior  with  church  ser- 
vices by  itineniling  prcsl)\  ters,  was  adopted  (some- 
what similar  to  the  Metiiodist  plan  now  in  use), 
under  the  direction  of  the  bishop  of  Laodicea. 
Here  also  was  adoi)ted  a  rule  "that  Christians 
should  not  Judai/.e  by  resting  on  the  seventh  day, 
but  to  work  on  it  as  lisual,  and  rest  on  the  Lord's 
day  as  far  as  possible,  like  Christians." 

I'he  city  was  utterly  destroyed  A.  D.  1230,  since 
when  it  has  lain  in  shapeless  ruins,  only  visited  for 
its  marble  and  other  materials. 

The  aqueduct  (which  supplied  the  city,  and  is 
now  almost  perfect),  which  conveyed  water  down 
one  hill,  across  the  plain,  and  up  another,  in  stone 
pipcfi,  proves  the  Romans  to  have  been  acquainted 
with  the  hydrostatic  law  of  water  finding  its  level. 
The  stone ')iii'cs  have  a  diameter  of  two  feet,  and 
are  fitted  into  each  other  at  the  ends,  and  the  cal- 
careous deposit  from  the  water  has  incrusted  them, 
forming  almost  a  continuous  pipe  without  a  visible 
joint. 

The  seats  in  the  stadium  have  letters  and  num- 
bers, their  owners'  or  the  keeper's  marks. 

A  recent  visitor  found  a  number  of  workmen 
sawing  up  the  richly  sculptured  entablature  of  the 
ancient  theatre,  having  been  busy  there  for  six 
years,  cutting  up  the  marble.  Near  them  was  a 
colossal  statue,  sawn  into  several  pieces.  In  this 
maihier  have  disappeared,  during  the  past  twenty 
years,  two  agate  pillars,  18  inches  in  diameter;  a 
great  number  of  composite  richly  sculptured  col- 
umns, adorned  with  busts  and  heads  in  relief,  and 
vases  with  wreaths  of  leaves  and  fruits,  and  sta- 
tues and  busts  and  architectural  ornaments  without 
number  (the  tribute  the  art-world  pays  to  Moham- 
med). 

Colossi  is  about  ten  miles  east  from  Laodicea, 
near  the  village  of  Choiias,  but  is  without  any  in- 
teresting ruins,  although  it  was  an  important  city 
in  the  tune  of  the  expedition  of  Xerxes.   (See  view 
on  page  62).    Hierapolis  has  lately  afforded  a  fine 
proof  of  the  truth  of  an  account  of  Strabo  (xiii. 
iv.  14),  who  speaks  of  a  deadly  vapor  (carbonic 
acid   gas?)    which  killed   any   animal    that  ap- 
proached the  place.      The  experiment  was  tried 
by  Svoboda  recently  on  two  fowls,  and  resulted 
fatally  to  both  in  a  lew  seconds.

SHE'BA  {red),  (Gen.  x.  7).  1.  Grandson  of 
Cush;  2.  Tenth  son  of  Joktau  (ver.  28) ;  3.  Grand- 
son of  Keturah  (ib.  xxv.  3).  1.  The  name  of  the 
kingdom  in  South  Arabia,  before  Himyer  took  its 
place,  a  few  years  before  Christ  (24— Strabo) .  Here 
were  the  Sa'breans  of  Diodorus  (iii.  38,  46).  A 
queen  of  Sheba  visited  Solomon  (1  K.  x.),  attend- 
ed by  a  great  train,  camels  loaded  with  spices, 
gold,  and  precious  stones.  The  chief  cities  were 
Seba,  Uzal  (now  Sana),  Sephar  (now  Zafar),  and 
Mariaba  (now  Marib).  This  district  had  the  chief 
riches,  best  country,  and  greatest  numbers  of  all 
the  four  peoples  of  Arabia.  The  local  history  is 
authentic  only  as  far  back  as  the  first  century  A. 
D.  Their  ancient  religion  was  pagan.— 2.  Settled 
on  the  Persian  Gulf.  Oil  the  island  of  BahrejTi, 
in  the  Gulf,  are  the  ruins  of  an  ancient  city  called 
Seba.  Its  merchants  are  mentioned  in  Ezekiel 
xxvii.  22.-3.  The  sons  of  Keturah  are  charged  by 


Gershom  (1  Chr.  xxiii.  16).— 2,  Chief  in  Ino 
thirteenth  course  in  the  Temple-choir  (xxv.  4). 

SHECANI'AH.  1.  Chief  of  the  tenth  course  of 
,  priests  in  David's  time  (1  Chr.  xxiv.  11).— 2.  One 
who  distributed  portions  to  priests  in  Hezekiah's 
reign  (2  Chr.  xxxi.  15). 

SHECHAMI'AH  {families  with  Jah).  Seven  of 
this  name  are  mentioned  in  1  Clir.  iii.  21,  22 ;  Ezr. 
viii.  3,  5,  x.  2;  Neh.  iii.  29,  vi.  18,  xiL  3. 

SHECH'EM  {ridge).  Sichem  (Gen.  xxxlii.  18). 
It  is  not  certain  whether  the  citv  was  named  from 
Shechem,  the  son  of  Hamor,  or  that  he  was  named 
after  the  city.  It  is  on  the  top  of  the  ridge  between 
the  waters  of  the  Jordan  and  the  Mediterranean 
Sea,  between  Ebal  and  Gerizim  (Judg.  ix.  7).

the  admiration  of  all  travelers,  Dr.  Clarke  saying, 
that  "there  is  nothing  finer  in  all  Palestine."  The 
valley  is  sheltered  by  a  high  mountain  on  each 
side,  and  only  about  1500  it.  wide,  and  elevated 
1800  ft.  above  the  sea.  Water  flows  from  the  city 
E.  and  W.  to  the  Jordan,  and  to  the  Mediterranean 
sea.  The  valley  is  full  of  gardens,  orchards  of  all 
kinds  of  fruits,  watered  by  fountains,  and  enlivened 
by  the  songs  of  birds.  Abraham,  on  his  first  visit 
to  the  Land  of  Promise,  pitched  his  tent  under  the 
oak  of  Moreh,  at  Shechem  (Gen.  xii.  6).  Jacob 
bought  a  field  of  the  children  of  Hamor  (Gen. 
xxxiii.  19),  where  he  dug  a  well,  about  a  mile  from 
the  present  town,  and  left  it  as  a  special  patrimony 
to  Joseph  (Josh.  xxiv.  32) .  Shechem  was  given  to 
Ephraim  (Josh.  xx.  7),  was  assignpd  to  the  Le- 


SHEEP-FOLD. 

vites,  and  was  made  a  City  of  Eef  uge  (ib.  xxi.  20, 
21).  The  people  assembled  at  Shechem  to  hear  the 
law  of  Moses  read,  "half  of  them  over  against 
Mt.  Gerizim,  and  half  of  them  over  against  Mt. 
Ebal,"  the  chief  men  and  priests  being  around  the 
ark  in  the  midst  (Josh.  viii.  30-35) ;  and  again  Jo- 
shua gathered  all  the  tribes  here  just  before  his 
death  (xxiv.),  and  delivered  his  last  counsels. 
Abimelech  raised  a  revolt  in  Shechem,  and  was 
made  king  (Judg.  ix.);  and  Jotham  denounced 
him  and  the  men  of  Shechem  in  a  parable,  from 
the  top  of  Gerizim  (ver.  22),  and  after  3  yrs.  he  de- 
stroyed the  city  and  the  strong  tower  that  was  in 
the  city,  but  lost  his  own  life  also  (ver.  53).  The 
10  tribes  made  Jeroboam  their  king  and  Shechem 
their  capital  (1  K.  xii.  20).  Wlien  the  people  were 
carried  away  to  Babylon  the  city  was  colonized 
from  Assyria  (2  K.  xvii.  24),  and  again  admitted 
strangers  under  Esar-haddon  (Ezr,  iv.  2).  The 
present  town  of  Nablus  has  about  5,000  people,  liv- 
ing in  stone  houses  of  very  ordinary  style,  except 
those  of  the  wealthy  sheikhs.  There  are  no  fine 
public  buildings.  There  are  not  less  than  80  springs 
of  water  in  the  valley.  One  of  the  largest,  Am 
Balata,  rises  in  a  chamber  partly  under  ground,  a 
few  rods  from  Jacob's  well.  Olives,  figs,  almonds, 
walnuts,  mulberries,  pomegranates,  oranges,  apri- 
cots, and  grapes,  abound,  besides  vegetables  of 
every  sort.  There  are  manufactories  of  wool,  silk, 
and  camel's-hair  cloth,  and  especially  of  soap;  and 
the  district  around  it  is  rich  in  wool,  grain  and  oil. 
As  a  confirmation  of  the  truth  and  accuracy,  even 
to  minute  detail,  it  is  interesting  to  cite  the  words 
of  the  original  Hebrew,  describing  this  spot,  on 
which  Joseph's  tomb  stands,  which  are,  chelkat 
HAS-8ADE,  meaning  a  dead-level;  differing  from 
SHEFELAH,  (a  plain),  and  emek  (a  valley),  and 
this  description  is  exactly  correct— and  besides, 
there  is  no  other  spot  like  it  in  all  Palestine. 

SHECH'INAH  (habitation).  Indwelling  of  God, 
is  properly  applied  to  visible  manifestations  of 
God's  presence.  Thus,  Num.  v.  3,  in  the  midst 
whereof  I  dwell  is  rendered  bytheTargum  "among 
whom  my  shekinah  is  dwelling."    Difference  of 


opinion  exists  as  to  whether  there  was  any  con- 
tinuous visible  manifestations  of  God's  presence  in 
the  Holy  of  Holies  over  the  ca^p^ere^A  or  mercy-seat. 
Jewish  authorities  hold  there  was,  and  that  this 
shekinah  did  not  return  to  the  second  temple. 
Many  Christian  writers  deny  its  continuous  visi- 
bility even  in  the  first. 

SHED'EUR  (darting  of  fire).  Father  of  EUzur 
(Num.  i.  5). 

SHEEP.  Ileb.  ayil,  a  ram  (Gen.  xv.  9) ;  kak,  a 
lamb;  kebes,  a  he-lamb  (xxx.  40);  fem.  kibsah, 
ewe-lamb  (Gen.  xxi.  28);  ZON,  zona,  zonah,  a 
flock  of  small  cattle  (Gen.  iv.  4);  rahel,  rachel, 
fem.  "ewe"  (Gen.  xxxi.  38;  seh,  one  of  a  flock, 
i.  e.  sheep  or  goat  (Gen.  xxii.  7) ;  taleh,  a  lamb, 
yoimg  and  tender. 

Of  the  Syrian  sheep  there  are  two 
varieties:  the  Bedaween,  which  have 
long  and  thick  tails,  but  differ  in 
no  other  respect  from  the  larger 
kinds  of  sheep  among  us.  The  others 
have  very  large  and  broad  tails,  with 
a  small  end  which  turns  back  upon 
itself;  they  are  of  a  substance  be- 
tween fat  and  marrow,  which  is  not 
eaten  separately,  but  mixed  with  the 
lean  meat  in  many  of  their  dishes, 
and  also  used  instead  of  butter.  A 
common  sheep  of  this  sort,  without 
the  head,  feet,  shin,  and  entrails, 
weighs  from  60  to  80  pounds,  of 
which  the  tail  itself  is  usually  10  or 
15  (see  cut  on  page  89),  and  when 
fattened,  twice  or  thrice  that  weight. 
The  sheep  or  lamb  was  the  com- 
mon sacrifice  under  the  Mosaic  law 
(Ex.  xxix.  22).  The  innocence,  mildness,  submis- 
sion and  patience,  of  the  lamb,  render  it  suitable 
for  a  sacrifice  (John  1.  29). 

There  are  frequent  allusions  in  Scripture  to  sheep, 
and  its  proneness  to  go  astray  (Is.  Mil.  6).  It  is 
gregarious,  and  dependent  on  the  protection  and 
guidance  of  its  master.  Its  name  is  often  given  to 
the  people  of  God  (2  K.  xxii.  17).  Sheep  and  goats 
are  still  found  in  Syria,  feeding  together,  as  in  an- 
cient times  (Gen.  xxx.  35).  The  season  of  sheep- 
shearing  was  one  of  great  joy  and  festivity  (1  Sam. 
XXV.  2,  8,  3G).  The  Bedawins  are  compelled  to 
move  from  place  to  place  as  their  flocks  and  herds 
consume  the  pasture,  and  the  supply  of  water  is 
the  one  great  question.  The  noon  is  the  time  for 
watering  the  animals  (Ps.  xxiii.  1,  2),  when  the 
tribe,  or  the  shepherds  gather  to  talk  over  the  news. 
Sheep-cotes  or  folds  are  generally  open  houses  or 
enclosures,  walled  round  (Num.  xxxu.  16;  2  Sam. 
vii.  8). 

SHEEP-MAEKET,  THE  (John  v.  2).  Supposed 
to  have  been  a  gate,  and  at  present  called  St. 
Stephen's;  and  the  »reat  open  ruined  cistern  near 
it  is  called  the  Pool  of  Bethesda.

menia on  the  north,  the  Tigris  and  its  mountain 
ranges  on  the  east,  the  Red  Sea,  Levant,  and  Asia 
Minor  on  the  west— the  south  is  limited  by  the 
ocean.  The  uniform  climate  of  this  vast  region 
has  tended  to  keep  the  people  to  their  unvarying 
customs  from  age  to  age,  whether  in  the  cities,  or 
in  the  country,  or  on  tlie  trackless  waste.

The  Oln  Testament  has  traces  of  the  changes  in 
the  languagc\s  or  Palestine  and  Assyria,  tispi-cially 
in  the  fragments  of  ancient  poems,  which  contain 
manv  Aranuvic  words  not  used  anywhere  else  in 
the  Scri]itures.  The  natural  tendency  of  tlu;  Ar- 
yans has  been,  in  all  cases,  to  keep  their  language 
and  cu.stoms  free  from  any  mixture  from  their 
neighbors;  adoi)ting  very  few  words  and  very  few 
habits  from  otlier  people.  Their  language,  re- 
ligion, and  manners  were  all  unsocial,  despotic, 
conservative;  and  wliat  treasures  they  borrowed 
from  the  nations  around  them  were  not  assimi- 
lated, but  kept  entire  as  when  first  fomid. 

The  peculiar  character  of  these  languages  is 
that  the  original  root  words  are  nearly  all  of  one 
syllable.  The  changes  incident  to  growtii  have  re- 
sulted in  arranging  the  particles  ar(iund  the  root 
words,  or  if  making  particles  of  these  words,  wliich 
become  parts  of  the  later  form  of  worils.  There 
are  no  compound  words — or  very  few.  There  are 
no  logical  arrangements,  but  tiie'groupingof  words 
which  record  facts,  and  carry  f(jrward  the  tr»iu 
of  thought. 
An  instance: 

"Who  is  this,  the  King  of  Glory? 
Jehovah,  strong  and  miglity; 
Jehovah,  mighty  in  l>altle. 
Lift  up  your  heads,  ye  gates. 
And  lift  up,  ye  everlasting  doors 
That  the  King  of  (rlory  may  come  in. 
Who,  then,  is  lie,  the  King  of  Glory? 
Jehovah  of  hosts, 
He  is  the  King  of  Glory."    (Pause). 

.Ps.  xxiv.  8-10 
Here  the  mind  is  carried  forward  from  one  fact 
to  another,  in  simple  and  sublime  statement,  with- 
out logic,  except  the  iiTesistable  logic  of  facts. 

It  appears  to  be  beyond  dispute,  as  can  be 
proved  from  the  ancient  moimments,  from  tradi- 
tion, and  from  dialects  now  spoken  by  their  de- 
scendants, that  a  great  Hamitic  population  must 
have  overspread  Europe,  Asia  and  Africa,  speak- 
ing languages  more  or  less  dissimilar  in  their 
vocabulary,  but  having  almost  a  connnon  gram- 
mar and  construction.  These  people  civilized 
Phoenicia,  Babylonia,  South  Arabia  and  Egypt, 
and  i)repared  the  way  for  the  Hebrew  race,  or  the 
Shemitic  races,  who  came  after  and  benefited  by 
their  works. 

The  materials  for  a  history  of  the  Hebrew 
language  are  as  few  as  for  a  nistory  of  a  rock. 
The  language  from  Abraham's  time  to  this  has  not 
changed  in  one  essential  feature  or  element,  except 
to  decay.  Very  few  words  have  been  drojiped, 
and  not  many  added,  and  the  greater  numlter  of 
the  additions  date  from  the  Captivity.  The  lan- 
guage shows  historic  progress  from  Moses  (the 
Pentateuch)  to  the  Captivity  (Ezra  and  Malachi), 
always  degenerating,  and  every  adopted  word  can 
be  selected,  even  in  its  Hebrew  dress,  as  yavan, 
from  the  Sanscrit  yuvajana,  young  emigrants, 
meaning  the  Greeks.  From  the  Captivity,  pure 
Hebrew  was  confined  by  custom  to  the  priests  and 
the  sanetuarv,  from  which  use  it  was  never  again 
separated,  and  with  the  passing  away  of  the  Tem- 
ple worship,  has  become  a  dead  language.  It  was 
even  dead  in  the  time  of  Christ,  for  the  Scriptures 
were  at  that  time  known  only  in  the  Aramaean. 
The  present  Jewish  speech  is  a  combination  of 
words  Hebraized  and  Iwrrowed  from  every  quar- 
ter of  the  world. 

It  is  argued  that  the  Hebrew  could  not  have  been 
the  one  original  source  of  languages  for  its  oldest 
names,  as  Adam,  Eve,  etc.,  are  derivatives,  and 
may  have  been  translated  from  other  languages 
by  Moses. 

"The  language  is  rich  in  different  terms  for  the 
same  object,  as  9  for  "trust  in  God;"  14  for  "in-

brew  as  Lobe  used  in  coiumon;  and  it  was  more 
widely  distributed  (by  sailors  and  merchants)  than 
any  other  ancient  speech,  and  from  this  very  cause 
it  went  to  pieces,  after  having  become  overloaded 
by  adopted  words.  (The  English  language  is  be- 
ing overloaded  by  Latinisnis  in  the  same  manner). 

The  successor  to  Aramaic  is  Syriac,  dating  from 
the  2d  century,  A.  D.,  in  which  there  is  a  wealth 
of  foreign  words,  especially  Greek.  The  Aramaic 
after  a  career  of  eleven  centuries  as  the  sacred 
language  of  the  Israelites,  has,  according  to  a  law 
which  works  the  same  in  all  cases,  passed  away. 

The  remains  of  the  ancient  languages  of  Assyria 
are  almost  entirely  found  in  the  wedge-shaped  and 
arrow-head  characters;  and  tlie  history  of  the  lan- 
guage can  be  traced,  quite  distinctly,  from  the  age 
\)f  clay  tablets  to  those  of  bricks  and  alabaster.  It 
appears  that  the  Babylonian  alphabet  was  con- 
structed on  the  more  ancient  syllabic  alphabet  of  [ 
the  wedge-shaped  period.  Some  few  remains  of 
this  speech  are  found  in  Daniel  (see  History  of  ] 
THE  Books)  ,  but  the  originals  of  the  Apocryphal 
books  are  lost,  while  the  (remaras  are  not  free  from 
mixture  with  other  tongues,  and  the  Zohar  is  pecu- 
liar in  describing  Gnostic  atheism  in  Aramaic  forms 
of  speech,  and  so  adds  little  to  our  knowledge  of 
the  Aramaic  idiom.  The  peculiar  idioms  are  better 
preserved  in  the  Masora.  Not  much  additional  can 
be  found  in  the  Samaritan,  which  was  the  vulgar 
Aramaic  and  Hebrew  mingled  after  the  sacred  dia- 
lect became  the  language  of  the  sanctuary  and 
Holy  Books. 

Tire  dialect  of  Galilee  was  local,  largely  influ- 
enced and  mingled  with  foreign  elements,  confused 
by  the  indifferent  use  of  certain  letters,  as  soft  k 
and  hard  k,  b  and  p,  d  for  t  final.  The  sacred  dia- 
lect had  but  little  influence,  and  was  so  little  known 
in  the  time  of  Ezra  and  Nehemiah  (viii.  8),  as  to 
need  interpretation  when  read  in  public. 

Eastern  Aramaic  is  the  language  of  the  Tar- 
gums,  and  of  the  Pharisees;  while  the  Western 
branch  is  the  language  of  the  New  Testament, 
of  the  Christians  of  the  first  century.  As  the  sacred 
dialect  disappeared  from  the  popular  mind,  the 
work  of  the  scholars  arose  to  importance,  in  such 
works  as  the  Targums.  Tlie  Talmud  was  the 
growth  of  the  ages  dating  from  the  Captivity  to 
A.  D.  426,  but  there  are  few  additions  to  our  know- 
ledge of  the  languages  used  in  the  work. 

Of  the  Palmyrene  dialect  the  only  remains  are 
the  inscriptions  dating  from  A.  D.  49  to  A.  D.  250, 
which  contain  words  borrowed  from  the  Arabic, 
Greek,  and  Latin. 

The  sacred  dialect  became  classic,  and  confined 
to  books,  after  the  fall  of  Jerusalem,  the  chief  seat 
of  its  schools  being  at  Edessa  until  A.  D.  440,  when 
it  was  removed  to  Nisibis.  Since  the  8th  century 
it  has  declined  in  interest,  and  was  but  partly  re- 
stored to  favor  by  the  facilities  afforded  by  tlie  dis- 
covery of  printing.  (SeeCANOK.)  Chaldaic  para- 
phrases of  tlie  Scriptures  have  thrown  much  light 
on  manners  and  customs,  and  on  certain  difficult 
passages  of  tlie  O.  T. ,  especially  those  claimed  by 
Christians  to  be  prophesies  of  the  Messiah,  which 
are  proved  lieyond  a  question,  by  the  paraphrases, 
to  liave  been  so  regarded  by  the  Jews,  in  all  ages, 
before  the  appearance  of  Jesus  the  Christ. 

The  sacred  language  of  Ethiopia,  the  Jeez 
(Ghez),  has  been  traced  to  its  relation  with  Arabic 
and  Aramaic,  and  it  is  probably  a  relic  of  Himyar- 
ite  emigration.  Cush  was  on  both  sides  of  the  Red 
Sea  (see  Ham).  The  alphabet  is  very  curious; 
every  consonant  contains  an  r,  and  the  vowels  are 
made  by  adding  a  sound  to  a  consonant.  This  sys- 
tem requires  202  letters. 

The  Arabic  language  shows  by  internal  evidence 
its  great  antiquity,  and  its  local  habitation  from 
the  beginning  in  Arabia.  Palgrave  says  that  in 
Central  Arabia,  where  very  little  or  no  foreign  in- 
fluence has  ever  been  felt,  that  the  Arabic  is  spoken 


now  in  the  same  purity  as  when  Mohammed  wrote 
the  Koran,  1200  years  ago.  It  is  said  in  a  legend  that 
the  language  was  formed  by  the  union  of  several 
dialects,  of  which  the  Koreish  was  the  leading  one, 
and  in  which  the  Koran  was  written. 

Arabian  historians  describe  a  golden  age  of  poetry 
just  preceding  Mohammed,  in  which  poets  con- 
tended with  each  other  for  national  honors,  in 
grand  public  assemblies.  Poetry  and  romance 
were  the  chief  objects  of  attention,  held  in  greater 
honor  than  trade  or  labor.  Th(ise  poets  were  either 
skeptical  or  voluptuaries,  and  their  writings,  as  we 
now  have  them,  give  no  idea  of  what  their  religion 
was  before  Mohammed.  The  Koran  contains  evi- 
dences of  a  change  in  Arabic  literature,  in  pro- 
gress at  the  time  it  was  written;  the  closing  chap- 
ters appearing  to  have  been  written  earliest  in 
point  of  time. 

The  Arabic  is  especially  rich  in  words  and  in 
grammatical  forms,  and  in  greater  number  and 
variety  than  any  other  language. 

The"  language  was,  as  we  know  it,  first  the  speech 
of  robbers  and  herdsmen,  without  religion,  super- 
stitious, uncultivated;  and  afterwards  that  of  a 
cultivated,  self-satisfied,  luxurious,  licentious  peo- 
ple, whose  philosopliy  was  borrowed,  and  religion 
invented  and  dogmatized  in  the  most  offensive  and 
tiresome  manner. 

Its  chief  value  to  the  Bible  student  is  the  vast 
mass  of  words  that  it  furnishes  in  illustration  of 
obscure  Hebrew  words,  by  which  many  obscure 
passages  have  been  explained. 

The  question  of  the  antiquity  of  the  art  of  writ- 
ing is  settled  in  favor  of  a  much  earlier  age  than 
that  of  Moses,  for  he  regulates  a  certain  use  of  the 
art  in  Lev.  xix.  28,  and  it  is  not  probable  that  the 
Hebrew  alphabet  and  system  of  writing  was  in- 
vented during  the  sojourn  in  the  Wilderness.  The 
theory  most  favored  now  is  that  the  Egyptians  had 
the  art  many  years  before  the  Hebrews  were  a 
people,  or  even  before  Phoenicia  had  its  alphabet. 

The  oldest  alphabet  that  is  known  is  the  Phceni- 
cian,  and  the  oldest  monument  of  it  is  the  Moabite: 
Stone,  recently  discovered  (see  page  173).  Coins 
are  next  in  order  of  antiquity,  and  those  struck  by 
the  Maccabfeans  are  instances  (see  Writing  and 
Money). 

The  ancient  relics  exhibit  the  grovpth  of  the 
square  Hebrew  letter  from  age  to  age,  having  lie- 
come  settled  in  Ezra's  time,  and  continuing  witli- 
out  change  from  that  to  about  500  A.  D.  The 
letter  became  consecrated,  and  was  preserved  with 
superstitious  care,  especially  after  the  fall  of  Jeru- 
salem. The  reverence  of  the  Jews  for  their  sacred 
writings  would  have  been  outraged  by  any  attemjit 
to  introduce  a  system  of  intcniretaUon"  different 
from  the  ancient  one.  To  establish  a  uniform  sys- 
tem was  the  object  of  the  Masoretes  (masters"  of 
tradition),  by  means  of  written  vowels  and  accents, 
which  dates  from  about  the  6th  century  A.  D.  The 
Syriac  adopted  a  similar  system  in  the  1st  or  2d 
century. 

The  ordinary  Hebrew  verb  has  5  forms: 
1.  KAL.    Simple  form. 


Causative. 

2.   HIPHIL. 

Passive,  hophal. 


Reflective. 
3.  niphal. 


Intensive. 

4.   PIEL. 

Pa-mm,  fual. 


5.   HITHPAEL. 

There  are  no  moods.  In  the  Arabic  there  are  15 
forms  in  the  verb,  by  which  ideas  of  time,  place 
and  action  are  conveyed  as  well  as  by  our  system 
of  moods. 

Names  are  intensified  by  prefixtures,  as  Ha^ 
Arabah,  the  Arabali.  There  are  dual  names,  as 
horse,  meaning  both  horse  and  mare,  or  two  horses, 
and  there  is  a  ttiii'd  class,  meaning  many,  as  attu- 
dim,  goats,  zone,  .'<heep,  as  a  flock.  A  fourth  class 
represent  many  different  individuals  without  dis-

4;  7  vii;  Xeh.  xi.  4;  Jer.  xxxviii.  1. 

SHEP'HEKD  (Heb.  roeh,  Khepherd,  pastor'). 
(Gen.  xlix.  4;  Jer.  ii.  8).  The  wandering  character 
of  life,  and  the  dependence  upon  flocks,  rendered 
the  care  of  sheep  amongst  the  most  important  du- 
ties of  life,  from  the  earliest  time  in  the  East.  (See 
Sheep).  "Abel  was  a  keeper  of  slieep"  (Gen.  iv.2). 
The  employment  of  shepherd  was  not  only  followed 
by  the  chiefs  (Gen.  xxx.  29),  but  by  their  sons  and 
daughters  as  well  (Gen.  xxix.  6;  Ex.  ii.  1!)).  Ex- 
tensive flocks  fed  in  the  wilderness  of  Judah  (1  Sam. 
XXV.  2);  at  Bethlehem  (1  Sam.  xvi.  11;  Luke  ii.  8); 
at  Gedor  (1  Chr.  iv.).  As  the  people  became  moi'e 
settled,  agriculture  became  more  general,  and  the 
care  of  sheep  less  important.  Figurative  allusion 
is  continually  made,  both  in  the  O.  and  N.  T. : 
Christ  applying  the  expression  to  himself,  and  fre- 
quently using  the  term  figuratively  (Ps.  xxiii. ;  Is. 
xl.  11,  xlix.  '9,  10;  Jer.  xxiii.  3,  4;  John  x.  12,  14, 
16;  1  Pet.  V.  4;  Luke  ii.  8).  It  is  the  habit  of  the 
shepherd,  in  the  East,  to  walk  before  his  flock, 
leading  by  his  voice  (John  x.  4) ;  the  dog  following 
in  the  rear  of  it  (1  Chr.  xxx.  1).  In  leading  to  and 
from  the  pasturage,  the  mothers  are  led  by  the 
shepherd  (Gen.  xxxiii.  13),  who  alw  carries  the 
tender  lambs  (Is.  xi.  11).  Tents  and  towers  were 
erected  for  the  shepherd  as  a  point  of  observation  : 
such  was  the  tower  of  Eden  (Gen.  xxxv.  21). 
Shepherds  used  the  sling  (1  Sam.  xvii.  40),  both 
for  defence  and  amu.sement;  they  also  played  upon 
a  flute.  Tlie  towers  are  still  found  in  nearly  every 
little  district  in  Palestine.  The  shepherd  follows 
the  same  customs  of  care,  and  watching  of  the 
flock,  to-day,  as  in  ancient  times.  In  pleasant 
weather  sleeping  near  them,  in  the  field,  under 
some  rude  hut,  or  under  a  tent:  leading  them  to 
drink,  and  helping  the  young  lambs,  or  lanu^  sheep, 
by  carrying  or  lifting  them  out  of  dangenms  places 
by  his  crook.  Tht^  custom  of  giving  names  to  the 
members  of  the  flock  is  still  in  use;  the  fiock  re- 
cognizing the  she])herd's  voice,  and  answering  to 
their  names.  The  shepherd  is  also  exposed  to 
danger  of  his  life,  in  the  protection  of  his  floclv 
against  robbers  and  wild  beasts.  :Many  shepherds 
make  a  heavy  cloak  of  sheep-skin,  with  the  wool 
on;  and  others  use  the  coarse  goat's-hair,  or  cam- 
el'.s-hair  cloth.

laid  with  gold;  a  rim  and  crown  of  gold  encircling

A  figure  of  the  table  (removed  by  Titus  from  the 
Temple  of  Herod)  is  carved  on  the  arch  of  Titus

corners  of  the  table,  through  which  poles  could  be 
passed  for  carrying  it  (as  in  the  case  of  the  ark). 
Upon  it  on  every  Sabbath  were  placed,  in  two  piles, 
twelve  freshly  baked  unleavened  loaves  of  fine

(Lev.  xxiv.  7).  See  Sacrifice.  A  golden  pot

the  incense  was  burned,  the  loaves  were  eaten  by 
the  priests  in  the  Sanctuary,  and  twelve  fre.sh  ones 
laid  for  an  offering  (Lev.  xxiv.  6,  7;  1  Chr.  xxiii.

SHILO'AH,  THE  WATERS  OF  (Jer.  viii.  6).  The 
prophet  compares  a  quiet  confidence  in  Jehovah 
with  the  waters  of  a  brook,  that  "go  softly,"  and 
contrasts  this  with  the  "waters  of  "a  river,  strong 
and  many,  even  the  king  of  Assyria  and  all  his 
gloi-y:  and  he  shall  come  up  over  all  his  channels, 
and  go  over  all  liis  banks."  Supposed  to  refer  to 
Siloam,  near  Jerusalem. 

SHI'LOH  (rest),  (1  Sam.  i.  24,  iii.  21;  Judg.  xxi. 
19).  In  Ephraim,  north  of  Bethel,  east  of  the 
road  to  Shechem,  south  of  Lebonah.  Now  called 
Srilun.  This  was  one  of  the  earliest  and  most 
sacred  of  the  Jews'  sanctuaries.  The  ark  was 
kept  here  (in  a  tent  or  tabernacle  only),  from  the 
last  days  of  .loshua  (xviil.  1)  to  the  time  of  Samuel 
(1  Sam.  iv.  3).  Here  Joshua  completed  the  divi- 
sion of  the  land  among  the  tribes  (xviii.  10,  xix. 
.51).  The  Benjamites  seized  the  "daughters  of 
Shiloh,"  and  preserved  a  tribe  from  extinction 
(.Tudg.xxi.  19),  "  at  an  annual  feast  of  the  Lord." 
Eli  resided  here  as  judge  of  Israel,  and  died  of 
grief  at  the  news  that  the  ark  of  God  was  taken 
(1  Sam.  iv.  11,  Iff).  The  story  of  Hannah,  Sam- 
uel's mother,  is  an  interesting  incident,  as  illus- 
trating the  character  and  life  of  the  Hebrews  (1 
Sam.  i.,  etc.).  Ahijah  the  prophet  lived  here 
when  Jeroboam  sent  his  wife  to  him  to  inquire 
what  should  become  of  their  sick  son  (IK.  xiv.). 
The  city  was  on  a  low  hill,  rising  from  an  uneven 


plain  surrounded  by  higher  hiUs,  except  a  narrow 
valley  on  the  south.  Very  few,  and  not  any  im- 
portant ruins  are  found  here.  An  immense  oak 
of  great  age  grows  among  the  ruins,  and  a  few 
olive  trees  are  scattered  through  the  hollows  The 
hills  were  once  terraced  and  finely  cultivated.  A 
fine  large  fountain,  half  a  mile  away,  flows  out  in 
a  narrow  vale,  first  into  a  pool,  and  then  into  a 
large  reservoir,  where  flocks  and  herds  are 
watered.  There  are  rock-hewn  sepulchres  near, 
where  perhaps  some  of  Eli's  "  house  "  were  laid.

SHITTAH-TREE 


SHI^NAB  {father's  tooth).  King  of  Admah  in 
Abraham's  time  (Gen.  xiv.  2). 

SHI'NAR,  THE  LAND  OF  (counti-y  of  the  two 
rivers),  (Gen.  xi.  2).  Ancient  name  of  Chaldaja 
and  Babylonia.  It  is  the  Jewish  name,  and  is  not 
found  in  the  native  inscriptions.  Abraham  brought 
the  name  with  him  to  Canaan. 

SHIP  (Heb.  oxiYAH,  sefinah  ;  Gr.  ploion). 
The  fullest  description  of  ships  is  in  the  narrative 
of  Paul's  voyaije  to  Kome  (Acts  xxvii.  xxviii.). 
Paul  sailed  first  on  an  Adraniyttian  vessel  from 
Csesarea  to  Myra— a  coasting  ship  of  moderate  size 
(Acts  xxvii.  1-<J),  then  in  a  large  Alexandrian 
corn  ship,  in  which  he  was  wrecked  on  the  coast 
of  Malta  (Acts  xxvii.  (5,  xxviii.  1),  and  finally 
in  a  largi!  Alexandrian  corn  ship,  from  Malta, 
by  Syracuse,  to  Puteoli  (xxviii.  11-13).  The 
ship  in  which  Paul  was  wrecked  held  27G  per- 
sons (Acts  xxvii.  37),  and  was  laden  with  wheat. 
From  this  it  is  estimated  that  such  ships  were  be- 
tween 500  and  1000  tons  burden.  Si)ii)s  are  often 
mentioned  in  the  Old  Testament,  and  figuratively 
in  Job  ix.  23;  Ps.  xlviii.  79,  civ.  2tj,  cvii.  23.  Solo- 
mon built  a  fleet  at  Ezion-geber  (1  K.  ix.  20). 
The  fleet  of  Jehoshaphat,  built  in  the  same  place, 
was  destroved  (1  K.  xxii.  48,  49;  2  Ciir.  xx.  36,  37). 
War  ships  are  first  alluded  to  in  Dan.  xi.  40.  The 
ships'  prows  bore  figure-heads  or  other  insignia, 
called  "sign"  in  Acts  xxviii.  11.:  ""Whose  sign 
was  Castor  and  Pollux."  When  large,  tlio  ships 
were  impell  'd  by  sails  as  well  as  oars,'  which  were 
used  alone  in  small  craft.  The  sail  was  a  large 
square  one,  attacluHl  to  a  long  yard.  The  Gr.  ar- 
temon  mentioned  in  xVcts  xxvii.  40,  was  the  fore- 
sail, useful  in  putting  a  large  ship  about.  The 
anchors  resembled  those  now  in  use.  The  ship  in 
which  Paul  sailed  had  four  anchors  on  board;  they 
were  anchored  by  the  stern  (Acts  xxvii.  29).  The 
ships  were  steered  by  two  paddles  at  the  stern, 
which  are  the  rudders  alludcnl  to  in  the  narrative 
of  Paul's  voyage.  Anchoring  by  the  stem  neces- 
sitated the  lashing  up  of  tluvse  paddles  to  prevent 
interference.  The  build  and  rig  of  ancient  ships 
caused  a  tendency  in  them  to  start  their  planks  by 
their  beams  yielding;  it  was  therefore  necessary  to 
provide  under-girders  or  helps  (Acts  xxvii.  17)  of 
chains  or  cables,  to  girtli  the  frame  of  the  ship  in 
case  of  need.  The  ships  also  carried  boats  (Acts 
xxvii.  16,  32).  The  captains  of  these  merchant 
ships  were  often  the  owners  in  part  or  whole. 
The  steersman  is  called  "the  governor"  in  James 
iii.  4.

dah,  B.  C.  971,  and  captured  the  strongest  places  in 
the  country,  and  carried  away  the  treasures.  See 
Egypt. 

In  the  article  on  Egypt  it  is  mentioned  that  Shi- 
shak  invaded  Judsea,  and  took  several  cities,  and 
tribute  from  Rehoboam  at  Jerusalem,  the  account 
of  which  has  lately  been  deciphered  on  the  Egyp- 
tian monuments.  Shishak's  name  is  WTitten  STIE- 
SHOXK,  and  he  is  said  to  have  been  an  Ethiopian. 
He  is  shown  as  presenting  to  the  gods  of  Thebes 
the  prisoners  taken  by  him  in  war,  each  name  (of 
a  king,  or  city,  or  nation)  being  in  an  oval  shield. 
See  page  84. 

Here  are  some  of  the  names  as  they  stand  on  the 


walls  of  the  great  temple  at  Karnak.  The  first 
name  recognized  was  .uuhea,  (see  "king  of  Ju- 
dali,"  page  84)  by  Champollion,  which  gave  the 
clue  to  the  others. 

The  names  not  yet  identified  are  omitted.  There 
were  133  in  all.

This  record  of  the  conquest  is  peculiar  to  Eg>T)t, 
and  entirely  independent  of  the  Jews,  or  any  of 
the  writers  of  the  Bible,  and  is  a  confirmation  of 
the  historical  truth  of  2  K.  xxiii.  29,  etc.,  and  2

SHIT'RAI  {Jnh  is  arbitrator).  A  Sharonite  who 
had  charge  of  David's  herds  (1  Chr.  xxvii.  29). 

SHIT'TAH-TREE.  Shit'tim.  Understood  as  the 
acacia  tree,  of  which  tliere  are  tliree  or  four 
species  in  the  East,  especially  used  in  the  construc- 
tion of  the  tabernacle,  ark,  table  of  shew-bread, 
altars,  etc.  (Ex.  xxv.,  xxvi.,  xxxvi.,  xxxvii., 
xxxviii.).  "I  will  plant  in  the  wilderness  the 
cedar,  tlie  shittah-tree,  and  the  myrtle,  and  the  oil 
tree  "  (Is.  xli.  19).  It  was  probably  the  only  avail- 
able wood  in  the  wilderness.  This  tree  yields  the 
gum  arable  of  commerce,  from  incisions  cut  deeply 
in  the  bark.  Probably  the  burning-bush  of  Moses 
(Ex.  iii.  2),  called  seneh,  was  the  shittim  (or 
acacia)  tree.  The  last  camping  ground  of  Israel 
was  on  the  plains  of  Shittim.  The  Arabs  use  the 
gum  for  food.  The  bark  is  very  astringent,  and 
used  in  tanning  leather.  The  wood  is  very  hard, 
close-grained,  of  a  fine  brown  color,  excellent  for 
cabinet-work.  It  grows  in  dry  places,  where  no 
other  tree  can  live.    It  is  not  the  acMia  of  this

a  Persian  city,  and  Its  metropolis  (^schylus  and 
Herodotus),  although  the  building  of  the  palace  is 
credited  to  Darius.  Alexander  found  there  $60,- 
000,000,  and  all  the  regalia  of  the  great  king.  After 
this,  Susa  was  n(\glected  for  Babylon.  Now  called 
Sus,  a  vast  ruin  between  the  Eulseus  and  Shapur. 
E.  and  W.  of  the  city,  a  few  ms.  were  the  rivers 
Coprates  and  Choasp'es.  The  water  of  the  Choas- 
1  pes  (now  Kerkliah)  was  thought  to  be  peculiarly 
1  healthful,  and  was  the  only  water  drank  by  the 
kings,  at  home  or  on  journeys  (Herod  i.  188),  and 
it  is  now  prized  above  all  other  river-water  by  the

SIC'YON  (^market— weeUy?),  (1  Mace.  xv.  23). 
A  later  city  built  on  the  acropolis  of  an  ancient 
city  of  the  same  name,  near  the  eastern  end  of  the 
Corinthian  Gulf,  about  two  miles  from  the  sea, 
near  a  range  of  mountains,  which  were  terraced, 
and  rent  with  gorges.  In  the  time  of  the  Macca- 
bees it  was  the  most  important  Koman  possession 
in  Greece. 

SID'DIM  (the  vale  of),  (Gen.  xiv.  3,  8, 10).  The 
Hebrew  words  Emek'has  Siddim  mean  a  plain  cut 
up  by  stony  channels.  Located  by  some  scholars 
at  the  north  end  of  the  Dead  Sea. 

As  an  emek  it  resembled  Jezreel;  and  therefore 
a  suitable  place  for  the  combat  mentioned  in  tlie 
text  (ver.  8) ;  but  having  a  number  of  pitch-pits, 
or,  as  Josephus  says.  Wells  of  Asphalt  (Ant.  i.9), 
and  who  says  the  site  is  under  the  Dead  Sea 
(Asphaltitis).  More  probably  near  it.  See  GEOiiO- 
GY  and  Sea. 

If  the  Salt  Mountain,  Usdum  (see  Sodom)  is  a 
recent  elevation,  then  the  cities  may  have  been  in 
the  plain  at  the  S.  end  of  the  Dead  Sea,  which  would 
then  have  been  the  Vale  of  Siddim . 

SI'DE  (1  Mace.  xv.  2.1).  A  colony  of  Cumaeans 
on  the  coast  of  Pamphylia.  Tiie  navy  of  Antio- 
chus  was  made  up  of  ships  from  Side  and  Aradus, 
Tyre  and  Sidon,  and  the  fleet  was  stationed  at  Side 
on  the  eve  of  the  battle  with  the  fleet  from  Rhodes 
(Livy  37,  23).  Its  ruins  indicate  former  wealth. 
The  theater  of  the  Roman  time  was  one  of  the 
largest  in  Asia,  seating  15,000.  It  was  used  as  a 
fort  in  the  middle  ages.  There  was  an  Agora  (as 
at  Athens"),  180  ft. "in  diameter,  surrounded  by  a 
double  row  of  columns,  and  a  pedestal  for  a  statue 
in  the  centre,  and  a  temjile  on  the  south  side 
(mentioned  by  Strabo).  The  harbor  was  closed 
in,  and  was  1500  by  600  ft.  in  extent,  with  docks 
for  unloading  ships. 

SI'DON  (fishing).  ZiDON  (Phoenician  Tsidon), 
(Gen.  X.  15, 19).  Great  Zidon  (Josh.  xi.  8).  Sidon 
(Matt.  xi.  21;  Mark  iii.  8;  Luke  vi.  17).  On  the 
coast  of  the  Mediterranean  Sea,  in  the  narrow 
Phoenician  plain  (2  miles),  under  the  range  of  Le- 
banon, to  which  it  once  gave  its  own  name  (Jos. 
Ant.  V.  3,  1).  The  city  is  built  on  the  northern 
slope  of  a  promontory  that  juts  out  into  the  sea, 

Eointing  S.  W.;  and  the  citadel  is  on  the  hight 
ehind  it.  Zidon  was  the  first-born  of  Canaan, 
and  probably  the  city  is  an  older  one  than  Tyre, 
and  the  Phoenicians  are  (often)  called  Sidonians 
(never  Tyrians)  in  Josh.  xiii.  6;  Judg.  xviii.  7,  etc. 
Skilled  workmen  were  their  special  pride,  not 
traders  (1  K.  v.  6).  The  prize  given  to  the  swift- 
est runner  by  Achilles  was  a  large  silver  bowl, 
made  at  Sidon  (Homer,  II.  xxiii.  743).  Menelaus 
gave  Telemachus  a  most  beautiful  and  valuable 
present,  "a  divine  work,  a  bowl  of  silver  with  a 
gold  rim,  the  work  of  Hephfestus,  and  a  gift  from 
king  Phsedimus  of  Sidon"  (Od.  iv.  614).  Homer 
mentions  the  beautifully  embroidered  robes  of 
Andromache,  brought  from  Sidon.  Pliny  men- 
tions the  glass  factories  (v.  17). 

Under  the  Persians,  Sidon  attained  to  great 
wealth  and  importance.  To  live  carelessly,  after 
their  manner,  became  a  proverb  (Judg.  xvii.  7). 
The  prize  in  a  boat-race,  witnessed  by  Xerxes  at 
Abydos,  was  won  by  Sidonians;  and  when  he  re- 
viewed his  fleet  he  sat  under  a  golden  canopy  in  a 
Sidonian  galley ;  and  when  he  assembled  his  of- 
ficers in  state  tne  king  of  the  Sidonians  sat  in  the 


SILVER 


first  seat.  It  was  almost  utterly  destroyed  by  the 
Persians,  B.  C.  351.  Being  rebuilt,  it  opened  its 
gates  to  Alexander.  The  Jews  never  conquered 
the  city,  and  so  far  failed  of  the  promise.  Strabo 
said  there  was  the  best  opportunity  for  acquiring 
a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  of  arithmetic  and 
astronomy,  and  of  all  other  branches  of  philoso- 
phy. At  this  time  Greek  was  probably  the  lan- 
guage of  the  best  society. 

It  is  the  most  northern  city  visited  by  Jesus,  and 
is  about  50  miles  from  Nazareth.  Now  called 
Saide.  The  whole  neighborhood  is  one  great  gar- 
den, filled  with  every  kind  of  fruit-beanng  trees, 
nourished  by  streams  from  Lebanon.  Its  chief 
exports  are  silk,  cotton  and  nutgalls.  A  mission- 
station  of  Americans  are  working  among  5000 
people. 

There  are  many  ancient  sepulchres  in  the  rocks 
at  the  base  of  the  mountain  east  of  Sidon,  and 
sepulchral  caves  in  the  plain.  In  one  of  these  caves, 
in  1855,  was  discovered  one  of  the  most  beautiful 
and  interesting  Phoenician  monuments  in  exist- 
ence. It  is  a  sarcophagus  of  black  syenite,  with 
a  lid  carved  in  human  form,  bandaged  like  a 
mummy,  the  face  being  bare.  There  is  an  in- 
scription in  Phoenician  on  the  lid,  and  another  on 
the  head.  The  king  of  the  Sidonians  is  mentioned 
in  them,  and  it  is  said  that  his  mother  was  a  priest- 
ess of  Ashtoreth.  It  is  supposed  to  belong  to  the 
11th  centurv  B.  C.  It  is  now  in  the  Louvre,  Paris. 
See  p.  192.  " 

SIEVE  (Is.  xxx.  28).  "To  sift  as  wheat "  (Luke

trials  and  afflictions. 

SI'HON  (sweejnnff  away).  King  of  the  Amorites 
(Num.  xxi.  21). 

SIHOR  (UacJc).  Correctlv  Shihor.  The  Nile. 
(Sanscrit,  Nilah,  dark-blue).  The  water  of  the 
Nile  is  dark  with  mud,  like  our  Ohio  or  Mississippi. 
The  Egyptian  name  was  Yeor.  (The  name  of 
Egypt  was  Kem,  black).  The  present  name  in 
Arabic  is  BaJir  el  Azrak,  dark-blue  river.  Shihor  is 
the  name  of  the  brook  of  Egypt  (  Wady  el  Arish), 
which  is  mentioned  as  the  south  boundary  of 
David's  kingdom  (1  Chr.  xiii.  5;  Josh.  xiii.  2,  3). 
See  Nile. 

SI'LAS.  Contraction  of  Silvanus,  one  of  the 
chief  men  among  the  first  disciples  at  Jerusalem 
(Acts  XV.  22) .  fie  is  mentioned  in  2  Cor.  ii.  9,  i. 
19;  1  Pet.  X.  12;  Acts  xvi.  19,  25;  Phil.  iv.  10. 

SILK  (Heb.  jieshi),  (Ez.  xvi.  10, 13) .  Silk  in  the 
time  of  the  Ptolemies  was  sold  for  its  weight  in 
gold.  It  sometimes  came  in  skeins,  and  was  woven 
into  a  thin  light  gauze.  It  is  not  known  how  early 
or  extensively  the  Jews  used  it  (Rev.  xviii.  12; 
Gen.  xli.  42). 

SIL'LA.  Wliere  Joash,  the  king,  was  killed  (2

SILO'AH  (dart).  SiLOAM  (sent),  (Heb.  SiLO- 
ACH),  (Neh.  iii.  15).  Arabic,  Silwan.  One  of  the 
few  undisputed  localities  around  Jerusalem.  The 
water  was  "sweet  and  abundant"  in  Josephus' 
day  (B.  J.  v.  4,  1).  It  is  in  the  Tyropoeon  valley, 
200  ft.  from  the  Kidron.  There  are  no  less  than  40 
natural  springs  within  a  circle  of  10  miles  around 
Jerusalem.  The  water  flows  out  of  a  small  artifi- 
cial basin,  under  the  cliff,  into  a  reservoir  53  ft. 
long  by  18  ft.  wide  and  19  ft.  deep.  It  has  been 
lately  proved,  by  exploring,  that  the  water  flows 
from  the  Virgin's  fountain  to  Siloam;  and  there  is 
a  remarkable  ebb  and  flow,  which  varies  in  fre- 
quency with  the  season  and  supply  of  water  (John 
ix.  7).  The  village  of  Siloam  (Silwan)  is  not 
mentioned  in  Scripture,  and  is  probably  modern. 
It  is  poorly  built,  and  occupies  the  site  of  Solo- 
mon's idol-shrines  (1  K.  xi.  7;  2  K.  xxiii.  13).

POOL  OF  81L0AM. 

In  the  wilderness  Simeon  was  on  the  south  side 
of  the  Tabernacle.  The  only  great  name  of  tlie 
tribe  on  record  is  that  of  the  widow  Judith,  tlie 
herome  of  the  apocryphal  Book  of  Judith,  where 
she  appears  as  an  ideal  type  of  piety,  beauty, 
courage,  and  chastity.  There  were  18  cities,  witli 
their  surroundings,  given  to  Simeon  out  of  the 
portion  allotted  to  Judah,  including  the  famous 
well  of  Beersheba,  and  one  of  which  (Zllda<^) 
became  tlie  private  property  of  David,  as  a  present 
from  Achisli  the  Philistine.  A  part  of  the  tril)e 
(500  men)  took  possession  of  a  district  in  Mount 
Seir,  where  tlu^y  were  still  living  after  the  return 
from  the  Captivity  (1  Chr.  iv.  42,  43).

Wilderness  of  Wandering. 

SIN'AI.  Mountain  and  desert 
forming  a  part  of  the  peninsula 
between  the  gulfs  of  Suez  and 
Akabah.  The  district  of  Sinai 
is  near  the  center  of  the  tri- 
angular space  between  the  two 
arms  of  the  Red  Sea.  (See 
maps,  pps.  54-55).  This  pen- 
insula is  formed  of  granite, 
Willi  dykes  of  porphyry  and 
greenstone,  without  a  trace  of 
volcanic  rocks.  It  is  separated 
from  the  limestone  district  of 
Et  Tyh  (see  Wilderness  op 
THE  Wandering),  by  the  nar- 
row plain  of  Er  E'amleh,  a 
desert  of  red  sand.  There  are 
3  mountain  groups :  Serbal  on 
the  W.,  Sinai  in  the  center, 
and  Katerin  S.  of  Sinai;  all 
nearly  bare  of  foliage,  but 
peculiarly  beautiful  in  colors 
the  most  varied.  A  belt  of 
sand  borders  the  shore  of  the 
two  arms  of  the  Red  Sea.  The 
granite  is  the  same  kind  as  the 
red  sienite,  found  at  Assouan, 
on  the  Nile,  of  which  the  tem- 
ples in  Egypt  were  built.  In 
Sinai,  itself,  the  base  is  of  a 
coarser  quality  than  the  peak, 
which  has  more  quartz.  Mt. 
Katerin  is  nearly  all  porphyry.  Ther(>  is  a  differ- 
ence of  opinion 'as  to  which 'peak  is  the  Sinai  of 
Moses  and  the  Lnw;  some  claiming  Serbal  with  its 
ancient  inscriptions  (see  Written  Valley,  p. 
— ),  and  others  Sufsafa,  with  its  convent,  pit,  and 
chapel.  Both  answer  some  of  the  requirements 
of  the  text,  but  neither  all  of  the  points.  See  Ex- 
odus. Wilderness. 

SINCERE'  (Gr.  ridolos,  guileless,  ptire,  1  Pet.  ii.  2).

SLAVE  (Heb.  ebed,  Gr.  somata).  Servitude,  un- 
der the  Mosaic  law,  was  more  that  of  bondman 
than  slave.  In  the  patriarchal  period  the  servitude 
was  of  two  kinds :  those  slaves  or  servants  born  in 
the  hon.se,  and  those  wno  were  purchased  or  taken 


in  war  (Gen.  xvii.  13).  Those  born  in  the  house 
often  enjoyed  the  utmost  confidence  and  privilege. 
This  was  illustrated  in  the  case  of  Abraham  com- 
missioning his  servant  to  select  a  wife  for  Isaac. 
Servitude  under  the  law  was  much  restricted  (Ex. 
xxi.  16;  Deut.  xxiv).  Debt,  or  poverty,  were  causes 
for  servitude  (Lev.  xxv.  39,  40) ;  also,  it  was  the 
penalty  for  theft  (Ex.  xxii.  1-14),  the  servitude 
ceasing  when  an  equivalent  of  labor  had  been  paid. 
All  Hebrew  bondmen  were  released  in  the  year  of 
Jubilee  (Lev.  xxv.  47-54).  Foreign  slaves  were 
not  so  treated.  They  could  become  the  property  of 
the  Hebrews,  as  captives  of  war  (Deut.  xx.  14),  or 
by  purchase  from  the  dealers  (Lev.  xxv.  44).  The 
slave-trade  is  mentioned  as  being  carried  on  with 
Tyre  by  Javan  (Greeks),  Tubal  and  Meshech  (Ez. 
xxvii.  13).  Joseph  was  the  first  person  recorded 
as  having  been  sold  into  slavery  (Gen.  xxxvii.  27, 
28).  Slaves  were  employed  upon  menial  work 
(Lev.  xxv.  39)  in  the  household,  and  in  attend- 
ance upon  the  master.  It  was  a  duty  of  female 
slaves  to  grind  corn  (Ex.  xi.  5;  Job  xxxi.  10;  Is. 
xlvii.  2). 

SLEEP.  Slumber  or  repose  of  the  body  (Gen. 
xxviii.  11).  Used  to  denote  Death  (Jer.  Ii.  39), 
or  spiritual  torpor  (Rom.  xiii.  11). 

SLIME.  Heb.  hemar,  asphaltos  and  bitu- 
men (Gen.  xi.  3).  Found  on  and  near  the 
Dead  Sea.  It  is  commonly  found  in  a 
solid  state,  but  when  heated  and  used  as 
a  mortar,  it  becomes  hard  as  the  rocks  it 
cements  together. 

SLING.  An  instrument  much  used  be- 
fore the  invention  of  fire-arms  ( Judg.  xx. 
16;  1  Sam.  xvii.  48-50). 

SMITH.  An  artificer  in  brass,  iron,  etc. ; 
first  mentioned  in  Gen.  iv.  22.  See  Handi- 
craft. 

SMYR'NA  (Rev.  ii.  8-11).  Designed  by 
Alexander  the  Great,  and  built  by  his  suc- 
cessors Antigonus  and  Lysimachus,  near 
the  site  of  the  ancient  city  of  the  same 
name  (which  had  been  destroyed  by  the 
Lydians  400  years  before).  It  stood  at  the 
head  of  a  gulf  of  the  ^gean  Sea,  by  the 
mouth  of  the  river  Meles,  having  a  range 
of  mountains  on  three  sides  of  it.  Tiberius 
granted  the  city  permission  to  erect  a  tem- 
ple in  honor  of  the  Roman  emperor  and 
senate.  John  (Rev.  ii.  9)  probably  referred 
to  the  pagan  rites  in  his  letter  to  the  church 
in  Smyrna.    See  Seven  Churches. 

The  only  ancient  ruins  are  on  the  moun- 
tains, south.  On  the  summit  is  a  ruined 
castle.  So  convenient  has  it  been  to  carry 
away  antiquities  that  Smyrna  has  been 
nearly  stripped.  Van  Lennep,  the  mis- 
sionary, found  a  great  number  of  small  ar- 
ticles in  the  dirt-neap  of  the  ancient  city; 
rings,  seals,  lamps,  household  gods,  and 
many  other  articles,  more  or  less  broken 
(except  the  seals),  and  probably  thrown 
away  as  rubbish,  or  lost.  In  the  time  of 
Strabo  it  was  one  of  the  most  beautifiU 
cities  in  all  Asia  (Minor).  There  were  a 
library  and  museum,  with  grand  porticoes, 
dedicated  to  Homer  (claimed  as  a  native) ; 
an  Odeum,  and  a  temple  to  the  Olympian 
Zeus.  The  Olympian  games  were  cele- 
brated. Polycarp  was  martyred  here,  be- 
ing condemned  by  the  Jews  also. 

SNAIL  (Heb.  shablul).  In  Lev.  xi.  30 
a  sort  of  lizard;  and  in  Ps.  Iviu.  8  the  com- 
mon slug  or  snail  without  a  shell,  which 
consumes  away  and  dies  by  depositing  its  slime 
wherever  it  passes.  1.  Shablul.  The  Septuagint 
says  "melted  wax"  in  Ps.  hii.  9  (8  A.  V). — 2. 
Chomet.  The  name  of  an  unclean  animal  in  Lev. 
xi.  30.    Perhaps  a  lizard  or  a  chameleon.

SNAEE  (Heb.  mokesh,  pah).   A  noose  for  catch- 
ing birds  (Job  xi.  24). 
SNOW  (lleb.  sheleg;   dial,  telag;  Gr.  chion). 

Is  often  alliuled  to  for  its  whiteness  Ex.  iv.  6;  Num. 

xii.  10;  in  Prov.  xxv.  13,  "as  the  cold  of  snow  in 

time  of  harvest  "  alludes  to  its  use  in  cool  drinks 

for  the  reapers.     The  snow  lies  deep  in  the  ravines 

of  Lebanon  until  late  in  the  summer.   The  summit 

of  Ilerinon  perpetually  glistens  with  snow.    Snow, 

as  actually  tailing,  is  alluded  to  but  twice  (2  Sam. 

xxiii.  20;  I  Macc^  xiii.  22).     Job  refers  to  its  sup- 
posed cleansing  effects  when  melted  (ix.  30),  and 

to  the  rapiil  melting  under  the  rays  of  the  sun 

(xxiv.  19),  and  floods  following  (vi.  16).     In  Ps. 

Ixviii.   14,  thiek-falling   snow   is  al- 

ludi'd  to  as  a  synonyme  for  a  host 

flying   from   defeat,  probably  with 

white  dresses  or  turbans.    Snow  lies 

deep  on  Lebanon  and  Hernion  late 

in   the  summer,  from  wlienee  it  is 

carried  to  the  cities  for  cooling  drinks. 

It  never  leaves  the  highest  peaks  of 

Lebanon  or  Ilermon.   (See  Hermon, 

Climate). 
SNUFFERS.      (Heb.    1.    Mezame- 

ROTH,  funrps).    Snuffers  for  lamps 

(1 K.  v'ii.  50).— 2.  Melkahayim  (Ex. 

xxxvii.  23),  tongs. 
SO  (Heb.  sevech  or  sevec).     A 

deity  represented  in  the  form  of  a 

crocodile.    So,  King  of  Egypt,  made 

an  alliance  with  Hosea,  king  of  Is- 
rael, and  promised  him  assistance, 

but  was  unable  to  prevent  the  king 

of  AssjTia  from  taking  Samaria,  B. 

C.  721  (2  K.  xvii.  4).    In  the  remains 

of  Sennacherib's  palace,  recently  dis- 
entombed, among  the  seals  was  found 

one  of  So,  well  known  to  students  of 

Egyptian  antiquities.    See  page  131. 
SOAP  (Heb.  borith),  (Jer.  ii.  22). 

A  term  for  any  substance  of  cleansing 

qualities.      The  soap  familiar  to  us 

was  unkno^vn  to  the  Egyptians,  and 

probably  to  the  ancients  generally. 

They  used   certain   vegetables  and 

their  ashes  for  cleansing  linen,  etc. 

Numerous  plants,  yielding  alkalies, 

exist    in    Palestine,    which,    when 

pounded,  serve  as  a  substitute  for 

soap.    The  gilloo  or  "soap-plant"  of 

Egypt  is  used  in  the  manufacture 

of  soap  at  Joppa. 
SO  CHO  (1  Chr.  iv.  18).     SOCOH. 
SO  CHOH  {branches),  (1  K.  iv.  10).

iceikah,  in  Wady  Sumt,  3}i  ms.  S.  W. 

of  Jerusalem.— 2.  (ib.  xv.  48).    Ju-

Eah  Shuweikah  in  Wady  KJudil,  10 

ms.  S.  W.  of  Hebron  (1  Chr.  iv.  18). 
SOD.    The  preterite  of  seethe,  to  burn  or  cook. 
SO'DI   {confident  of  Jah).     Father  of   Gaddiel 
(Num.  xiii.  10). 

SOD'OM  {mneyard  or  burning).  One  of  the  most 
ancient  cities  of  Canaan,  in  the  Jordan  valley,  the 
chief  of  the  five  cities  (Gen.  x.  19).  The  plain 
was  once  like  a  garden,  and  was  chosen  by  Lot, 
when  Abram  chose  Canaan  (ib.  xhi.  10).  As  the 
two  patriarchs  were  standing  on  a  hight  between 
r>ethel  and  Ai  they  could  see  Jericho  and  the  Jor- 
dan plain  (called  kikkar  in  the  Hebrew,  a  term 
pecuhar  to  this  district  alone);  while  they  could 
not  see  the  south  end  of  the  Dead  Sea.  But  op- 
posed to  this  is  the  event  of  Abraham  looking 
toward  the  plain,  and  seeing  the  smoke  go  up  as 
from  a  furnace  (xix.  28).  And  that  from  no 
hight  near  Hebron  can  the  Jordan  plain  near 
Jericho  be  seen,  while  the  south  end  of  the  Dead 


Sea  and  the  Lisan  are  distinctly  visible.  There 
is  a  salt-mountain  called  Usdum  (Sodom)  on  the 
S.  W.  shore  of  the  Dead  Sea,  which  may  have  in- 
herited and  preserved  the  name  of  the  ancient 
citv,  but  th(>  site  of  that  city  is  lost.    See  Uzdum. 

SOD'OMITE  {one  from  Sodom).  One  of  those 
who  practiced  their  pecuUar  rehgious  rite  (Deut. 
xxiii.  17;  1  K.  xiv.  24). 

SOLDEB.  That  the  ancient  Hebrews  were  ac- 
quainted with  the  use  of  solder  is  evident  from 
Is.  xli.  7.  Nothing  is  known  as  to  the  composition 
of  the  solder,  but,  probably,  lead  was  one  of  the 
materials  used. 

SOL'DIEE.    See  Armor.   Soldiers  are  first  men- 


SOtOMON  ON  HIS  THRONE. 


tioned  in  2  Chr.  xxv.  13;  and  in  Ezra  (viii.  22), 
and  Isaiah  (xv.  4),  and  many  times  in  the  N.  T. 
Paul  alludes  to  fighting  as  a  soldier  (1  Cor.  ix.  26), 
as  also  James  (iv.  2),  as  well  as  nearly  every  wi'iter 
in  the  Scriptures.  The  Christian's  life  is  the  life  of 
a  soldier,  constantly  in  the  armor  of  faith,  fighting 
against  evil. 

SOL'OMON.  In  Hebrew,  Shelomoh  (th^  peace- 
ful). The  youngest  son  of  David  and  Bathsheba 
(1  Chr.  iii.  5).  He  was  educated  under  tfie  care  of 
Nathan,  the  prophet,  in  all  that  the  priests,  Levites, 
and  prophets  had  to  teach,  and  was  named  by 
him  Jedidiah  {loved  of  Jah),  (2  Sam.  xii.  25).  He 
was  only  looked  upon  as  the  heir  of  the  tlirone 
after  Absalom's  revolt  and  death;  and  only  after 
Adonijaii  endeavored  to  seize  the  throne,  Solomon 
was  anointed  by  Nathan,  and  solemnly  acknowl- 
edged as  king,  at  the  age  of  19  or  20,  1015  B.  C.  (1

K.  i.  5).    David  died  soon  after.    From  that  time 

his  history  is  nearly  that  of  the  nation.  It  is  sup- 
posed by  some  that  his  personal  appearance  is  the 
subject  of  the  Shulamite's  language  in  the  Canti- 
cles (Cant.  V.  10).  His  great  wealth,  which  had 
been  accumulated  by  David  through  many  years, 
cannot  be  computed  by  our  system,  because  the 
figures  in  the  original  accounts  of  the  sum  set  apart 
for  the  Temple  are  uncertain,  and  vary  in  the  two 
records :  in  1  Chr.  xxii.  14,  the  sum  being  stated  at 
100,000  talents  of  gold,  and  1,000,000  of  silver,  and 
in  chapter  xxix.  4,  at  3,000  talents  of  gold,  and 
7,000  of  silver.    The  sources  of  this  wealth  were 


H  il'SF.-TOrS. 


many,  for  Solomon  was  a  merchant  as  well  as  a 
monarch  (2  Chr.  viii.  Ix.  10).  The  exports  weiT, 
wheat,  barley,  oil,  wine,  wool,  silk,  hides,  fruit, 
and  other  articles.  His  ships  (in  care  of  or  assisted 
by  the  Tyrians)  navigated  the  Mediterranean  and 
the  Red  Sea,  and  to  the  regions  beyond ;  trading 
in  gold,  precious  stones,  ivory,  apes,  spice,  and 
scented  woods.  Besides  the  ships,  caravans  of 
camels  were,  probably,  used  across  the  Syrian  des- 
ert, and  to  the  Red  Sea  and  Egypt :  wliich  called 
for  the  building  of  Tadmor  (Palmyra),  and  the 
fortifying  of  'fhapsacus,  on  the  Euphrates,  and 
Eziongeber  on  the  Red  Sea. 

The  visit  of  the  Queen  of  Sheba  was  one  of  the 
results  of  this  commercial  intercourse,  and  her 
very  rich  presents  show  the  extreme  value  of  their 
trade  (1  K.  x.) 

Solomon's  fame  was  established  by  the  building 
of  the  great  Temple  at  Jerusalem  (1  K.  vi.);  but 
besides  that  he  built  his  own  palace,  the  queen's 
palace,  the  house  of  the  forest  of  Lebanon,  a  grand 
porch,  and  the  porch  of  judgment  (law  court). 
He  had  increased  the  walls  of  the  city,  and  forti- 
fied Millo  and  other  strongholds  in  different  parts 
of  the  land  (2  Chr.  xxxii.  5,  viii.). 


In  the  work  of  building  the  Temple  especiall 
(and  probably  in  all  others)  he  employed  slaves 
of  whom  the  Jews  held  at  that  time  no  less  than 
153,000,  who  were,  it  may  be,  Hittites  (2  Chr.  ii. 
17).  In  this  he  followed  the  example  of  the  Pha- 
raohs, as  he  did  also  in  state  ceremony  and  display. 
As  soon  as  Nathan  and  Zadok,  his  father's  coun- 
selors, were  dead,  he  began  to  lower  the  standard 
of  religious  purity,  by  building  shrines  to  heathen 
gods,  although  two  sons  of  Nathan  and  a  son  of 
Zadok  were  among  his  advisers  (1  K.  xi.  33). 
(See  Jerusalem).  This  grant  of  indulgence  to 
his  heathen  wives  might  have  had  a  political  mo- 
tive (iii.  16).  It  is  quite  probable  that 
Solomon  himself  was  a  believer  in,  if 
not  an  actual  practicer  of,  the  sooth- 
sayer's or  magician's  arts,  for  which 
he  has,  from  his  time  to  the  present, 
had  a  reputation  everywhere  in  the 
East. 

It  is  in  accordance  with  Eastern 
royalty  that  Solomon  sometimes  acted 
as  a  judge  in  cases  of  oppression,  as 
in  the  case  of  the  two  children;  and  it 
maybe  that  his  porch  of  judgment  con- 
tained his  stated  council  and  judicial 
chamber. 

His  harem  was  established  on  a 
magnificent  scale;  and  he  made  a  grand 
display  of  the  chief  luxury  of  wealth, 
in  the  number  of  his  women,  and  es- 
pecially in  marrying  an  Egyptian  prin- 
cess (xi.).  By  these  practices,  and  the 
idolatries  which  his  foreign  wives  led 
him  into,  he  lost  the  hearts  of  the 
prophets,  and  lost  for  his  posterity  the 
rule  of  the  ten  tribes.  The  most  of 
this  evil  is  charged  by  some  to  the  in- 
fluence of  his  mother,  Bathsheba,  who 
was  grand-daughter  to  Ahithophel, 
who  was  renowned  through  all  Israel 
for  worldly  wisdom  and  political  sa- 
gacity. 

It  is  to  be  regretted  that  we  have  not 
more  of  the  writings  of  Solomon,  and 
also  that  we  do  not  even  know  cer- 
tainly what  he  wrote  of  the  books  that 
are  now  attributed  to  him.  After  the 
return  from  the  Captivity,  the  Rabbis 
of  the  Great  Synagogue  made  extracts 
from  the  well-known  books  of  law,  his- 
tory, poetry,  and  proverbs,  accepting 
and  preserving  only  a  small  part.  These 
represent  in  the  Canticles  the  young 
man,  passionate  but  pure ;  in  the 
Proverbs,  the  middle-aged  man,  with  a  practical, 
prudential  thought,  searching  into  the  depths  of 
man's  heart,  resting  all  duty  on  the  fear  of  God; 
and  in  the  Preacher,  the  old  man,  who  had  become 
a  moralist,  having  passed  through  the  stages  of  a 
philosopher  and  of  a  mystic,  now  made  confession 
of  his  "crime  of  sense,"  and  he  could  only  realize 
that  weariness  which  sees  aU  earthly  things  only 
as  vanity  of  vanities. 

The  immense  influence  which  Solomon  produced, 
on  his  own  and  later  ages,  is  seen  in  the  fact  that 
men  have  claimed  his  great  name  for  even  the  no- 
blest thoughts  of  other  authors — as  in  the  Book  of 
Wisdom,  and  possibly  in  Ecclesiastes — and  have 
woven  an  endless  fabric  of  fantastic  fables,  Jew- 
ish, Arabian,  and  Christian.  Spells  and  charms  of 
his  invention  (of  which  the  famous  seal  of  Solomon 
is  an  example)  are  supposed  to  have  a  power  over 
disease,  and  evil  spirits,  which  he  conquered  and 
cast  into  the  sea;  and  magicians  have  "swarmed" 
in  the  Old  World,  who  mingled  his  name  in  their 
incantations.  His  wisdom  interpreted  the  speech 
of  birds  and  beasts;  and  he  knew  the  hidden  vir- 
tues (mystic)  of  plants.  His  magic  ring  revealed 
to  him  the  past,  the  present,  and  the  future.    And

finally,  all  vast  works,  especially  of  architecture, 
of  past  time,  whose  history  is  lost,  are  credited  to

The  New  Testament  does  not  add  to  our  know- 
ledge of  Solomon,  but  gives  us  his  true  measure  as 
a  man  and  a  king,  in  a  single  sentence,  which  de- 
clares that  in  the  humblest  work  of  (lod,  as  a  lily, 
there  is  a  grace,  and  beauty,  and  jnirity,  not  equaled 
by  all  Solomon's  glory  (Matt.  vi.  29). 

SOLOMON'S  SERVANTS,  CHILDREN  OF  (Ezr.

SON  (Ileb.  BEN;  Gr.  huios'). 
A  male  child  (Gen.  xvii.  16, 
19),  or  any  remote  descendant 
(Gen.  xix.  5),  or  a  son,  by 
adoption  (Gen.  Ixviii.  5),  or 
by  law  (Ruth  iv.  17),  or  edu- 
cation (1  Sam.  iii.  6),  or  con- 
version (Tit.  i.  4).  And  it 
also  denotes  a  mental  or  moral 
resemblance  (Judg.  xix.  22). 
Men  are  sometimes  called 
sons  of  God  (Luke  ii.  38)  in 
a  similar  sense. 

SON  OF  GOD.  A  peculiar 
appellation  of  Christ,  express- 
ing His  eternal  relationship 
to  the  Father  (Ps.  ii.  7). 
Christ  always  claimed  to  be 
the  only  begotten  son  of  the 
Father  (Matt.  iv.  3,  viii.  29, 
xxvii.  54);  and  the  Jews 
rightly  understood  him  as 
thus  making  himself  equal 
with  God  (John  v.  18,  x.  SO- 
BS). 

SON  OF  MAN.  A  title  of  Christ,  assumed  by 
Himself  in  His  humiliation  (John  i.  51).  It  is  ap- 
plied to  Him  more  than  eighty  times  in  the  N.  T. 
See  History  of  the  Books.

places  David  visited  (1  Sam.  xxx.  27). 

SOWER.    See  Agriculture. 

SPAIN.  The  ancient  name  of  both  Spain  and 
Portugal,  and  a  Roman  province  in  Paul's  time, 
containing  many  Jews.  It  is  not  certain  that  Paul 
carried  out  his  intention  of  visiting  Spain  (Rom. 
XX.  24,  28),  since  neither  he  nor  any  other  writer  of 
his  time  has  left  any  evidence  of  such  a  visit. 

SPAR'ROW  (Heb.  zippor;  Or.  strmithion).  (Ps. 
Ixxxiv.  3;  Matt.  x.  29,  31).  A  small  bird,  with  quill 
and  tailfeathers  brown;  its  body  gray  and  black; 
resembling  the  small  chirping-bird :  it  is  bold  and 
familiar  in  its  habits.  These  birds  are  still  numer- 
ous, troublesome,  and  cheap,  in  Jerusalem  (Luke 
xii.  6).  ^ 

SPAR'TA.  A  celebrated  city  of  ancient  Greece, 
and  the  capital  of  Laconia.  It  was  long  the  rival 
of  Athens.  Situated  in  a  valley,  on  the  Eurotas,  20 
ms.  from  the  sea.  The  remarkable  correspondence 
related  in  2  Mace.  v.  9,  probably  had  no  founda- 
tion in  history. 


SO'REK  {noble  vine),  THE  VALLEY  OF.  Sara-

SO 'TAX  (one  tcho  turns  aside).  Ancestor  of  a 
family  of  Solomon's  servants  who  returned  from 
Captivity  (Ezr.  ii.  65). 


SOUL.  Heb.  1.  nedibah  (Job  xxx.  15),  ele- 
vated and  happy  state.— 2.  nefesh,  more  than  500 
times  (Gen.  ii.  7,  xii.  5,  IS).  The  meanings  are  :  a. 
breath  (Job.  xii.  IS);  b.  vital  spirit,  soul  (Gen. 
XXXV.  18) ;  c.  life  (Ex.  iv.  19) ;  d.  ghost  (Job  xi. 
20);  e.  pleasure  (Ps.  cv.  22).— 3.  neshamah, 
breath ;  also  blast  (2  Sam,  ii.  16 ;  Job  iv.  9) ; 
"spirit,"  "inspiration." — 4.  Gr.  psuche  (Matt.  x. 
28),  the  vital  breath,  life;  properly,  the  soul. 

The  ancients  supposed  the  soul,  or  rather  the  ani- 
mating principle  of  hfe,  to  reside  in  the  breath. 
Hence  the  Hebrew  and  Greek  words  where  they 
refer  to  man  are  translated  "soul"  and  rendered 
"Ufe"  or  "breath"  (Gen.  ii.  7).  The  immortality 
of  the  soul  is  a  fundamental  doctrine  of  revealed 
religion.  The  ancient  patriarchs  lived  and  died  per- 
suaded of  this  truth,  and  it  was  in  the  hope  of 
another  life  that  they  received  the  promises  (Gen. 
1.  S3;  Num.  xxiii.  10).  To  save  the  souls  of  men, 
Christ  gave  himself  freely  to  death. 

SPEAR'MEN  (Gr.  dexiolaboi,  those  taking  the 
right).  200  formed  part  of  the  escort  which  accom- 
panied Paul,  in  his  march  from  Jerusalem  to 
Csesarea  (Acts  xxiii.  23). 

SPICE,  SPI'CERY,  SPI'CES.  1.  (Heb.  basam,  bb- 
SEM,  Cant.  V.  1).  Sweet  spices,  incense,  or  spices; 
a  general  term  to  denote  those  aromatic  substances 
which  were  used  in  the  preparation  of  the  anoint- 
ing oil,  the  incense-offerings  (Ex.  xxv.  6.  xxxi.  11). 

SPI'DER  (Heb.  akkabish),  (Job viii.  14;  Is.  lix. 
5).  Both  passages  allude  to  the  fragile  nature  of 
the  spider's  web.  They  are  found  in  every  habita- 
ble portion  of  the  globe,  but  are  largest  in  warm 
climates. 

SPIKE'NARD  (Heb.  nerd,  Gr.  nardos).  A  highly 
perf luned  ointment,  prepared  from  a  plant  in  India 
growing  in  short  spikes.    Prized  by  the  ancients, 


flirl,  rcde,  push;  e,  i,  O,  silent;  9  as  b;  ^h  as  sh;  -o.-ch  as  k;  g  as  j;  g  as  in  get;  8  as  z;  z  as  gi;  n  as  in  linger,  link;  th  as  ia  thine.

SPIN'NING.  Is  mentioned  in  Ex.  xxxv.  25,  26; 
Matt.  vi.  28;  Lulie  xii.  27.  The  distaif  round 
which  the  flax  or  wool  for  spinning  was  wound, 
and  spindle  on  which  the  yarn  or  thread  was  wound 
in  spinning.  The  spindle  was  held  in  one  hand, 
wliile  the  other  was  employed  in  drawing  out  the 
thread. 

SPIRIT.    See  Soul. 


SPIKENARD. 


SPIRIT,  THE  HOLY  (Heb.  neshamah;  L.  Sryiri- 
tus).  T\\Q  Third  person  of  the  Trinity.  The  Spirit 
of  God.  The  character  and  influence  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  are  chiefly  shown  in  the  N".  T.  That  which 
was  but  imperfectly  understood  in  patriarchal 
times  became  full  of  meaning  to  Christians.  It  is 
called  the  Holy  Spirit  of  Jehovah  in  Ps.  liii.  10,  11, 
the  Good  Spirit,  Jehovah,  in  Ps.  cxliii.  10.  In  the 
work  of  the  creation  the  Holy  Spirit  is  mentioned 
(Gen.  i.  2).  As  the  bestower  and  sustainer  of  life 
(Gen.  ii.  7;  Job  xxvii.  3).  From  the  epoch  of 
Samuel,  the  work  of  the  Si^^rit  is  manifest  (1  Sam. 
x.  10,  xvi.  14;  2  K.  ii.  9;  IN  eh.  ix.  30;  Is.  xi.  27). 
In  the  N.  T.,  both  preceding  and  after  the  birth  of 
Christ,  the  agency  of  the  Holy  Spirit  was  especially 
prominent  in  its  manifestations.  The  presence  of 
the  Holy  Spirit  is  constantly  associated  with  the 
birth  and  life  of  Christ  and  the  work  of  His  disci- 
ples. The  holy  conception  was  of  the  Spirit 
(Matt.  i.  18).  The  Holy  Spirit  openly  appeared 
at  Christ's  baptism  by  John,  and  afterwards  led 
Him  into  the  wilderness  (Lukeiv.  1).  In  Christ's 
charge  to  the  apostles  are  the  words  "Far,  it  is  not 
ye  that  speak,  but  the  Spirit  of  your  Father  which 
speaketh  in  you"  (Matt.  x.  20;  also  in  John  xiv. 
16;  Acts  i.  8).  It  was  probably  to  correct  the 
prevailing  ignorance  upon  this  subject  that  Christ 
condemned  the  blasphemers  of  the  Holy  Ghost 
(Matt.  xii.  31).  From  the  date  of  the  Ascension 
commenced  what  is  termed  the  "Dispensation 
of  the  Spirit"  (Eph.  iv.  8;  John  vii.  39).  Christ 
ordained  that  Christians  should  be  baptized  in 
the  name  of  the  Holy  Ghost  (Matt,  xxviii.  19). 
The  rite  of  "laying  on  of  hands"  in  its  relation 
to  the  Holy  Spirit  is  referred  to  in  Acts  vi.  6,  etc. 

SPONGE  (Gr.  sponggos).  Belong  to  the  animal 
kingdom.  They  have,  when  living,  an  apparently 
homogeneous  jelly  filling  their  pores  and  covering 
their  surface.  They  come  mostly  from  the  Medi- 
terranean and  Bahama  Islands.  The  value  of  the 
sponge  was  known  from  very  early  times,  and  was 
probably  used  by  the  Hebrews  (Matt,  xxvii.  48; 
Mark  xv.  36). 


SPOON.  (Heb.  caph,  ^a^m  or  hollow),  (Ex.  xxv. 
29). 

STA'CHYS  (_an  ear  of  grain).  A  disciple  atEome 
saluted  by  Paul  (Rom.  xvi.  9). 

STAC'TE  (Heb.  natap) .  One  of  the  sweet  spices 
in  the  holy  incense  (Ex.  xxx.  34).  From  the 
myrrh  tree,  the  natural  gum ;  myrrh  being  artific- 
ally  produced  by  incisions.    See  Myrrh. 

STARS  iStar  of  the  Wise  Men).  A  general  name 
for  any  of  the  heavenly  bodies,  except  the  Sun  and 
Moon  (Gen.  i.  16).    See  Astronomy. 

STA'TER  {standard).    A  piece  of   money.    See 
Money. 
STEEL.    See  Metals. 

STEPH'ANAS  (crowned).  A  convert  of  Corinth 
(1  Cor.  i.  16,  xvi.  15). 

STE'PHEN  (Syr.  Ghelil,  a  crown).  The  first 
Christian  martjT;  chief  of  the  first  seven  deacons 
of  the  early  Church  of  Jerusalem.  He  denounced 
the  narrowness  of  Jewish  worship  (Acts  vi.  13, 14). 
His  continual  attacks  upon  the  Jewish  ritual  and 
worship  caused  his  being  charged  with  blasphemy 
before  the  Sanhedrin.  In  this  tribunal  the  Phari- 
sees were  in  the  majority.  In  his  defense  he  gave 
a  critically  just  and  true  summary  of  the  Jewish 
Church:  denouncing  the  local  worship,  and 
bringing  out  clearly  the  spiritual  element  in  its  his- 
tory; and  he  showed  that  in  the  previous  Jewish 
history  the  presence  of  God  was  not  limited  to  the 
Temple  at  Jerusalem ;  and  that  there  was  among 
the  Jews,  from  the  earliest,  a  spirit  of  intolerance. 
He  addressed  them  with  calmness  (Acts  vi.  15), 
but  his  words  were  received  with  anger.  He  was 
sentenced  to  be  stoned  to  death,  and  the  sentence 
was  at  once  executed,  Saul  of  Tarsus  (Paul)  con- 
senting and  assisting  (Acts  vii.  58,  viii.  1).  He 
died  with  the  greatest  firmness  (Acts  vii.  60). 

The  gate  now  called  St.  Stephen,  at  Jerusalem, 
is  on  the  east  side  of  the  city.  In  the  time  of  the 
Crusades  it  was  on  the  north  side,  at  what  is  now 
called  Damascus  Gate,  near  the  probable  site  of  the 
crucifixion  on  the  hillock,  over  the  so-called  cave  of 
Jeremiah,  near  which  it  is  also  probable  that 
Stephen  was  stoned. 

STOCKS  (Heb.  mahpeketh).  In  which  the  body 
was  placed  in  a  bent  position;  sad,  when  the  feet 
alone  were  confined.  They  consisted  of  two  beams, 
the  upper  one  movable,  with  grooves  between  them 
large  enough  to  receive  the  ankles  of  the  prisoner. 
They  were  often  erected  in  market-places,  that  the 
insults  of  the  people  might  be  added  to  the  pain  of 
confinement  (Job  xiii.  27;  Jer.  xx.  2). 

STOICS.  A  sect  of  fatalistic  heathen  philosophers, 
so  named  from  the  Greek  word  stoa,  "porch,"  or 
portico,  because  Zeno,  its  founder,  held  his  school 
in  a  porch  of  the  city,  more  than  three  centuries 
before  Christ  (Acts  xvii.  18).    See  Epicurus. 

STOM'ACHER.  An  ornament  or  support  to  the 
breast.  Heb.  pethigil,  a  sort  of  girdle  (Is.  iii. 
24).    See  Dress. 

STONES.  Were  used  for  building  (Mark  xiu.  1). 
Some  were  very  large.  Also  for  pavements  (2  K. 
xvi.  17).  Large  stones  were  used  for  closing  the 
entrances  pt  caves  (Josh.  x.  18).  Flint  stones 
sometimes  served  for  a  knife  (Ex.  iv.  25).  Stones 
were  used  in  slings  as  ammunition  of  war  (1  Sam. 
xvii.  40,  49),  as  weights  for  scales  (Deut.  xxv.  13), 
and  for  mills  (2  Sam.  xi.  21).  Large  stones  were 
set  up  to  commemorate  any  remarkable  event 
(Gen.  xxviii.  IS).  Such  stones  were  occasionally 
consecrated  by  Anointing  (Gen.  xxviii.  18).  The 
heathens  worshiped  stones  (Is.  Ivii.  6).  See  Je- 
rusalem. 
STONES,  PRECIOUS.  See  Precious  Stones

some  small  part  of  its  head  aud  thighs  black. 
Storks  mis^rate  to  southern  countries  lu  August 
and  return^  in  Spring.  Thoy  are  still  much  vener- 
ated among  the  common  people  in  Eui;ope  and 
Asia  (Jer.  viii.  7;  Lev.  xi.  19;  Deut.  xiv.  1«).  The 
Mohammedans  aUow  them  to  make  tliear  nests  on 
the  roofs  of  their  mosques,  aud  feed  them  very 
generously,  holding  thein  iu  superstitious  rever- 
ence. 

STRAIN  AT  (Gr.  diulizo,  strain  out).  There  can 
be  little  doubt  that  this  obscure  phrase  is  due  to  an 
error,  and  the  true  reading  is  "strain  mU"  (Matt, 
xxiii.  24). 

STRANGE  WOMAN  (Heb.  zonah,  kedeshah). 
Used  for  foreign  in  some  passages,  and  as  being 
the  wife  of  another,  or,  at  least,  one  who  has  no 
business  with  the  person  whom  she  tempts  (Prov. 
ii.  IG,  17).    An  adidteress. 

STRANGER  (Heb.  ger,  toshab).  A  foreigner; 
one  not  an  Israelite,  living  in  the  Promised  Land. 
Explained  by  some  to  be  all  those  not  members  of 
tlie  Jewish  Church;  not  the  "foreigner"  (Heb. 
NOCHRi)  who  was  merely  visitinij  the  land  as  a 
traveler.  The  mixed  multitude  that  went  out  of 
Egypt  with  the  children  of  Israel  (Ex.  xii.  'M); 
the  original  Canaanites,  captives  of  war,  fugitives, 
hired  servants,  etc.,  were  all  called  foreigners. 
They  equaled  one-tenth  of  the  whole  population  in 
Solomon's  time  (2  Chr.  ii.  17).  If  the  stranger  was 
a  l)ondraan  he  had  to  be  circumcised  (Ex.  xii.  M); 
aud  without  this  rite,  if  he  were  even  independent, 
he  could  not  be  admitted  to  full  privileges.  The 
number  of  strangers  who  were  slaves  in  Solomon's 
time  were  very  great — probably  150,000. 

STRAW  (TEBEN) .  Both  wheat  and  barley  straw 
were  used  by  the  ancient  Hebrews  chiefly  as  fodder 
for  their  cattle  (Gen.  xxiv.  25).  It  was  used  by 
the  Egyptians  in  making  bricks  (Ex.  v.  7,  16), 
They  reaped  their  corn  close  to  the  ear  and  cut  the 
straw  close  to  the  ground.  This  was  the  straw  that 
Pharaoh  refused  to  give  to  the  Israelites,  and  they 
were  tlierefore  compelled  to  gather  stubble  (Heb. 
iASH),  the  short  straw  left  standing  (Is.  v.  24). 

STRAW,  TO.    To  strew,  to  scatter  (Ex.  xxxii.  20). 

STREAM  OF  EGYPT.  See  Sihor,  the  River  of

and  most  English  expositors,  the  space  from  tlie 
wall  outward  measured  1,500  feet  (ISTum.  xxx. 
V.  4),  and  was  used  as  a  common  or  suburb  ;  and 
the  space  from  without  the  city  on  the  east  side 
(ver.  5)  was  3,000,  and  used  for  fields  and  vine- 
yards. 

STJC'COTH  (booths),  (Gen.  xxxiii.  17).  Where 
Jacob  btidt  booths  (of  reeds,  long  grass,  branches 
of  trees,  etc.),  and  thus  pave  the  place  a  name. 
Vaknt  is  a  ruin  10  miles  S.  of  Beimn,  on  the  W. 
bank  of  the  .Jordan,  where  there  is  a  copious  spring 
in  a  fertile  plain.  But  this  is  on  the  wrong  side  of 
the  Jordan,  for  it  belonged  to  Gad  (Josh.  xiii.  27). 
The  name  may  have  been  transferred  across  the 


river.  Succoth  was  mentioned  as  being  near  the 
clay  ground  where  the  metal  work  for  Solomon's 
Temple  was  cast.— 2.  A  station  of  the  Wandering

SYCAMOEE  (Heb.  shikmah,  Gr.  mkaminos), 
(Luke  xvii.  6).  A  tree  of  Egypt  and  Palestine, 
thefruitof  which  resembles the'flg  (1 K.  x.  27).  It 
grows  to  the  size  of  a  walnut  tree,  has  wide  spread- 
ing branches,  and  affords  a  deliglitful  shade,  and 
is  planted  by  the  way-sides.  Its"  leaves  are  heart- 
shaped,  downy  on  the  under  side  and  fragrant. 
The  fruit  grows  from  the  trunk  itself  on  little 
sprigs,  and  in  clusters  like  the  grape.  To  make 
the  fruit  eatable,  three  or  four  days  before  gatlier- 
ing  it  is  punctured  with  a  sharp  instrument  (Amos 
vii.  14).  The  wood  is  very  durable;  Egyptian 
mummy-cofflns  made  of  it  being  still  perfectly 
sound.  These  trees  were  held  in  great  value  (1 
Chr.  xxvii.  28),  and  it  was  one  of  Egypt's  calami- 
ties that  lior  sycamores  were  destroyed  (Ps.  Ixxviii. 
47).  The  sycamore  of  America  and  of  England  are 
very  different  from  those  of  the  Scriptures. 

SYCAMINE  TREE  (Gr.  mMminos).  A  species 
of  the  mulberry  tree  {moms).  Both  black  and

is  a  little  N.  of  Baalbek,  where,  within  a  few  miles, 
a  stream  from  both  Lebanon  and  Anti- Lebanon 
unite  to  f*m  the  stream,  flowing  N.  E.  :  It  passes 
through  a  lake,  6  ms.  long  by  2  wide,  near  Emesa 
(hums)  ;  a  little  below  Ilamath  it  receives  a  branch; 
being  turned  W.  by  the  Amanus,  it  receives  the 
Kara  Su  {Black  rimr),  flows  by  Antioch,  and  emp- 
ties into  the  sea;  haviuir  a  course  of  200  ms.  The 
Litany  rises  from  a  small  lake,  6  ms.  S.  W.  of  P.aal- 
bek,  and  runs  S.  until  it  is  turned  W.  by  the  hills  of 
Galilee,  wlien  it  reaches  the  sea  5  ms.'N.  of  Tyre,

to  the  N.  W.,  where  we  began.  All  around  the  top 
are  foundations  of  a  thick  wall,  built  of  large 
stones,  some  of  which  are  beveled.  There  are 
ruins  of  towers  and  bastions.  Toward  the  E.  end 
of  this  enclosure  are  confused  heaps  of  ruins  of 
houses,  churches,  towers,  and  other  buildings — 
some  of  hewn  and  others  of  beveled  stones.    One 


tall,  pointed  arch  is  standing,  called  the  Gate  of  the 
Wind.  The  ruins  are  of  different  ages,  from  remote 
antiquity,  the  time  of  Josephus,  the  Crusades,  and 
still  later  days.  The  early  Christians  adopted  the 
legend  of  the' Transfiguration  of  the  Saviour  on  this 
mountain  (Rob.  ii.  358),  but  this  is  now  located  on 
Herraon,  near  Paneas. 

TABOR,  THE  PLAIN  OF.  (Heb.  ELON,  properly 
The  Oak  of  Tabor).  Only  mentioned  once  (1  Sam.

cus  and  the  river;  the  whole  distance  being  about 
240  ms.  The  ruins  are  chiefly  of  Corinthian  colon- 
nades and  temples,  and,  seen  at  a  distance,  are  pe- 
culiarly imposing,  and  seem  to  surpass  all  others  in 
their  apparent  vastness  and  general  effect.  None 
of  Solomon's  buildings  have  been  identified,  and 
the  ruins  are  ascribed  to  works  of  the  date  of  the 
2d  or  3d  century  of  our  era.  (See  Wood's  Palmyra) . 


PALMTRA-TADMOK. 


Jews  have  assigned  the  same  antiquity  to  both, 
alleging  that  Moses  received  them  on  the  Mount. 
Miclramim,  or  explanations  of  biblical  topics,  were 
of  gradual  growth.     The  system  of  interpretation 
which  they  exemplify  and  embody  existed  in  the 
age  of  the  so-called  Sopherim  (Scribes),  who  suc- 
ceeded the  prophets.    The  oldest  Mishua  is  accre- 
dited to  Hillel.     It  is  divided  into  6  orders  or 
books,    63   treatises   (massik- 
loth),  and  525  chapters  (per- 
akim).    The  first  Seder  treats 
of  sowing,  the  productions  of 
the  earth,  trees,  and  the  uses 
of  fruits,  seeds,  etc.  The  second 
Seder    (moed),   the  order   of 
festivals.    The  third  Seder  (na- 
SHiM)  discusses  the  rights  of 
men  and  women,  marriage  and 
divorce.      The    fourth    Seder 
(nezikin),   consisting  of  ten 
treatises,  with  the  losses  and 
injuries  which  one  person  may 
bring  upon  another.    The  fifth 
(kodashim)    treats   of   sacri- 
fices, oblations,  etc.    Tlie  sixth 
(taharoth)  relates  to  purifi- 
cations of  vessels,  household 
furniture,  etc.  Rabbinical  Jews 
have  always  set  a  high  value 
on  the  Talmud,  often  placing 
it  above  the  old  Mosaic  law. 
Hence  we  find  in  the  Massec- 
eth  Soferim  the  saying,  "The 
Biblical  text  is  like  water,  and 
the  Mishna  like  wine,  and  the  six  orders  hke  aro- 
matic wine."    In  another  passage,    "The  law  is 
like  salt,  the  Mishna  like  pepper,  but  the  six  orders 
like   fine    spices."     Again,    "The  words  of  the 
Scribes  are  lovely,  above  the  words  of  the  law; 
for  the  words  of  the  law  are  weighty  and  light, 
but  the  words  of   the  scribes  are  all  weighty." 
These  extravagant  praises  of  the  oral  traditions 
agree  with  the  Saviour's  words:    "Making  the 
word  of  God  of  none  effect,  through  your  ti'adition, 
which  ye  have  believed"  (Mark  vii.  13). 

The  first  complete  edition  of  the  Babylonian 
Talmud  was  published  at  Venice  in  1520-1523,  in 
12  vols,  folio.  This  is  the  celebrated  Bomberg  edi- 
tion now  so  rare,  but  not  accurate. 

The  Jerusalem  Talmud  was  first  published  by 
Bomberg  about  1522-23,  at  Venice,  folio;  and  sub- 
sequently at  Cracow,  1609,  folio. 

The  entire  Talmud  has  not  been  translated  into 
any  language.    The  Mishna  appeared  in  Latin  in 
Surenhusius's  edition,  Amsterdam,  1698-1703,  fol.

was  the  same  deity  as  the  Phfpnlcian  Adonis.  The 
fabled  death  and "  restoration  of  Adonis,  supposed 
to  symbolize  the  departure  and  return  of  the  sun,

greatest  weight  of  the  Hebrews.  See  Money, 
Weights  and  Measures. 

TALI'THA  CTJ'MI.  Two  Syriac  words,  meaning

those  rules,  precepts  and  interpretations  by  which 
the  .Jewish  people  profess  to  be  guided,  in  addition 
to  the  O.  T.,  and  includes  not  merely  religion,  but 
philosophy,  medicine,  jurisprudence,  liistory  and 
the  various  branches  of  practical  duty.  The  Jews 
have  been  accustomed  to  divide  their  law  into 
written  and  unwritten :  the  written  contained  in 
the  Pentateuch,  tlie  unwritten  handed  down  orally, 
until  it  was  found  necessary  to  write  it.    Some

TA'PaON  (1  Mace.  ix.  50).  Beth  Tappuah,  near 
Hebron. 


ix.  21,  XX.  36).  From  these  passages  it  seems 
that  there  was  another  Tarshish,  which  was  hi  the 
direction  of  the  Red  Sea,  and  probably  in  India, 
judging  from  the  articles  brought  from  there, 
which  were  gold,  silver,  ivory,  apes,  and  peacocks 
(1  K.  X.  22).  India  was  the  native  land  of  the 
peacock  (Cuvier,  viii.  136). 

TARSUS.  Chief  town  of  CiLiciA;  the  bui;hplace 
of  Paul  the  Apostle  (Acts  ix.  11,  xxi.  39).  It  was 
an  important  city  in  the  time  of  the  Greek  kings. 
Alexander  conquered  it;  and  it  was  under  the  rule 


TAPTUAH  (Josh.  xv.  34).  In  the  Shefelah,  12 
ms.  W.  of  Jerusalem. —2.  En-Tappuah  (Josh,

TAR'ALAH  (Josh,  xviii.  27).  City  of  Benjamin. 
Site  lost. 

TARE  A    Tahkea  (  1  Chr.  viii.  35). 

TARES.  A  noxious  plant,  of  the  grass  family, 
supposed  to  mean  the  darnel.  It  grows  among  the 
wheat  everywhere  in  Palestine,  and  bears  a  great 
resemblance  to  it  while  growing — so  closely  that, 
before  they  head  out,  the  two  plants  can  hardly  be 
distinguished.  The  grains  are  found,  2  or  3  togetlier, 
in  12  small  husks,  scattered  on  a  rather  long  head. 
The  Arabs  do  not  separate  the  darnel  from  the 
wheat,  unless  by  means  of  a  fan  or  sieve,  after 
threshing  (Matt.  xiii.  25-30) .  If  left  to  mingle  with 
the  bread,  it  occasions  dizziness,  and  often  acts  as 
an  emetic. 

TARGET.  A  small,  round  shield  (1  Sam.  xvii.  6) . 

TAR  GUM.  A  translation  of  the  Scriptures  in  the 
Chaklee  language.  Of  these,  the  Targum  of  Jona- 
than, and  that  of  Onkelos,  are  held  in  most  esteem 
by  the  Jews. 

TARPE'LITES  (Ezr.  iv.  9).  Supposed  to  refer  to 
the  people  of  Tripohs,  Phoenicia. 

TARSHISH  (Gen.  x.  4;  Ps.  Ixxii.  10;  Jonah  i.  3, 
etc.).  Probably  Tartassus,  in  Spain  (Strabo,  iii. 
148).  There  was  a  city  and  a  river  in  Spain  of  the 
same  name;  perhaps  the  same  river  is  now  called 
Guadalquiver.  The  articles  brought  to  Tyre  from 
Tarshish,  such  as  silver,  iron,  lead,  and  "tin  (Ez. 
xxvii.  12),  were  productions  of  Spain.— 2.  (2  Chr. 


of  Antioch,  and  also  that  of  the  Ptolemies.  Csesar 
changed  its  name  to  Juliopolis.  Augustus  made  it 
a  free  city.  It  was  a  celebrated  seat  of  learning  in 
the  time  of  the  early  Roman  emperors,  and  was 
compared  by  Strabo  to  Athens  and  Alexandria, 
and  considered  superior  to  them  (xiv.  673) .  Among 
its  famous  citizens  were  Athenodorus,  the  tutor  of 
Augustus,  and  Nestor,  the  tutor  of  Tiberius.  An- 
tony and  Cleopatra  met  on  the  banks  of  the  river 
Cydnus,  which  divides  Tarsus  in  two. 

TAR'TAK.  An  idol  of  the  Avites  of  Samaria  (2 
K.  xvii.  31). 

TAR'TAN.  An  Assyrian  general  who  went  to 
Jerusalem  (2  K.  xviii.  17). 

TAT'NAI  (gift).  A  governor  of  Samaria  who 
treated  the  Jews  with  great  justice  and  moderation 
(Ezr.  V.  viii.),  B.  C.  519. 

TATJ  (Heb.  tav,  a  mark  or  sign) .  The  23d  let- 
ter of  the  Hebrew  alphabet. 

TAVERNS.  Three  Taverns.  A  station  on  the 
Appian  road  between  Puteoli  and  Rome,  where 
Paul  met  brethren  when  on  his  way  from  Jerusa- 
lem. The  modern  Cisteran  is  probably  near  the 
site  of  the  ancient  place,  which  was  about  30  ms. 
from  Rome. 

TAX'ES.  Every  Jew  was  required  to  pay  an  an- 
nual tribute  or  poll-tax  of  half  a  shekel,  about  25 
cents,  in  acknowledgment  of  God's  sovereignty, 
and  for  the  support  of  the  Temple  service  (Ex. 
XXX.  12-15;  Matt.  xvii.  25,  26).  In  the  N.  T.  pas- 
sages, tribute  means  the  tax  levied  by  the  Romans 
(Matt.  xxii.  16-22) .  Christ  warned  them  to  render 
to  all  men  their  dues  (1  Cor.  x.  31;  1  Pet.  ii.  9, 13). 

TAX'ING  ((4r.  apofirapJie) .  The  question  about 
the  truth  of  Luke's  record  of  the  taxing  by  the 
Emperor  of  Rome  is  quite  surely  settled  in  Luke's 
favor  by  the  best  critics  (Luke  ii.  1;  Acts  5,  37).

things. 

TEAKS.  Drops  of  water  from  the  eye  (2  K.  xx. 
6).  The  ancient  Romans  collected  the  tears  of 
mourners  for  the  dead,  and  preserved  tliem  in  a 
bottle,  of  thin  glass  or  simple  pottery.  They  used 
to  be  placed  in  the  sepulchres  of  the  dead,  in  Koniu 
and  Palestine,  where  they  are  found  in  great  num- 
bers, on  opening  ancient  tombs  (Ps.  Ivi.  a).

hill-country  of  upper  and  western  Mesopotamia, 
near  Haran,  and  inhabited  by  the  childi-en  of  Eden 
(2  K.  xix.  12).  The  name  indicates  the  site  of  a 
temple  built  in  honor  of  Asshur.  The  Targums 
locate  this  place,  with  Resen  (Gen.  x.  12),  on  the 
Tigris,  near  Nineveh  and  Calah. 

TEL'EM  (oppremon).  Judah  (Josh.  xv.  24).  S.

Babylonia,  near  the  Persian  Gulf. 

TELL  HUM  has  recently  been  proved  to  be  the 
site  of  the  ancient  Capernaum.  The  original  build- 
ing of  the  synagogue,  as  appears  by  an  inspection 
of  the  ruins,  was  74  feet  9  inches  long  by  56  feet 
9  inches  wide;  longer  between  north  and  south, 
with  entrances  at  the  south  end.  Many  finely  cut 
capitals  were  found  in  the  interior,  buried  in  the 
rubbish;  and  also  several  of  the  pedestals  in  then: 
proper  places.  Epiphanius  says  there  was  a  Chris- 
tian church  there  A.  D.  600,  some  of  the  ruins  of 


TEtL  HUM,  CAPERNAUM. 


TEKO'A  (strikers),  (2  Chr.  xi.  6).  E.  of  Hebron; 
built  by  Ashur,  son  of  Hezron  (2  Chr.  ii.  24). 
Residence  of  the  wise  woman  who  made  peace 
between  David  and  Absalom  (2  Sam.  xiv.).  Ira, 
the  Tekoite,  was  one  of  David's  30  "mighty men" 
(Tb.  xxiii.  26).  Rehoboam  fortified  it  (2  Chr.  xi. 
6).  Its  people  helped  Nehemiah  rebuild  the  walls 
of  Jerusalem  after  tlie  return  from  Babylon  (Neh. 
iil.  .5,  27).  The  prophet  Amos  was  born  here  (Amos 
i.,  vii.  14).  The  modern  name  is  Tekua,  and  it  is 
a  small  village  of  Arab  houses,  on  an  elevated  hill, 
from  which  there  is  an  extensive  view  reaching  to 
the  mountains  of  Moab,  Dead  Sea,  the  hills  around 
Jerusalem,  and  W.  to  Hebron,  while  toward  the  S. 
the  mountains  of  Edom  fill  the  horizon.  There  are 
ruins  of  walls  of  houses,  cisterns,  broken  columns, 
and  heaps  of  building-stones.  Some  of  the  stones 
have  the  peculiar  Hebrew  bevel,  proving  their  an- 
tiquity. The  ruins  of  Khureitun  (possibly  Keri- 
OTH,  the  city  of  Judas)  are  near  Tekua,  on  the 
brink  of  a  frightful  precipice. 

TEKO'A.  Son  of  Ashur,  in  the  genealogies  of

TELA'BIB  (hill  Abib).    In  Babylonia.     (Ez.  iii. 

TEL' AH  (breach).  A  descendant  of  Ephraim, 
and  ancestor  of  Joshua  (1  Chr.  vii.  25). 

TEL'AIM  (1  Sam.  xv.  4).  Saul  gathered  the  peo- 
ple, and  numbered  them,  at  Telaim;  and  it  is  not 
certain  whether  a  city  of  this  name  was  meant,  or 
that  the  numbering  occurred  at  the  time  of  the 
Passover,  for  the  word  is  also  translated  "lambs 
of  the  Passover." 

TELAS'SAR.    Thelasar  (hill  of  Asshur).    In  the 


which  are  found  near  the  synagogue.  The  plan 
of  the  synagogue  was  always  peculiar,  and 
different  from  that  adopted  by  the  Christians, 
or  Pagans,  or  Mohammedans,  so  that  there  is  no 
difficulty  in  determining  the  nature  of  certain  ruins. 
This  building  may  have  been  the  one  built  by  the 
centurion  (Luke  vii.  45),  and  that  in  which  Jesus 
delivered  the  discourse  recorded  in  John  vi.  One 
of  the  stones  has  a  pot  of  manna  sculptured  on  it. 
At  the  north  end  of  the  town  there  are  the  re- 
mains of  two  very  interesting  tombs.  One  was 
built  of  limestone  "blocks,  in  a  chamber  cut  from 
the  basalt;  and  the  other  a  building  above  ground, 
which  had  been  whitewashed  inside  and  out.  (See 
Matt.  xxii.  27). 

TEL-ME'LAH  (hill  of  salt).  A  city  of  the  low 
district  near  the  Persian  Gulf.  The  city  is  called

TE'MA  (desert),  (Gen.  xxv.  15;  Is.  xxi.  14.)  A 
small  town  on  the  border  of  Syria,  on  the  pilgrim 
route  from  Damascus  to  Mecca.    It  was  once  a 

stronghold. 

TE'MAN  (Gen.  xxxvi.  11).  A  city  or  country 
named  after  one  of  the  dukes  of  Edom,  in  the  S. 
of  the  land  of  Edom.  Eusebius  and  Jerome  men- 
tion it  as  being  15  ms.  from  Petra. 

TEM'ANI  (Gen.  xxxvi.  34).     Temanite. 

TEMAK'ITE.  Descendant  of  Teman  (1  Chr.  i.

(Xum.  ix.  15).— 9.  ohel  ha'eduth,  tabernacle  of 
testimony  (Num.  xvii.  7);  so  named  from  the  two 
tables  of  testimony.  The  tabernacle  was  a  tent- 
like structure,  adapted  to  the  roving  life  of  the 
desert,  and  made  more  important  than  the  ordinary 
tent,  or  even  than  the  best  tents  of  the  wealthiest 
skeiklis,  which  are  lined  with  silk,  or  fine  linen,  or 
woolen,  and  very  showy  in  form  and  color. 

Its  form  was  twice  tlie  length  of  its  width,  30 
cubits  (45  feet)  long  by  10  cubits  (15  feet)  wide, 
and  the  side-walls  were  10  cubits  (15  feet)  high. 
It  stood  in  an  inclosed  place,  50  cubits  (75  feet) 
wide  by  100  cubits  (150  feet)  long,  15  feet  from  the 
west  end.  (See  the  plan  on  the  map  of  the  Twelve 
Tribes).  The  Holy  of  Holies,  at  the  west  end,  was 
a  cube  of  10  cubits  each  way,  and  in  it  was  the 
mercy-seat,  on  the  lid  of  the  ark,  the  cherubim, 
the  ark  and  the  Book  of  the  Law.  The  room  in 
front  was  20  cubits  long  by  10  wide,  and  called  the 
Holy  Place.  In  it  were  the  tal)le  of  siiew-brcad 
and  the  seven-branched  candlestick  and  the  altar 
of  incense  (Ex.  xxv.).  The  tent  had  a  ridge, 
forming  a  rigiit-angle,  over  which  the  roof  cover- 
ings of  cloth  and  skins  were  thrown.  These  ex- 
tended 5  cubits  beyond  the  walls  all  round  the 
tent,  like  wide,  projecting  eaves.  There  were  three 
coverings  to  the  sides  ;  the  inner  of  fine  linen ;  the 
next  of  badger-skins;  the  outer  of  ram-skins  dyed 
red;  and  besides  these,  the  roof  had  one  of  goats' 
hair.  It  was  made  under  the  direction  of  Bezaleel 
and  Aholiab.  Its  place  was  in  the  centre  of  the 
camp  (see  Encampment),  where  it  was  set  up 
on  the  first  day  of  the  second  year  of  the  Exodus 
(Ex.  xl .  2) .  It  was  the  place  where,  man  met  with 
God  (Num.  xi.  24,  25).  It  was  moved  from  its 
place  (a  moving  Bethel)  in  the  Wilderness  and 
m  Canaan  until  the  Temple  was  built,  or  rather 
until  it  lost  its  glory,  when  the  ark  was  captured 
bv  the  Philistines  (1  Sam.  iv.  22;  Ps.  Ixxviii.  GO). 
The  form  and  size  of  the  tent  were  symbolical; 
and  to  the  Hebrews,  who  believed  in  the  mvstieal 
and  occult  powers  of  numbers,  it  was  peciiiiarly 
sacred  because  of  its  peculiar  structure.  On  its 
altar  of  incense  no  strange  fire  must  ever  be  used.

TENT  (Heb.  ohel).  DweUing  in  tents  was  very 
general  in  ancient  times  among  Eastern  nations 
(Gen.  iv.  20).  The  patriarchs,  the  Israelites  from 
Egypt,  dwelt  in  tents  until  they  obtained  the 
Promised  Land,  and  to  some  extent  afterwards 
(Judg.  vii.  8;  Heb.  xi.  9).  The  people  of  the  East 
live  much  in  the  open  air.  But  those  most  remark- 
able for  this  unsettled  and  wandering  life  are  the 
Arabs,  who  still  live  in  tents.  This  kind  of  dwell- 
ing is  not  confined  to  the  Arabs,  but  is  used  through- 
out Asia.  Tents  were  usually  made  of  canvas 
stretched  out,  and  resting  on  poles,  with  cords  se- 
cured to  pegs  driven  into  the  ground  (Is.  xxxiii. 
20).  The  house  of  God,  and  heaven,  are  spoken 
of  in  Scripture  as  the  tent  or  tabernacle  of  Jah 
(Ps.  XV.  1).  Says  Lord  Lindsay:  "  There  is  some- 
tliing  very  melancholy  in  our  morning  flittings. 
Thetent-pins  are  plucked  up,  and  in  a  few  minutes 
a  dozen  holes,  a  heap  or  two  of  ashes,  and  the 
marks  of  the  camels'  knees  in  the  sand,  soon  to  be 
obliterated,  are  the  only  traces  left  of  what  has 
been  for  a  while  our  home.  Often  we  found  our- 
selves shelterless  before  being  fully  dressed." 
What  a  type  of  the  tent  of  our  Dody  ! 

Tents  are  of  various  colors;  black  (Ps.  cxx.  6), 
red,  yellow,  and  white.  They  are  also  of  various 
siiapes;  some  circular,  others  of  an  oblong  figure 
like  the  bottom  of  a  ship  turned  upside  dovni.  In 
SjTia  the  tents  are  generally  made  of  cloth  of  goats' 
hair  (Ex.  xxxv.  26).  Those  of  the  Arabs  are  of 
black  goats'  hair.  The  Egj^ptian  and  Moorish  in- 
habitants of  Askalon  use  "white  tents.  An  Arab 
sheikh  will  have  a  number  of  tents  (Gen.  xxxi.  .33). 
ITsually  one  tent  suffices  for  a  family,  being  divided, 
if  large,  into  apartments  by  curtains.

THEBES 


Abram  (Gen.  xi.  24-32) .  Nahor  2,  and  Haran 
1,  and  through  them  the  ancestor  of  the  great  fami- 
lies of  the  Israehtes,  IshmaeUtes,  Midianites, 
Moabites,  and  Amouites.  He  dwelt  in  Ur,  and  was 
an  idolater  (Josh.  xxiv.  2).  He  lived  205  years, 
and  died  in  Haran  (xi.  31,  32). 

TER'APHIM.  This  word  is  rendered  "images, " 
"  idolatry,"  or  the  like.  Now  understood  to  repre- 
sent small  images,  used  as  household  gods. 

Rachel  is  said  to  have  stolen  her  father's  tera- 
phim  (Gen.  xxxi.  19).  Laban  calls  them  his  gods 
(ver.  30).  In  the  history  of  Micah  of  Mount 
Ephraim  the  teraphim  appeared  as  objects  of  wor- 
ship, and  as  part  of  the  furniture  which  he  pro- 
vided for  what  is  called  "his  house  of  Gods" 
(Judg.  xvii.  5).  Jacob  pointed  to  the  teraphim, 
when  he  called  upon  his  household  to  put  away 
"the  strange  gods"  that  were  among  them  (Gen. 
xxxv.  2);  to  them  also  Josiah  referred  (2  Chr. 
xxxiv.  7;  2  K.  xxii.  24).  They  are  named  by  Ho- 
sea  among  the  articles  of  false  worship,  and  are 
among  the  objects  of  superstitious  regard  with  the 
king  of  Babylon  (Ez.  xxi.  21). 

T£^E.ESH  {severe) .  One  of  the  eunuchs  who  was 
discovered  in  his  plot  to  assassinate  Ahasuerus 
(Esth.  ii.  21) 

TER'TIUS.  A  disciple  who  assisted  Paul  (Rom. 
xvi,  22). 


TERTUL'LTJS.  A  Roman  orator,  whom  the  Jews

Paul  (Acts  xxiv.  1-2). 

TES'TAMENT.    See  History  of  the  Books. 

TES'TIMONY  (Heb.  edah,  eduth,  tetidah;  Gr. 
marturia,  ma7'turion).  Witness,  evidence,  proof 
(Matt.  viii.  4;  John  iii.  32,  33,  etc.).  Applied  also 
to  the  precepts,  law,  revelation  of  God  (Ps.  xix. 
7),  and  especially  to  the  Ten  Commandments,  or 
Decalogue  (Ex.  xvi.  34). 

TE'TA    Hatita  (1  Esd.  v.  28). 

TETH  (Heb.  teyth,  a  serpent).  The  ninth  let- 
ter of  the  Hebrew  alphabet  (Ps.  cxix.). 

TET'RARCH.  Governor  of  the  fourth  part  of  a 
country.  1.  Herod  Antipas  (Matt.  xiv.  11),  who 
is  distinguished  as  "Herod  the  tetrarch;"  also  the 
title  of  king  is  assigned  to  him  (Matt.  xiv.  9). — 2. 
Herod  Philip  II  is  called  tetrarch  of  Iturea 
(Luke  iii.  1);  Lysanias  (iii.  1),  tetrarch  of  Abi- 
lene. This  title  was  probably  applied  to  petty 
tributary  princes  also. 

THAD'DEUS  (Heb.  tadday,  courageous).    Jtjde. 


Judas.  Also  called  Lebbeus  and  Thaddeus  (Matt, 
x.).  One  of  the  twelve.  He  is  only  mentioned  as 
among  those  who  could  not  see  the  spiritual  king- 
dom of  Jesus  (John  xiv.  22).  Of  his  life,  labors, 
and  death,  we  know  nothing.  Tradition  says  he 
preached  at  Edessa,  and  died  a  martyr  there  (Mark 
iii.  18). 

THA'HASH.    Badger.    Son  of  Nahor  2  by  his 
second  wife,  Reumah  (Gen.  xxii.  24) .

THE'ATER  (Gr.  theatron).  The  place  where 
dramatic  performances  or  other  public  spectacles 
are  exhibited  (Acts  xix.  29).  Theaters  were  often 
used  among  the  Greeks  for  public  assemblies  and 
the  transaction  of  public 
business.  Criminals  were 
sometimes  exposed  and 
punished  in  the  theaters 
(1  Cor.  iv.  9).  See  Ephe- 
sus. 

THEBES.  A  chief  city 
of  ancient  Egypt,  the  cap- 
ital and  residence  of  the 
kings  during  the  age  of  its 
highest  splendor.  There 
were  three  names,  Zam, 
Pamen  (abode  of  Amon), 
and  Thebes.  No-Ammon 
{portion  of  Ammon) ,  is  the 
name  in  the  Scriptures 
( Jer.  xlvi.  25;  Nab.  iii.  8; 
Ez.  XXX.  14).  Mentioned 
by  Homer  (D.  ix.,  381). 
Its  origin  is  lost  in  antiq- 
uity. In  the  1st  century, 
B.  C,  Diodorus  describes 
it  as  having  a  circuit  of 
140  stadia :  public  edifices 
of  vast  size ;  magnificent 
temples;  a  great  number 
of  monuments ;  private 
houses,  of  4  or  5  stories 
high ;  giving  it  a  grandeur  and  beauty  surpassing 
all  other  cities  in  the  world  (Diod.  i.  45).  Nearly 
100  yrs.  later,  Strabo  speaks  of  Thebes  under  the 
name  of  Diospolis,  and  says  that  "vestiges  of  its 
magnitude  still  exist,  which  extend  80  stadia  in 
length.  There  are  a  great  number  of  temples, 
many  of  which  Cambyses  miitilated. "  Pliny  wrote 
of  Thebes  as  "a  hanging  city;"  that  is,  built  on 
arches,  having  the  river  (Nile)  flowing  through  the 
middle  of  it.  The  ruins  of  Thebes  are  now  found 
in  a  valley  of  about  10  ms.  in  extent,  on  both  sides 
of  the  Nile,  which  is  here  }4  a  m.  wide,  and  the  city 
was  anciently  about  2  ms.  in  extent  from  N.  to  S., 
and  4  ms.  from  E.  to  W.  The  quarters  are  called 
Karnak  and  Luxor  on  the  E.,  and  Koornah  and 
Medinet  Haboo  on  the  W.  side,  in  each  of  which 
localities  there  are  ruins  of  great  temples,  with  re- 
mains of  avenues  of  sphynxes,  and  colossal  figures, 
of  2  ms.  in  extent,  leading  from  one  to  the  other. 
(See  Wilkinson  and  Mariette.)  Almost  every  pil- 
lar, obelisk,  and  stone,  tells  its  historic  legend  of 
Egypt's  greatest  monarchs.  "To-day  Thebes  is 
but  a  ne.st  of  Arab  hovels,  amid  crumbling  col- 
umns, and  drifting  sands. "  (J.  P.  Thompson, D.D.)

THESSALONI'CA. 
Named  after  the  sister  of 
Alexander  the  Great.  She 
was  wife  of  Cassander, 
who  rebuilt  and  enlarged 
the  city.  Its  original  name 
was  Thenna.  In  Mace- 
donia, between  the  rivers 
of  the  Thermaic  Gulf.  It 
is  still  the  most  impor- 
tant town  in  European 
Turkey,  after  Constanti- 
nople, having  a  population  of  70,000,  about  one- 
third  of  whom  are  Jews.  It  was  the  residence  of 
Cicero  at  one  time,  and  the  headquarters  of  Pompey 
and  his  Senate,  and  was  made  a  free  citv  by  Oc- 
tavius  Caesar.  In  the  1st  centuiT  A.  D.,  Ihe  time 
of  Paul's  visit  and  his  two  Epistles  to  the  Thessa- 


lonians,  it  was  the  most  populous  city  in  Ma<;ce- 
donia.  This  was  the  chief  station  on  the  great 
Koman  Koad,  the  Via  Egnatia,  which  led  from 
Konie  toward  the  whole  country  north  of  the  seas, 
and  therefore  a  most  important  centre  for  spread- 
ing the  gospel.  Its  commerce  was  equal  to  Corinth 
and  Ephesus.  The  first  Christians  of  this 
city  mentioned  by  name  were  Jason  (Rom. 
xvi.  21),  Demas  (2  Tim.  iv.  10),  Gains  (Acts 
xix.  29),  and  Aristarchus  and  Secundus 
(Acts  XX.  4).  The  truth  and  accuracy  of 
the  Scripture  are  confirmed  in  the  mention 
of  the  fact  of  this  being  a  free  city  and  in 
giving  the  i)eculiar  and  correct  term  for  the 
chief  magistrate,  who  was  called  in  Greek 
PoLiTARCH  (Acts  xvli.  6).  This  name  is 
found  nowhere  else,  and  is  preserved  on 
an  arch  of  the  Imperial  times,  which  spans 
the  main  street  of  the  city  (Aug.  Beck. 
Insc.  No.  1967).  For  several  centuries 
after  Christ  this  was  called  "The  Orthodox 
City,"  and  was  the  great  center  of  Orien- 
tal Christianity. 

THEU'DAS  (gift  of  God).  An  insurgent 
Jew,  mentioned  "by  Gamaliel  A.  D.  33  (Acts 
v.  35-39),  as  of  the  preceding  generation, 
and  not  to  be  confounded  with  a  Theu'das 
of  A.  D.  44,  mentioned  by  Josephus. 

THIEVES,  THE  TWO  (Gr.  lesiai,  robbery). 
The  men  who  appear  in  the  history  of  the 
crucifixion  (Matt,  xxvii.  38,  44;  Mark  xv.  37, 
42)  were  robbers,  belonging  to  the  lawless  bands 
in  Palestine.  Against  these  hrigands  every  Roman 
procurator  had  to  wage  war.  They  kept  an  armed 
police  to  encounter  them  (Luke  xxii.  52). 

THIMNA'THAH.  Dan  (Josh.  xix.  43).  Between 
Eglon  and  Ekron.  The  residence  of  Samson's 
wife.  There  must  have  been  several  towns  of  the 
same  name.  One  is  now  known  as  Tibneh,  ten 
miles  south  of  Akir  (Ekron). 

THIS'BE.  Naphtali  (Tobit,  i.  2).  The  birth- 
place of  the  prophet  Elijah,  the  Tishbite  (1  K. 
xvii.  1).  The  place  has  not  been  identified,  but  is 
looked  for  in  the  vicinity  of  Safed  or  Kadesh.

was  his  twin-sister).  A  native  of  Galilee.  It  has 
been  suggested  that  he  was  a  twin-brother  of  Je- 
sus, but" there  is  no  proof  that  he  was  any  relation 
to  him.  He  was  slow  to  believe,  weighing  the  diffi- 
culties of  the  case,  of  a  desponding  lieart,  but  ar- 
dently attached  to  his  Master.  lie  was  ready  to  go 
with  Jesus  into  any  danger,  but  was  incredulous 
about  the  unknown  "future;  and  after  the  resurrec- 
tion, he  would  and  he  could  only  believe  after  he 
had  seen  and  felt  the  very  wovinds  made  by  the 
nails  and  the  spear.  He  was  one  of  the  seven  apos- 
tles who  saw  Jesus  at  the  Sea  of  Galilee,  and  met 
with  the  others  in  the  "  upper  room"  after  the  as- 
cension. Tradition  says  he  preached  in  Parthia, 
was  a  martyr,  and  was  buried  at  Edessa.  The 
church  in  Malabar  claims  him  as  its  founder,  and 
shows  a  tomb  as  his. 


THRA'CIA  (2  Mace.  xii.  3.5).  Thrace  anciently 
included  the  whole  country  north  of  Macedonia 
and  the  Black  Sea.  It  is  supposed  that  Tiras,  in 
Gen.  X.  2,  means  Thrace.  It  is  also  supposed  that 
Tiras  was  the  ancestor  of  the  Tyrsi  or  Tyrseni,  the 
Etruscans  of  Italy. 


THRESHOLDS, THE.  (Heb.  AStTPPEY)  (Neh. xii. 

25).    The  tlirosholds  of  the  gates.    Heb.  asuppey 
HASH-SHF.ARiM,  the  store-chambers  of  the  gates. 

THRONE  (Heb.  cisse;  Gr.  thronos).  Any  ele- 
vated seat  occupied  by  a  person  in  authority  as 
high-priest  (1  Sam.  i.  9);  judge  (Ps.  cxxii.  5);  or 
a  "military  chief  (Jer.  i.  15).  The  use  of  a  chair 
in  a  country  where  squatting  and  reclining  were 
the  usual  postures  was  regarded  as  a  symbol  of 
dignity  (2  K.  iv.  10).  Solomon's  throne  was  ap- 
proached by  six  steps  (1  K.  x.  19),  and  Jehovah's 
throne  was  high  and  lifted  up  (Is.  vi.  1).  The  ma- 
terials and  workmanship  were  costly  (1  K.  x.  18- 
20).  Heaven  is  called  God's  throne,  and  the  earth 
his  footstool  (Is.  Ixvi.  1). 

THUM'MIN.     IJRIM  AND  THtJMMIN. 

THUN'DER  (Heb.  eaam,  Gr.  bronte),  and  light- 
ning are  extremely  rare,  during  the  sum- 
mer, in  Palestine;^  hence  it  was  selected 
by  Samuel  as  an  expression  of  the  divine 
displeasure  toward  the  Israelites  (1  Sam. 
xii.  17).  As  a  symbol  of  God's  power 
and  majesty,  thunder  is  frequently  re- 
ferred to  in  "Scripture  (Ex.  xix.  16). 

THYATI'RA.  See  Patmos,  and  the 
Seven  Churches. 

THY'INE-WOOD..  An  aromatic,  ever- 
green tree,  resembling  the  cedar,  and 
found  in  Barbary,  growing  to  the  hight 
of  15  to  25  ft.  The  wood  was  used  in 
burning  incense,  and,  under  the  name  of 
citron-wood,  was  highly  prized  by  the 
Romans  for  ornamental  wood-work.  The 
rezin,  known  as  sandarach  is,  the  product 
of  this  tree  (Rev.  xviii.  12). 

TIBE'EIAS.  A  city  on  the  W.  shore  of 
the  Sea  of  Galilee  (John  vi.  23).  Some 
have  supposed  that  it  was  built  on  the 
ruins  (or  near)  of  an  ancient  city,  Rak- 
kath,  or  Chinneroth  (see  Land  and  Book). 
Josephus  says  that  it  was  built  over  an 
ancient  cemetery,  and  was,  therefore,  unclean. 
Jesus  never  visited  Tiberias,  and  it  is  scarcely  men- 
tioned in  the  Gospels.  It  was  the  capital  of  Galilee 
from  its  origin  to  the  time  of  Herod  Agrippa  II. 
Celebrated  schools  of  learning  flourished  here  for 
several  centuries.    The  mishna  was  compiled  here

important  work,  the  masokah  {traditions),  origin-

system  and  pronunciation  of  the  Hebrew,  and

of  Assyria;  was  invited  by  Aliaz,  king  of  Judah, 
to  assist  him  against  the  kings  of  Assyria  and 
Israel  (2  K.  xvi.  7-10).  He  exacted  a  heavy  trib- 
ute, so  as  to  distress  him  without  helping  him  (2 
Chr.  xxviii.  20-21).  He  made  captive  many  of  the 
inhabitants  of  Israel,  and  placed  them  in  his  king- 
dom, B.  C.  740  (1  Chr.  vi.  26),  thus  fiilfilling  un- 
consciously the  predictions  of  Is.  vii.  17,  viii.  4).

OENCHB£A. 


TIG'EIS  (wro?c).  River  of  Mesopotamia.  Called 
Hiddekel  in  Hebrew.  Like  the  Euphrates,  it  has 
two  sources;  the  principal  one  is  near  the  high 
mountain-lake  Golenjik,  which  lies  in  the  great 


of  its  course  can  be  navigated  by  rafts.  The  river 
rises  rapidly  in  March,  from  the  melting  snow  of  the 
Niphates  mountains,  and  reaches  the  highest  point 
in  May,  often  flooding  the  country  around  Bagh- 
dad. Low  water  occurs  again  in  July.  In  autumn 
the  flood  is  much  less  in  liight  tlian  in  spring.  The 
river  has  been  purposely  obstructed  by  dams  at 
several  places  by  the  Persians  for  the  uses  of  irri- 
gation. The  Tigris  is  mentioned  by  Daniel  (x.)  as 
the  Great  River,  the  Hiddekel.  It  traversed  an- 
cient Armenia,  Assyria,  and  separated  Babylonia 
from  Susiana.  The  water  is  yellowish,  runs  in  a 
rapid  current,  and  abounds  in  fish.  The  banks 
are  fringed  with  groves  of  palms,  pomegranates, 
and  jungles  of  reeds,  the  haunts  of  wald  beasts. 

TIK'VAH  {expectation).  1.  Father  of  Shallum  2 
(2  K.  xxii.  14).— 2,  Father  of  Jahaziah  (Ezr.  x. 
15). 

TIK'VATH  {obedience).  Tikvah  1  (2  Chr.  xxxiv. 
22). 

TILE.  A  broad  and  thin  brick,  usually  made  of 
fine  clay,  and  hardened  in  the  fire.  Such  tiles  were 
very  common  in  Euphrates  and  Tigris  (Ez.  iv. 
1).  At  Nineveh  Layard  found  a  large  chamber 
stored  full  of  inscribed  tiles,  like  a  collection  of 
historical  archives  (Ezr.  vi.  1).  They  are  about  1 
foot  square  and  3  inches  thick. 

TIL'GATH-PILNE'SER.  Tiglath-pileser  (1  Chr. 
V.  6,  26). 

TI'LON  {qift).    Son  of  Shimon  (1  Chr.  iv.  20).

TOFETH  (Job  xvii.  6).  See  Musical  Instru- 
ments, and  cut  on  page  106. 

TIME.  Beside  the  ordinarjr  uses  of  this  word, 
the  Bible  sometimes  employs  it  to  denote  a  year, 
as  in  Dan.  iv.  16,  or  a  prophetic  year,  consisting  of 
360  natural  years,  a  day  being  taken  for  a  year. 
Thus  in  Dan.  vii.  25,  xii.  7,  the  phrase  "  a  time, 
times,  and  the  dividing  of  a  time,"  is  supposed  to 
mean  3>^  prophetic  years,  or  1,260  natural  years. 
This  period  is  elsewhere  paralleled  b^  the  expres- 
sion "forty-two months,"  each  month  including  30 
years  (Rev.  xi.  2,  3,  xii.  6,  14,  xiii.  5).

TIMNAH 


306 


TITANS 


TIM'NAH  {divide).  1.  In  the  north  of  Jiidah 
(Josh.  XV.  10),  near  Bethshemesh.  It  may  be 
identical  with  Timnatha  of  Samson,  a  city  of  Dan 
(xix.  43).  There  is  a  modern  village  called  Tibneh 
2  ms.  W.  of  Ain  Shems  (Bethshemesh),  which  is 
believed  to  be  on  the  site  of  the  ancient  city. — 2. 
In  the  mountain  district  of  Judah  (Josh.  xv.  57), 
south  of  Hebron. 

TIM'NATH.  TiMNAH.  1.  (Gen.  xxxviii.  12). 
Where  Judah  kept  his  flocks.— 2.  The  residence  of 
Samson's  wife  (Judg.  xiv.  1,  2,  5).  In  Phihstia. 
There  were  vineyards;  but  as  a  lion  was  found  in 
one,  the  place  must  have  been  thinly  inhabited. 


TIM'NATH-HEEES.  The  city  and  burial-place 
of  Joshua  (Judg.  ii.  9).  Also  called  Timnaih-serah 
(Josh.  xix.  50).  In  Mt.  Ephraim,  on  the  north 
side  of  Mt.  Gaash.  The  site  is  lost,  and  with  it 
the  tombs  of  Joshu  and  Caleb.  Dr.  Eli  Smith 
offered  the  ruins  of  a  place  15  to  20  ms.  N.  W. 
from  Jerusalem  as  the  site  in  question,  where  there 
are,  in  a  higher  hill  opposite,  sepulchres  hewTi  out 
of  the  rock,  equal  in  size  and  decoration  to  the 
tombs  of  the  kings  at  Jerusalem. 

TI'MON  (UonoraUe).  One  of  the  seven  deacons 
(Acts  vi.  1-6). 

TIMO 'THETIS  {honoring  God).  1.  A  captain  of 
the  Ammonites,  who  was  defeated  by  Judas  Mac- 
cabeus, B.  C.  164  (1  Mace.  V.  6,  11,  34-44).— 2.  A 
leader  in  the  invasion  of  Nicanor,  B.  C.  166  (2 
Mace.  viii.  30);  killed  at  Gazara  (x.  24-27).— 3. 
The  latin  for  Timothy  (Acts  xvi.  1). 

TIM'OTHY.  Is  first  mentioned  in  Acts  xvi.  1, 
where  he  is  described  as  the  son  of  a  Greek,  by  a 
Jewish  mother.  The  father's  name  is  unknown; 
his  mother's  was  Eunice,  and  his  grandmother's 
Lois  (2  Tim.  i.  5).  The  family  resided  either  at 
Derbe  or  Lystra,  which  is  uncertain  (Acts  xvi.  2). 
He  became  a  disciple  of  Paul  during  his  first  visit 
to  Lystra,  A.  D.  48,  and  was  his  fnend  and  com- 
panion in  his  journeys,  and  shared  for  a  time  his 
imprisonment  at  Rome  (Heb.  xiii.  23),  and  left  by 
him  at  Ephesus  to  continue  his  work  (1  Tim.  i.  3, 
iii.  14).  He  possessed  the  confidence  and  affection 
of  Paul  (Acts  xvi.  1,  xvii.  14).

OF  THE  Books. 

TIN  (Heb.  bedil).    A  well-known  white  metal, 


easily  melted,  and  very  malleable.  It  was  used  at 
an  early  period  (Num.  xxxi.  22),  and  brought  by 
the  Tyrians  from  Tarshish  (Zech.  xxvii.  12).  It 
was  used  for  plummets  (Zech.  iv.  lO),  and  it  was 
known  to  the  Hebrew  metal-workers  as  one  of  the 
inferior  metals.  Tin  is  not  found  in  Palestine. 
There  can  be  little  doubt  that  the  mines  of  Britain 
were  the  chief  source  of  supply  to  the  ancient  world. 
TIPH'SAH  {ford),  (1  K.  iv.  24).  The  outpost, 
toward  the  Euphrates,  of  Solomon's  kingdom  (2 
K.  XV.  16).  Probably  Thapsacus  of  the  Greeks  and 
Romans,  and  situated  in  Northern  Syria,  where  the 
route  eastward  crossed  the  Euphrates.  It  was  a 
great  and  important  town  in  the  time  of  Xenophon. 
A  ford  and  a  bridge  supplied  passage  for  caravans 
and  armies.  At  the  modern  town  of  Suriyeh,  on 
the  Euphrates,  there  are  paved  causeways,  visible 
on  both  sides  of  the  river,  which  are  the  remains  of 
the  approaches  to  the  ancient  bridge;  and  a  long 
line  of  mounds,  arranged  like  those  of  Nineveh,  in 
the  form  of  a  parallelogram.

cherib (2  K.  xix.  9).  He  was  a  powerful  mon- 
arch, ruling  both  Upper  and  Lower  Egypt,  and 
extending  his  conquests  far  into  Asia. 

TIR'HANAH  {inclination).     Son  of  Caleb  1  (1 

Chr.  ii.  48). 

TIE'IA  {fear).   Son  of  Jehaleleel  (1  Chr.  iv.  16).

the  name  Nehemiah  (Neh.  viii.  9,  x.  1),  and 

usually  rendered  governor. 

TIR'ZAH  {delight).  Youngest  daughter  of  Ze- 
LOphehad  (Num.  xxvi.  33). 

TIR'ZAH.  City  of  Canaan  (Josh.  xii.  24).  After 
the  separation  of  Israel  and  Judah  it  was  the  resi- 
dence of  Jeroboam  (1  K.  xiv.  17),  and  of  his  suc- 
cessors, Baasha,  Elah  and  Zimri.  The  royal  sepul- 
chres (xvi.  6)  of  the  first  four  kings  of  Israel  were 
here.  Omri  destroyed  Zimri  in  his  palace  by  fire, 
and  soon  afterward  removed  the  capital  to  Samaria 
(Shomron).  Its  beautiful  situation  is  mentioned 
in  Canticles  (vi.  4)  as  equal  to  that  of  Jerusalem. 
There  is  a  modern  village  called  Telluzah,  4  or  5 
mis.  N.  of  Shechem,  on  a  high  hill,  large  and 
thriving,  but  without  antiquities,  which  is  sup- 
posed to  be  on  the  site  of  Tirzah.

TITHE  (Heb.  ma'aser;  Gr. 
dekate,  a  ten  th) .  The  propor- 
tion of  a  man's  income  de- 
voted to  sacred  purposes 
(Gen.  xiv.  20,  xxviii.  22) 
prescribed  by  the  Mosaic  Law 
(Num.  xxxi.  31 ) .  A  twofold 
tithe  was  required  of  each 
Jewish  citizen.  The  first 
consisted  of  one-tenth  of  the 
produce  of  his  fields,  trees, 
and  herds,  to  be  given  to  God 
(Lev.  xxvii.  30-32).  The 
Levites  paid  a  tenth  part  of 
what  they  received  to  the  priests  (Num.  xviii.  26- 
28).  The  second  tithe  required  of  each  landholder 
one-tenth  of  the  nine  parts  of  his  produce  re- 
maining after  the  first  tithe,  to  be  used  at  the 
'Temple  in  entertaining  the  Levites  (Dent.  xii.  17- 
19,  22-29).  Every  third  year  a  special  provision 
was  made  for  the  poor,  either  out  of  this  second

the  Church  of  Antioch  (Acts  v.  2;  Gal.  ii.  1).  He 
was  thence  sent  to  Corinth,  where  he  labored  suc- 
cessfully (2  Cor.  viii.  (J;  xii.  18).  In  liis  mission  to 
collect  "for  the  poor  of  Jud?ea,  he  conveyed  the 
Second  Epistle  of  Paul  to  the  Corinthians  (2  Cor.

Crete,  superintending  the  chiu'ches  of  the  island 
(Tit.  i.  5) ;  he  here  received  the  epistle  inscribed  to 
him  by  Paul,  then  at  Ephesus  (Tit.  iii.  12^.  This 
epistle  is  supposed  to  have  been  written  A.  D.  65.

David,  but  not  in  the  Sepulchre  of  the  Kings  (xxi. 
20,  xxiv.  25);  and  one  king  (Uzziah),  was  buried 
in  the  field  because  he  was  a  leper  (xxvi.  23). 

The  Sepulchres  of  the  Kings  were  probably  on 
Zion,  but  have  not  yet  been  discovered,  although 
some  think  they  must  have  been  near  the  Temple 
on  Mt.  Moriah  (which  is  also  supposed  to  have  been 
the  ancient  Zion).  The  Mohammedans  refuse  to 
allow  any  explorations  there  at  present.  Ahaz 
was  buried  in  Jerusalem,  and  not  in  the  Sepulchre 
of  the  Kings. 


OBIENTAIi  WOMEN. 

There  is  not  one  tomb  which  can  be  traced  be- 
yond the  Roman  era.  The  so-called  Tomb  of  Zech- 
ariah,  in  Kidron,  is  not  a  tomb,  being  cut  in  the 
solid  rock,  and  only  one, side  finished.  There  is  no 
chamber  or  opening  of  any  kind.  The  so-called 
Tomb  of  Absalom  is  also  solid,  and  not  a  tomb. 
The  Zechariah  is  18  ft.  6  inches  square,  by  20  high; 
and  the  Absalom  is  21  ft.  square,  by  24  hiojh  to 
the  cornice,  above  which  is  a  structure  of  stones 
cemented,  and  in  the  form  of  a  bell  or  trumpet- 
shaped  dome,  making  the  whole  60  feet  high. 
There  is  a  chamber  inside,  with  two  very  narrow 
loculi.  Just  behind  this  is  an  excavation,  called 
the  Tomb  of  Jehoshaphat,  the  plan  of  which  is  not 
known. 

The  most  remarkable  tomb  is  that  of  the 
"Judges,"  which  has  nearly  60  loculi,  in  double 
rows,  the  upper  having  a  shelf  or  ledge  in  front. 
The  "  Tombs  of  the  Kings,"  so  called,  north  of 
Jerusalem  (see  map  Jerusalem  and  Zion).  This 
tomb  is  also  called  Herod's,  and  in  it,  a  few  years 


ago,  there  was  discovered  two  sarcophagi,  in  the 
Roman  style. 

TONGUES,  CONFUSION  OF.    The  Jewish  histor- 
ians, who  wrote  the  original  records  in  Genesis, 
evidently  intended  to  teach,  in  their  two  distinct 
accounts  of  the  origin  of  the  families  of  man,  in 
which  all  are  derived  from  a  single  family  on  the 
two  occasions,  Adam's  and  Noah's,  that  there  was 
but  one  original  pair,  who  were  the  first  parents  of 
the  races  of  men,  and  also,  that  there  was,  origin- 
ally, but  one  language,  and  that  the  Hebrew,  or 
Aramaic,  and  that  the  great  diversity  of 
tongues  was  produced  miraculously,  at  the 
building  of  the  Tower  of  Babel,  when  the 
races  were  also  distinctly  separated  from 
each  other  in  color  and  feature.    This  ap- 
pears to  be  the  Scriptural  view  of  the  ques- 
tion; but  it  is  received,  now,  with  extreme 
caution  by  scholars.    The  whole  question  of 
the  origin  of  language  is  beyond  the  possi- 
bility of  proof,  as  to  its  history;  and  there- 
fore theories  about  the  origin  of  the  sub- 
stance of  language  cannot  be  sustained  by 
historic  facts.    The  Greeks  held  that  reason 
was  inward  speech,  and  speech  outward  rea- 
son, and  [both]  independent  of  sound.    The 
-^.        labors  of  scholars,  during  the  pi'esent  cen- 
"        tury,  have  resulted  in  a  wonderful  amount 
''^        of  interesting  knowledge  concerning  the  dif- 
ferent languages  of  the  world;  arranging  a 
large  part  of  them  into  groups,  or  families, 
and  showing,  by  a  careful  analysis,  the  affin- 
ities of  many  languages  before  this  supposed 
to  have  nothing  in  common,  as,  Greek  and 
Celtic,  English  and  Sanscrit.    The  chain  of 
historical  evidence  necessary  to  show  any 
close  connection  between  the  great  families 
of  languages  does  not,  at  present,  appear 
to  be  in  existence.    The  original  unity  can- 
not be  proved,  and  can  only  be  supposed. 
Those  who  hold  to  a  direct  creation  of  dis- 
tinct species  of  animals,  trees,  etc.,  see  the 
same  evidences  of  an  original  pair  for  each 
race  of  men,  etc.    It  is  asserted  that  there  are 
certain  "  root- words, "  in  all  languages,  from 
which  the  entire  vocabulary  is  derived,  by 
expansion  or  addition,  and  which  are  always 
of  one  syllable,  of  two  or  more  letters  (that 
is,  a  vowel-sound  before  or  after,  or  between, 
two  consonants).     From  these  "roots"  the 
languages  are  all  formed  in  three  modes: 
1.  By  isolation.   2.  By  agglutination.  3.  By 
inflection. 

In  the  first  group  there  is  no  such  thing  as 
grammar — that  is,  there  is  no  difference  be- 
tween a  noun  (name)  and  a  verb  (a  name 
and  an  action),  and  there  are  no  adjectives, 
prepositions  or  pronouns.  In  the  other  two 
groups  there  are  two  kinds  of  "roots,"  one 
of  which  forms  names,  verbs,  adjectives,  and  the 
other  conjunctions,  prepositions  and  particles. 
The  terminations  of  names,  verbs  and  adjectives 
are  supplied  by  both  kinds.  An  example  is  seen  in 
the  preposition  of,  which  is  traced  to  the  German 
ab,  the  Greek  apo,  and  the  Sanscrit  apa,  the  base 
of  which  was  a. 

The  one-syllable  form  is  not  the  only  character- 
istic of  the  root  of  the  Shemitic  languages  ;  there 
are  many  two-syllable  forms  also,  if  these  are  not 
single  svllables  joined  by  a  consonant.  Single 
syllables'  are  found  with  two,  three,  and  even  four 
consonants.  It  is  held  by  some  scholars  that  the 
purely  one-syllable  languages  have  never  advanced 
beyond  their  primitive  condition.  The  answer  to 
this  is  that  these  languages  have  developed  in  a 
way  peculiar  to  themselves. 

The  most  apparent  differences  between  the  two 
kinds  of  languages  are,  that  the  agglutinating  kind 
preserves  the  original  root  unchanged,  although 
combined,  while  the  inflectional  join  the  roots,  so

as  to  lose  the  identity  of  the  original  roots.  But  it 
seems  necessary  that  in  all  languages  there  should 
have  been  couibiuation  of  roots— joining  two  or 
more  simple  words  to  make  a  more  complete  one— 
and  also  an  isolation,  when  such  compound  words 
became  familiar  and  useful,  and  were  adopted  for 
certain  ideas  or  their  uses,  and  so  became  stock 
words,  of  which  every  language  has  a  number. 

The  ancient  languages  m  America  and  Africa 
are  distinct  and  peculiar,  and  can  not  be  described 
in  conunon  with  any  in  Asia  or  Europe.    Iheir 
derivation      is      un- 
known,   and    there 
has    not    yet    been 
traced    any   connec- 
tion   in    root,  struc- 
ture or  liistory  with 
any  other  family. 

An  interesting  in- 
scription has  been 
lately  discovered  in 
the  East,  which  is  in- 
terpreted by  Dr.  Op- 
pert,  in  which  it  ap- 
pears that  tlie  ancient 
Babylonians  had  a 
tradition  of  the  con- 
fusion of  tongues, 
preserved  in  the 
name  Borsippa  or 
Borsif,  which  means 
confusion  in  Chaldee. 
Borsippa  is  therefore 
Tongue-Tower,  and 
was  what  is  now 
called  Birs  Nimroud 
(see  Babel).  Hero- 
dotus described  the 
tower  as  dedicated  to 
Jupiter  Belus.  The 
original  name  of  the 

tower  was  BiT-zi-DA,  spirit-Tuntse  (the  same  as 
Sarakh,  tower,  temple).  Nebuchadnezzar  named  it 
the  Seven  Lights  of  the  Earth  (7  planets).  In  the 
inscription  there  is  the  sentence,  "  Since  the  remote 
time  people  avoided  the  tower— cause  unknown." 

TONGUES,  GIFT  OF.  The  giff  of  tongues  was  the 
special  work  of  the  Holy  Spirit  on  the  Day  of  Pen- 
tecost; and  the  power  was  used  as  soon  as  received. 
"They  were  all  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 
began  to  speak  with  other  tongues  as  the  spirit 

fave  them  utterance."  At  that  time  there  w^re 
ews  from  many  nations  in  Jerusalem,  speaking 
foreign  tongues,  and  they  heard  and  understood, 
every  one  in  his  native  language.  This  power  ful- 
filled the  promise  implied  in  the  command  "Go  and 
teach  all  nations."  It  gave  the  teachers  of  the  new 
religion  access  to  the  heart,  while  the  priest  of  the 
old  dispensation  addressed  the  eye.  Judaism  had 
been  local;  Christianity  was  to  "go"  into  aU  the 
world.  Those  who  used  the  gift  of  tongues  were 
also  made  to  understand  them;  for  if  not,  then  he 
could  not  have  increased  his  own  knowledge  and 
faith  nor  those  of  others.  This  gift  was  only  for 
a  short  time.  Even  Paul  did  not  long  enjoy  its 
benefits.  It  appears  from  the  record  that  the  gift 
on  the  Day  of  Pentecost  fell  on  all  ahke,  Apostles 
and  hearers,  men  and  women. 

TOOTH  (Heb.  shen,  Gr.  odous),  used  mostly  in 
respect  to  men  and  animals  (Gen.  xlix.  12). 
"  Cleanness  of  teeth  "  indicates  hunger  and  famine 
(Amos  iv.  6);  "gnashing  of  teeth"  violent  rage, 
anguish,  or  desperation  (Ps.  xxxv.  16):  "tooth  for 
tooth"  was  an  instance  of  compensation  (Ex.  xxi. 
24). 

TO'PARCHY  (Gr.  toparcMa).  A  district  governed 
by  a  toparch,  or  governor  (1  Mace.  xi.  28). 
TO 'PAZ.    See  Precious  Stones. 
TO'PHEL.    At  the  S.  E.  comer  of  the  Dead  Sea, 


now  called  Tuflleh.  It  is  in  a  most  fertile  valley, 
having  many  springs  and  rivulets  flowing  into  the 
Ghor,  and  large  plantations  of  fruit-trees.  Figs 
are  exported.  Partridges  (katta)  are  found  in 
great  numbers,  and  deer  (steinbock)  in  herds  of  40 
or  50  together. 

TO'PHETH  itabreUjrove).  S.  E.  of  Jerusalem, 
in  the  Valley  of  Uinnom  (Jer.  vii.  31,  xix.  2).  A 
music-grove  of  the  king ;  a  part  of  the  royal  gar- 
dens. After  the  sacrifices  to  the  idol  Moloch,  it 
became  a  place  of  abomination  (vii.  32). 


POOL  OF  SILOAM. 

TOR'MAH  (Heb.  betormah);  "privily"  Judg. 
ix.  31). 

TORMENT'OE  (Gr.  basanisteo,  a  torturer,  or  pris- 
on-keeper. Among  the  ancient  Romans,  a  creditor 
might  use  certain  legal  tortures,  as,  a  heavy  chain, 
or  of  half-starvation,  to  extort  from  the  debtor  a 
confession  of  any  concealed  treasures  (Matt,  xviii. 
34). 

TOR'TOISE  (Heb.  zab).  Various  fresh-water 
tortoises,  land -tortoises,  and  se^- tortoises,  are 
found  in  Palestine  and  its  neighborhood  (Lev. 
xi.  29). 

TO'U  (TOT),  (1  Chr.  xviii.  9,  10). 

TOW.  1.  Heb.  ne'oreth;  tow  as  shaken  off  from 
flax  (Jiulg.  xvi.  9. — 2.  pishtah,  a  wick,  made  of 
linen  (Is.  xlLii.  17). 

TOWER  (Heb.  migdal,  Gr.  purgos).  Towers 
were  erected  not  only  in  the  outer  walls,  and  on  the 
hights,  within  cities  (Judg.  ix.  47-49),  but  along 
the  frontiers  (Judg.  ix.  17).  A  tower  afforded 
refuge  to  the  people  in  case  of  invasion  (Prov. 
xviii.  10).  They  were  built  in  vineyards  for  the 
watchmen,  and  on  the  hights,  or  along  the  side-hill, 
at  convenient  distances,  so  that  the  watchmen 
could  see  from  one  to  another,  and  give  signals  of 
the  approach  of  any  danger,  as  of  an  enemy,  or  of 
wolves,  bears,  or  otner  animals,  destructive  of  the 
crops.  Many  of  these  are  now  in  use  all  over  the 
country.  Some  of  them  were  very  noted  as  Edar, 
Antonia,  Migdol,  Ophel,  etc.  The  tower  was  a 
figure  of  God  (Ps.  Ixi.  3),  and  of  proud  and  power- 
ful men  (Is.  ii.  15,  xxx.  25). 

TOWN.  1.  Heb.  bath,  daughter;  in  specifying 
small,  dependent  "towns"  and  "villages"  (Josh. 
XV.  45,  47). — 2.  HAWOTH,  villages,  properly  places 
of  Z^■«^;■n(7  or  dwelling  (Josh.  xiii.  30. — 3.  Heb.  hazer 
(Gen.  XXV.  16),  "court" or  "village". — 4.  Heb.  iR

TOWN'-CLERK  (Gr.  gntmmatcus,  a  scribe,  secre- 
tary—cierk).  The  title  of  the  magistrate  at  Ephesus 
who  appeased  the  mob  (Acts  xix.  35),  in  the  thea- 
ter-tumult excited  by  Demetrius. 


TRACHONI'TIS  (heap  of  stones),  (Luke  iii.  1). 
The  region  also  called  Argob,  Geshur,  and  now 
El-Lejah,  and  is  S.  of  Damascus,  consisting  of  a 
plain  and  the  W.  slope  of  Jebel  Hauran.  On  the 
N.  border  of  tliis  region  are  the  extensive  ruins  of 
Mismiyeh,  where  there  is  an  inscription  on  the  door 
of  a  once  beautiful  temple,  which  contains  the 
name  of  the  ancient  city,  Phoctjs.  On  the  E.  are 
the  ruins  of  Saccsea  and  Kenath,  on  the  slope  of 
Hauran.  Josephus  describes  the  inhabitants  as 
having  neither  towns  nor  fields— dwelling  in  caves, 
and  having  cisterns  of  water  and  granaries ;  and 
the  ground  as  almost  a  plain,  covered  with  rugged 
rocks.    See  Argob,  and  Geshur. 

TRADI'TION  (Gr.  paradosis,  a  precept,  ordinance, 
instruction) .  Applied,  particularly,  to  the  Oral  Law 
of  the  Jews,  or  their  doctrines,  handed  do^vll  from 
age  to  age  (Matt.  xv.  2,  3,  6).  The  Jews  pay  great 
regard  to  tradition  in  matters  of  religion,  as  do  the 
Roman  Catholics.  Protestants  reject  the  authority 
of  tradition  in  sacred  things,  and  rely,  only,  on  the 
written  word.  Traditions  may  be  good  or  bad — 
true  or  false  (2  Thess.  ii). 

TRANCE  (Heb.  lopal,  falling;  Gr.  ekstasis; 
Lat.  excessus).  The  state  in  which  a  person  has 
passed  out  of  the  usual  order  of  its  life,  beyond  the 
usual  limits  of  consciousness  and  volition.  The 
condition  of  seeming  death.  Loss  of  conscious  per- 
ception. In  medical  terms,  one  form  of  catalepsy. 
A  state  in  which  there  is  a  sudden  suspension  of 
thought,  of  sensibility,  and  of  voluntary  motion; 


or  rather  lost  to  aU  outward  impressions,  and  ab- 
sorbed in  the  imagination;  sometimes  the  result  of 
religious  impressions.  (Some  persons  can  throw 
themselves  into  the  state  of  religious  trance  at  will 
(ecstasy  of  adoration).  Mohammed  was  of  this 
nature,  and  in  that  condition  he  made  his  (vision- 
ary) jcuvney  to  heaven.  Balaam  sees  the  vision  of 
God,  falling,  but  with  opened  eyes  (Num.  xxiv.  4) . 
Saul  also  prophesied  and  fell  down  (1  Sam.  xix.  24). 
Jeremiah  was  de- 
scribed as  one  that 
is  mad  and  maketh 
himself  a  prophet 
(Jer.  xxix.  26).  Eze- 
kiel  sits  motionless 
for  seven  days  in  stu- 
por (Ez.  in.  15).  He 
also  sees  the  visions 
of  God,  lifted  up  be- 
tween the  earth  and 
the  heaven  (viii.  3). 
Peter  saw  in  a  trance 
the  vision  of  toler- 
ance (Acts  X.  xi.). 
Paul  received  in  a 
trance  the  command 
to  preach  to  the  Gen- 
tiles (Acts  xxii.  17- 
21).  In  another  he 
heard  unspeakable 
words  (2  Cor.  xii.  1- 
4).  The  prophets 
received  their  mes- 
sages from  God  in 
visions,  trances,  and 
dreams  (Num.  xxiv. 
2-16;  Joel  ii.  28; 
Acts  X.  11 ;  Rev.  1. 
10-20). 

The  prophet  is  also 
called  a  seer  (Num. 
xii.  6 ;  Lam.  ii.  9)  ; 
and  received  the 
word  of  the  Lord  (1 
Sam.  iii.  21).  The 
spiritual  man  (Hos. 
ix.  7),  is  another 
term.  The  name 
prophet  (NABi)  means  inspired  person,  one  whom 
God  has  qualified  to  impart  consolation,  light,  and 
strength  to  others ;  a  declarer  and  interpreter  of 
the  divine  will  respecting  the  past,  the  present, 
and  the  future.  There  are  two  elements  in  proph- 
esy; the  predicative  and  the  moral.  The  moral 
or  spiritual  is  always  highest,  although  inseparable 
from  the  spoken  word.  Prophesy  is  the  opposite 
of  the  miracle — miracles  being  evidences,  signs, 
and  prophesies  being  the  word  for  edifying  the 
church,  comforting  believers,  and  a  sign  to  unbe- 
lievers, drawing  their  attention  to  Christ  (1  Cor. 
xiv.  22).  Miracles  are  addressed  to  unbehevers; 
prophesies  to  believers. 

Three  elements  were  essential:  1.  Personal  and 
direct  communication  from  heaven.  2.  The  word 
to  be  consistent  with  the  use  of  a  supernatural 
agency.    3.  And  be  delivered  faithfully. 

The  Bible  is  a  book  of  facts,  and  prophesy  is 
based  on  history. 

The  present  was  (and  is)  the  germ  of  the  future, 
and  a  prophetic  thread  runs  tlirough  the  whole 
length  of  the  history  of  the  chosen  people. 

The  theme  entire  was  enunciated,  at  first,  by 
Adam,  Noah,  Abraham  and  Moses;  and  was  ex- 
panded as  the  world's  history  demanded.  The 
first  promise  in  the  Garden  of  Eden  contains,  as  in 
a  seed,  the  whole  of  revelation  and  prophesy;  and 
the  growth  of  Christ's  kingdom  in  the  earth  will 
restore  the  earth  to  the  original  state  of  Eden.  All 
truly  religious  teaching  is  prophetical,  as  it  always 
has  "been.

TR  ANSFIGURATION

TREES 


The  line  of  prophets  from  Samuel  to  Malachi 
were  the  divinely  accredited  teachers  of  the  Jewish 
people,  and  were  supernaturally  endowed  with 
spiritual  knowledge  and  genuine  foresight  to  train 
them  for  the  development  of  the  future  divine 
kingdom,  and  their  succession  during  a  period  of 
4000  years  (Adam  to  Jesus),  with  their  continual 
flow  of  divinations,  perfect  harmony  of  character, 
oneness  of  object,  and  sanctity  of  motive,  is  a 
greater  mystery  and  miracle  than  any  of  their  pre- 
dictions. They  were  the  witnesses  for  a  divine 
kingdom  among  men,  the  comuientators  on  its 
history,  the  exponents  of  its  laws,  and  the  heralds 
of  its  triumphs;  directing  the  minds  of  the  people 
to  the  person,  the  work,  and  the  character  of  the 
King. 

The  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews  sets  forth  the  doc- 
trine that  in  person  Jesus  was  joined  to  God  in  a 
mysterious  union,  and  there  are  many  references 
to  the  Old  Testament  in  the  New  Testament 
throughout,  touching  on  this  theme,  as  in  Malachi 
(iii.  1),  quoted  by  Luke  (vii.  27),  where 
Jesus,  in  an  allusion  to  himself,  purposely 
changed  the  expression    to   avoid  giving  ,j^ 

offense  to  the  Jews;  and  also  Psalms  ex.,  .  \ 
alluded  to  in  Matt.  xxii.  42,  43,  where  his 
hearers  distinctlyunderstood  him  as  making 
himself  David's  Son  and  Lord,  in  a  spiritual 
sense,  which  was  the  same  as  God ;  and 
when  he  refers  to  the  prophesy  of  Zechar- 
iah  (xiii.  7),  predicting  his  crucifixion  (Matt, 
xxvi.  31). 

The  work  of  the  Messiah  was  the  founda- 
tion of  his  spiritual  kingdom,  the  corner 
stone  of  the  Church,  as  prophesied  from 
the  first,  and  especially  promised  to  Abra- 
ham. 

The  prophesies  prepared  the  minds  of  the 
Jews  for  the  extinction  of  the  national  life 
at  the  appearance  of  the  Messiah.  The 
nation  died  that  its  spiritual  hfe  might  be 
resurrected  in  the  Gospel ;  a  type  of  the 
experience  of  every  disciple,  prefiguring 
his  entry  upon  a  bright  future  when  called 
away  from  this  life.  The  polity  and  priest- 
hood had  served  their  end  when  it  merged 
into  the  Church  of  Christ.  In  the  new 
Church  there  is  no  local  temple,  no  visible 
altar,  no  material  offering,  no  sacrificing 
priesthood.  It  is  a  new  earth  and  a  new 
heaven.  The  whole  world  has  now  become 
a  people  of  priests,  where  every  soul  may 
worship  God  in  spirit  and  in  truth  (Ex. 
xix.  6). 

TRANSFIGTJKA'TION.  This  event  oc- 
curred in  that  period  of  the  life  of  Christ 
between  the  temptation  in  the  wilderness 
and  the  agony  in  Gethsemane.  The  inci- 
dent is  described  in  Matt.  xvii.  1-9.  It  is 
supposed  to  have  taken  place  on  Mount  Hermon, 
the  highest  of  the  Anti- Lebanon  mountains.  At  the 
transfiguration  Moses  and  Elijah  appeared,  repre- 
senting the  law  and  prophesy.  The  Apostles,  Peter, 
James,  and  John,  were  the  only  witnesses  (1  Pet. 
i.  16;  Johni.  14). 

TEEAS'URE  (Heb.  ozar,  hozen,  matmon; 
Chal.  gimin;  Gr.  thesauros),  (Acts.  viii.  27). 
Whatever  is  laid  up  in  store— as  provisions,  gold, 
silver,  etc.  (Gen.  xhii.  23). 

TREASITRE-CITIES  (Ex.  1. 11).  Store-cities;  that 
is,  cities  where  were  magazines  or  depots  of  pro- 
vision (Ezr.  v.  17). 

TEEAS'URER  (Heb.  gizbar;  Chal.  gedaberin). 
One  who  has  charge  of  royal  treasures  or  a  treas- 
ury (Ezr.  i.  8). 

TKEAS'XmY.  1.  Heb.  ozar,  what  is  laid  up;  a 
store  or  stock  of  produce  or  goods  (Josh.  vi.  19, 
24).— 2.  Heb.  genazim,  treamre-chesU  (Esth.  iii.  9). 
—3.  Heb.  GANZACH,  the  treasury  of  the  Temple 
(1  Chr.  xxviii.  11),  which,  according  to  Rabbins, 


was  in  chests  (called  inimpets),  uito  which  the 
Jews  cast  their  offerings  (Matt.  xii.  41).  Kings 
used  to  store  their  possessions,  and  guard  what 
they  most  valued  (Ex.  i.  11).

TRIAL.  See  Jesus  Christ,  Procurator,  San- 
HEDRiK,  etc.  The  trial  of  Jesus  Christ  before 
Pilate  was  for  an  offense  punishable  by  Koman  law 
with  death  (Luke  xxiii.  2,  28;  John  xix.  12,  15). 
Paul  and  Stephen  were  tried  before  the  high- 
priest  and  Jewish  rulers  (Acts  v.  27,  vi.  12,  etc.); 
the  decumviri  ("magistrates,"  A.  V.).  The  trials 
of  Paul  at  Csesarea  were  conducted  under  Roman 
law.  In  that  one  held  before  Felix,  the  plain- 
tiffs employed  an  advocate.  In  the  second  trial 
Paul  appealed  to  Csesar,  as  a  Roman  citizen, 
and  the  procurator  conferred  with  the  council  or 
assessor  who  sat  on  the  judicial  bench  (Acts  xxv. 
12).  A  judicial  court  held  sessions  in  Ephesus 
(Acts  xix.  38). 

TRIBE  (Heb.  malteh,  shebeh,  Gr.  phule).  A 
race,  people,  or  nation  (Ps.  Ixxiv.  2) .  Usually  a 
division,  or  branch  of  a  people,  especially  one  of 
the  great  divisions  of  the  IsraeUtes  (Ex.  xxxi. 
2,  6).  The  12  tribes  continued  united  as  one  state, 
one  people,  till  after  the  death  of  Solomon,  when 
they  revolted.    See  Twelve  Tribes. 

TRIB'UTE  (Heb.  meches,  mas).    See  Taxes. 

TRITOLIS.  Possibly  the  ancient  Kadytis.  On 
the  coast  N.  of  (Beirut),  Sidon,  and  Tyre.  The 
river  that  runs  from  Lebanon  through  the  city  is 
called  Kadisha.  Demetrius  Soter  landed  here  (B. 
C.  1()1),  and  made  it  his  head-quarters  while  con- 
quering Syria  (2  Mace.  xiv.  1).    Pop.  16,000. 


TRO'AS.  Alexander  Troas,  in  Asia  Minor  (My- 
sia),  opposite  the  island  of  Tenedos.  It  was  one 
of  the  most  important  towns  in  Asia.  Paul  made 
two  voyages  from  here  to  Macedonia.  (See  Life 
OF  Paul.)  It  was  connected,  by  good  roads,  with 
cities  on  the  coast  and  in  the  interior.  Constantine 
had,  before  he  gave  a  just  preference  to  the  situa- 
tion of  Byzantium,  conceived  the  design  of  erecting 
the  seat  of  empire  on  this  celebrated  spot,  from 
which  the  Romans  derived  their  fabulous  origin. 

TROGYL'LIXTM.  Samos  is  exactly  opposite  this 
point  of  land,  which  lies  at  the  boundary  between 
Ionia  and  Caria.  The  channel  is  narrow  (about  1 
m.),  and  the  current  rapid,  southward.  E.  of  the 
point  there  is  now  an  anchorage,  called  St.  Paul's 
Port.  (Acts  XX.  15) .  In  this  bay  there  was  a  great 
naval  battle  between  the  Greeks  and  Persians,  B. 
C.  479. 

TROOP  (Heb.  gedud),  is  used,  mostly,  of  light- 
armed  troops  engaged  in  plundering  (Gen.  xlix. 
19).  "Company,"  "band"  (2  K.  v.  2);  "band  of 
the  rovers"  (ifos.  vi.  9). 

TROPH'IMTJS  (7iourifihed).  A  disciple  of  Paul,  a 
Gentile,  and  an  Ephesian  l3y  birth.  He  accompa- 
nied him  in  his  journey  to  Jerusalem,  A.  D.  58 
(Acts  XX.  4).  Paul  left  him  sick  at  Miletus  (2  Tim. 
iv.  20).    He  was  the  innocent  cause  of  the  tumult 


in  which  Paul  was  apprehended  (Acts  xxi.  27- 
29).

22) ;  also  in  purification,  etc. 
(Lev.  xii.  6-8).  Before  the 
giving  of  the  law  Abraham

minister  and  fellow-servant  of  the  Lord"  (Col.  iv. 
7,   8).    With  Onesimus,  he  was  doubtlessly  the

peninsula  which  was  formerly  an  island  (Ez. 
xxvii.  25),  before  the  siege  of  Alexander.  There 
was  probably  a  city  on  the  mainland,  opposite  the 
island  city;  but  which  was  the  more  ancient  is  not 
decided.  One  of  the  places  was  called  PalpetjTus 
(Old  Tyre).  Hercules  was  worshiped  under  the 
name  of  Melkarth,  and  the  temple  in  his  honor  on

being  iuliabited  by  Phceiiicians,  and  only  20  ms. 
apart  (i  K.  v.  G).  bidon  (son  of  Canaan)  is  men- 
tioned in  tlie  Peutateucli;  Tyro  is  not  (Con.  x.  15); 
it  being  mentioned  lirst  in  Josliua  (xix.  129),  wliero 
it  appears  as  a  fortilied  city. 

The  Cauaanites  were  not  di'ivcu  out  of  Tyreaud 
Sidon,  and  otlier  I'lia'ui- 
cian  cities  (Judg.  i.  31), 
as  Moses  directed,  but  tlie 
Jews  lived  among  them. 
Hiram,  king  of  Tyre,  sent 
cedar-wood  and  workmen 
to  build  David  a  palace  (2 
Sam.  V.  11);  and  afterward 
he  also  sent  Hiram  the 
widow's  son,  a  Jew  of  the 
tribe  of  Xaphtall,  who  cast 
the  vessels  of  bronze  for 
the  temple,  king  Iliram  fur- 
nishing the  metal,  besides 
also  the  cedar  and  fir  trees; 
the  Jews  and  Phoenicians 
working  together.  The 
friendship  between  the  Jews 
and  Phoenicians  continued 
for  at  least  a  century,  when 

King  Ahab  married  a  daughter  of  King  Ethbaal 
of  .Sidon. 

In  the  time  of  Joel  (iii.  6-8)  the  Phoenicians  sold 
Jewish  children  as  slaves  to  the  Greeks,  and  Joel 
threatened  retaliation. 

Carthage  was  planted  as  a  colony  of  TjT."e,  143 
years  after  the  building  of  Solomon's  temple. 

There  is  no  record  of  a  war  between  Jews  and 
Phoenicians;  and  the  reason  why  peace  was  so 
constant  is,  that  Palestine  furnished  Phoenicia  with 
grain,  oil,  grapes,  and  wine,  besides  cattle  and 
sheep,  as  is  the  case  now. 

Tiiere  was  an  altar  in  honor  of  Ashtoreth,  the 
Tyrian  gdddess,  "Queen  of  Heaven,"  built  by 
Solomon  on  one  of  the  sunnnits  of  Olivet  as  a 
token  of  his  friendship  for  Hiram,  king  of  Tyre, 
which  stood  for  350  years,  when  it  was  destroyed 
by  Josiah,  only  a  few  years  before  Jerusalem  was 
taken  by  the  Assyrians,  under  Nebuchadnezzar. 
Tyre  was  besieged  for  13  years  (B.  C.  715)  by  the 
same  king  soon  after,  but  it  has  never  been  settled 
whether  he  captured  it  or  not.  But  Alexander  did 
take  the  city  after  a  siege  of  seven  months  (B.  C. 
332),  when  the  island  was  connected  to  the  main- 
land by  a  causeway  built  during  the  siege. 

The  dye  called  Tyrian  purple  was  a  source  of 
great  wealth.  It  was  extracted  from  shell-fish 
found  on  the  coast. 

At  the  time  of  Christ,  Tyre  was  equal  in  popu- 
lation to  Jerusalem.  Cassius,  bishop  of  Tyre, 
attended  the  Council  of  Csesarea.  At  the  time  of 
the  Crusades  (A.  D.  1124)  William  was  made  arch- 
bishop, and  his  account  of  the  city  preserves  the 
record  of  its  wealth  and  strength.  Glass  and 
sugar  are  mentioned  as  articles  of  great  value  in 
trade.  In  June,  1291,  Tyre  was  occuiiied  by  the 
Saracens  (the  Christians  having  abandoned  it  the 
night  before),  and  from  that  day  to  this  they  have 
held  it.  It  is  now  only  a  village  of  about  3,000 
people ;  its  strong  walls  have  entirely  disappeared, 
and  the  harbor  is  almost  useless.  The  iirophet 
Ezekiel  (xxviii.  2)  mentions  the  pride  of  Tjtc— its 
boast  that  it  was  a  god,  and  sat  in  the  seat  "of  God 
in  the  midst  of  the  seas;  and  also  describes  its 
present  desolation  (xxvi.  3-5).  The  most  com- 
plete fulfilment  of  his  prophesies  is  felt  in  the 
sUence  and  desolation  of  Tyre. 

Almost  the  only  relic  of  T^tc's  great  sea-wall, 
lies  in  the  northern  end  of  the  island,  and  is  a 
stone  17  ft.  long,  G34  thick,  and  seems  to  lie  in  its 
original  position,  where  it  was  placed  3000  yrs.  ago. 
Thi're  are  columns  and  floors  of  marble  buried 
under  rubbish  or  sunk  in  the  sea,  all  over  the  site 
and  along  the  sea  border;  and  thousands  of  fine 


pieces  of  stone,  wrought  into  columns,  capitals, 
and  panels,  have  been  carried  away  to  other  cities — 
to  Joppa,  Acre,  and  Beirut.  On  the  mainland  are 
the  ruins  of  the  ancient  Christian  cathedral,  200 
by  140,  massive,  and  Byzantine  in  style.  Paulinus 
was  its  biahop,  and  Eusebiua  wrote  the  couiiecrar

The  historian,  WiUiam  of  Tyre,  held  a  priestly 
rank  here,  and  the  crusaders  their  last  religious 
service  in  Palestine.  In  its  dust  lie  the  remains  of 
the  emperor  Barbarossa,  and  of  Origen,  the  Bible 
scholar.    See  pages  137,  179.

Called  Eulseus  by  the  Greeks  and  Romans.  The 
river  has  changed  its  course  since  ancient  days, 
and  now  has  two  branches — the  Kerkha  and  the 
Kuran,  by  which  its  waters  reach  the  Tigris.  The 
Persian  kings  drank  the  water  of  this  river  only, 
when  at  home  or  on  a  journey,  believing  it  to  be 
lighter,  and  more  wholesome  and  pleasant  to  the 
taste,  IJian  any  other.

TJR'BANE  (L.  Vrbanus,  of  the  city,  refined).  A 
disciple  whom  Paul  saluted,  in  Eom.  xvi.  9. 

U'RI  (Heb.  fieri/).  1.  One  of  the  tribe  of  Judah. 
Father  of  Bezaleeij  1,  architect  of  the  Tabernacle 
(Ex.  xxxi.  2).— 2.  Father  of  Geber  (1  K.  iv.  19).— 
3.  A  doorkeeper  in  Ezra's  time  (Ezr.  x.  24). 

TJHI'AH  (flame  of  Jehovah).  1.  One  of  the 
"worthies"  of  king'David;  a  captain  in  his  army 
and  a  Hittite.  He\vas  the  husband  of  Bathsheba, 
who  became  the  object  of  David's  criminal  passion. 
Wlien  Uriah  was  commanding  with  the  army  be- 
fore Kabbah,  David  directed  Joab  to  place  him  in 
an  exposed  position  in  battle,  where  he  was  killed 
(2  Sam.  xi.  xxiii.  39).    See  David,  Bathsheba.— 


2.  A  priest  at  the  time  of  Ahaz,  witness  of  Isaiah's 
prophesy  concerning  his  son  (Is.  viii.  2).  Probably 
Urijah  (2  K.  xvi.  18).— 3.  A  priest  of  the  family  of 
Koz  at  the  time  of  Ezra  (Ezr.  viii.  3).  In  Neh. 
iii.  4,  21,  called  Urijah. 

XJEI'AS.  1.  Husband  of  Bathsheba  (Matt.  i.  6). 
—2.  Urijah  3  (i  £sd.  ix.  43) . 

TJ'RIEL  ifire  of  God).  The  father  of  Michaiah, 
the  mother  of  Abijah,  king  of  Judah,  according  to 
2.  Chr.  xiii.  2.  Elsewhere  the  mother  of  Abijah 
appears  as  Maacah,  the  daughter  of  Absalom  (1 
K.  XV.  2,  10,  13).  Two  Kohathites  of  the  name  of 
Uriel  appear  in  1  Chr.  vi.  9,  xv.  6-11, 

TJM'JAH  (flame  of  Jehovah).  1. 
High-priest  at  the  time  of  Ahaz. 
Without  divine  authority  he  had  con- 
structed and  also  made  offerings  upon 
an  altar  designed  by  Ahaz  (2  K.  xvi. 
10-12).  Notwithstanding  the  com- 
mittal of  this  error,  Urijah  appears 
to  have  been  a  righteous  man,  and 
one  of  the  "faithful  witnesses"  se- 
lected by  Isaiah  (Is.  viii.  2)  to  attest 
his  prophesy.— 2.  A  prophet,  son  of 
Shemaiah :  he  uttered  prophesies 
against  Judsea  and  Jerusalem  in  the 
time  of  Jehoiakim.  He  was  menaced 
with  death  by  the  king,  and  fled  to 
Egypt,  but  was  delivered  up  by  Pha- 
raoh-Necho  to  Jehoiakim,  who  had 
him  executed  and  dishonorably  buried 
(Jer.  xxvi.  20-21). 

TJ'RIM    AND     THTIM'MIM    (Heb. 

light  and  perfections).  The  twelve 
precious  stones,  when  in  position  in 
the  breast-plate  of  the  high-priest, 
"were  consulted  as  an  oracle.  They 
were  worn  when  the  high-priest  en- 
tered the  Holy  of  Holies  (Ex.  xxviii. 
30).  The  ceremony  of  placing  the  en- 
graved gems  in  their  proper  positions 
in  the  breast-plate  was  very  solemn 
and  imposing,  for  it  typified  the  pres- 
ence of  the  twelve  tribes  before  the 
altar  of  Jehovah.  See  Precious 
Stones. 

TJ'STJRY  (Heb.  nesek).  Interest  for  money  or 
property  loaned.  Usury  is  forbidden  by  the  laws, 
although  it  was  permitted  for  the  Israelites  to  take 
usury  "from  any  one  not  a  Jew.  This  was  used  as 
a  means  of  ruining  the  Canaanites.  After  the  re- 
turn of  the  Jews  from  Captivity  they  were  ordered 
by  Nehemiah  "to  leave  off  usury"  (Neh.  v.  10, 
11),  and  to  restore  what  had  been  exacted.  Christ 
denounced  all  methods  of  extortion:  "Give  to 
every  man  that  asketh  of  thee ;  and  of  him  that 
taketh  away  thy  goods  ask  them  not  again." 
"Love  ye  your  enemies,  and  do  good,  and  lend, 
hoping  for  notliing  again"  (Luke  vi.  30-35;  Ps. 
XV.  5). 

TI'TA.  Ancestor  of  certain  Nethinim  (1  Esd.  v. 
30). 

TI'THAI  (Jah  succors).  1.  Son  of  Ammihud  (1 
Chr.  ix.  4).— 2.  Son  of  Bigvai,  who  returned  from 
Captivity  (Ezr.  viii.  14). 

U'THI.    Uthai  2  (1  Esd.  viii.  40). 

VZ.  The  land  in  which  Job  hved  (Job  i.  1), 
and  evidently  settled  by  a  son  of  Aram,  grandson 
of  Shem  (Gen.  x.  23).  Supposed  to  have  been  E. 
or  S.  E.  of  Palestine  (Job  i.  15,  17),  in  the  vicinity 
of  the  Sabfcans  and  the  Chaldfeans,  and  of  Edom 
(Lam.  iv.  21).  The  description  of  the  people  cor- 
responds to  that  of  the  nomade  tribes  of  Arabia 
Deserta. 

"CZAI  (stronfi).  Father  of  Palal,  who  assisted 
Nehemiah  (Neh.  iii.  25). 

TJ'ZAL  (wanderer),  (Gen.  x.  27;  1  Chr.  i.  21;  Ez. 
xxvii.  19).    Javan.    "The  capital  city  of  Yemen,

V 


VA'HEB  (Heb.  a  gift?)  An  obscure  word, 
translated  "what  he  did."  Only  found  in  Num. 
xxi.  14.  Probably  a  proper  name  of  some  place  in 
Moab,  on  the  Arnon. 

VAIL.    See  Dress. 

VAIL  OF  THE  TABERNACLE.    See  Temple. 

VA-JEZ  A-THA,  or  VAJ-E-ZA'THA  (tohite,  pure). 
One  of  Haman's  ten  sons  killed  in  Shushan  by  the 
Jews  (Esth.  ix.  9). 

VALE,  VALLEY.  Five  Hebrew  words  are  trans- 
lated valley,  each  conveying  a  separate  meaning. 
1.  BiKAH  (to  cleave) ,  genevaWy  a  broad,  open  valley, 
enclosed  by  mountains  or  otherwise.  The  plain  of 
Shinar  is  thus  named  (Gen.  xi.  2).  Palestine  a 
"land  of  hills  and  valleys"  (Deut.  xi.  11).— 2. 
GAi  and  GE  (to  flow  together).  A  narrow  valley  or 
ravine.  "Doves  of  the  valleys"  alluding  to  the 
rocks  bordering  the  glens  in  Palestine  being  the 
resort  of  doves  (Ez.  vii.  16).  The  word  ge  often 
IS  used  in  combination  with  other  words.— 3.  nak- 
HAL  (to  recmve)  signifies  a  torrent— bed,  or  a  valley 
ory  in  summer  but  with  a  river  or  torrent  flowing 
in  winter.  This  word  corresponds  to  the  modern 
Arabic  term  for  vvXloy—wady.  Used  also  to  signify 


a  brook.  "My  brethren  have  dealt  deceitfully  as 
a  brook,  as  the  stream  of  brooks  they  pass  away" 
(Job  vi.  15-17).  Also  used  for  valley  and  for  stream, 
as  in  1  Kings  xvii.  3,  4. — 1.  erneh  (to  be  deep),  a 
low  tract  of  land,  surrounded  by  hills  on  high 
ground;  as  the  wide  " mlley  of  Jezreel,"  lying  be- 
tween Gilboa  and  Moreh  (Judg.  vi.  35).  Except 
in  Josh.  xix.  27,  where  the  Hebrew  word  itself  is 
used  as  Bath-EMEK,  this  word  is  translated  valley 
or  vale.— 5.  shephelah  (a  low  plain).  With  the 
exception,  in  Josh.  xi.  16,  where  "the  valley  of  the, 
satTie"  is  used  without  the  article  denoting  it  a  pro- 
per name,  the  word  Shephelah  means  the  plain  of 
Philistia.    See  Plain. 


PUISOK    RUIN. 

VASH'NI.    The  eldest  child  of  Samuel  (1  Chr. 

vi.  28). 

VASH'TI  (a  beauty).  The  queen  of  Persia,  di-

vine"  (Is.  v.  2).  Nazir  "  vine  undressed  "  (Lev. 
XXV.  5,  11).    See  Vineyard. 

VINE  OF  SODOM.  "Their  vine  is  the  vine  of 
Sodom"  (Deut.  xxxii.  .32).  This  is  generally  sup- 
posed to  allude  to  the  apples  of  Sodom;  but  it  is 
improbable,  for  a  vine  is  distinctly  mentioned. 
Probably  it  was  used  figuratively  as  in  Ps.  Ixxx.  8, 
14;  Is.  V.  2,  7.  The  enemies  of  Israel  in  this  rela- 
tion would  be  compared  to  tlie  people  of  Sodom. 

VINEYARDS,  PLAIN  OF  THE  (Judg.  xi.  33). 
Beit  el  Kerm,  10  ms.  N.  of  Kerak,  on  the  ancient 
Roman  road,  where  there  are  ruins  of  a  temple. 

VINEYARD.  The  vine,  its  fruit,  the  grape,  and 
wine  and  vinegar  produced  from  it,  are  frequently 
mentioned  in  the  Scripture,  as  is  natural  from  its 
being  a  native  of  the  East  (supposed  to  have  origin- 
ated in  Margiana,  S.  of  the  Caspian  Sea),    it  is

VIRGIN 


mentioned  in  the  earliest  histories  of  all  people, 
and  has  always  been  highly  valued.  Moses,  Homer, 
and  Herodotus  wrote  about  it ;  and  before  their 
day,  the  Egyptians  pictured  it,  and  methods  of 
preparing  its  products  for  use,  on  their  monuments. 
Various  preparations  from  the  vine  are  in  use, 
among  which  are:  The  juice  of  the  unripe  grape, 
for  acid;  in  some  parts  the  unripe  grapes  are  dried 
and  powdered,  forming  a  pleasant  acid;  grapes, 
both  fresh  and  dried,  as  raisins;  the  juice  of  grapes 
fresh  pressed  is  valued  as  a  pleasant  beverage, 
called  must;  this  juice  is  also  boiled  down  into  dibs 


PETER  IN  PRISON. 

(^molasses),  used  at  the  table;  wine,  alcohol,  and 
vinegar  are  made  by  fermentation;  cream-tartar  is 
made  from  the  lees;  a  fragrant  oil  is  pressed  from 
the  seeds;  the  ashes  from  the  twigs  and  stalk  yield 
carbonate  of  potash.  A  fruitful  vine  is  often  used 
as  an  emblem  of  the  Hebrew  nation,  and  a  period 
of  security,  repose,  peace,  and  prosperity  is  figured 
by  every  one  sitting  under  his  own  vine  and  fig- 
tree;  and  the  drinking  of  wine  was  also  used  as  a 
symbol  of  the  highest  spiritual  blessings  (Is.  Iv.  1, 
2).  In  fearful  contrast  to  this  is  the  desolation  of 
the  house  of  Israel,  figured  by  the  neglected, 
trodden-down,  wasted  vineyard,  by  Isaiah  (v.  1-7) ; 
and  by  the  vine  brought  out  of  Egypt,  by  Asaph 
(Ps.  Ixxx.  8-16).  The  first  notice  of  wine  in  the 
Scriptures  is  when  Noah  planted  a  vineyard  (Gen. 
ix.  20,  21),  and  suffered  (himself  and  his  posterity) 
from  excess  in  its  use.  The  next  is  in  the  story  of 
Lot  (xix.).  When  Isaac  blessed  Jacob,  he  prayed 
the  Lord  to  give  him,  among  other  things,  plenty 
of  corn  and  wine  (xxvii.  28).  Pharaoh's  chief 
butler  made  must  for  his  king  (xl.  11).  Moses 
mentions  wine  (frequently  in  his  laws,  and)  as  a 
drink-offering  (Num.  xv.  5,  7,  10 ;  see,  also,  Judg. 
ix.  13) ;  but  it  was  forbidden  to  the  priests  during 
their  service  in  the  tabernacle  (Lev.  x.  9) ;  and  it 
is  thought  that  Nadab  and  Abihu  transgressed 
because  of  an  excess  in  its  use.  During  a  vow  the 
Nazarite  was  not  to  drink  wine  or  vinegar,  to  eat 

f  rapes,  or  touch  any  prodiTct  of  the  vine:  (as  car- 
onate  of  potash  enters  into  some  kinds  of  bread, 
he  may  have  been  restricted  to  unleavened  bread. 
Num.  vi.  .3,  4).  The  people  drank  wine  at  their 
sacred  festivals  (Deut.  xiv.  22-26).    The  Rechab- 


ites  abstained  from  wine  (and  from  living  in 
houses)  in  obedience  to  the  command  of  their 
ancestor.  Wine  was  used  in  the  ceremony  of  the 
Passover.  There  was  a  custom  of  giving  medicated 
wine  or  vinegar  to  criminals  who  were  condemned 
to  death,  to  stupefy  them,  and  thus  lessen  the  pains 
of  execution  (Pro v.  xxi.  6,  7;  Amos  ii.  8),  as  in 
the  case  of  the  crucifixion,  when  the  soldiers  gave 
Jesus  vinegar  mixed  with  some  drug,  evidently 
with  kind  intentions  (Matt,  xxvii.  34;  Markxv.  23). 
Mixed  wine  is  frequently  mentioned.  It  was 
mixed  with  water  (perhaps  only  to  weaken  it  for 
common  use,  or  it  may  be 
for  deception  (Is.  v.  22), 
and  with  milk  (Cant.  v. 
1),  and  with  spices  to  in- 
crease its  strength  and 
flavor  (Ps.  Ixxv.  8;  Is.  v. 
22).  The  wine  of  Leba- 
non was  peculiarly  fine 
(Hosea  xiv.  7),  and  had 
a  grateful  odor,  and  the 
Tyrians  imported  a  fa- 
mous quality  from  Helbon 
(Ezr.  xxvii.  8).  Wine 
(and  other  liquids)  are 
kept  in  skins  (bottles) 
made  of  goat-skins,  or  from 
the  skins  of  other  animals, 
especially  of  the  ox  for  the 
largest,  sewed  and  pitched, 
and  stored,  not  generally 
in  their  houses,  but  in  a 
wine-store,  where  it  was 
fermented.  Jesus  sanc- 
tioned the  use  of  wine, 
and  made  a  supply  at  a 
marriage-feast  (John  ii.), 
and  is  charged  with  be- 
ing a  .wine-bibber  by  his 
enemies,  in  contrast  to 
John  the  Baptist,  who  ab- 
stained from  both  bread 
and  wine  (Luke  vii.  33, 
34).  Paul  advises  Timo- 
thy to  use  a  little  wine  for 
its  expected  relief  from  his  "often  infirmities"  (1 
Tim  .iv.  23) .  The  warnings  against  excess  in  its  use 
as  a  beverage  are  frequent  and  severe  in  both  the 
O.  T.  and  the  N.  T.  (Prov.  xx.  1,  xxiii.  29-35,  xxxi. 
4,  5;  1  Cor.  vi.  10;  Gal.  v.  21).  The  wine-press 
was  generally  in  the  vineyard  (Is.  v.  2;  Matt.  xxi. 
33),  outside  of  the  cities  (Zech.  xiv.  10;  Rev.  xiv. 
20),  where,  in  the  vintage,  they  had  a  merry  time 
treading  the  grapes  (Judg.  ix.  27;  Is.  xvi.  10;  Jer. 
xxv.  30,  xlvin.  33 ;  Neh.  xiii.  15 ;  Is.  Ixiii.  2 ;  Joel 
ii.  24),  which  custom  furnished  strong  figures  to 
the  prophets  of  the  judgments  of  the  Lord  upon 
Israel  (Lam.  i.  15;  Joel  lii.  13),  and  of  his  mercies 
and  blessings  also  (Prov.  iii.  10).  The  vineyards 
are  generally  planted  on  hill-sides,  which  are  often 
terraced  to  the  summit,  far  from  the  village,  with- 
out hedge  or  fence,  requiring  constant  watching. 
The  strongest  young  men  are  set  apart  for  this 
duty,  and  take  their  stand  on  the  hill-tops  or  on 
towers;  which  custom  Isaiah  makes  the  subject  of 
one  of  his  finest  figures  of  the  prosperity  of  Zion 
(hi.  7,  8).  The  watchmen  are  stationed  near  each 
other  (within  sight  and  hearing  of  each  other's 
voices),  and  have  certain  calls  to  use  in  case  of 
danger,  or  in  "publishing"  peace  and  safety,  now 
as  in  the  olden  time  {Land  and  Book,  ii.  412).

youn-g  woman),  (Is.  viii.  3,  4;  Matt.  i.  23;  Prov. 
xx.x.  1!)).  ... 

VIS  ION.  A  supernatural  presentation  of  certain 
scenery  or  eircunistances  to  the  mind  of  a  person 
either  while  awake  or  asleep  (Is.  vi.;  Ez.  1.; 
Dan.  viii.;  Acts  xxvi.  13).    See  Dream. 

VOPH'SI  {my  mklition).  Father  of  Nahbi 
(Num.  xiii.  14).  . 

VOW  (lleb.  NEDEU,  vaw  of  dcvotton;  Heb. 
ESAU,  VOID  of  abstinoice ;  and  hkuem,  vow  of 
destntction).  Vows,  in  general,  are  men- 
tioned in  Job  xxii.  27,  etc.  (Gr.  amdh'ema, 
devoUd).  The  earliest  vow  mentioned  is  Ja- 
cob's (Gen.  xxviii.  18-22,  xxxi.  13).  The  law 
regulated  the  practice  of  vows.  A  man  might 
devote  to  sacred  uses  possessions  or  persons, 
but  not  the  tirst-born  either  of  man  or  beast 
(  Lev.  xxvii.  20).  Moses  enacted  several  laws 
for  the  regulation  and  execution  of  vows 
(Deut.  xxiii.  21,  23).  The  vows  of  minors 
were  not  binding  without  the  consent  of  the 
head  of  the  family  (Num.  xxx.).  These  self- 
imposed  services  were  more  in  keeping  with 
the  ancient  dispen.sation— in  which  outward 
sacrifices  had  so  large  a  share— than  with  en- 
lightened Christianity.

VXTL'TUEE  (Heb.  daah),  (Lev.  xi.  14); 
(Heb.  DAYYAH),  (Deut.  xiv.  13)  ;  ayyah 
(Job.  xxviii.  7).  A  large  bird,  belonging  to 
the  genus  haicks,  and  including  a  great  many 
species.  It  is  pronounced  unclean  by  Moses 
(Lev.  xi.  14;  Deut.  xiv.  13).  The  vulture 
has  a  naked  or  downy  head,  a  bare  neck, 
and  long  wings.  It  is  a  carrion-bird,  and  is 
remarkable  for  its  powers  of  vision,  and  the 
great  hight  at  which  it  soars.  It  scents  its 
prey  from  afar.  Scarcely  can  an  exhausted 
camel  fall  on  its  route,  and  die,  before  numbers  of 
these  filthy  scavengers  show  themselves  (Job. 
xxvui.  7). 


as  appears  in  the  remains  of  the  temple-wall  at  th<^ 
wailiug-place,  and  underground,  lately  examined 
by  the  Palestine  Exploration,  and  at  the  Damas- 
cus Gate,  David's  Tower,  etc.    Many  other  speci- 


W 


WA'FER  (Heb.  rakik).  A  thin  cake  made  of 
flour  or  leaf-like  bread  (Ex.  xvi.  31),  and  used  in 
various  offerings,  anointed  with  sweet  oil. 

WA'GES  (Heb.  maskoreth,  sachar;  Gr.  misthos, 
omouiii).  The  law  was  very  strict  in  requiring 
daily  payment  of  wages  (Lev.  xix.  13).  The  em- 
ployer who  refused  to  give  his  laborers  sufficient 
food  was  censured  (Job  xxiv.  11),  and  the  with- 
holding wages  was  denounced  (Jer.  xxii.  13).  The 
rich  oppressed  the  poor  in  the  later  times,  and  called 
down  Malachi's  denunciation  (iii.  5). 
WAG'ON  (Heb.  agalah).  See  Cart. 
WALL.  1.  Walls,  supporting  terraces  on  side- 
hills,  were  made  from  the  loose  stones  gathered  on 
the  side-hill,  either  with  or  without  mortar.  These 
walls,  ruined  or  entire,  are  found  all  over  the  hill- 
counti-y,  and  are  especially  noticeable  at  Bethle- 
hem and  Gibeah,  N.  W.  of  Jerusalem.  This  cus- 
tom doubled  the  capacity  of  the  hill-sides  in  its 
power  of  producing  grain  or  supporting  trees,  for 
the  soil  was  wa.shed  down  by  the  heavy  rains,  if 
not  terraced.  Walls  were  built  around  sheep- 
cotes,  m  the  open  country,  for  the  protection  of 
the  flock  at  night,  and  many  such  are  still  to  be 
seen  in  the  desert  S.  of  Palestine.    See  Gedor. 

The  ancient  walls  of  temples  and  forts  were 
sometimes  built  of  very  large  stones,  laid  in  a 
channel  cut  in  the  solicl  rock  (see  Jerusalem). 
■Ihe  style  of  rebated  faces  of  blocks  in  a  wall 
(called  also  beviled)  is  the  mark  of  great  antiquity, 
and  almost  always  of  Phoenician  origin.  The 
Hei)rews  followed  this  style  in  the  temple-wall, 
and  in  some  parts  of  the  city  wall  of  Jerusalem, 


■WHIRLINO   TIERVISHES. 

mens  are  found  at  Hebron,  in  the  mosque  over 
Machpelah,  at  Paneas,  Tyre,  etc. 

The  Assyrians  often  faced  a  wall  of  some  coarse 
material  (earth,  loose  stones,  etc.)  with  slabs  of 
marble,  or  bricks. 

Walls  of  houses  were  made  of  dirt,  clay,  bricks 
(sunburnt  or  fire-ldlned),  and  of  stone,  rough  or 
dressed. 

Where  a  common  highway  ran  through  a  vine- 
yard, it  was  often  walled  on  both  sides  (Num. 
xxii.  24). 

WAS.  In  war  the  custom  of  the  Israelites  re- 
sembled that  of  surrounding  countries.  See  Army. 
Their  first  object  in  war  was  conquest;  and  then, 
when  in  Canaan,  their  defense  against  enemies. 
They  consulted  the  Urim  and  Thuminim,  or  the 
prophet,  before  going  to  war,  or  into  battle.  The 
Hebrews  were  almost  always  at  war,  with  others 
or  among  themselves,  generally  on  account  of 
neglecting  the  true  worship,  when  Jehovah  pun- 
ished the  nation  by  the  means  of  other  people 
sent  against  them. 

WASHING  THE  HANDS  AND  FEET.  As  no 
knives  or  forks  were  used  at  the  table,  washing  of 
the  hands  before  and  after  meals  was  necessary 
(Matt.  XV.  2).  Because  of  the  dust  and  heat  of 
the  Eastern  climate,  washing  the  feet  on  entering 
a  house  was  an  act  of  respect  to  the  company,  and 
of  refreshment  to  the  traveler  (Gen.  xviii.  4). 
Wlien  done  by  the  master  of  the  house  it  was  an 
especial  mark  "of  respect  and  honor  to  the  guest. 

WATCH.  A  division  of  the  night.  See  Chro- 
nology. 

WATCH'EE.  A  figurative  designation  of  heavenly 
things,  apparently  angels,  as  seen  by  Nebuchad- 
nezzar in  his  dream  (Dan.  iv.  13,  17-23). 

WATCH'MEN.  Are  of  as  early  a  date  as  cities, 
robbers,  and  wars  (Ex.  xiv.  24).  Jerusalem  and 
other  cities  had  regular  guards  night  and  day 
(Cant.  iii.  1-3,  5,  7).  When  danger  is  apprehended 
they  are  required  to  call  to  each  other  every  few

minutes.  They  were  stationed  at  tlie  gate  of  a 
city  and  in  the  adjacent  tower  (2  Sam.  xvni.  24-27) ; 
and  their  responsible  office  required  great  vigilance 
and  fidelity  (Jer.  vi.  17). 

WA'TER  (Heb.  mayim;  Gr.  Jiudor).  To  the 
ancient  Hebrews  water  was  of  inestimable  value 
(Ex.  XV.  22).  It  is  an  emblem  of  the  spu'itual 
blessings  or  Salvation,  which  God  bestows  upon 
his  people  (Is.  Iv.  1).    See  Jerusalem. 

WA'TER-GATE  (Neh.  xii.  37).  A  gate  of  Jeru- 
salem. 

WATER  OF  JEALOUSY.  Holy  water  mixed  with 
dust  from  tlie  floor  of  the  Tabernacle,  given 
in  the  case  where  a  wife  was  suspected  by  the 
husband,  on  whom  had  fallen  "the  spirit  of  jeal- 
ousy;" described  in  Num.  v.  11-31.  In  such  a 
case  an  offering  had  to  be  brought  by  the  husband 
(Lev.  ii.  2). 

WA'TER-POT  (Gr.  hndria).  A  large  vessel  of 
stone  in  which  water  is  kept  standing,  also  for 
caiTying  water  (John  ii.  6,  7). 

WAVE'-OF'FERING    (Heb.    tentjpah).       The 


breast  of  every  peace-oppering,  the  Passover 
sheaf,  loaves  and  lambs  at  Pentecost,  etc.,  were  to 
be  "waved"  before  the  Lord,  and  were  hence 
called  wave-offerings  (Ex.  xxix.  24-28). 

WAX  (Heb.  donag).  Mentioned  in  scripture  as 
easily  melted  by  heat  (Ps.  xxii.  14 ;  Ex.  xxii.  24). 

WAY  (Heb.  derech,  Gr.  hodos).  A  road,  track, 
path  or  HIGHWAY  (Gen.  xvi.  7);  in  Acts  ix.  2 
applied  to  the  Christian  religion. 

WEA'SEL  (Heb.  choled).  Is  identical  with  the 
Arabic  chuld  and  the  Syriac  chuldo,  both  words 
signifying  a  mole;  and  therefore  that  the  unclean 
animal  mentioned  in  Lev.  xi.  29,  is  not  a  weasel 
but  a  kind  of  mole.  Several  varieties  of  weasels 
and  moles  are  found  in  Palestine. 

WEAVING.  Was  practiced  by  the  ancients,  and 
exhibited  on  the  ancient  monuments  of  Egypt 
(Gen.  xli.  42).  It  was  usually  performed  by 
women  (2  K.  xxiii.  7).  The  distaff,  the  shuttle, 
and  the  weaver's  beam  and  pin  are  mentioned  in 
Judg.  xvi.  14;  1  Sam.  xvii.  7;  Job  vii.  6. 

WEEK  (Heb.  shabua).    See  Chronology. 

WEIGHTS  AND  MEASURES.  The  notices  of  weights  and  measures  in  the  Bible  are  few  and  incom- 
plete, and  we  have  to  supply  the  wanting  information  from  other  sources;  chiefly  from  the  systems  of 
ancient  nations,  following  the  chain  from  Rome  up  through  Greece,  Egypt,  and  Phoenicia,  to  Babylon, 
the  origin.  The  system  was  nearly  uniform  everywhere,  but  varied  from  one  age  to  another.  Layard 
found  at  Nineveh  the  weights  used  by  the  Babylonians,  which  were  in  the  form  of  lions  and  of  ducks, 
with  rings  for  handles,  of  different  sizes,  in  a  certain  system,  the  lightest  weighing  about  4  oz.,  the 
heaviest  about  40  lbs.

The  names  are  derived  from  members  of  the  human  body— -the  cubit,  the  length  of  the  forearm 
from  the  elbow  point  to  the  third  finger-tip,  was  the  unit,  a  name  and  custom  derived  from  Egypt,  and 
recorded  on  the  monuments.  There  is  no  record  of  the  unit  in  the  Bible,  Josephus,  nor  in  any  ancient 
Hebrew  buUding.

tlie  account  of  Jacob's  sojourn  with  Laban  occurs 
the  tirst  mention  of  wheat  (Gen.  xxx.  14).  Egypt 
was  celebrated  for  wheat;  of  the  bearded  and 
also   of   the   seven-eared   kind  (Gen.    xli.    22), 


WELL  (Heb.  beer).  The  necessity  and  demand 
for  water  in  a  hot  climate  has  rendered  it  a  pos- 
session of  the  greatest  importance  (Judg.  i.  15; 
Gen.  xxi.  30,  31).  So  that,  in  war,  the  wells  were 
often  tilled  in  by  the  enemy  (2  K.  iii.  19).  Wells 
in  Palestine  have  generally  to  be  sunk  through 
limestone;  sometimes  they  are  descended  by  steps 
(Gen.  xxiv.  16).  A  curb  or  low  parapet- wall  en- 
circles their  mouths;  sometimes  they  were  f  lU'nished 
with  stone  covers  (Ex.  xxi.  33).  Christ  sat  on  the 
curb  of  the  well  when  he  conversed  with  the 
woman  of  Samaria  (John  iv.  6).  The  water  was 
hoisted  by  a  rope  attached  to  a  bucket,  water-skin, 
or  stone  jar  (Gen.  xxiv.  l'4-20;  John  iv.  11).  Also 
a  wheel  was  used  upon  which  was  slung  an  endless 
belt,  on  which  jars  to  hold  the  water  were  attached 
at  intervals.  The  well-swing  was  of  ancient  use, 
being  a  beam  balanced  upon  a  pivot,  with  a  rope 
and  bucket  at  one  end  and  a  stone  balance- weight 
at  the  other.  Women  were  usually  employed  to 
fetch  water.  Many  places  are  named  in  relation 
to  wells,  such  as  Beersheba,  Beer-EUm,  Eehoboth, 
etc. 

WEN  (Heb.  yabbal,  flowing),  (Lev.  xxii.  22). 
A  tumor  which  is  movable,  pulpy,  and  often  elastic 
to  the  touch. 

WENCH.    Maid-servant  (2  Sam.  xvii.  17,  only). 

WEST  (Heb.  yam  (sea).  Maarab  (Is.  xlv.  6). 
Maarabah.  The  place  where  the  sun  sets.  Gr. 
dxisme,  the  setting  of  the  sun,  the  quarter  of  the 
heavens  or  earth  which  lies  toward  the  setting 
sun,  or  opposite  the  east  (Gen.  xii.  8). 

East  (lleb.  kedem,  kadim,  kidmah,  kadmon, 
KADMONi,  before,  or  in  front  of,  a  person),  (Job 
xxiii.  8,  9).  Heb.  mizrah,  the  place  of  the  mn's 
rising  (Ps.  ciii.  12). 

North  (Heb.  zafon,  Gr.  borrhas).  That  quar- 
ter of  the  heavens  or  earth,  or  that  direction  which 
is  at  the  left  hand  of  a  person  who  faces  the  east 
(Gen.  xiii.  14). 

South  (Heb.  darom,  bright,  sunny.  Tetman. 
What  IS  on  the  right  hand  of  a  person  facing  the 
east  (Gen.  xii.  9). 

WHALE  (Heb.  tan  or  tannin,  seor-monster, 
dragon).  "Even  the  sea-monsters  (tannin)  draw 
out  the  breast,  they  give  suck  to  their  young  ones" 
(Lani^  IV.  3).  Here  the  whale  is  evidently  alluded 
to.  Probably  the  fish  which  swallowed  Jonah  was 
some  large  kind  of  shark,  or  a  fish  especially  pro- 
vided  (John  i.  17;  Gen.  i.  21;  Matt.  xii.  40). 

WHEAT  (Heb.  dagan,  rifoth,  chittah).    In 


known  now  as  mummy- 
wheat,  from  being  found 
encased  in  the  munnnies: 
if  such  grain  be  planted 
it  will  yield.  Wheat  was 
plentiful  in  Syria  and 
Palestine  (Ps.  Ixxxi.  16, 
cxlvii.  14,  etc.).  The 
common  kind  w^ould  pro- 
duce sometimes.one  hun- 
dred grains  in'  the  ear 
(Matt.  xiii.  8).  The 
wheat  was  planted  in 
the  winter,  and  reaping 
commenced  towards  the 
end  of  April,  in  May, 
and  in  June.  See  Ag- 
riculture. Harvest. 
WHIRL'WIND  (Heb. 
sufah),  (Job.  xxvii.  9). 
Storm  (Job  xxi.  18)  ; 
sa'ar,  tempest  (Ps.  Iv. 
8).  A  violent  wind  or

terrible  wind  storms,  which  are  sudden  in  coming,

WID'OW  (Heb.  almanah;  Gr.  chera).  The  Mo- 
saic dispensation  made  no  provision  for  the  main- 
tenance of  widows.  They  were  left  dependant 
upon  their  friends,  especially  the  first-born  or  eldest 
son,  whose  birth-right  or  extra  share  of  the  prop- 
erty imposed  such  a  duty  upon  him.  The  widow 
was  commended  to  the  care  of  the  community  (Ex. 
xxii.  22).  The  widow,  when  left  childless,  "was  to 
marry  the  brother  of  her  deceased  husband  (Deut.

a  widow  (Lev.  xxi.  14).    Poor  widows  were  cared 
for,  among  others,  in  the  early  Chm-ch  (Acts  vi.; 
James  i.  27). 

WIL'DERNESS.  1.  SrN.  See  Exodus.  2.  Of  the 
Wandering.  The  district  over  which  the  Israelites 
wandered  between  the  two  visits  to  Kadesh,  for 
about  38  years  is  not  certainly  known.  The  proba- 
bility is  that  it  was  what  is  now  called  Et  Tyh,  the 
Wandering.  See  Paran.  It  is  a  high,  hmestone 
plateau,  affording  good  pasture  in  the  rainy  season, 
and  is  not  a  desert  at  any  time  except  in  a  few  iso- 
lated patches.  It  may  be  divided  into  the  sandy 
plain  along  the  sea  shore,  the  wadies  (dry  river 
vallies),  and  the  high  table-land.  There  are  moun- 
tain peaks.  The  shore  of  the  Mediteranean  is 
bordered  by  a  low  sandy  plain,  grassy  where 
watered,  which  extends,  in  the  Wady  El  Arish 
and  its  branches,  far  inland,  and  is  full  of  hills 
and  shifting  sand.  The  only  reaUy  barren  waste, 
hke  the  Nefood,  or  the  Dahna  (I'ed  waste),  of 
Arabia,  occurs  only  here  and  there,  where  the 
springs  have  dried  up  from  the  loss  of  trees,  and 
sand  has  been  brought  by  the  winds.  Above  the 
plain  rise  low  table-lands,  covered  with  a  hard, 
white  soil,  which  on  the  more  elevated  plateaus  is 
displaced  in  places  by  gravel.  Everywhere  there 
are  dry,  treeless  water-courses,  green  with  herbage 


where  there  are  trees  and  plants,  and  evidences  of 
a  greater  extent  in  the  past.  The  remains  of  large 
trunks  of  trees  scattered  over  this  region  indicate 
a  more  copious  rain-faU,  and  the  existence  of 
groves,  if  not  of  forests,  in  some  past  age.  Evi- 
dences of  a  former  state  of  cultivation  are  found 
in  stone  walls  aU  over  the  district,  and,  wherever 
there  is  water,  flowers,  herbs,  grasses,  and  groves 
of  acacia,  tamarisk,  and  other  trees.  This  region 
is  now  capable  of  supporting  immense  flocks  and 
herds,  and,  under  more  favorable  conditions  of 
forest  and  rain,  might  have  given  support  to  the 
tribes  of  Israel  for  ages,  independent  of  any  mirac- 
ulous supply.  There  are  very  few  names  even 
now,  in  the  district,  and  none  which  can  be  traced 
to  the  time  of  the  Exodus.  See  Sinai,  Geology.

WIL'LOWS  (Heb.  arabim).  Were  used  for 
making  booths  at  the  Feast  of  Tabernacles  (Job 
xl.  22),  also  giving  shade  to  behemoth  (Is.  xliv. 
4) ;  a  common  tree  which  grows  in  marshy  places 
(Job  xl.  22) ;  with  a  leaf  much  like  the  olive  (Lev. 
xxiii.  40).  The  "weeping  willow"  memorable  in 
connection  with  the  mourning  Hebrew  captives 
(Ps.  cxxxvii.  2),  is  a  native  of  Babylonia.  The 
"Brook  of  the  Willows,"  (Heb.  nahal),  (Is.  xv. 
7),  on  the  S.  border  of  Moab,  flows  into  the  S.  E. 
extremity  of  the  Dead  Sea  (Num. 
xxi.  19).    Nahaliel. 

WILLS.  Two  instances  are  re- 
corded in  the  O.  T.  under  the  Law, 
of  testamentary  disposition.  1. 
Effected  in  the  case  of  Ahithophel 
(2  Sam.  xvii.  23).  2.  P>,ecom- 
mended  in  the  case  of  Hczekiah 
(2  K.  XX.  1;  Is.  xxxviii.  1). 

WIM'PLE  (Heb.  mitpahath). 
A  mantle  or  shawl  (Ruth  iii.  15; 
Is.  iii.  22). 

WIND  (Heb.  ruah  or  ruach). 
Wind  from  the  North,  South,  East, 
and  West,  was  expressed  as  of  the 
' '  four  quarters  "  or  "  four  winds ' ' 
(Ez.  xxxvii.  9 ;  Dan.  viii.  8;  Matt, 
xxiv.  31).  The  cold  wind  of  the 
N.  is  appealed  to  in  Cant.  iv.  16. 
The  N.  W.  wind  lasts  from  the 
autumnal  equinox  to  the  beginning 
of  November,  and  the  N.  wind  from 
June  to  the  equinox.  As  the  E. 
wind  passes  over  the  sandy  wastes 
of  the  Arabian  desert  before  ar- 
riving in  Palestine,  it  was  called 
tlie  "  wind  of  the  wilderness  "  (Job 
i.  19;  Jer.  xiii.  24).  The  S.  wind 
after  passing  over  the  Arabian 
peninsula  acquires  great  heat  (Job 
xxxvii.  17;  Luke  xii.  65).  The  W. 
and  S.  W.  winds  reach  Palestine  in 
a  humid  state  acquired  from  the 
Mediterranean .  The  sea  of  Genes- 
aret  was  subject  to  squalls  of  wind 
(Mark  iv.  37  ;  Luke  viii.  23).  The 
wind  spoken  of,  figuratively,  as  in 
Jer.  xviii.  17,  typical  of  the  waste 
of  war;  as  transitory,  in  Job  vii. 
7 ;  Ps.  Ixxviii.  39,  etc.  It  repre- 
sented the  operations  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  in  John  iii.  8 ;  Acts  ii.  2. 

WINDOW  (Heb.  ballon  or 
challon).  The  windows  were 
apertures  closed  in  with  lattice- 
work, called  in  Heb.  arubbah 
(Eccl.  xii.  3).  Although  there  were 
windows  looking  into  the  street 
in  the  rainy  season,  furnishing  good  pastures  but  ]  they,  for  the  most  part,  opened  into  the  inner 
no  tillage.  The  highest  plateau  is  covered  with  a  court  (Judg.  v.  28  ;  Prov.  vii.  6).  See  House.

into  new  ones,  to  avoid  the  refuse  of  the  old  wine, 
which  may  be  sour. 

WINE-PRESS,  THE  (PURAH,  gath).  Is  of  the 
highest  antiquity,  and  is  drawn  on  the  walls  of  the 
Egyptian  temples  and  tombs.  Remains  of  wine- 
vats  are  found  in  many  parts  of  Palestine,  cut  in 
the  solid  rock.  Some  were  very  large,  as  that  in 
which  Gideon  threshed  (Judg.  vi.  11).  Wine  has 
always  been  in  use,  and  the  Scriptures  only  con- 
demn its  excessive  use.  Corn,  wine,  and  oil  are 
special  gifts  of  Providence.  It  was  the  usual 
drink-offering  (Ex.  xxix.  40)  to  be  presented 
among  the  first-fruits  (Lev.  xxiii.  13).  The  priests 
were  prohibited  from  the  use  of  wine  and  strong 
drink  before  service  in  the  Temple  (Lev.  x.  9), 
and  the  Nazarite  during  his  vow  (Num.  vi.  3). 
The  wine-cup  was  handed  round  four  times  during 
the  Paschal  Feast,  especially  after  the  Captivity. 
Jesus  speaks  of  the  wine  used  as  the  fruit  of  the 
vine  (Matt.  xxvi.  29).  Wine  is  generally  mixed 
with  water  (warm;  see  Justin  Martyr,  Apol.  i.  65). 
Those  holding  office  in  the  Church  were  not  to  be 
given  to  wine  (1  Tim.  ill.  3),  or  to  much  wine  (iii. 
8),  or  a  slave  to  much  wine  (Titus  ii.  3).  Paid 
once  recommends  its  use  (to  Timothy,  1  Tim.  v.  23). 

WIT,  TO.  To  know  (Gen.  xxiv.  21;  2  Cor. 
viii.  1). 

WITH,  WITHES  (Heb.  tetharim),  (Judg.  xvi. 
7-9),  a  cord  or  I'ope.  A  with  or  witfie  is,  probably, 
a  flexible  twig  for  binding.

WITNESS.  The  law  was  very  careful  to  provide 
and  enforce  evidence  for  all  its  infractions  and  all 
transactions  bearing  on  them  (Num.  xv.  39,  40. 
Two  witnesses,  at  least,  are  required  to  establish 
any  charge  (xxxv.  30).  A  false  witness  was  pun- 
ished. Women  and  slaves  were  not  admitted  to 
bear  testimony  (Josh.  iv.  8). 
_  In  the  N.  T.  the  original  notion  of  a  witness  is 
m  the  special  form  of  one  who  attests  his  belief  in 
the  Gospel  by  personal  suffering  (Acts  xxii.  20). 

WOLF  (Heb.  zeeb;  Gr.  lukos').  A  fierce  and 
rapacious  animal  (Gen.  xlix.  27)  which  prowls  at 
night  (Jer  v.  6),  and  especially  destructive  to 
sheep  (Matt.  x.  16;  Luke  x.  3).  "Thoy  were  very 
plentiful  in  Palestine,  but  are  now  miich  less  com'- 
mon.  It  clo.sely  resembles  the  dog.  They  are 
cruel  but  cowardly  animals,  swift  of  foo"t  and 
strong  enough  to  carry  off  a  sheep  at  full  speed, 
and  is  now,  as  of  old,  the  dread  of  the  shepherds 
of  Palestine.    They  secrete  themselves  till  dark 


among  the  rocks,  then  leap  into  the  fold  and  seize 
their  victim  by  stealth.  The  wolf  fiist  U-ais  out 
the  entrails  and  devours  the  heart,  liver  aiul  lungs 
before  the  muscular  parts,  llis  bite  is  vigorous 
and  deadly;  his  mode  of  attack  is  by  short,  rapid 
snaps.  A  single  wolf  is  far  more  destructive  than 
a  whole  pack  of  jackals.  The  Syrian  wolf  is  of 
lighter  color  than  that  of  Europe,  and  larger  and 
stronger. 


WOM'AN,  WOM'EN  (Heb.  isasKAS,  female;  Gr. 
guim,  theleia,  female),  (Rom.  i.  26,  27).  Is  men- 
tioned in  the  Scriptures  as  the  beloved  and  honored 
companion  and  helpmeet  of  man  (Gen.  xxii.  23, 
24).  In  the  East  women  have  always  lived  in  se- 
clusion, not  appearing  in  public  unless  closely 
vailed,  not  seeing  the  men  who  visit  their  husbands 
and  brothers,  nor  even  taking  their  meals  with  the 
men  of  their  own  family.  They  were  chiefly  en- 
gaged in  domestic  duties  (Prov.  xxxi.).  The  poor 
gleaned  the  remnants  of  the  harvest  (Gen.  xxix. 
9,  xxiv.  15-20).  Oriental  women  are  never  re- 
garded or  treated  as  equals  by  the  men.  This  is 
seen  on  all  occasions.  They  pronounce  women  to 
be  weak  and  inferior  in  the  most  absolute  terms. 
Even  in  polite  society  the  gentlemen  must  be 
served  first.  So  the  husband  and  brothers  sit 
down  and  eat,  and  the  wife,  mother,  and  sisters 
wait  and  take  what  is  left.  If  they  accompany 
their  female  relatives  anywhere,  they  walk  before, 
and  the  women  follow  at  a  respectful  distance.  It 
is  very  common  to  see  small  boys  lord  it  over  their 
mothers  and  sisters  in  the  most  insolent  manner; 
and  they  are  encouraged  to  do  so  by  the  father. 
They  literally  use  the  rod  upon  them.  Instances 
are  not  rare  in  which  the  husband  kills  the  vrife 
outright,  and  no  legal  notice  is  taken  of  the  mur- 
der. She  is  confined  closely,  watched  with  jealousy, 
and  everything  valuable  is  kept  under  lock  and

key:  necessarily  so,  they  say,  for  the  wife  will  not 
hesitate  to  rob  her  husband  if  she  gets  an  oppor- 
tunity. The  Arabs  have  a  word — '^ajellack" — by 
which  they  preface  the  mention  of  anything  indel- 
icate or  unclean.  Thus,  ajellack,  a  donkey,  or  a 
dog,  or  my  shoes;  so,  when  compelled  to  speak  of 
their  women,  they  say  "ajellack,  my  woman,"  or 
simply,  "the  woman  is  so  and  so."  These 
and  similar  customs  enable  us  to  understand 
why  it  is  that  acquaintance  before  marriage  is 
ordinarily  out  of  the  question.  It  is  considered 
quite  immodest  for  an  unmarried  lady  to  man- 
ifest any  special  regard  for  her  future  hus- 
band. The  birth  of  a  son  is  always  a  joyful 
event  in  a  famUy;  but  that  of  a  daughter  is 
often  looked  upon  as  a  calamity.  If  the  first 
wife  has  no  children  the  husband  marries 
another  or  takes  a  slave.  The  whole  system  is 
productive  of  evil,  and  that  only,  to  the  in- 
dividual, the  family,  and  the  community. 

WOOL  (Heb.  zemek;  Chal.  amar;  Gr. 
erion).  Wool  was  an  article  of  the  highest 
value  among  the  Jews  (Lev.  xiii.  47).  The 
"fleece"  (Heb.  gez,  gizzah),  is  mentioned  in 
Deut.  xviii.  4.  The  wool  of  Damascus  was 
highly  prized  in  TjTe  (Ez.  xxvii.  18).  Wool  is 
an  image  of  purity  (Is.  i.  18;  Dan.  vii.  9). 
Garments  made  of  woolen  and  linen  were  pro- 
hibited by  the  law;  the  cloth  bore  a  peculiar 
name  (Heb.  shaatruz),  "thou  shaltnot  wear 
a  garment  of  divers  sorts"  (Deut.  xxii.  11). 
Josephus  (iv.  9,  §11),  says  the  reason  for  the 
law  against  wearing  a  garment  woven  of  linen 
and  wool  was  that  such  were  worn  by  priests 
alone. 

WORD  (Heb.  emer,  omer,  imrah,  dabar, 
jnL  i.AH,  etc. ;  Gr.  logos  SiX^d.  rema.    "Word" 
is  applied  to  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.    See  His-

WORLD  (Heb.  erez),  (Is.  xxiii.  17).  Earth. 
Heb.  hedel,  place  of  rest,  region  of  the  dead.  Heb. 
HELED,  this  world.  Heb.  olam  (Ps.  Ixxiii.  12), 
"world  without  end."  Heb.  tebel,  the  earth 
fertile  and  inhabited.  Gr.  aion,  eternal  (Matt.  xii. 
32).    See  Alexandria.

WORM'WOOD  (Heb.  laanah;  Gr.  apsintho's). 
A  bitter  plant,  a  symbol  of  whatever  is  nauseous 
and  destructive  (Deut.  xxix.  18;  Jer.  ix  15)  Dif- 
ferent species  are  found  in  Palestine.  It  was  used

Diflfused  in  alcohol,  it  is  now  used  to  an  alarming 
extent  in  France  and  Switzerland.  The  Jews  put 
it  in  their  wines,  probably  for  tonic  purposes.  The

WRITING  (Heb.  kathab,  to  write; 
SEEER,  a  book;  sofer,  a  writer).  The 
Phoenician  was  the  most  ancient  alphabet 
that  is  known  to  us.  The  Egyptian  writ- 
ing may  have  been  more  ancient,  Imt 
that  was  not  alphabetic,  being  both  ide- 
ographic and  phonetic.  Pliny  (vii.  56) 
says  the  Syrians  (Phoenicians)  invented 
writing,  but  gives  the  Assyrians  credit  for 
great  antiquity  in  the  use  of  the  art. 
The  discovery  of  the  Moabite  Stone  (see 
p.  173)  proves  the  origin  of  the  Greek  let- 
ters to  have  been  Phoenician ;  and  it  is 
probable  that  the  Hebrews  used  the  alpha- 
bet in  common  with  the  Phoenicians,  as 
may  be  inferred  from  their  names ;  as 
Aleph,  ox;  Gimel,  camel.

TRANSLATION 


The  form  of  five  of  the  Hebrew  letters  was 
changed  when  the  hitters  were  final  (at  the  end  of 
the  word),  a  system  which  was  usetul  when  sen- 
tences were  written  witliout  spaces  between  the 
words ;    for    instance     IwASGLADWHE/tTHEYSAiD 

TJNTOMELETUSGOU/TOTHEHOUSEOFTHELOKD      (Ps. 

cxxii.  1).  This  writing  without  division  into 
words  is  a  nioi'e  close  following  of  speech,  which 
is  a  continuous  flow  of  sound,  the  mind  separating 
the  words,  or  ideas.  The  Moabite  Stone  (page 
9-t)  is  an  instance  from  antiquity.  The  spaces 
there  show  where  the  stone  has  been  broken  or  de- 
faced, and  letters  lost. 

Abbreviations  were  common  both  in  books,  and 
on  coins,  and  also  in  inscriptions  on  the  monu- 
ments, as  ISR  for  ISRAEL,   YAH  for  JEHOVAH. 

Numbers  were  indicated  by  letters  and  figures. 
Figures  are  found  on  the  Phoenician  coins,  and 
monuments  in  Palmyra,  and  Egypt.    The  (Greeks 
also  used  letters  in  writing  numbers.    Diller- 
ences  in  certain  statements  of  numbers  can  be 


The  oldest  monument  in  alphabetical  writing  is 
the  Moabite  Stone  (p.  173),  which  is  dated  as  early 
as  900  B.  C,  if  it  does  not  belong  to  David's  time 
(1025  13.  C).  The  ancient  Phoenician  monuments, 
dating  later  than  the  Moabite  stone,  are  counted 
by  hundreds. 

No  vowel  points  are  found  on  the  coins,  in  the 
Palmyrene  inscriptions,  or  on  the  Phoenician  mon- 
uments. It  is  probable  that  the  vowel-points  were 
first  written  by  Ezra.  The  Arabic  is  the  first  in 
point  of  time  to  show  the  use  of  vowel-points, 
dating  before  A.  D.  G50.  The  present  Arabic  sys- 
tem of  writing  dates  from  about  A.  D.  930. 

Some  scholars  contend  that  the  vowel-points 
were  not  in  use  before  A.  1).  .O.'JO.

all  above  the  letters.  The  present  system  is 
uniform  everywhere  and  dates  from  about  A.  D. 
1050. 

Accents  were  also  marked,  for  the  purpose  of 
noting  the  tone-syllable  (directing  the  reader  in 
the  synagogue),  and  the  chief  words  in  the  sent- 
ence. There  were  peculiar  styles  of  recitation 
for  each  class  of  books,  the  law,  prophets,  and 
poets,  which  are  stiU  in  use.  The  metrical  chants 
have  been  lost.    See  Music. 

The  materials  which  have  come  dovni  to  us  from 
antiquity  are,  stone,  bricks,  papyrus,  vellum,  parch- 
ment. Embossed  leather  is  still  preserved,  bearing 
the  names  and  date  of  the  Pharaohs  3,300  years 
ago.  Papyrus  is  alluded  to  in  3  Mace.  iv.  20,  and 
2" John  12  (Gr.  xartes,  chartes);  and  in  Josephus 
(Ant.  iii.  11,  6,  xii.  2, 10);  and  parchment  in  2  Tim. 
iv.  13  (Gr.  inembrannf) .  Skins  of  clean  animals 
only  could  be  used  for  the  Scriptures;  as  kelep 
(skin  of  the  hairy  side),  for  the  tophillim,  phylac- 
teries; diksostos  (Heb.  diks),  for  the  mezuzoth; 
and  gevil  (of  undivided  skin,  dressed).  The  ink 
(deyo,  Gr.  melan,  black),  was  of  lampblack  wet 
with  gall-juice,  sometimes  diluted  with  vitriol.  The 
inkstand  (keseth  hassoper),  was  carried  in  a 
case  (kalmarin),  with  pens,  knife,  etc.,  by  a  strap 
over  the  shoulder,  or  fastened  at  the  girdle. 

The  rolls  were 
written  in  col- 
umns      (  D  E  L  A- 

thoth),  (one, 
two,  or  three,  ac- 
cording to  the 
width  of  the  roll), 
with  a  margin 
above  of  3  fin- 
gers, below  of  4, 
and  between  the 
columns  of  an 
inch.  The  col- 
umns are  about  2 
fingers  wide  in 
the  Herculaneum 
rolls;  and  others  there  are  3  in.  (4  fingers). 
The  case  in  which  the  rolls  were  kept  were  called 

KEREK  or  KARKA. 

Tablets  of  wood  covered  with  wax  were  used  for 
ordinary  writing  not  intended  for  keeping  a  long 
time.  On  these  the  letters  were  impressed  with  a 
stylus  (Job  xix.  24),  sometimes  of  iron  (Ps.  xlv. 
2).  For  engraving  on  stone  the  point  called  che- 
RET  (Ex.  xxxii.  4;  Is.  viii.  1),  and  zipporen  (Jer. 
xvii.  1),  were  used. 

A  reed  pen  (3  John  13;  3  Mace.  iv.  20),  was  used 
on  parchment  and  papyrus.

oppressed  very  sore.

Translation  of  the  inscriptions  on  the  sarcopha- 
gus which  was  found  at  Sidon: 

ON  THE  BODY. 

1.  In  the  month  of  Bui,  year  14  of  my  reigning, 

I  king  Ashmanezer  king  of  the  Sidonians 

2,  Son  of  King  Tabinth,  king  of  the  Sidonians: 

spake  King  Ashmanezer  king  of  the  Sidon- 
ians, saying:  I  have  been  stolen  away 

3  before  my  time— a  son  of  the  flood  of  days.  The 

whilom  great  is  dumb — the  Son  of  God  is 
dead.  And  I  rest  in  this  grave,  even  in  thy 
tomb, 

4  in  the  place  which  I  have  built.    My  adjuration 

to  all  the  ruling  powers,  and  all  men.    Let  no 
one  open  this  resting-place,  and 
6  not  search  with  us  for  treasure,  for  there  is  no 
treasure  with  us,  and  let  Mm  not  bear  away 
the  couch  of  my  rest,  and  not  trouble 

6  us  on  this  resting-place  by  disturbing  the  couch 

of  my  slumbers.  Even  if  people  should  per- 
suade thee,  do  not  listen  to  their  speech.  For 
all  the  ruling  powers  and 

7  all  men  who  should  open  the  tomb  of  this  my 

rest,  or  any  man  who  should  carry  away  the 
couch  of  my  rest,  or  any  man  who  trouble  me 
or 

8  this  my  couch,  unto  them  there  shall  be  no  rest 

with  the  departed;  they  shall  not  be  buried 
in  a  grave,  and  there  shall  be  to  them  neither 
son  nor  seed 

9  in  their  stead,  and  the  holy  gods  will  send  over 

them  a  mighty  king  who  will  rule  over  them, 
and 

10  cut  them  off  with  their  dynasty.    If  any  human 

being  should  open  this  resting-place,  and  any 
man  should  carry  away 

11  this  tomb — be  he  of  royal  seed  or  a  man  of  the 

people;  there  shall  be  unto  them,  neither  root 
below  nor  fruit  above,  nor  honor  among  the 
living  under  the  sun    *    *    *

by  Moses  from  the  top  of  Pisgah  (Deut.  xxxiv.  3). 
Following  Josephus  (Ant.  i.  11,  §  4),  the  Crusaders,

Kerak.  Palms  once  flourished  here  so  abundantly 
as  to  give  it  the  name  of  City  of  Palms  (William 
of  Tyre,  xxii.  30).  Some  have  supposed  Zoar  to 
have  been  much  nearer  Jericho,  and  on  the  E.  of
